The paradox of human existence reveals itself most clearly in our relationship with change. Despite living on a planet where transformation is constant, where we ourselves evolve from infancy through adulthood and beyond, we resist letting go with surprising tenacity. This resistance often stems not from attachment to what we're holding, but fear of the unknown that follows release.Drawing from her books and personal experiences, Dr. Bethann explores the nuanced art of letting go through contemplative questions that help us understand our own resistance. "What am I gaining by holding on? Who would I be without this? What am I afraid will happen if I let this go?" These gentle inquiries create space for self-discovery without judgment, allowing us to recognize patterns that keep us clinging to what no longer serves us.Key talking points include: • We are hardwired for change yet naturally resist it out of fear of the unknown• Letting go happens in degrees - sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically• Questions like "What am I gaining by holding on?" can help us understand our resistance• Grief represents a unique form of letting go that follows its own timeline• When something dies within us through release, something new is always reborn• Trust the process of "unbecoming to become" as we shed old identities• Find joy in the unknown by remembering that love is the thread guiding us through changeReady to explore what might be waiting on the other side of release? This episode invites you to trust the process of "unbecoming to become" as you navigate your own journey of letting go. Share your experiences with release and transformation—what have you let go of that created space for something beautiful to enter your life?Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

In this illuminating exploration of Taurus season, we dive deep into the archetype of the Bull and discover how its fixed earth energy can transform our approach to life's challenges.Taurus invites us to plant our heels exactly where we are and nourish the seeds of what truly matters.

In this episode, Dr. Natalie explores the concept of negative thinking and its impact on our lives. She discusses the neurobiology behind negative thinking and how it can become a pattern that affects our perception of reality. Dr. Natalie also explains the role of cognitive bias in reinforcing negative thinking and the addictive nature of having a negative mindset. That's right, some of us literally become addicted to thinking this way. She offers practical strategies, such as mindfulness, meditation, movement, and other pattern interruptions, in an effort to break the cycle of negative thinking and build resilience. By understanding the power of belief and training the brain, we can overcome negative thinking and create a mindset that will serve us better than staying trapped in our own pessimism.Takeaways- Negative thinking can become a pattern that affects our perception of reality.- Cognitive bias reinforces negative thinking and can be addictive.- Practicing mindfulness and meditation can help break the cycle of negative thinking.- Training the brain through regular mindfulness practice can build resilience and promote a more positive mindset.Chapters:01:16 Understanding Negative Thinking03:25 Breaking the Cycle of Negative Thinking05:39 Cognitive Bias and Negative Thinking07:38 The Role of Cognitive Bias08:35 The Addictive Nature of Negative Thinking09:29 The Power of Belief10:29 Training the Brain11:46 The Role of the Nervous System13:39 Practicing Mindfulness and Meditation16:23 Building the BridgeDISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and video is not a replacement for therapy and is not clinical, medical, or mental health treatment.

Have you ever found yourself caught in the web of overthinking, unsure whether to take action or wait for clarity? The dance between trusting your intuition and knowing when to move forward is perhaps one of life's most nuanced spiritual skills.Drawing wisdom from the Akashic Records and her book "Small Pearls, Big Wisdom," Dr. BethAnne Kapansky-Wright illuminates the delicate balance between yin and yang energies. When we feel stuck in mental gymnastics or find ourselves spinning in circles without resolution, it's often a sign we need to shift from forcing to allowing. Through practical self-reflection questions and nature-inspired wisdom, this episode offers gentle guidance for recognizing when you're expending energy unnecessarily and how to gather your energy inward instead. The comforting message? If you miss an opportunity the first time, it will come back around—perhaps in an even better form when you're more prepared to receive it.Key talking points include:• The Akashic Records message about "changing patterns" and how zigzagging like birds in flight can actually be perfectly aligned movement• Finding equilibrium between yin and yang energies – knowing when to push and when to allow• How to recognize when you're expending energy without results and need to shift your approach• Self-reflection questions to help determine if you should move or wait• Learning from nature's wisdom about trusting cycles and resilienceThis soulful exploration reminds us that we're never alone in our journey. We have countless resources beyond ourselves—spiritual guides, nature's wisdom, and the rhythms of life itself—supporting us when we open to receive. As we learn to trust the innate intelligence within, we discover that "the river always finds its way."Join us next week as we explore the archetype of Taurus and how Taurus energy can inspire and ground us as we enter Taurus season.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

First aired on "Life Sucks Now What" April 4, 2024In this podcast episode, Dr. Natalie addresses the question of why some people feel stuck in relationships that do not serve them. She explains that there can be a dysregulation in the nervous system that keeps individuals trapped in these relationships. She emphasizes that it is not always a result of anxious or avoidant attachment or low self-worth. Dr. Natalie discusses the impact of past traumatic experiences on relationships and highlights the importance of resiliency and available resources. She also explores how early life experiences shape our patterns of behavior and responses to conflict. Dr. Natalie suggests that therapy can help individuals rebuild neural networks and develop healthier relationship patterns.Takeaways:- Feeling stuck in relationships that do not serve us can be a result of a dysregulation in the nervous system.- Traumatic experiences can impact our ability to form healthy relationships.- Resiliency and available resources play a crucial role in how we respond to traumatic events.- Early life experiences shape our patterns of behavior and responses to conflict.- Therapy can help individuals rebuild neural networks and develop healthier relationship patterns.Keywords: Negative people, Psychological dynamics, Attracting negativity, Positive mindset, Breaking free from negativity, Understanding relationships, Psychological underpinnings, Dr. Natalie Marr, Life Sucks, Now What?!?, Personal growth, toxic relationships, how to set boundaries, self-care, self-respectVisit us at LearnToLoveYourStory.com⁠ (https://LearnToLoveYourStory.com⁠) DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and video is not a replacement for therapy and is not clinical, medical, or mental health treatment.

In this flashback episode, I talk with Dr. Angela Koivula, psychologist and adjunct instructor at the University of Florida, about the complexities of navigating financial realities in the mental health profession and its impact on career decisions.Key Takeaways:Financial Planning & Sustainability: Many therapists face significant challenges in planning for retirement due to a lack of resources and knowledge about financial management in the mental health field. The constant need for marketing and client acquisition adds to the financial pressure, making self-care days seem like a luxury.Private Practice Realities vs. Perceptions: The perceived glamour in private practice marketing often hides the tough realities. Many professionals feel conflicted between their values and the demands of running a successful practice. Angela shares her journey of shifting focus during the pandemic, finding lucrative contract work, and educating herself on financial independence to secure a more stable career path.Systemic Issues & Solutions: The mental health profession is fraught with systemic issues like high student debt and low entry-level wages, making the field unsustainable for many. Angela argues for the need to re-evaluate career paths, customize work schedules for better work-life balance, and prioritize debt reduction for true financial freedom.More about Angela:Dr. Angela Koivula, Ph.D. (she/they) is a Licensed Psychologist with over 15 years experience in the field of mental health serving individuals, couples, and groups as well as active and retired military personnel and wellness industries.

Transformation is calling—are you listening? Dr. BethAnne Kapansky-Wright guides us through the sacred art of metamorphosis, revealing why change isn't just inevitable but necessary for our souls' evolution.Why do we resist changing shapes when our hearts desperately want to expand? Dr. BethAnne uncovers the sneaky ways resistance manifests—not just in our obvious desires to maintain the status quo, but in the harsh self-judgment we inflict when we don't "adapt properly" to life's transitions. This internal criticism creates invisible barriers to the very transformations trying to unfold within us.Drawing wisdom from her book "Small Pearl's Big Wisdom," she reminds us that "a person could live in a square hole their entire life and never realize they were meant to be round." Our questions aren't failures—they're invitations. Our discontent isn't wrong—it's an opportunity to discover who we're becoming. As the Akashic Records described 2025 as "the year of remapping peace," we're collectively learning to rewire neural pathways and find equilibrium amid constant change.Key talking points include: • Understanding that our resistance to change often manifests as harsh self-judgment or criticism• Viewing our questions and discontent as invitations for growth rather than problems to solve• Learning to "change shapes" rather than forcing ourselves to stay in old patterns• Approaching transformation with curiosity and compassion instead of fear• Using visualization to invite grace – that "golden energy" that softens difficult transitions• Finding anchors in our core values while trusting the unknown aspects of our journey• Remembering that our future self is already reaching back to us with compassionWith gentle wisdom and poetic insights, Dr. Bethann invites you to keep your heart open to change rather than closing down in fear. The stardust running through your veins contains all the wisdom you need—you just need to trust the process and allow yourself to become the new shape your soul is calling you toward.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Words have always been my most reliable source of magic. In celebration of National Poetry Month, I'm diving into the transformative power of writing as both a creative practice and spiritual discipline that helps us navigate life's complexities.  The journey begins with exploring how poetry becomes an accessible gateway for authentic self-expression. When we struggle to tell our complete stories or make sense of complex emotions, poetry offers a container for those fragments – capturing moments of insight, mystical connections with nature, or emotional truths in just a few carefully chosen lines. Through writing, we transform raw experiences into something meaningful, creating an alchemy that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary revelations.Key talking points include:   • Writing as alchemy - transforming experiences into wisdom and feelings into language • Poetry as an accessible first form that captures fragments of feelings before the full narrative emerges • Using writing to observe rather than react to life experiences • Creating "word magic" by finding beauty in ordinary moments through descriptive language • Writing about the world we wish to see as an antidote to hopelessness • Holding space for positivity even during challenging times • Respecting the natural cycles of creativity - expansion and contraction • Trusting that creative inspiration will return during quiet periods  This April, take a moment to reconnect with the writer within you. Whether through poetry, journaling, or simple intentions, allow your words to create magic in your life and in the world around you.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.  --  Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

What happens when inspiration doesn't strike but you still need to show up? Is it possible to live an inspired life without constantly chasing big, bold visions?Most of us think of inspiration as dramatic flashes of insight or overwhelming passion that propels us toward magnificent achievements. But this narrow definition leaves most of our lives—and many types of people—out of the "inspired" category. In this illuminating episode, I challenge this limited view and introduce a three-dimensional framework that makes inspiration accessible to everyone, regardless of circumstance.We dive deep into the multidimensional concept of inspiration and explore how to find it even when we don't feel particularly animated or resonant. • Inspiration isn't just grand epiphanies but exists on three levels: macro, meso, and micro• Macro inspiration refers to big visions, life purpose, and seeing your journey from a higher perspective• Meso inspiration involves breaking down big goals into steps and finding motivation for monthly focuses• Micro inspiration centers on finding magic in day-to-day moments, even when not working toward big goals• The heart serves as a gateway to soul wisdom and helps us move past fear to follow inspired paths• Barriers to inspiration are opportunities to pause, reflect, and perhaps approach our goals differently• True inspiration involves showing up consistently, taking small measurable steps, and seeing yourself as the hero of your own storyWhether you're feeling creatively blocked, between major life purposes, or simply wanting to experience more aliveness in ordinary moments, this episode offers practical wisdom for rekindling your inner spark and recognizing the inspiration that's already present in your life.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

And if not, what will you do about it? This season challenges us to stop arguing for our limitations and instead knock them down. Whether you're contemplating a major life change or simply trying something new, Aries energy supports taking action aligned with your heart's wisdom. Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Studies show that students who have a positive outlook on their lives outperform students who don't. Is positive thinking a skill? Can it be taught? Our article is: “Teaching Positive Psychology Skills at school may be one way to help student mental health and happiness,” by Dr. Kai Zhuang Shum, published in The Conversation, which explores how the components of happiness and connection can be applied to classroom settings around the world. Amid the reduced access to mental health services for many students, and the rising rates of student stress and depression, researchers are finding that positive psychology interventions make a real difference. “Students who've been introduced to science-based ideas about happiness,” Dr. Shum writes, “feel more satisfied with life.” She joins us for this episode to explain more.

This episode first aired on January 9, 2023.One of the many drawbacks of being a woman with human giver syndrome (Burnout 2020) is that we so often become an object in our lives instead the subject of it. In other words, we feel powerless to effect change and start to become more and more resigned to the life we have even when it is not one that is bringing us joy and contentment. In order to change this, we first must change our approach. We must learn how to have agency. To be the doer of things in our lives and not the people that things are done to. Take a listen and learn more about this key component to designing the lives we want to be living.Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle Paperback – March 26, 2019 by Emily Nagoski (Author), Amelia Nagoski (Author)Visit us at⁠ LearnToLoveYourStory.com⁠ ⁠DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and video is not a replacement for therapy and is not clinical, medical, or mental health treatment.

A few moments after birth we begin to use our lungs for the first time. From then on, we must continue breathing for as long as we are alive. And although this mostly happens unconsciously, in a society plagued by anxiety, climate change, environmental racism, and illness, there are more and more instances that “teach us about the privilege that is breathing.” Why do we so easily forget the air that we breathe in common? What does it mean to breathe when the environment that sustains life now threatens it? And how can life continue to flourish under conditions that are increasingly toxic?  To approach these questions, Jamieson Webster draws on psychoanalytic theory and reflects on her own experiences as an asthmatic teenager, a deep-sea diver, a palliative psychologist during COVID, a psychoanalyst attentive to the somatic, and a new mother. The result is a compassionate and timely exploration of air and breathing as a way to undo the pervasive myth of the individual by considering our dependence on invisible systems, on one another, and the way we have violently neglected this important aspect of life. Jamieson Webster is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City and faculty at The New School for Social Research. She is the author, most recently, of On Breathing (Peninusula Press, UK; Catapult, US), as well as, Conversion Disorder: Listening to the Body in Psychoanalysis (Columbia, 2018) and, with Simon Critchley, Stay, Illusion! The Hamlet Doctrine (Vintage Random House, 2013). She has written regularly for Artforum, The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, as well as, many psychoanalytic publications.
