Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever wondered how people find the strength to keep going after life completely changes, this episode is for you. Today, Maria sits down with Kelly Rizzo…multimedia personality, founder of Eat Travel Rock, and host of the Comfort Food podcast. Many of you may also know Kelly as the wife of the late Bob Saget, the beloved comedian and Full House icon who passed away unexpectedly in 2022.What started as a conversation about coffee (yes, Maria and Kelly compare their favorite coffee orders!) quickly turned into a powerful discussion about purpose, love, resilience, and what happens when life doesn't go according to plan. Before Kelly became a voice for people navigating grief, she was rebuilding her own life… spending more than a decade chasing her passions for food, travel, and music—often questioning whether she should keep going. Kelly shares why success isn't about followers, fame, or going viral. It's about passion, consistency, patience, and building something meaningful one step at a time. Then we get into the love story. Kelly shares how Bob first slid into her DMs, why she initially resisted dating him, and how he spent four nights winning over not just her—but her entire friend group. In classic Bob fashion, he even brought John Mayer along on one of their early dates to help give Kelly the official stamp of approval. It's funny, sweet, unexpected, and a side of Bob that most people never got to see. Kelly also opens up about the relationship they built together, why she believes Bob had finally found the love he had been searching for, and the moments that made their marriage so special. And just before we pause for Part 2, Kelly shares the beginning of the story that changed everything—the final night she spoke to Bob, an eerie connection to an episode of And Just Like That, and the feeling that something wasn't quite right. We'll leave it there for now. But in all honesty, this is a beautiful conversation about taking chances on love, trusting your path, and remembering what truly matters. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS When Life Falls Apart, A New Life Begins: Kelly never planned to become a voice for people navigating grief. But her story is proof that sometimes the biggest detours end up leading us exactly where we're supposed to go. Slow Growth Builds Lasting Success: Kelly spent more than a decade creating content, chasing opportunities, and trusting her passions without any guarantee it would pay off. Her story is a reminder that meaningful success is usually built slowly, one consistent step at a time. The Right Person May Not Be Who You Expected: Kelly never imagined she'd end up falling in love with Bob Saget. Their story is a reminder that love doesn't always fit the picture we've created in our minds—and sometimes the greatest relationships begin when we stop trying to control the outcome.

What if manifestation wasn't about working harder... but about playing more? In this inspiring conversation, Jen sits down with scientist, author, and energy healer Dr Maria Inglesby to explore the connection between energy, abundance, intuition, and manifestation. Maria shares how a background in science eventually led her to question everything she thought she knew about reality, opening the door to a deeper understanding of energy and conscious creation. Together they discuss why we often manifest other people's beliefs instead of our own desires, how feeling states shape our reality, and why playfulness may be one of the most overlooked manifestation tools available. If you've ever felt stuck, disconnected from your intuition, or frustrated that manifestation isn't working the way you hoped, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to reconnect with your own inner guidance and create from a place of joy. In This Episode We Discuss: Why manifestation begins with questioning the rules The difference between manifestation and materialization How your feelings influence what you attract Why focusing on lack creates more lack Simple exercises to shift into abundance The importance of self-appreciation in manifestation Learning to trust your inner compass How playfulness opens the door to new possibilities Why intuition may be protecting and guiding you Becoming the guardian of your own thoughts and energy Connect with Maria

Don't Let Their Affair Cost You Twice-How to Avoid the Legal, Emotional, and Practical Mistakes That Can Come Back to Bite You After infidelity, it's easy to make decisions from shock, fear, anger, and survival mode. But some of the choices you make in the days and weeks after discovery can create a second wave of pain—legally, emotionally, financially, and relationally. In this episode, betrayal recovery expert and attorney Lora Cheadle shares the biggest mistakes betrayed partners make after infidelity, from stalking and social media blowups to using children as investigators, obsessively searching for answers, and managing a partner's recovery. Most importantly, she explains how to protect your future self while navigating one of life's most devastating experiences. If you've been betrayed and don't know what to do next, this episode will help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and avoid letting the affair cost you twice. Top 3 Takeaways Your First Job Isn't Deciding Whether to Stay or Leave When betrayal is discovered, your brain immediately wants certainty, answers, and relief. But your first responsibility isn't making life-changing decisions—it's protecting yourself from decisions made in a shocked, terrified, and traumatized state. The Biggest Mistake Isn't What They Did—It's Abandoning Yourself The deepest trap after betrayal is becoming consumed by your partner's actions, recovery, and choices while neglecting your own healing. Recovery begins when you stop obsessing about them and start rebuilding trust in yourself. Don't Let the Affair Cost You Twice The affair is painful enough. Don't create a second wave of damage through impulsive legal, financial, social media, or emotional decisions made from survival mode. Before you act, ask yourself: Will this help me six months from now, or is it helping me feel better for six minutes? Favorite Quotes "The biggest mistake is abandoning yourself while trying to figure out what they're doing."

Most attorneys don't lack ambition. They're drowning in small, unresolved issues that quietly drain their energy, focus, and peace of mind. The overflowing inbox. The postponed difficult conversation. The underperforming team member. The health goals that never happen. Individually they seem minor, but together they create constant overwhelm. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley talks with Mark Powers, founder of Atticus, about a powerful yet simple solution: eliminating your "tolerations." Discover why overwhelm comes less from having too much to do and more from tolerating things below your standards, and learn practical ways to remove hidden drains so you can regain clarity, energy, and control. If you're a driven attorney who feels stuck or overwhelmed despite working hard, this episode shows you how removing what's draining you is often the fastest path to a great practice and a great life. ___________ In this episode, you will hear: A clear way to identify the hidden tolerations draining your practice and personal life Why naming a problem is often the most powerful first step Practical strategies to eliminate what's weighing you down The powerful connection between raising your standards and increasing your success When to eliminate, delegate, or consciously accept a toleration ___________ Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

What Are You Under the Influence Of? How Fear, Trauma & Other People's Opinions Keep You Stuck After Betrayal After betrayal, everyone seems to have advice. Leave. Stay. Fight for your marriage. Run. Forgive. Never trust again. But when your nervous system is overwhelmed, it's easy to absorb other people's certainty instead of listening to your own truth. In this episode, Lora explores how betrayal trauma increases suggestibility, why fear spreads so quickly, and how to reclaim your ability to think clearly, trust yourself, and make decisions from wisdom rather than panic. Drawing from her experience as an attorney, clinical hypnotherapist, and betrayal recovery coach, Lora explains why knowledge reduces fear, how hypnosis can help break the trance of trauma, and why discernment—not certainty—is the real path to healing. If you've ever wondered whether you're making decisions based on your own truth or someone else's story, this episode is for you. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal Trauma Makes You More Suggestible. When your nervous system is overwhelmed, your brain naturally seeks certainty. That's why it's easy to absorb other people's opinions, fears, and experiences instead of trusting yourself. Discernment Is Different Than Fear. Fear demands immediate answers. Discernment allows reality to reveal itself over time. Healing isn't about becoming hypervigilant—it's about staying connected to yourself while the truth unfolds. Knowledge Creates Calm. Understanding your legal, financial, emotional, and relational options doesn't force a decision. It reduces fear, increases clarity, and helps you make choices from a place of confidence rather than panic. Favorite Quotes "When we're desperate for certainty, we start borrowing certainty from other people." "Discernment is the ability to stay connected to yourself while reality reveals itself." "Fear shrinks your world. Knowledge expands it." "Healing isn't about becoming fearless. It's about learning how to hear yourself again underneath the noise." LOVE THE SHOW?

If your income vanished tomorrow, would you intentionally recreate the life you're living right now? That's not just a thought experiment... it's the ultimate test of your self-sovereignty.  Too many high-achieving moms are stuck in the "rat race" of circumstance, trading their most precious asset - time - for a version of success that doesn't actually make them feel alive. That's why I'm taking you back to the moment the rug was pulled out from under me, and I had to decide: keep chasing a career, or build my own brand of Money Making Magic that actually funds my freedom.  We are crushing the "this or that" lie. You don't have to choose between financial abundance and fulfillment. You get to choose both.  Push play, let's recalibrate, and let's design a reality you are obsessed with waking up to.   PS. Let's align your inner world with the life you truly want

Will I Ever Feel Normal Again After Betrayal? One of the most common questions women ask after betrayal is: “Will I ever feel like myself again?” Because betrayal trauma and infidelity don't just break your heart — they disrupt your nervous system, your identity, your sense of safety, your routines, and even your perception of reality. In this honest and deeply grounding episode, Lora shares what healing after betrayal actually looks like — not the polished Instagram version, but the real, nuanced, nonlinear truth of nervous system recovery, emotional healing, and rebuilding self-trust after infidelity. She explores: why betrayal feels so destabilizing what trauma does to the brain and body why healing is quieter and more subtle than most people expect the real signs you're healing how to stop losing yourself in someone else's healing why peace eventually matters more than certainty what it truly means to stay true to yourself after betrayal This episode is compassionate, practical, validating, and full of the kind of honest insight women desperately need when they wonder if they'll ever feel okay again. Top 3 Takeaways Healing after betrayal is not about “never being triggered again” — it's about building the capacity to feel, regulate, recover, and stay connected to yourself. One of the biggest signs of healing is when betrayal stops being the center of your identity and you begin caring about your future again. Real healing is often quiet and gradual: sleeping through the night, laughing unexpectedly, trusting yourself faster, and choosing peace over constant certainty.

Why Marriage Counseling Can Backfire After Infidelity After betrayal, almost everyone says the same thing: “You two need counseling.” But what if rushing into couples therapy immediately after infidelity is actually making things worse? In this deeply honest and eye-opening episode, Lora Cheadle shares why betrayal is not simply a marriage problem — it's a nervous system injury, an identity crisis, and a reality-shattering trauma that requires stabilization before relationship repair. Drawing from her own experience recovering after her husband's multiple affairs, Lora explains why so many betrayed partners leave counseling feeling blamed, overwhelmed, emotionally flooded, or even more disconnected from themselves. She explores the “assumption trap” that infidelity is caused by relationship problems, why traditional couples counseling can unintentionally backfire early on, and what healing-focused support should actually prioritize first. This episode is not anti-therapy and it's not anti-marriage. It's a compassionate, trauma-informed conversation about why healing begins with you — your safety, your nervous system, your clarity, and your self-trust. If you've been betrayed and feel confused, pressured, dysregulated, or like you've completely lost yourself, this episode will help you understand why. Top 3 Takeaways Infidelity is not just a marriage problem. Betrayal shatters your sense of reality, identity, trust, and nervous system safety. Before working on the relationship, the betrayed partner often needs stabilization, orientation, and emotional safety first. Traditional couples counseling can unintentionally backfire early on. When therapy focuses too quickly on “relationship dynamics,” many betrayed partners leave feeling blamed, self-monitoring, emotionally flooded, or pressured to fix the relationship before their own trauma has been addressed. Healing starts with rebuilding yourself — not rushing decisions. Before deciding whether to stay, leave, forgive, reconcile, or rebuild the marriage, it's essential to regulate the nervous system, reconnect with self-trust, and create clarity from a grounded place instead of survival mode. Favorite Quotes “Infidelity is not a marriage problem. It is an individual's problem.” “People cheat because they can't meet their own needs.” “Marriage counseling assumes two regulated adults discussing relationship dynamics.” “Betrayal involves one deeply dysregulated person trying to survive the collapse of their reality.” “It's not about pretending everything is okay. It's about rebuilding you and your truth.” “When you're bleeding out, you stop the blood flow first.” “You don't need to rush your healing. But you do need LOVE THE SHOW?

Liz Long didn't set out to become a full-time traveler. After graduating college and starting a publishing career in Boston, she found herself burned out, anxious, and questioning the version of success she had been chasing. What started with pet sitting and budget travel eventually turned into a lifestyle built around freedom, wellness, meaningful relationships, and intentional living. Since then, Liz has traveled across more than 25 countries while finding creative ways to make long-term travel financially sustainable. In this episode, we talk about the realities of solo travel, loneliness, money, community, wellness, and what it actually takes to build a life you genuinely love instead of waiting for “someday.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/globetrotters-podcast--5023679/support.

Guest After 11 years at IBM, Brooke Erol left a "great job on paper" to pursue a more aligned, purpose-driven life. She founded Your Best Life Inc. to help professionals find meaning at work, and later Purposeful Business to support leaders in building people-centered organizations. She is the author of More Than A Paycheck and Create a Life You Love, and speaks globally on leadership and purposeful work. Summary In this conversation, career coach and author Brooke Erol explores the changing nature of work, fulfillment, and identity in an era shaped by burnout, layoffs, and artificial intelligence. Drawing from her own experience at IBM, she reflects on realizing early in her career that many people were "chasing the weekend" rather than finding meaning in their work. That realization eventually led her to write More Than a Paycheck, a guide designed to help individuals develop greater self-awareness and agency in their careers. Brooke argues that self-awareness is foundational to meaningful work, yet modern life leaves little room for reflection. She encourages people to intentionally create time to examine what energizes them, what no longer serves them, and which limiting beliefs may be shaping their choices. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes that traditional career formulas—go to college, get a corporate job, retire happily—are no longer reliable in today's unstable job market. The conversation also examines the disruptive impact of AI, especially on younger workers and recent graduates, while highlighting the growing value of trade and skilled labor careers. Brooke encourages people to remain adaptable, continuously learn new skills, and consider side projects or entrepreneurial paths alongside traditional employment. The discussion closes with reflections on retirement, purpose, and identity. Brooke and Jeff agree that fulfillment comes not from stopping work entirely, but from continuing to contribute, learn, connect, and pursue activities that make life meaningful. The Essential Point Brooke's central message is that people must take greater ownership of their careers and lives by developing self-awareness, questioning inherited assumptions about work, and intentionally pursuing work that aligns with who they are. She also stresses that fulfillment and purpose are not luxuries reserved for retirement—they are essential parts of a healthy, sustainable life at every stage.

Healing Betrayal Trauma: EMDR, IFS & the Real Reasons People Cheat Infidelity doesn't happen in a vacuum. And healing after betrayal isn't just about “getting over it” or learning to trust again. In this deeply compassionate and eye-opening conversation, Lora sits down with marriage and sex therapist Todd Creager to explore the real roots of infidelity, betrayal trauma, emotional safety, and lasting healing. Together, they unpack how childhood wounds, attachment injuries, shame, hypervigilance, and nervous system survival patterns shape both betrayal and recovery. You'll also learn how EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help both betrayed partners and betrayers process trauma safely, understand their protective patterns, and move toward genuine healing and connection. This episode is not about excusing betrayal. It's about understanding it deeply enough to heal. Whether you stay or leave, this conversation will help you stop personalizing the betrayal, understand your own patterns more compassionately, and move toward clarity, safety, and self-trust. Top 3 Takeaways Infidelity is often connected to unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, and protective survival patterns that began long before the relationship. EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help both partners process betrayal trauma, regulate the nervous system, and heal emotional wounds safely. Healing after infidelity isn't about rushing back into trust — it's about rebuilding emotional safety, understanding protective patterns, and creating real change over time. Favorite Quotes “You don't just cheat. It doesn't happen in a vacuum.” “Life is generous. It helps us wake up to the parts of ourselves we didn't know how to love before.” “Healing is not about forcing trust. It's about becoming safe again.” What You'll Learn: Why people cheat • Betrayal trauma and nervous system healing • How EMDR works after infidelity • What Internal Family Systems (IFS) actually means • Why hypervigilance after betrayal is normal • Childhood trauma and adult relationships • Why betrayed partners stay • Rebuilding trust safely • Emotional safety after infidelity • Processing trauma without retraumatizing yourself • The difference between understanding behavior and excusing it • Why healing takes time — even in healthy reconciliation About Todd Todd Creager is an experienced relationship therapist and sex expert specializing in couples counseling, marriage and intimacy.  From healing from trauma through EMDR therapy, to overcoming infidelity Todd has helped countless couples overcome the issues that they face – increasing their connection and communication.  Todd provides a variety of services and methods – from routine relationship therapy sessions to couples retreats and counseling relating to sex addiction and toxic relationships.  It's important to find working solutions for each individual couple.

Why Being the “Good Girl” Keeps You Stuck After Betrayal (The Hidden Cost No One Talks About) If you've been trying to handle betrayal “the right way”—staying calm, being understanding, holding everything together—this episode will change how you see your healing. Because the truth is, the women who stay stuck the longest after infidelity aren't the ones who fall apart… They're the ones who stay kind, capable, and in control. In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle breaks down the hidden cost of being the “good girl” after betrayal—and how empathy, emotional intelligence, and over-functioning can quietly lead to self-abandonment. You'll learn how fawning shows up as a nervous system response, why the “assumption trap” keeps you focused on fixing your partner or your marriage, and how to reclaim your clarity, voice, and power—without losing your softness. Top 3 Takeaways Being “good” can keep you stuck Your kindness, patience, and ability to hold everything together are strengths—but when they override your truth, they lead to confusion, indecision, and self-abandonment. Fawning is not love—it's a survival response Smoothing things over, managing emotions, and avoiding conflict may feel like care, but they're often rooted in conditioning and nervous system patterns that keep you disconnected from yourself. You're not the problem—but you are the point of power You didn't cause the betrayal. But your clarity, boundaries, and self-trust determine what happens next. Pull Quotes “Fawning looks like kindness… but it's actually self-abandonment.” Who This Episode Is For This episode is for you if: You've been trying to “handle this well” instead of expressing how you really feel You tend to over-function, over-give, or take responsibility for others' emotions You feel stuck in indecision after betrayal You're not sure whether to stay or leave—but you know something has to change LOVE THE SHOW?

Jason and Lauren Vallotton sit down with their friend McKenzie Gibson, a labor and delivery nurse, to talk about something that doesn't get discussed nearly enough: how to prepare not just for marriage, but for a full and meaningful life. In a culture that often treats singleness like a waiting room, McKenzie shares how she's built a life marked by deep friendship, intentionality, hospitality, and purpose through her 20s and 30s.The conversation dives into the realities of burnout, nervous system overload, and the emotional toll of high-intensity work. McKenzie opens up about recognizing her limits, stepping into a sabbatical season, and why rest can sometimes be one of the wisest choices we make rather than a sign of failure. Together, they explore the importance of building rhythms that sustain your mental, emotional, and spiritual health long before marriage or parenting enters the picture.Jason, Lauren, and McKenzie also unpack the challenges many single adults feel inside marriage-centered communities and how to resist shrinking yourself while waiting for the next season. They talk about friendship as a calling, learning through proximity to healthy families, the power of intergenerational relationships, and why true hospitality is more about making room for people than creating a perfect environment.In this episode: • why preparing for a meaningful life matters as much as preparing for marriage • recognizing burnout, nervous system overload, and emotional exhaustion • how sabbaticals and rest can be acts of wisdom rather than quitting • friendship as purpose, not just convenience • learning about marriage and parenting through close community • what real hospitality looks like beyond hosting dinners • navigating singleness in a marriage-focused culture • building relationships across different ages and stages of life • practical ways to create deeper community and connection • why availability, feedback, and intentional presence matter so muchWhether you're single, dating, married, parenting, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers practical wisdom for building a life filled with healthy relationships, purpose, and connection.Share this episode with a friend, leave a review if it encouraged you, and let us know: what part of building a life you love feels hardest right now?PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?

Why Betrayal Makes it Feel Like Your Whole Life Was a Lie What if the most painful part of betrayal isn't what happened—but what it reveals? In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle explores why betrayal feels like your whole life was a lie—not because every moment was fake, but because the map you were using to navigate life no longer works. From childhood beliefs about love, goodness, and fairness to the harsh awakening that life isn't always transactional, this conversation unpacks the deeper grief beneath betrayal: the collapse of your worldview, your identity, and your sense of safety. Through personal stories, grounded insight, and powerful metaphors—from The Matrix to navigating a foreign country without a map—Lora helps you understand why you feel so disoriented… and how to begin building a new reality rooted in truth, self-trust, and clarity. If you've ever thought: “I don't know who I am anymore” “Nothing feels real” “How could I not have seen this?” “What do I do now?” This episode will help you make sense of what you're feeling—and show you the path forward. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal doesn't just break your heart—it breaks your worldview. The deepest pain isn't just what happened. It's realizing the rules you believed in—love, loyalty, fairness—don't guarantee the outcomes you expected. You're not crazy—you're disoriented. After betrayal, your mind is trying to make sense of a reality that no longer matches your internal map. That confusion, panic, and second-guessing are normal responses to a shattered belief system. Healing isn't about going back—it's about building a new map. The goal isn't to restore your old life or beliefs. It's to create a new foundation based on truth, self-trust, and the ability to navigate life as it actually is. Pull Quotes “Betrayal is not just the loss of a relationship.

Hi my loves

Why Betrayal Lives in the Body: The Missing Piece of Healing After Infidelity What if the hardest part of betrayal isn't just what happened—but what your body is still carrying because of it? In this powerful conversation, Lora sits down with somatic educator and healer Aimee Takaya to explore the connection between betrayal, trauma, tension, and the body. Together, they unpack why betrayal lives in the nervous system, why talking about it is not always enough, and how unresolved pain can keep showing up as anxiety, hypervigilance, rage, tightness, exhaustion, and even chronic pain. Aimee shares her own story of betrayal in marriage, what healing actually looked like for her and her husband, and why somatic work can be the missing piece when you feel stuck in your healing. If you have ever wondered why you still feel activated even when you “know better,” this conversation will help you understand what your body is trying to tell you—and how to finally begin letting it go. Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal is not just emotional—it becomes physical. Your body stores tension, fear, hypervigilance, and pain long after the event itself is over. Healing is not about “getting over it” as quickly as possible. It is a process of creating enough safety in your body to release what has been held for years—or even generations. Somatic work can help you listen with “new ears,” soften your nervous system, strengthen your boundaries, and stop reacting from old patterns of fear and pain. Pull Quotes “Betrayal is not just something that happens to your heart. It happens to your body, your nervous system, your sense of safety, and your ability to trust yourself.” About Aimee Takaya Aimee Takaya is a Certified Hanna Somatic Educator, Somatic Yoga Teacher, Podcaster and Transformation Facilitator. She has been professionally teaching movement and working with a wide range of bodies and challenges for over 14 years.  She loves to help you connect your body and ALL its messages in new and empowering ways. Aimee knows from personal experience the power of compassionate somatic practice to heal from chronic pain and adverse life experiences. She works with clients in person, in the Western New York area, as well as internationally through zoom. She also creates somatic, bodywork-based retreats where you can deepen your self-trust & connection. to truly let go of what binds you.

Infidelity, Trauma & the Nervous System: Why Healing Is So Complex (and What Actually Works) Infidelity is rarely simple—and healing from it isn't either. In this grounded, deeply human conversation, Lora sits down with trauma therapist Dr. Monique Thompson to explore the real complexity behind betrayal, relationships, and recovery. This is not a conversation about quick fixes, blame, or black-and-white answers. It's about understanding what's actually happening beneath the surface—neurologically, emotionally, and relationally. Together, they unpack how trauma lives in the body, why you can look “fine” while your nervous system is in distress, and how early experiences—even preverbal ones—shape the way we connect, react, and make decisions in relationships. They also explore the truth about infidelity: it's not always clear-cut, it's not always intentional in the way we think, and it's never just about the moment it happened. Betrayal often uncovers deeper layers—identity, attachment, self-worth, and long-standing patterns that were already in motion. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing requires slowing down, tending to yourself, and getting the right support. Whether you stay, leave, or don't yet know what you want, there is no one “right” path—only your path. If you've been trying to make sense of what happened, or wondering why this feels so overwhelming, this conversation will help you understand why—and what actually helps. Top 3 Takeaways Infidelity is complex and rarely black-and-white. It often reflects deeper patterns, trauma, and unmet needs that existed long before the relationship. Trauma is not just emotional—it is biological. You can appear functional on the outside while your nervous system is in a state of stress or survival. Healing requires support, not isolation. Whether through therapy, coaching, or a team approach, having guidance helps you regulate, process, and make aligned decisions. Pull Quotes “You can look fine on the outside—and still have a nervous system that thinks it's in a war zone.” About Monique Dr. Monique Thompson, DHA, LPC, LPC-S, is an EMDR-trained trauma and infidelity recovery therapist based in Dallas with over 24 years of experience in private practice. She specializes in helping individuals and couples heal from betrayal, restore trust, and rebuild their lives with clarity and confidence by integrating faith, neuroscience, and psychology. Dr. Thompson is the bestselling author of Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship, a practical and compassionate guide for couples navigating the aftermath of infidelity. In addition to her clinical work, she has served for over 21 years as a consultant with SMU's Perkins School of Theology and is an Associate Faculty member at the University of Phoenix, where she has been nominated Faculty of the Year for four consecutive years (2020–2023). A dedicated mentor and leader in her field, Dr. Thompson has supervised and supported the licensure of 13 LPC interns over the past 15 years. She is also a respected voice in her local community in Little Elm, Texas, where she is known not only as a clinician and author, but as a committed mother and engaged community member.

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk sits down with performance coach and author Will Polston to break down why so many high performers still feel stuck — despite achieving success. This conversation goes deeper than goals, habits, or productivity. It's about direction, identity, and building a life that actually means something. Will shares the concept of North Star Thinking — a framework designed to align your actions, decisions, and long-term vision around something bigger than short-term wins. In this episode, Kirk and Will discuss: Why chasing money and surface-level goals often leads to frustration The concept of North Star Thinking and how it changes everything How to identify a mission that drives long-term fulfilment The "glass ceiling" most high performers eventually hit Why success without direction leads to burnout and confusion How to audit your life and realign with what actually matters The role of values in decision-making and emotional consistency Why structure beats time management The importance of environment, mentorship, and community The Bigger Takeaway Most people aren't lacking effort. They're lacking alignment. You can hit goals and still feel lost You can build success and still feel unfulfilled You can work hard and still be heading in the wrong direction The solution isn't doing more. It's getting clear on why you're doing it in the first place.

Why He Can't Stop: The Truth About Porn Addiction, Cheating & Compulsive Behavior in Relationships You keep asking the same question: Why does he keep doing this—even when he knows it hurts me? In this eye-opening episode, Lora sits down with former Buddhist monk and addiction expert Jeremy Lipkowitz to unpack the real reasons behind compulsive behaviors like porn use, cheating, and addiction. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level answers. Together, they explore how addictive behaviors form, why they aren't about you, and what true recovery actually requires. If you've ever felt confused, hurt, or stuck trying to understand your partner's behavior—this episode will bring clarity, validation, and a new way forward. Top 3 Takeaways It's not about you—it's a coping mechanism. Most addictive behaviors begin early and are rooted in emotional regulation, not love, attraction, or relationship satisfaction. Addiction is about pain, not pleasure. The real question isn't “Why the addiction?”—it's “What pain is being avoided?” Healing requires addressing the root, not just stopping the behavior. You can't shame someone into change—but you can create awareness. True transformation happens through self-awareness, accountability, and building a life that no longer needs escape. Pull Quotes "Addiction isn't about wanting more pleasure—it's about trying to escape a life that doesn't feel good.” About Jeremy Jeremy Lipkowitz is a former Buddhist monk, meditation teacher, and ICF-certified executive coach who helps high-achieving men break free from compulsive behaviors—especially porn addiction—and build lives of integrity, discipline, and deep fulfillment. With over 13 years of meditation experience and hundreds of days spent in silent retreat, Jeremy blends ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science to guide individuals toward emotional resilience and personal freedom. A former genetic researcher who earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Genetics & Genomics and pursued a PhD at Duke University, Jeremy left academia after confronting his own struggles with addiction, shame, and self-judgment. A brief period of monastic training in Myanmar deepened his mindfulness practice and marked the start of a lifelong commitment to personal growth and service. As the founder of Unhooked Academy and host of the Unhooked Podcast, Jeremy is a leading voice in destigmatizing porn addiction and educating the public on effective, science-based recovery strategies. His work helps men overcome shame, understand the neuroscience of addiction, and create lasting transformation through mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and habit change. For over a decade, Jeremy has taught at universities, recovery centers, and global companies across the U.S. and Asia. His calm, grounded presence and ability to bridge analytical thinking with inner work make him a sought-after guide for professionals and executives looking to reclaim their lives from digital distractions and self-sabotaging patterns. Credentials & Training: CPCC, Co-Active Training Institute ACC, International Coaching Federation (ICF) Certified Teacher, Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI – developed at Google) The Turning Point After years of outward success—academic achievements, career accomplishments, and global recognition—I still felt a deep sense of emptiness and disconnection. Behind the polished exterior, I was battling a compulsive porn habit, struggling with shame, and silently wondering what was wrong with me. Eventually, I hit a breaking point. I left my PhD program, became a Buddhist monk, and began a deep inner journey of healing and transformation. Now, as a mindfulness-based executive coach and founder of Unhooked Academy, I help high-achieving men reclaim their focus, integrity, and sense of self. Together, we replace shame with clarity, and compulsive behaviors with purpose-driven action. Learn More at www.UnhookedAcademy.com LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don't just listen—start healing.

Why Did This Happen to Me? A Radical New Way to Understand Betrayal, Trauma & Life's Hardest Moments Why did this happen to me? If you've ever asked that question after betrayal, infidelity, or a life-altering experience… this conversation may completely shift how you see your story. In this deeply thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Rob Schwartz, author of Your Soul's Plan, to explore the concept of pre-birth planning—the idea that we may choose our biggest life challenges before we're even born. Yes… even betrayal. Before you dismiss this as “too out there,” stay with us. Because whether you take this literally or metaphorically, this conversation opens the door to something every woman healing from betrayal needs: Meaning perspective and the possibility of peace We explore what it means to view betrayal not as punishment—but as part of a larger soul journey… without bypassing the very real pain and trauma that comes with it. If you've ever wondered: Why did he cheat? Why did this happen to me? Is there any deeper meaning in this pain? How do I stop feeling like a victim of my life? This episode will stretch your thinking in the most powerful way. And most importantly—it will invite you back into your own power. Top 3 Takeaways What if your hardest experiences weren't random—but chosen for growth? The concept of pre-birth planning offers a radically different lens on betrayal, trauma, and life's biggest challenges. Understanding meaning doesn't replace healing—it deepens it. This is NOT about bypassing pain. True healing still requires emotional, somatic, and psychological work. You are not a victim of your life—you are a participant in your evolution. Shifting from “Why me?” to “What is this here to teach me?” can unlock profound clarity, forgiveness, and self-trust. Favorite Quote “What if the question isn't ‘Why did this happen to me?'—but ‘What is this here to awaken in me?'” About Rob Schwartz Bio: Rob Schwartz is a hypnotist who offers Between Lives Soul Regressions (BLSRs) to help people heal and understand their life plans. In a BLSR you can speak directly with your Council of Elders, the wise, loving, and highly evolved beings who can tell you what you planned for your current lifetime and why, how well you're fulfilling your plan, and how you may better fulfill your plan. Rob's first book, Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, explores the pre-birth planning of physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, and accidents. His second book, Your Soul's Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, explores the pre-birth planning of spiritual awakening, miscarriage, abortion, suicide, caregiving, sexuality, adoption, having pets, poverty, mental illness, and other life challenges and experiences. His third book Your Soul's Love: Living the Love You Planned Before You Were Born is about the pre-birth planning of challenges related to romantic relationships or their absence: infidelity; impotence; interdimensional parenting (raising children seemingly alone after the death of one's partner); being single; and celibate relationships. Rob's books have been translated into 28 languages. He teaches internationally on the subject of pre-birth planning at such venues as The United Nations, Kripalu, 1440 Multiversity, Hollyhock, and online through The Shift Network.

Why I Stayed After 15 Years of Infidelity -The Honest Truth About Rebuilding Trust What if staying after betrayal wasn't weakness, denial, or fear — but one of the most conscious, self-respecting decisions a person could make? In this deeply personal episode, Lora answers one of the hardest and most frequently asked questions of her life: Why did you stay? After years of infidelity, heartbreak, and shattered trust, she shares the honest, nuanced truth behind her decision to remain, heal, and rebuild. This is not a story about excusing betrayal, minimizing pain, or pretending the past didn't happen. It's a story about truth, justice, self-respect, and the courage to stay present long enough to see whether something truly new could be built. Lora explores the assumptions people make about women who stay, the difference between blind loyalty and conscious choice, and the emotional, relational, and spiritual work that real reconciliation requires. She also speaks candidly about love, risk, accountability, integration, and why healing is never about replaying the worst moment of your life forever. If you've ever wondered whether someone can love you and still betray you, whether staying means you're weak, or what it actually takes to rebuild trust after infidelity, this episode offers a raw, grounded, and powerfully clarifying perspective. Top 3 Takeaways Staying after betrayal is not the same as accepting anything. Lora did not stay “no matter what.” She stayed present, kept listening to herself, and continued choosing based on what was actually happening in the relationship. Reconciliation only works when truth, accountability, and repair are real. You cannot heal by pretending it didn't happen. Rebuilding trust requires full truth, real change, emotional honesty, and the willingness to create an entirely new relationship. The goal is not just saving the relationship — it's reclaiming yourself. Whether you stay or leave, the deeper work is learning to honor your values, trust your own discernment, and move forward without bitterness. Pull Quotes “Staying isn't blind loyalty. It's conscious participation in whether something new is actually being built.” “I didn't stay because I was afraid to leave. I stayed because I trusted myself to keep choosing based on what was actually happening.” LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don't just listen—start healing.

Why Men Cheat, Why They Keep Cheating, and How to Know If He's Really Changed You asked the hardest questions—so we answered them. Why do men cheat? Why do they keep cheating? Can a man love you and still betray you? Why won't he talk about the affair? And how do you know if he's truly changed? In this deeply honest episode, I sit down with my husband, Shawn, to answer the real questions women ask after infidelity—the same questions they post in my Facebook group, whisper to themselves at 2 a.m., and type into Google when their world has fallen apart. This conversation is raw, thoughtful, and incredibly real. Shawn shares openly from the perspective of the betrayer—not as a clinician, but as a man who lived it, hid it, justified it, and ultimately had to face the truth of what he had done. Together, we talk about validation, compartmentalization, shame, emotional avoidance, repair, trust, intrusive thoughts, and what genuine transformation actually looks like over time. This is not a conversation about excusing betrayal. It's a conversation about understanding it clearly enough to stop repeating the cycle. If you have ever wondered whether he truly understands the pain he caused… whether change is real… or whether healing is possible for you, this episode will meet you there. Top 3 Takeaways Cheating is often a coping mechanism—not an honest solution. Shawn shares how seeking validation, emotional immaturity, and unresolved childhood wounds fueled his choices. This doesn't excuse betrayal, but it does explain why many people cheat instead of leaving or speaking the truth. Real repair requires far more than saying “I'm sorry.” Healing only began when the conversation stopped being about words and started being about transformation, accountability, emotional safety, and the ability to stay present with discomfort. Trust is not rebuilt through promises. It's rebuilt through patterns. This episode breaks down the difference between performance and real change, why trauma triggers can still arise years later, and how trust is rebuilt one regulated, honest, consistent moment at a time.

Today, I'm talking about something we often avoid. The truth about time - and how much we have. Life is not as long as we think. On average, we get around 4,000 weeks. And when you really stop and think about that, it changes everything. It certainly did for me. So if you've ever had that quiet thought that there must be more to your life, more joy, more meaning, more you, ...but you feel stuck and unsure where to begin, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share: Why feeling stuck is often just a lack of clarity, not a lack of capability The powerful mindset shift that comes from understanding how limited our time really is Why it's never too late to start, with inspiring real-life examples And the simple first step that can completely change your direction I also share a very personal story from my early twenties when I felt completely lost, and how one simple exercise helped me change everything. If you've been waiting for the perfect time, this is your reminder that your life is happening now. Your dream life is not a rehearsal. Let’s dive in. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream

Money is a hard topic for any couple, but in a blended family, it often carries even more weight. It's rarely just about numbers. It's about history, protection, prior commitments, loyalty, fear, values, and the future you're trying to build together.In this episode, we sit down with Brian K. Peterson to unpack why money conversations feel so loaded in stepfamilies, and how couples can approach them with more wisdom and unity. Instead of treating money like a scoreboard, Brian invites couples to ask a better question: What are we trying to build together? That shift can move you from conflict and anxiety toward collaboration and peace.You'll also hear why a unified financial vision matters, especially with child support, co-parenting stress, legal battles, and shifting seasons that can make stability feel fragile. Join us as we explore why unity isn't sameness, it's honoring each person's story while intentionally building a shared future. Brian is a husband, dad, and stepdad, and the founder of Blended Family Financial. He created the Planning Built for Life® process to help stepfamily couples move from financial tension to shared clarity and direction. He and his wife, Cara, are passionate about building strong blended families, and he's the upcoming author of Blended Family Finances: How to Talk About Money, Plan for the Future, and Build a Life You Love.If money has become a source of stress, silence, or disconnection in your relationship, this episode will help you slow down, get honest, and start moving toward a more intentional and united path.You'll Discover:Why money conversations feel more complicated in blended familiesHow fear, protection, guilt, and past experiences quietly shape financial decisionsWhat a unified financial vision is, and how it helps couples move from conflict to collaborationHow to think about legacy as something you live now, not just something you leave laterResources from this Episode:Get your FREE copy of Blended Family Finances (limited offer) by Brian K.

What if purpose isn't something you discover once and hold onto forever? What if it's something you discover in small ways — every single day? Over the last few episodes we've been talking about something many of us are missing: margin. Space in our lives and space in our nervous systems. Because we can't build a life we love when every ounce of our energy is already spent holding the current one together. But once we create a little space, another question appears: Now what? In this episode I share five Japanese wisdoms that offer a gentler way to think about purpose, presence, and rebuilding a meaningful life in midlife. Not a roadmap. More like a long exhale. We explore: • Ikki no Mei — finding one small reason to show up today • Ma — why the space between things matters more than we think • Shodo — how writing by hand changes the way we experience our lives • Wabi-Sabi — finding beauty in the life that didn't go according to plan • Kintsugi — why the cracks in our story may be the most valuable part If you've ever wondered what comes next after years of caring for everyone else, this episode is an invitation to start small. You don't have to solve your whole life. You just have to find today's reason.

Welcome to another short and empowering episode. Today, we explore the powerful reminder that life is short, and that there is no perfect time to begin creating a life you love: "Life is short. There is only now." Three key takeaways: Why remembering that life is precious can be one of the most motivating mindset shifts of all How small daily actions can help you stop drifting and start consciously creating your dream life Why waiting for the right time keeps your dreams further away, and what to do instead Take this opportunity to learn how to stop postponing what matters most and begin taking meaningful steps toward the life you truly want.

"The goal, here, is options—the power to choose the life you want. And this life is not going to happen without investing."—Amanda Holden, author of How to Be a Rich Old Lady The key to learning anything we don't know is to choose to learn. Then, we need to find people who not only know what we want to acquire as knowledge, but also know how to teach it. Not only do they know how to teach it, but they sincerely want us to learn.  As this episode/post finds you, we are all at different points along our life journey regarding our age, but we also, regardless of age, are at different points regarding our knowledge of investing. Wherever you are is exactly where you need to be to begin deepening your knowledge of what will set you free once you apply the skills and language of investing that Amanda Holden teaches in her book.  Holden founded Invested Development after beginning her career in investment management. With degrees from UCLA in economics and communications, which make her a helpful guide as a teacher for the economics we want to learn, she transitioned into becoming one of the leading voices on women and money. Teaching in-person and online classes on money, her primary objective is to equip us with the tools and know-how so that finances don't prompt fear, but instead eradicate it and give us freedom.  "To be a Rich Old Lady is to be rich in life, options, experiences, and especially love." —Amanda Holden In today's episode, I'm going to share with you seven guiding truths as a way to lay the foundation of where to begin and how to maintain steady progress to becoming rich. So that you aren't looking into your older years and fearing or wondering how you will survive, but instead are eager (but not rushing) for them to arrive because you know you will be thriving.   ~Find the Show Notes for this episode on The Simply Luxurious Life blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast420
