Conflict is normal — even in the healthiest female friendships. But how you handle it can determine whether your bond deepens or slowly fades away. In this episode of The Friendship Tour, Cecelia sits down with Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Ashley Cook, to discuss conflict — why it happens, why we avoid it, and how to navigate it with grace. Ashley walks through the five styles of conflict resolution — avoidance, defeating, compromise, accommodating, and collaboration — and shares why collaboration is often the healthiest approach, though each style has its place. Together, they explore:

How do leaders keep their heads clear and hearts open in the heat of difficult conversations? I ask because it's only natural for leaders (and any human, really) to bristle at opposition to their ideas, critique of their efforts, or recommendations for improvement. Being in community with each other requires a high level of mutual responsibility. But the practice of accountability can activate deeply entrenched defense mechanisms, even in the most self-aware among us (note to self). In part two of my conversation with Julianne Guinasso, LMFT, and co-founder of Level Up Leaders, we explore the challenges leaders face as they try to balance the needs of the collective and the desires of the individual. GUEST BIO Julianne Guinasso is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice and co-founder of Level Up Leaders Inc., where she partners with Poonam Natha to support group practice owners in cultivating psychological safety through trauma-informed leadership. With over a decade of leadership experience, she helps practice owners move beyond performative policies to tend their relational ecosystems, creating collaborative cultures that reclaim joy and sustain vision. *** Join the Group Practice (R)evolution!

As a parent, one of the hardest questions you'll ever face is this: How do I teach my kids about sex in a porn-filled world—without using fear, shame, or silence?In this episode, I sit down with Taylor Chambers, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of The Good and The Free, to talk about what it really means to raise porn-resilient kids and model fearless sexuality—not just for them, but for ourselves as men.We explore what it looks like to move beyond fear-based parenting and into sexual wholeness, integrity, and self-leadership. Taylor shares his deeply human story of moving from religious shame and willpower-based recovery into an approach grounded in acceptance, integration, and emotional honesty—the same work that helped him build his Porn Resilient Summit and framework for helping families heal from shame and secrecy around sexuality.In this episode, we dive deep into:How fear and shame around sexuality create disconnection and secrecyWhy porn addiction recovery starts with your own sexual integrationThe psychology of how kids internalize sexual shame—and what to do insteadThe neuroscience of fear, desire, and emotional regulationHow to talk with your kids about sex and pornography in ways that build trust, confidence, and self-respectThe true meaning of integrity and why it's impossible to be “whole” while rejecting parts of yourselfHow to raise kids who are resilient, not just “protected,” in a digital worldWhy fearless sexuality doesn't mean indulgence—it means freedom from control, repression, and fearYou'll learn how to reframe sexuality as a relationship rather than a problem to eliminate, and why healing your own sexual shame directly impacts your children's freedom and confidence.We talk about the inner work every man must do to align his psychology, spirituality, and masculinity—so you can live with the kind of integrity your kids can actually feel.If you've ever felt torn between wanting to protect your kids and wanting to raise them to be strong, wise, and connected—you need this conversation.Featuring: Taylor Chambers, LMFT — The Good and The FreeTaylor is a leading voice in porn addiction recovery, healthy sexuality, and shame-free living. He's a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, creator of the Porn Resilient Model, and founder of The Good and The Free, where he teaches men, parents, and couples how to build sexual wholeness rooted in honesty, integrity, and freedom.Follow Taylor at wearethegoodandthefree.com or on Instagram @thegoodandthefreeDon't miss the Porn Resilient Online Summit (Oct 13–16, 2025), where I'll share The RAIL Method™—a step-by-step system to turn cravings into fuel for recovery.

"Love should be seen as something which in a sense never ‘is' but is always only ‘becoming', and what it becomes depends up on the contribution of both persons and the depth of their commitment.”~ Karol WojtyłaWhy doesn't arousal come as easily as we expected?How do we make opportunities for intimacy when life is so busy?How can I have honest conversations with my spouse about arousal and our sex life?In Episode 83 of This Whole Life, Pat & Kenna are joined by guest Trisha McKeever, LMFT for Part 2 of the "Holy Sex" series, focusing on arousal within marriage. With honesty, humor, and vulnerability, they explore the real-life intricacies of intimacy, including the challenges of noticing, naming, and cultivating arousal amidst the busyness of family life. The conversation breaks down common myths around arousal, embracing the idea that self-awareness and willingness play key roles in developing a healthy sexual relationship. Drawing from clinical practice and Christian principles, they discuss practical steps couples can take to recognize and communicate their needs, address internal and external “blocks,” and honor each other's differences — whether you're a “rocket” or an “airplane.” Tune in for relatable stories, expert insights, and actionable advice that will encourage couples to integrate faith, emotional awareness, and authentic connection in the bedroom and beyond.Trisha McKeever is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota and has been in private practice for 10 years. She is passionate about incorporating her own Christian beliefs and her perspective as a believer into the healing work that she does with her clients. Trisha also brings the wisdom of 19 years of marriage, and she is the mother of three children.Episode 83 Show NotesChapters:0:00: Introduction and Highs & Hards15:01: What does arousal really mean?24:37: Choosing arousal & openness30:33: When the brakes get engaged37:51: Communicating about arousal with my spouse46:32: Gender differences in arousal & readiness56:00: Challenge By ChoiceReflection Questions:What is one specific thing that stuck with you from this conversation?How do you define “arousal” in the context of your own marriage or relationship?What are some “blocks” or “brakes” that you have experienced in your sexual relationship?

I'm so excited to share this week's NEW episode with Nicole Zasowski, a Marriage & Family Therapist and the author of What If It's Wonderful?, From Lost to Found, and Daring Joy. In this conversation, we talk about why joy can feel so vulnerable, why our minds often default to worst-case scenarios, and how we can find the courage to embrace the good in our lives instead of always fearing what's around the corner. For so many of us, it feels safer to prepare for disappointment than to fully lean into joy — but in doing so, we miss out on the very moments we're longing for. Nicole shares powerful insights and practical steps to help us shift our perspective, regulate our thoughts, and truly celebrate both the small and big moments that make life meaningful.Suggested Resources: Nicole E.

Just days after Charlie Kirk's assassination, I sit with Texas Marriage and Family Therapist Jonathan Cogburn for what becomes a profound exploration of faith, courage, and finding hope in dark times. Jonathan shares his journey from being apolitical to openly identifying as conservative, inspired by brave voices who showed him there's nothing shameful about his beliefs.We dive into systems theory concepts like pursuer-distancer patterns that explain both family dynamics and our current cultural moment, discussing how healthy conflict is necessary to prevent accumulated resentment. Jonathan reveals his patient approach to online discourse, treating people as capable of the change he hopes to see, while I grapple with questions of when charity becomes naive.Our conversation weaves through theological perspectives on human worth, the intersection of therapy and faith, and how Christianity offers a practical framework for living with our flawed nature. We tackle the thorny question of whether consequences for those glorifying violence constitute "cancel culture" or a necessary reset of social norms. This episode captures the wrestling many of us are doing right now - how to maintain hope, express truth, and build bridges while protecting ourselves and those we love.Jonathan Cogburn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in West Texas who currently works for an agency that provides a variety of support to school districts in his area  In that role he delivers state-required mental health training to districts, supports rural school counselors and homeless student liaisons, and co-leads a team of licensed professionals and school counselors that respond to crises and disasters.

Is nervous system regulation a natural skill or a conscious effort? In this episode, we delve into the skill of pendulation—the mindful shift between safety and defense—and explore why it appears effortless for some but feels impossible for others.Discover the "carnival game" analogy for understanding your nervous system's capacity, learn how natural pendulation occurs in processes like grieving, and understand where you might fall on the spectrum of "stuckness."

In this conversation, we explore what really happens when the excitement of dating shifts from surface-level fun to the reality of building something deeper.We unpack why it's easy to get caught up in the vibes, fun, and commonalities—but harder to be truly naked with someone emotionally and mentally. What happens when the “fun” stops and real life shows up? We discuss the difference between chasing the dopamine hit of excitement versus embracing the vulnerability of honest, tough conversations.From communication styles to self-accountability, we ask the real question: What's the goal? Together, we explore how resentment can grow on both sides if tough conversations are avoided, and why seeking peace in relationships often matters more than chasing fleeting happiness.If you're navigating dating, love, or long-term relationships, this episode will challenge you to rethink connection, communication, and the path toward building something realKeep up with Jane: https://www.themotherloadcollective.com/https://www.janejohnsonwall.com/https://www.yourmompod.com/about

Ever wondered if that “toxic” label is being thrown around too loosely—or if there's something deeper happening in your relationships? In this episode of The Bossy Big Sis, Brandi sits down with Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (and host of the Soul Grit Podcast), Ann Taylor McNeese, to talk about those hard-but-necessary conversations around narcissism, family dynamics, boundaries, and faith. This is not your typical clinical chat—think coffee date with girlfriends, sprinkled with wisdom, laughter, and a whole lot of real talk about what it means to navigate messy relationships while still guarding your heart. Inside this episode we cover: The difference between difficult people vs. something more serious Why boundaries aren't about controlling others (and what they really are) How “triggers” show up in everyday life and how to stop letting them run the show The sneaky ways we over-function in our families and what that costs us How faith reshapes the way we navigate toxic dynamics and find peace This conversation will leave you nodding along, reflecting on your own family patterns, and maybe rethinking the way you approach conflict altogether. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or your protein shake), and let's dig in and you just might shift how you see your relationships.

Have you ever left a therapy session feeling completely wiped out, as if you've run a marathon you didn't train for? It's a common experience, but it isn't the goal of effective therapy. That feeling of depletion is a critical signal from your body that you've been pushed beyond your nervous system's capacity.In this episode, we explore a body-centric, Polyvagal-informed approach to therapy that builds resilience instead of burning you out. You'll learn how to work with your therapist to anchor in your safety state, mindfully "tiptoe" to the edge of discomfort, and safely return—a process that empowers you and grows your capacity over time. This is about building internal resources, not just surviving the session.If you're ready to change your expectation of therapy from draining to empowering, this episode is for you.Resources:

— All bodily sensations, including those visceral feelings from your chest and stomach, are relayed back to the brain through the pathways via the spinal cord. Your already anxious and highly alert brain then processes these signals at both conscious and unconscious levels. The insula is a part of the brain specifically involved in conscious awareness of your emotions, pain and bodily sensations. The prefrontal cortex also engages in self-awareness, especially by labeling and naming these physical sensations, like feeling tightness or pain in your stomach, and attributing cognitive value to them, like “this is fine and will go away” or “this is terrible, and I am dying.” These physical sensations can sometimes create a loop of increasing anxiety as they make the brain feel more scared of the situation because of the turmoil it senses in the body.  Although the feelings of fear and anxiety start in your brain, you also feel them in your body because your brain alters your bodily functions. Emotions take place in both your body and your brain, but you become aware of their existence with your brain. — by Arash Javanbakht, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Wayne State University Valeria interviews Dr. Megan Plotkowski on the topic of The Neuroscience Of Anxiety — Dr. Megan is an EMDR-trained Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who brings a rare fusion of scientific precision, emotional depth, and intuitive clarity to her clinical work. She holds a PhD in molecular biology and biochemistry with an emphasis in neuroscience, as well as a master's degree in clinical psychology—bridging the world of hard science with the complexities of human experience.  Megan currently works in both private practice and community mental health, specializing in clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected—particularly those navigating anger, anxiety, addiction, trauma, or complex family dynamics. Before entering the field of psychotherapy, Megan worked as a research scientist at Amgen and UCLA, contributing to groundbreaking studies in molecular genetics and neural protein structure and function. She also taught at UCLA. Her academic background continues to inform a therapy style rooted in evidence-based practice, intellectual rigor, and deep compassion. In recent years, Megan has also come to recognize and trust a deep intuitive knowing that emerges both in her personal life and in the therapy room. This awareness led her to develop a dual-wisdom model of therapy that honors both the analytical and the unseen—a framework that bridges neuroscience and symbolism, logic and lived experience, insight and mystery. Whether drawing from hard science, depth psychology, or intuition, Megan's work is grounded in the belief that healing often begins where the visible ends—and that true transformation happens when the unspoken is finally brought into the light.

A special collaboration episode with Black Women Healing Podcast and the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast! Jasmine, host of the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast, joins Myra and Donika, hosts of the Black Women Healing Podcast to talk about city planning and mental health. You can watch this episode on YouTube here. Jasmine (New Jersey suburbs), Myra (Inglewood, California), Donika (Louisville, Kentucky) share their relationship with the field or industry of urban planning; the first time taking a city-wide public bus, the struggle of finding community after moving to a new city, and watching their hometown change through gentrification. The conversation gets local with all three ladies living and working in Los Angeles, California. The discussion shifts to fighting gentrification in Inglewood and South Central LA amongst planning decisions for SoFi Stadium, LAX, and metro line expansion. The message “DON'T SELL YOUR GRAMMA HOUSE” rings throughout the conversation as we break down some causes and solutions to gentrification, both personal and political. The hosts explore how the absence or presence of parks and greenspace [urban planning] impacts anxiety and depression [mental health], how certain infrastructure like highways can lead to health issues like asthma while others such as bike lanes and wide sidewalks fight diabetes and heart disease. The conversation sites research from The Trust for Public Land, New York City Community Parks Initiative, and Smart Growth America. The episode is available to watch on YouTube and listen on all streaming platforms.Jasmine is so honored to be featured as a guest on the Black Women Healing Podcast!

Divorce isn't just a legal or financial process—it's an emotional one. In this powerful episode, Karen and Catherine are joined by Virginia Gilbert, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and author of Transcending High Conflict Divorce, to talk about a topic most people don't expect to encounter during divorce: grief. Together, they explore: The emotional toll of divorce grief—even if you're the one initiating it Why grief can leave you feeling financially stuck or frozen The real reason some spouses feel guilt or shame about asking for financial clarity How emotional reactivity can sabotage financial decisions The pressure many women feel to hold on to the family home The myths and realities of “nesting” after divorce How to move from emotional reactivity to radical acceptance—and why it matters Virginia also shares her own story of navigating a high-conflict divorce, how that experience reshaped her career, and why she believes divorce can be a transformative experience—if you're willing to do the inner work. Divorce grief is real—and it's not linear. Expect to cycle through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, acceptance (aka “DABDA”). High-conflict dynamics often carry over from the marriage into the divorce. Learning to disengage emotionally is essential. Financial empowerment starts with overcoming emotional roadblocks and becoming an active participant in your own decision-making. Letting go of control, identity, or even the family home can be one of the hardest—but most liberating—parts of healing. Radical acceptance doesn't mean indifference. It means understanding what you can't change and choosing how you'll respond next. About Our Guest: Virginia is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California, North Carolina, and Florida via telehealth. She specializes in helping people disengage from high-conflict exes and take their power back. She's the author of Transcending High Conflict Divorce and leads therapeutic divorce groups for men and women navigating emotional entanglement and reactivity.

"It's more than just numbers. There's an emotional component, a psychological component there, that money has meaning to us, that we ascribe to it,” says Ashley Quamme. “And when we make financial decisions, it's not just making financial decisions from a number standpoint, but it's also making it from an emotional place as well.”A therapist and Certified Financial Behavior Specialist®, Ashley is the founder of Beyond the Plan, which connects firms with financial behavior officers (FBO) so they can navigate sensitive client financial decisions. In this conversation with host Shane Tenny, CFP®, Ashley suggests that financial decisions aren't driven solely by logic; they're deeply intertwined with our emotions, beliefs, and past experiences.“Financial psychology,” she explains, is about “understanding how people or how clients, how their emotions, their thoughts, their experiences, their behaviors, their attitudes, beliefs – how all of that impacts their financial decisions.” In working with advisory firms to help advisors and clients, Ashley focuses on how trauma and deeply held beliefs shape money behaviors. Past experiences create patterns – from scarcity and abundance mindsets to financial trauma and comfort spending – that either help or hinder our financial success. The discussion delves into the fundamental dynamics at play in couple relationships around money, with Ashley describing how anger often masks deeper fears and how financial arguments are rarely about the money itself. She also shares practical strategies for identifying personal money beliefs, including her "money timeline" exercise for self-discovery and her "think, feel, do" framework for understanding financial decision-making patterns.For medical and dental professionals juggling high-stress careers with complex financial decisions, Ashley's insights offer a pathway to better understand the emotional undercurrents that drive financial behavior and ultimately achieve greater financial wellness aligned with personal values.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere these days—even in the therapy room. But what does that mean for therapists, clients, and the future of mental health care? Is AI here to replace humans, or could it become a valuable partner in the healing process?In this episode of Everyday Therapy, hosts Brett Cushing, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Dr. Karin Ryan, Licensed Psychologist, unpack the fascinating and sometimes unsettling rise of AI in therapeutic settings. From chatbots that deliver therapy to mood-tracking tools that give instant feedback, they explore how AI can reinforce therapy, when it might fall short, and what ethical concerns we all need to keep in mind.They share real-world examples of AI helping clients in between sessions, the potential benefits for accessibility and consistency, and the very human skills, like reading body language and building deep trust, that machines just can't replicate.Tune in to Discover:What AI therapy looks like and how it works in real lifeHow AI can reinforce skills learned in therapy sessionsThe benefits of 24/7 availability and instant feedbackLimitations of AI in understanding context, tone, and nonverbal cuesConcerns about over-reliance, social isolation, and cognitive declineThe ethical questions around privacy, crisis care, and human oversightWhy a balanced approach is keyResourcesNystrom & Associates Counseling & TherapyNystrom & Associates ServicesContact the podcast: Podcast@NystromCounseling.comSubscribe & ReviewIf you found this episode helpful, subscribe to Everyday Therapy and leave us a review.

“Mental health and physical health can't be separated.” – Julie CardozaFor many women, the first signs of perimenopause aren't hot flashes or irregular cycles; they're mental health changes like anxiety, burnout, irritability, and brain fog. In the conventional medical system, these symptoms are often treated in isolation, without anyone connecting the dots between hormonal shifts, nervous system regulation, and the overall health picture. This is where mental health professionals have a huge opportunity to step in and make a difference.By asking the right questions and being willing to listen without rushing to “fix,” you can uncover the physiological changes that may be contributing to your clients' mental and emotional symptoms. The reality is that up to 85% of women in midlife are also dealing with other chronic conditions like pain, fatigue, dysautonomia, or gut issues, all of which can impact mental health. Understanding these mind-body connections is key to providing effective, compassionate, and comprehensive care.Today, I'm joined by Julie Cardoza, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, a Polyvagal Theory Specialist, and a graduate of our Perimenopause and Menopause Coaching program. Julie integrates trauma-informed mental health care with holistic menopause support, helping clients feel truly heard while taking a holistic approach to their health.In this episode, Julie and I discuss the intersection of mental health and women's health during perimenopause and menopause, the importance of integrating hormonal health knowledge into clinical practice, recognizing mind-body connections, providing holistic, trauma-informed care, Julie's RADIANT framework, why we need more interdisciplinary collaboration, how we can better support women navigating their midlife transitions, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/why-we-need-more-perimenopause-professionals-in-mental-health-with-julie-cardoza-ms-lmft-and-iwhi-graduate/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).
