TRANSCRIPT HERE   We're back to our regular programming with a fun debate between a future psychiatrist and a psychologist, as Michael Watson joins Steph to talk Stutz, the Netflix documentary “about” Dr Phil Stutz created by Jonah Hill. Steph & Michael discuss how the unique revolutionary techniques Stutz employs aren't quite so unique or revolutionary, and what Jonah was trying and succeeding to portray from this film. BUTTT OF COURSE within the context of the wild and gross texts that Jonah's ex Sarah Brady shared from the actor in July this year. What do the texts say about how effective the therapy portrayed in Stutz actually is? And what actually IS a boundary?    Special thanks to Laura Packer for sound editing

"It's in hearing the same stories over and over again that helps build bonds, not just in families, but in groups of friends. It's in whatever community you have that those legacies exist." --Laura Packer (storyteller, coach, real-time dreamer) Laura is preaching to the choir!!! This is exactly what the Sidetracked Sisters have been working on and talking about for years. In our interview, Laura and I talk about how it is the everyday stuff that is so important to capture when talking with loved ones and recording stories. We so often think about the big things in life, weddings, births, and jobs as important. Or we look to historical events as the big stories to record. But it's really the little things, the private and intimate happenings that bring that connection with others. We talk about some of our own stories and the people who inspire us. Laura shares suggestions for telling and recording a good story. She gets into how you can find your voice and deepen your creativity. Laura is in all the places on the web!

This week I am speaking to Laura Packer about experiencing and facing soul-crushing grief. We recorded this a few months before the one year anniversary of the loss of her soul-mate and husband Kevin. A date that just passed the week before this post went live. I first came across Laura’s writing when I read a post on her blog about what not to say to someone who is grieving. I began to follow her on her journey and I can't thank her enough for being so open to sharing her vulnerability, wisdom and love with me. Show notes: seanhoward.ca/12
