Podcasts about relationship dynamics

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sitting down with my baby sister, Tina, for one of our favorite things to do - an unfiltered sister yap session. We cover everything from growing up as daughters of divorced parents to navigating our own divorces, healing family wounds, raising kids, and figuring out who we are on the other side of some of life's hardest seasons. This conversation is full of laughter, honesty, and the kind of stories that only sisters can tell. Tina and I didn't grow up together in the traditional sense after our parents divorced, so we've had a unique journey of finding our way back to each other throughout adulthood. In this episode, we reflect on our childhood, our Portuguese family culture, our relationships with our parents, and the lessons we've learned from staying in marriages longer than we should have. If you've ever experienced divorce, struggled with family relationships, worked through the mother wound, or simply enjoy listening to honest conversations between sisters, I think you'll see a little bit of yourself in this episode.

The prosecution built its case on a breakup — Dominic Russo was leaving, Mackenzie Shirilla couldn't handle it, and she drove into a building at nearly a hundred miles per hour. Netflix's The Crash reinforced that framing. But a psychotherapist who has spent three decades in domestic violence and forensic mental health says the relationship between Mackenzie and Dominic was far more complicated than either the trial or the documentary allowed.Constant breakups and reconciliations. Explosive fights. Threats from both sides. An incident on I-71 where the prosecution presented a friend's testimony that Mackenzie threatened to crash the car — while text messages showed Mackenzie told Dominic's mother it was actually Dom who grabbed the wheel. Two completely different accounts of the same violent moment. The defense never challenged the prosecution's version. The jury heard one side.Shavaun Scott examines what these dynamics actually reveal clinically. What happens when two young people are locked in a cycle they can't exit? Why does a breakup feel like an identity collapse for someone with Mackenzie's psychological profile? How do self-harm threats function inside a volatile relationship — and do they indicate premeditated intent or emotional deregulation? The texts were ugly. The threats were real. But what they reveal about the internal psychology is fundamentally different from what the prosecution used them to prove.Scott also takes on the memory claim that has defined the post-conviction conversation. Mackenzie maintains she blacked out. The families say she's lying. An inmate who spent six months with her describes someone unrecognizable from the Netflix portrayal. But dissociative amnesia is a documented clinical phenomenon — and Scott explains that trauma-induced memory loss looks almost exactly like what Mackenzie describes. She examines whether someone can genuinely not distinguish between forgetting and suppressing, what the medical evidence suggests about consciousness at the moment of impact, and a possibility that cuts against everything the public believes about this case — that premeditated murder may not be what happened in that car.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Nick and Ryan unpack and explore what created different relationship dynamics and what we can do to create healthy ones.

What if the answers you're searching for… aren't just in data, strategy, or logic—but somewhere deeper?In this episode, we sit down with Elizabeth Rea, evidentiary clairvoyant psychic medium and founder of Insightful, to explore what she calls expanded intelligence—a way of knowing that goes beyond what we can see, measure, or prove.And yes… it all started with a near-death experience.After being clinically dead as a teenager, Elizabeth returned with a profound shift in perception—one that allows her to access insight beyond the physical world. Today, she uses that ability to help founders, investors, leaders—and even federal agents—navigate high-stakes decisions with clarity and confidence.This conversation is equal parts mind-expanding and grounding, as we explore the intersection of science, intuition, and the unseen forces shaping our lives.IN THIS EPISODE, WE DIVE INTO...The moment that changed everything: Elizabeth shares her near-death experience—and how it unlocked her ability to perceive beyond the physical world.What “expanded intelligence” actually means: Think: insight that reveals hidden motives, relationship dynamics, and future outcomes—without relying on traditional logic.How intuition shows up in real life (and real decisions): From business strategy to personal relationships, Elizabeth explains how this deeper knowing can guide you.Bridging science + spirituality: Why this isn't about “woo”—it's about accessing information that already exists, just beyond our usual awareness.The power of seeing what's beneath the surface: What becomes possible when you understand the why behind people's actions—not just the actions themselves.WHY THIS CONVERSATION MATTERSWe're taught to trust logic. To gather data. To analyze. But what if that's only part of the picture? Elizabeth introduces a new lens—one that invites you to trust your own inner knowing alongside everything else. Because sometimes, the clarity you're looking for isn't something you figure out… It's something you feel.THE NUDGE YOU NEEDIf you've ever had a gut feeling you couldn't explain… If you've ever just known something without proof… This episode might help you start trusting that voice a little more.MORE WITH ELIZABETH REALearn more about Elizabeth and her work at insightful.foundationElizabeth works by referral only.

The goal is not to be 100% authentic all the time.That's unattainable. If you think that's the goal, you'll spend your life feeling like you're failing every time you people-please, shut down, react, perform, avoid conflict, seek approval, or slip back into old patterns.That's not failure. That's being human.I share about how authenticity isn't a final destination where you suddenly become fully healed, fully self-expressed, fully “you” all the time. It's noticing. It's awareness. It's catching yourself in the moments where you're not being true to yourself and getting curious instead of judgmental.Why did I just abandon myself there?Why did I shrink?Why did I say yes when I meant no?What was I trying to protect?That's the work.Becoming honest, aware, and willing to come back to yourself over and over again.This episode is a reminder that you are not failing because you still have moments where your ego, fear, conditioning, or old patterns take over.The magic is in noticing and choosing to return.IN PERSON EXPERIENCES, MelbourneOne-day retreat in Balnarring - June 12th, 2026Sunday Meds - June 21st, 20261:1 COACHINGOne-time 75 minute coaching call - secure your spot hereRead my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - use code KAT15 for 15% off welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Modern dating has a noise problem — reality TV selling fairy tales, apps reducing attraction to a swipe, and social media quietly eroding how we see ourselves and what we expect from love. In this episode, Christopher Louis and Natalie Stavola cut through all of it. They get into why most people enter relationships still carrying the wreckage of the last one, how blurry boundaries masquerade as flexibility until everything falls apart, and what emotional intelligence actually looks like in real-time — not in theory. They also break down what shows like Love Is Blind and Age of Attraction get right, get wrong, and what they unintentionally reveal about how desperate most people are for genuine connection. If you've been wondering why the same patterns keep showing up with different people, this episode is the answer you didn't know you were looking for. Key Topics The importance of boundaries in relationships Healing from past relationships and self-growth Strategies for effective communication and vulnerability The importance of patience and self-awareness in relationships Insights into popular dating shows like Love is Blind and Age of Attraction The impact of social media and media on self-esteem and dating The role of emotional intelligence and authenticity in love Strategies for personal growth and healthy relationships Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Dating Intelligence 02:55 Exploring Intentional Dating and Matchmaking 05:34 Navigating Relationship Dynamics 12:55 Conscious Uncoupling and Healing 18:28 Balancing Relationships and Personal Growth 20:53 Harnessing Anger for Growth 23:05 The Dynamics of Relationship Conflicts 25:46 Understanding Boundaries in Relationships 27:07 The Importance of Communication and Journaling 29:00 Navigating New Partnerships 32:15 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Patience 36:03 Reality TV and Relationship Dynamics 42:08 Insecurity and Gaslighting in Relationships 44:01 Dating Shows: Love is Blind vs. Age of Attraction 44:49 Navigating Breakups and Dating as a Coach 46:36 The Dynamics of Age in Dating 48:55 The Importance of Depth in Relationships 52:14 Healing and Growth in Modern Relationships 54:43 Feminism and Chivalry in Dating 58:56 The Rat Race of Toxic Relationships Sponsors:  Web link: https://trk.pdt.im/uK4nXo J4L festival link: https://j4l.com/dating-festival Twitter: https://x.com/ComJ4love  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFig402uwrJuhz-Ub25I60g/videos  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/j4l_com_/  Christopher Louis:  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/christopherlouisdate?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Web: https://dating-intelligence.com/ Men.tality:  https://www.datingmentality.com/ Natalie Stavola:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nataliestavola?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D Web: https://www.nataliestavolacoach.com/

Talking to your partner about internalized patriarchy is easy to put off (especially when he seems “better than most”). But if you're feeling increasingly frustrated by how it shows up in shared routines, the mental load, and emotional labor, it's time to do more than just commiserate with friends. In this episode, we'll explore how those “small” frustrations connect to sacred rage, how to recognize your own internalized norms, and how to resource yourself and set boundaries. You'll walk away with language and tools to invite your partner into a collaborative, honest conversation about changing the dynamics in your home. Some of what I explore in this episode includes:Recognizing your part and being willing to changeStop minimizing emotions and understanding sacred rageResourcing yourself and setting boundariesWays to invite a conversation and initiate change Have thoughts or questions about this episode?

In this quieter, beautifully raw episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey are back from their three-week trip to Europe, but they didn't exactly get the fairytale ending they planned. Instead, the final leg of their journey was hit by a severe stomach virus and otherworldly fevers that completely upended their vacation.Moving away from their usual high-octane discussions on sex and desire, they sit down to explore the other side of relationship reality: the somatic vulnerability of getting sick, the profound difficulty of receiving care, and what it truly means to step into the sacred space of partnership privilege.Lauren and Trey unpack the messy reality of traveling through multiple countries and climates: Trey describes the physical intensity of a day-six stomach bug and a shivering, chattering fever that forced him into deep physical vulnerability. Trey opens up about the emotional toll of getting sick on vacation and wrestling with the feeling that he was holding Lauren back from exploratory pleasure.Trey identifies his deepest fear around receiving nurturance; the underlying, irrational belief that he is "too much," taking up too much space, or becoming a burden to tolerate. Why the fear isn't necessarily about abandonment, but rather the terror that a partner will stay out of obligation while harboring residual "ugh" or resentment.Lauren and Trey address a common question from their listeners. If "there is no caretaking in desire," how do couples handle real-world ailments, accidents, and chronic issues?Lauren dies on a relational hill regarding the Wheel of Consent and the value of choosing to serve your partner: Why a relationship built entirely on the continuous chase of lust and pleasure ultimately becomes hollow.Lauren explains why stepping into caretaking for a chosen partner isn't a lower-tier "obligation," but a profound, full-hearted choice rooted in a deep desire to hold them through the hard parts of the human experience. If you're navigating a season where old childhood scripts make it terrifying to receive help, or if you're struggling to balance real-life caretaking with relational desire, you don't have to figure it out in isolation.

In this episode, Steve and I talk about something I think a lot of couples quietly go through: when the load of life becomes so heavy that it starts impacting the relationship.Not because love is gone or because anyone's doing something terribly wrong.But because one person is overloaded, stretched thin, carrying too much and the relationship starts feeling the weight of it too.I share honestly about missing Steve recently, even while living in the same house. Missing the connection, the fun, the softness, the smooshiness of us. And how easy it can be, when one person is overwhelmed, for the other person to take it personally and create even more tension in the dynamic.Because when your needs aren't being met, it hurts. But sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is recognise that your partner is drowning under the weight of life, and stop making their overwhelm about your rejection.We also speak about how unsustainable it is to carry too much for too long. Because if the overloaded person doesn't deload, eventually something gives. Their health. Their nervous system. Their joy. The relationship.This is a conversation about perspective, compassion, communication, and recognising when life is simply asking too much of someone for too long.Support the show

When Susan Bratton talks about intimacy, she doesn't speak in theory. She speaks from 34 years of marriage. From decades of teaching couples how to stay erotically connected through every life stage. From writing 44 books and programs on passionate lovemaking and from her own personal journey. Eleven years into her marriage, she had never had an orgasm from intercourse and was avoiding sex with her husband entirely. Then she learned. And everything changed. In this episode, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit down with Susan for a wide-ranging conversation about what really keeps long-term love erotically alive. They talk about the expanded orgasm practice she learned from her mentor Dr. Patti Taylor — and how it transformed Susan from someone who couldn't orgasm during intercourse into someone who describes herself as an "orgasmic optimizer." They explore why Susan rejects the word "anorgasmia" entirely, replacing it with a single word: yet. They dig into the truth about female arousal that most couples never learn — that women's erectile tissue takes 20 to 30 minutes to fully engorge, and that the cultural script of "get hard, penetrate, finish" is, in Susan's words, "a religiously repressed patriarchal female oppression strategy that is no longer working." They talk about scheduled intimate dates (Susan and her husband have them two to six times a week), radical honesty as the foundation of a 34-year marriage, and why turn-on isn't just about sex — it's a life force that spills into everything. Susan also shares her ten intimacy principles — including the one she calls the most important of them all: practicing radical honesty. If you've ever wondered whether long-term love and erotic aliveness can coexist — Susan is the proof, and this episode is the playbook. Susan is a champion and advocate for all those who desire ageless intimacy. She is a best-selling author and publisher of 44 books and programs including Sexual Soulmates, Relationship Magic, Revive Her Drive, The Steamy Sex Ed® Video Collection, Ravish Him, Dirty Talk, The Pumping Guide and Thrust In Time. She’s the official company spokesperson for GAINSWave® and TheDr. Joel Kaplan Company. She serves as Chief Advocacy Officer of ProDxHealth.org STI testing. Susan has been a featured guest on over 1,000 podcasts and TV shows, including: Diary of a CEO, You Are Not Broken, Sex with Emily, The Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey, GoodMoms Bad Choices, HealThyself, IDIOT with Laura Clery, The Infamous “Clit Camp” Music Video, LuvBites with Dr. Tara, and The Chalene Show. Her books and interviews have helped millions take control of their sexual joy. Her message resonates across gender and age because it’s rooted in agency, body literacy, and connection. Susan Bratton | "Intimacy Expert to Millions ” CEO, Better Lover · Personal Life Media · The20 Susan has spent over two decades doing something censorship and shame have long tried to silence: teaching people the pleasure-based sex education they never received.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode, she's speaking with Daniel Coyle about his new book, Flourish, The Art of Building Meaning, Joy and Fulfillment.  What is a meaningful life, and how do we make one? How do certain communities foster closeness, fulfillment, happiness, and energy?  Daniel Coyle has spent the last few years trying to crack this code.  He talks about the transformation that happened during the famous story of the 33 miners trapped 2000 feet underground in a mine in Chile.  It turns that the key to survival was a leader who was willing to let go of control.  You can't command and control your way to flourishing--or surviving in a crisis.  Background on Daniel Coyle: Daniel is the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code, which was named Best Business Book of the Year by Bloomberg, BookPal, and Business Insider. Coyle has served as an advisor to many high-performing organizations, including the Navy SEALs, Microsoft, Google, and the Cleveland Guardians. His other books include The Talent Code, The Secret Race, The Little Book of Talent, and Hardball: A Season in the Projects, which was made into a movie starring Keanu Reeves. Coyle was raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and now lives in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, during the school year and in Homer, Alaska, during the summer with his wife, Jenny, and their four children.

In this episode, Dr. Jenni and Daniel sit down with Michele Weiner-Davis — internationally renowned marriage therapist, bestselling author, and creator of the Divorce Busting method — for a conversation about what most therapists won't tell you: that many marriages assumed to be over are actually salvageable, and that infidelity, while devastating, is rarely the real ending.Michele shares the personal story behind her solution-focused approach, including how her own mother's divorce shaped her commitment to helping couples find another way. Michele, Jenni, and Daniel dig into the questions betrayed partners feel compelled to ask — and which ones quietly keep the pain alive longer than it needs to. They explore the unfaithful partner's essential role in repair, why "just communicate" isn't enough, and what real healing actually requires from both people in the room.This is a conversation for anyone who has wondered if their relationship can come back from something hard — and for anyone who has been told it can’t.

This conversation matters right now.The rise of the manosphere has sparked strong opinions, heated debates, and a growing divide between men and women. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong? In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're not here to blame, shame, or take sides. We're here to get honest. Because underneath the noise… there are real people. Men who feel lost, disconnected, and unsure of their role. Women who feel exhausted, unsupported, and done carrying it all. And instead of meeting each other there, we've been taught to point fingers. This conversation goes deeper. We explore: what's really driving the rise of the manosphere where both men and women are hurting (and not saying it out loud) how blame keeps us stuck in the same cycle what healthy masculine and feminine energy actually look like in real life how we begin restoring balance without losing ourselves This isn't about choosing a side. It's about remembering who we are… and how we relate to each other from that place. Because when we stop making each other wrong, everything shifts. Honestly… this conversation feels bigger than a podcast. It feels like the beginning of a different way forward. Maybe even a documentary that finally gets it right. Sip your cacao. Come in open. And let's have the conversation most people are still avoiding. Hey! Thanks for listening!

For most of human history, age differences in couples weren't controversial at all.Now they're treated like a moral crisis.So what changed?I break down the actual historical reality of age gaps, why people now claim they were “rare,” and why that argument doesn't hold up when you look closely.We'll talk about:How marriage actually worked for most of historyWhy peasant data gets misusedWhy remarriage matters (and gets ignored)The “elite-only” argument — and where it falls apartHow modern power-based thinking reframed dating and relationshipsAnd why women's agency is often defended by quietly taking it awayThis isn't about encouraging or condemning age-gap relationships.It's about understanding why something that was once normal is now treated as suspect — and how that shift affects modern men navigating dating and relationships.If you're confused by modern dating rules, you're not broken. The rules changed.I see this confusion every day inside the Help For Men Brotherhood — men trying to make sense of relationships without losing their backbone or their sanity.If this video resonates, check out my book REBUILD and the Brotherhood at

To explore strategies for navigating life’s complex stages, breaking generational patterns, and building authentic relationships. To provide actionable insights for entrepreneurs and individuals on self-awareness, fear management, and relationship dynamics.

Evans emphasizes listening and identifying what balance, peace, or contentment means for each individual. Early Awareness and Discipline At age 12, Evans set a goal to earn a scholarship, showing intentionality and discipline. Athletics taught her teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience, shaping her leadership style. Reading the Room Start by reading yourself—know your energy and intentions. Authenticity and confidence are key to building relationships and leveraging opportunities. Fear and Family Systems Fear often originates from family systems and generational patterns, not just personal experiences. Example: Parents’ limited worldview can project fear of the unknown onto children. Recognizing these patterns helps individuals break cycles and pursue their own paths.

Professional: Maintain boundaries; emotional needs should not be placed on workplace relationships. Personal: Define roles clearly; avoid expecting friends to fill parental gaps. Consistency and Authenticity Success requires consistency with yourself before expecting it from others. Ask: Are your goals truly yours or influenced by societal expectations?

Sadly I cannot respond directly to your text, so please Email me!This episode came straight out of TikTok — literally.We decided to do a blind reaction to comments on my FLR TikTok account, and honestly? It turned into one of the most grounded, informative conversations we've had in a while. From questions about chastity and “mental lockup,” to confusion around cuckolding, marriage, commitment, and whether you even need the kinky extras — we covered a lot.If you're new here, overwhelmed, or trying to figure out whether you're “doing FLR right,” this episode is your permission slip to slow down. Because here's the truth:Female-Led Relationship is the foundation. Everything else is optional.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhy we decided to react to TikTok comments without pre-reading themA real-life update on our current chastity status (spoiler: cages matter)The difference between physical chastity and mental chastityWhy finding the right cage is critical — comfort mattersWhy 24/7 chastity doesn't have to be the goal to be “real”How excuses creep in when life gets chaotic — and how to spot themWhy FLR works even when the cage is offThe truth about losing 150+ podcast episodes — and why we're rebuilding anywayWhether you need to be married to be in an FLR (short answer: no)Why commitment matters more than labelsThe reality of cuckolding, possessiveness, jealousy, and communicationWhy cuckolding is never necessary for an FLRHow emotions can show up unexpectedly — even years into a relationshipWhy active listening is one of the most important FLR skills you'll ever developThe difference between earned guilt and unhealthy shame in chastityWhy orgasms given by your partner are a reward, not something to feel bad aboutThe Ice Cream & Sprinkles Analogy (Yes, We're Using It Again)FLR is the bowel of vanilla ice cream.

Episode #1089 We're revisiting this conversation because it keeps coming up. A lot of men struggle with how to ask for what they want in their relationship without feeling weak or sounding needy. The truth is, it's not about the words you use. It's about how you show up when you say them. In this episode, Doug and Chris break down why hesitation kills trust, how your energy shifts the way your wife hears you, and what to do when you're afraid of her reaction. They walk through a simple way to speak clearly, ask directly, and stay grounded even if she pushes back. You'll also hear what most men get wrong when they try to "get it right," and how to stop putting pressure on her to fix what you haven't owned yet. If you've been biting your tongue, playing it safe, or hoping she'll read your mind, this is your reminder to lead the conversation. Want a real plan to start shifting your marriage?

Happy New Year, Folks! To kick off 2026, I sit down with Walt Moore, president and general manager of Walmoore Holsteins Inc., a five-generation dairy farm in Pennsylvania. In this candid conversation, we look at the Undiscussable™ issues facing farm and ranch transition —  particularly those surrounding family identity, retirement, and growth. Walt shares his family's journey, including the 18-month planning process, the role of outside advisors (like their specialized financial guide), and how they navigated a complex blended family structure to bring in the fifth generation. We learn about their family's strategy of "stepping back without stepping away," managing non-farm heirs, dealing with issues of housing and debt capacity, and the critical importance of financial transparency for legacy success. Walt's insights reveal positive conflict behaviors and the power of peer support groups. This episode is packed with essential tools and motivation for any farm family looking to find harmony through understanding and proactively plan for their future. "You've got to communicate — don't be afraid to ask questions, and don't feel like you're on an island. I'm in a couple of your groups, and you realize really quickly that we're in the same trenches.

I recently read a New York Times article claiming that women under socialism had more sex and better orgasms than women in capitalist Western countries. Sounds wild, right?But when you dig deeper, the real message is actually something I talk about all the time:Women shut down sexually when their lives are full of stress, chaos, financial pressure, and mental overload.This has nothing to do with politics — and everything to do with the realities couples face today.If you need a deeper dive into this, grab my book The Dead Bedroom Fix — and if you're ready to actually change your life, join The Brotherhood at https://helpformen.com/join

Many of us believe that holding an avoidant accountable means talking to them like they are an idiot and we are their parent. How many of us liked it when our parents, or anyone in authority held us accountable? No one! We revelled and worse, you ignore and avoided as much as we could. Yes- my anxious attached friends. Even you did that.Most people are online telling us that we need to hold avoidant attached persons accountable and that is true. However, what we think is "holding them accountable" is actually coming across to them as "control."Let's sort out this messy issue but highlight what we think is an ultimatum, what the avoidant hears and how we can do "accountability" right.I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

At first, he was open to communicating about their needs. He seemed keen on trying to be better. They were great together - both feeling safe to be vulnerable for the first time, then something changed.  He started to feel pressured and needed space. She gave him that space only to have a conversation later that confused her. Join me as I discussed with Sarah what are some of the red flags she might be missing right now and how she can navigate working with someone she is no longer in a relationship with but also hopes to get back together with...someday. What does she need to do differently should they get back together. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Even the closest families move through seasons of connection. There are times when everyone feels in sync, laughing easily, sharing space, and understanding each other without words. And then there are moments when it feels like you're speaking different languages, missing each other's cues, or simply running on separate frequencies.In this episode, we'll explore why those quieter or more distant seasons happen and how to keep your family's love steady through them. You'll learn what causes those natural fluctuations in closeness, how to recognize when it's just a temporary rhythm versus something deeper, and practical ways to reconnect with calm and compassion.Because real closeness isn't about being perfectly attuned all the time, it's about staying anchored in love, even when connection feels thin.Jennifer's Takeaways:Family Closeness and Relationship Dynamics (00:00)Understanding and Managing Emotional Reactions (03:31)Self-Reflection and Identifying Personal Triggers (07:27)The Power of Interpretation and Control in Relationships (08:28)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.
