Today I'm having an on-air counseling session with Ian Crohn. You may have heard of him from his popular enneagram-focused podcast, but today you'll get to know him in a new way. In our conversation, today, we unpack his past history with alcoholism, what led him to that destructive place, as well as his journey to the point of relapse and then ultimate recovery. We also discuss where he is today, and what he's doing to stay healthy and free from the grip of alcohol in his life. It's a conversation filled with incredible insight and hard-fought wisdom. If you or someone you know has ever struggled with substance use, abuse, or addiction- this conversation is such a powerful, eye-opening conversation.  You can also ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠watch the full episode on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

What if your private practice could be a place where people stop trying to fix themselves—and start actually feeling what's going on inside?  In this powerful episode, Kerry Thomas pulls back the curtain on her 25-year journey in mental health, sharing how a personal wake-up call challenged everything she thought she knew about therapy, medication, and what it really means to heal. We talk about the connection between nutrition and mood, why numbing emotions isn't the answer, and how private practice therapists can stop pathologizing normal human experiences.  This one's honest, eye-opening, and a little bit rebellious—in the best way.

Why do some people experience same-sex attraction—and how should faithful Christians respond? In this episode of the Dr. J Show, clinical sexologist Floyd Godfrey draws on decades of experience counseling clients who experience same-sex attraction and want to live lives of chastity and integrity.   Dr. Godfrey discusses how trauma, emotional wounds, and unmet developmental needs can shape sexual desires. He explains the difference between a person's feelings and their identity, and how healing involves both psychological insight and spiritual maturity. Rather than pushing an agenda, he walks us through how real change happens—with honesty, accountability, and deep human connection.   This conversation pushes back on the cultural narrative that says "once gay, always gay," and raises serious questions about efforts to ban talk therapy for those who seek it. If you're a parent, pastor, counselor, or simply someone concerned about the truth and the well-being of others, you won't want to miss this important episode.   Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/   Have a question or a comment?

In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams is joined by Sue Bruckner, a licensed professional counselor and holistic relationship coach, for an open conversation centered on supporting highly sensitive women through the experience of divorce and significant life transitions. Sue draws from both her own story and years of professional experience to paint a nuanced picture of what it truly means to be highly sensitive. She highlights that this trait, which is present in about 20 to 30 percent of people, is not a diagnosis or a flaw, but a natural, biological characteristic. Sue uses the acronym DOES to illustrate the experience: deeply feeling emotions, frequent overstimulation, heightened emotional responsiveness and empathy, and a fine-tuned awareness of subtleties in both people and surroundings. These traits, she explains, bring real strengths but can also create unique challenges, especially when navigating the emotional turmoil of divorce.The conversation moves into practical territory as Sue describes how highly sensitive women are often drawn into patterns and relationships that echo their early life experiences, sometimes with partners who are less attuned or even emotionally distant. She underscores the importance of boundaries, both with others and with oneself, and how establishing them is tied not only to personal safety but also energy management and self-respect. Together, Sue and Mardi discuss the necessity of self-compassion, highlighting how learning to be kind to oneself is foundational for making positive shifts in your family, in the workplace, and in daily life.Sue introduces the importance of clarifying core values as a way to guide difficult decisions and maintain healthy boundaries. She shares about her core values inventory, adapted from her work with Brene Brown, which she offers as a gift to listeners wanting to step into a more aligned and empowered new chapter. Through their warm and reassuring exchange, Mardi and Sue remind listeners that while sensitivity can bring vulnerability, it is also a profound source of strength, especially when met with understanding, thoughtful support, and self-acceptance. Those seeking further support are encouraged to connect with Sue directly for more resources and personalized guidance, reinforcing the message that sensitive women do not have to navigate these transitions alone.About the Guest:Sue Bruckner, a Licensed Professional Counselor turned Holistic Relationship Coach, is the founder of With Intention, a transformative personal development company created specifically for sensitive women who experience life deeply and often find their depth undervalued in relationships.

What happens when you finally find an authentic marketing strategy that aligns with who you are? In today's episode, I chat with Liberated Business alumna, Brittney Scott, a therapist and mother-daughter relationship coach who completely transformed her approach to running her private practice.Brittney shares how she went from doing dancing videos on Instagram and letting clients dictate her fees to holding strong boundaries, raising her fees, and embracing a marketing strategy that aligns with her values and attracts her ideal clients. You'll hear about the approach she's using now (that she loves), how she dramatically raised her fees without losing income and how she's working fewer hours as a result.Most importantly, Brittney reveals how these shifts helped her become the kind of mom she wants to be - available for school pickup and fully present in her daughter's life. This conversation is a powerful example of what's possible when you run your business instead of letting it run you.More about Brittney Scott:Brittney Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor and mother daughter relationship coach. She works with women who have been hurt by their mothers in some way and want to heal from it and have relationships that aren't affected by that pain. Brittney is a military spouse currently living in California. She is also the eldest daughter and gets it!Topics covered in this episode: Brittney's journey of moving to California and losing 70% of her incomeThe different marketing strategies she tried but absolutely hatedHow she found an authentic approach that attracts ideal clientsThe importance of designing your private practice around being the parent you want to beThe mindset shift that helped her take back control of her businessWhy she was hesitant to invest in Liberated Business after other coaching experiencesThe value of a supportive community when making significant business changesConnect with Brittney Scott:Website: www.brittneymscott.comPodcast: Mother Daughter Relationship ShowInstagram: @theBrittneyScottThreads: @thebrittneyscottConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyResources from this episode:Liberated Business:

Valerie Montgomery: Undoing Generational Silence On this new season of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, is live in-studio with special guest Valerie Montgomery. Little bit about Valerie's story from her:  My father would not let us use the word “depressed” while I was growing up. Turns out, his mother, my grandmother, completed suicide shortly after I had my third baby. It had seemed so normal for her to be “miserable,” which my parents would couch as dramatic. I understand the family culture around mental illness from the inside, as a child and then a young adult. Short bio: Valerie Montgomery is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. As the middle child of two public school teachers, she became a military spouse which brought her to Colorado. Shortly after her youngest was 15 she realized her lifelong dream of going to Counseling school. She now operates her women-owned counseling business marketing to women, but working with adults who experienced less-than-nurturing parenting during their childhoods.

I know so many of us are working hard to write IEPs that are strengths-based and aligned with our values. This conversation will leave you inspired and more confident in doing just that. Destiny also shares such powerful insight about partnering with advocates. Instead of viewing them as adversaries, how can we team up and work toward shared goals?

Happy Satiated Saturday! Intuition has been fascinating for me. I first started getting into the mind-body connection through practicing and learning about yoga and yoga philosophy. In yoga classes, I would often hear teachers talking about trusting your intuition. To be guided by your intuition. But, what I rarely heard was descriptions of how do you know something is intuition. Is what you're feeling intuition or fear? The more I learned about somatic work, the more I started to question the experience of intuition and where it comes from. When I finally discovered that intuitive processes are correlated with the activation of a part of the prefrontal cortex, called the orbitofrontal cortex, and that this part of your brain is diminished in activity after experience childhood trauma, I began to piece together that intuition is not something that everyone may easily be able to tap into based on their history. In this week's episode, I chat with Katie Beecher, Licensed Professional Counselor and Medical and Emotional Intuitive, about: The difference between intuition and fearPractices to strengthen your intuitionThe healing power of movement and artEmbracing your sensitivitiesImportant factors to include in your food recovery journeyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/discover-your-inner-wisdomWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Katie: Website: https://katiebeecher.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiebeecher_medical_intuitive/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beechermedicalintuitiveSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

In this flashback episode, we're not just talking the talk; we're taking a deep dive into personal struggles both therapists and clients face, challenging the stigma around seeking mental health care and embracing our vulnerabilities.I talk with Sandtrice Russell as she opens up about the need for safe spaces and advocacy, particularly for the BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ communities.3 key themes:Vulnerability as a Bridge: Therapists' self-disclosure and openness about personal struggles can build rapport and trust, making it easier for clients to open up and be vulnerable in turn.Authenticity in Practice: Showcasing your true values and creating an accepting space for clients of all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA2+, Neurodivergent, and BIPOC individuals, is not just good practice—it's essential for safety and relatability.The Human Connection: Therapy is more than a checklist; it's about actual authentic human connection and openness to change. We must prioritize the rapport and right fit in the therapist-client relationship.Note from Sandtrice:I've been in the helping profession since 2004. I've been working in my respective field for over 18 years.

Content Sensitivity: This conversation refers to themes of suicide, overdose, and other content that some may find difficult to hear. Please use caution if this may be a trigger for you.  Today on the show I talk to Daniel, who is asking how he should know when it's time to consider depression medication. As Christians, we believe in prayer, we believe that God can heal us, and we believe that He is able to heal…so when do we make the choice to take medication to help us with our mental health struggles? What are the signs and symptoms to know it's time to consider the help of medicine? This is SUCH AN IMPORTANT conversation for the church at large…and for anyone who is battling depression and anxiety. Tune into this episode on when to take medication for depression and anxiety.

Today on the show, Alison talks to me about the fact that she finds herself saying “YES” to the needs and requests of others, when she really should be saying no, because she doesn't have the bandwidth or capacity to do it, and she finds herself bitter, burnout, and resentful. Why does she have this pattern and where does it come from? Today on Talk To Me, we dig deep and find out where this pattern started and the answer will surprise you as much it surprised her because it goes way back, farther than she ever expected.  You can also watch the full episode on YouTube.
