Episode 150: Finding Community, Healing Together, and Living in Alignment with Randi Rubenstein What does it mean to find real community in a world that often feels disconnected? In this episode of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, I sat down with Randi Rubenstein for the final conversation in our three-part series on Creativity, Entrepreneurship, and Living an Aligned Life. This time, we explored the transformative role of community in healing, leadership, and building a more connected and joyful life. From the mastermind group Randi accidentally created years ago to the healing communities I've found through dance, parenting circles, and entrepreneur spaces, we both reflect on the power of being seen, held, and co-creating with others. But we also don't shy away from the complexity—how community can also bring up fear, past wounding, and the need for strong Pack Leadership (Randi's term for grounded, non-reactive leadership rooted in care). Here's what we explore in this deep and energizing conversation: ✨ What makes a community feel safe, healing, and energizing (vs. performative or depleting)✨ How strong Pack Leadership creates safety and builds trust✨ Why we often carry wounds from early communities and how to find spaces that help us heal✨ The connection between novelty, leadership style, and nervous system regulation✨ Why co-creating (vs. top-down leading) is the secret to sustainable group work✨ How our own zones of genius show up in leadership roles✨ Navigating sensitivity and overwhelm when leading or participating in group spaces The Truth About Healing in Community One of the biggest takeaways? While we are wounded in community, we are also healed in community. The difference lies in the presence of safe, emotionally regulated leadership. Randi shares how the community she built within Mastermind Parenting grew out of a simple parenting course—and how the women in that group didn't want to leave because they finally felt held. That accidental community is now a co-created space that has helped women start businesses, change their lives, and feel a sense of deep belonging. Pack Leadership and Co-Creation: The Container Matters We unpack how Pack Leadership (a grounded, non-reactive presence that models calm confidence and sets clear boundaries) is essential for a safe group space. But not the "dominate or control" kind of leadership—this is about responding from our Self energy and encouraging everyone to bring their voice and genius to the table. Co-creation is the heart of it all. Whether it's a mastermind group, a dance retreat, or a kitchen-table podcast, there is power in shared ownership. That's what turns a program or group into a community. Feeling Too Much? You're Not Alone. As two sensitive leaders, Randi and I also talk about how it can be hard to feel the pain of others so deeply—and how to stay grounded and effective as a community builder. Whether you're leading a large group or building small, intentional spaces, trusting your energy, pace, and personal capacity is vital. Aligned Leadership Means Trusting Yourself We also explore how our nervous systems guide us toward the right communities. Randi shares her "straightjacket or skinny dipping" metaphor for gauging how a space feels in your body. Does it feel constrictive or expansive? Energizing or draining? That intuitive guidance is part of aligned leadership. Where Community Shows Up From mastermind groups to dance studios, local creative meetups, and therapist circles, we reflect on where we've found aligned, life-giving community. It takes courage to find your people—and to walk away from spaces that don't feel right. But it's worth it. Loved this Convo?

Suzi and Cari McLean from Mental Joe sat down to discuss the powerful connection between family healing and the recovery of veterans and first responders. They emphasized that when one partner commits to healing, it strengthens the entire relationship, allowing them to better support their loved one's journey. True recovery isn't just about the individual—it's about healing as a unit. Without addressing trauma together, moving forward as a family becomes a challenge.

More than one-third of adults in the U.S. report experiencing a mental health condition or substance use disorder, yet less than half receive the treatment they need due to provider shortages, high costs, and gaps in coverage. Many individuals with behavioral health needs initially seek help in emergency departments or primary care settings, often leaving without proper treatment. To address this gap, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Making Care Primary (MCP) Model in 2023, focusing on innovative solutions in eight states. A key element of this initiative is the collaborative care model—a proven, evidence-based approach that integrates behavioral health into primary care to enhance access, outcomes, and patient satisfaction. Despite its strong track record, adoption remains limited due to reimbursement and scalability challenges. In the last episode of this season of Therapy Cafe, join host and Psych Hub co-founder Marjorie Morrison, LMFT, LPCC, and Dr. Caroline Carney, President of Behavioral Health and Chief Medical Officer at Magellan Health, as they explore the principles of integrated care, delve into the collaborative care model, and examine how measurement-informed care can drive better outcomes. This episode is a must-listen for therapists and mental health professionals interested in how they can be a part of the solution to streamline care delivery, improve patient outcomes, and expand their impact within integrated health systems. Key Learning Objectives: Describe the concept and benefits of integrated care Explain the collaborative care model, including the key providers required Examine the value of measurement-informed care If you'd like to obtain continuing education as a psychologist, counselor, social worker, or therapist you can purchase a one-year subscription to Psych Hub's training center.

In 2019, seeking to build generational wealth for their family, they ventured into real estate investing together. Unfortunately, working together building homes only revealed deeper cracks in their relationship.For years, Diana and Jon had mastered the art of avoiding their issues, believing that time alone could make things better. But as they faced repeated struggles, they felt stuck and unhappy—desperate for change. Determined to save their marriage, they took a courageous step back to examine their individual pasts to understand how it shaped who they were. Through self-awareness, understanding and open communication, they began to prioritize their own needs while learning how to work together effectively. They discovered a renewed sense of joy, intimacy, and fulfillment in their relationship that they had thought was lost. Their transformation was profound and life-changing, and it didn't take long for them to feel a calling to share their wisdom to help other couples.As relationship coaches, Diana and Jon, or DIJON, are dedicated to helping couples break free from unhealthy patterns, embrace vulnerability, and build stronger connections.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 12 AA session, Joe addresses the profound truth that recovery is not a solo journey. He shares the importance of companionship in the process, promising that although the road may be tough, no one has to walk it alone.“Have any of you been told you never have to feel this way again if you don't want to? How many of you found out you were lied to? You're going to feel worse, but you won't have to feel that way alone. And if you want to get well, I'll walk with you while you do.”Joe also reminds us that sometimes our message isn't received right away. If someone isn't ready to accept help, we may need to step back and let them experience their own struggles until they're ready. As Joe reflects, even during the darkest times, the words of recovery stay with us, waiting for the right moment to take root.For more content, please like, comment, and share.

Dr. Helen Sairany discusses the prevalence of burnout and trauma among pharmacists and the importance of addressing the root cause of trauma to lead to a path of healing. Summary Discussing the intersections of trauma, resilience, and identity, Helen Sairany, a pharmacist and author, explores the impact of childhood trauma on workplace functioning. Dr. Sairany discusses the prevalence of burnout and trauma among pharmacists and the need to address the root causes to ensure the well-being of the profession. In this beautiful and powerful conversation, Dr. Sairany emphasizes the importance of recognizing the depth of human experience beyond labels and embracing coexistence, tracing back beliefs to their origins to overcome financial conflicts, and addressing the root causes of trauma to build healthier relationships. About Today's Guest As a 7-year-old Kurdish child in Iraq, a country torn by war and conflict, Helen was spotted by a U.S. Marine deployed to her country with a grenade in her hand, who saved her life by exchanging the grenade for a bag of candy. He later escorted her family and her out of war to seek refuge in the U.S. Because of her turbulent childhood, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD in 2013. Thus, she aspire to live in a world where the vast majority are trauma-informed, feel psychologically safe and valued for the work they put out, and return home fulfilled. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic began, Helen have been open about her dormant childhood trauma. She have been traveling worldwide to give talks on topics such as trauma-informed care, leadership, and the workforce. After having traveled to more than 100 countries worldwide, she developed an appreciation for the diverse mix of cultures, people, and traditions.

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD explores the vital role of intimate connection, when navigating struggles couples commonly encounter in their sexual relationship, particularly after facing significant life challenges such as infertility and loss. Offering gentle, compassionate guidance, she describes effective methods to recreate emotional, sensual, and erotic intimacy. Dr. Alexandra discusses the challenges faced by couples when they experience disconnection during erotic intimacy. It often leads to functional sex rather than pleasure-driven passion. She emphasizes the importance of reconnecting from a starting point of comfort and familiarity, slowly rekindling passion through tender, patient, calibrated moments together. Also in this episode: Recognize the impact of life events, such as infertility treatments and personal loss, on a couple's sexual intimacy. Understand the significance of starting with small, comfortable steps to re-establish physical connection. Acknowledge that both partners have changed throughout the challenging life circumstances, in unique ways, and the importance of integrating new aspects into the relationship.
