Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené
Gamut Podcast Network
Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan are two soul sisters and therapists who connected over their shared love of depth psychology—known as the psychology of the soul. It is a template for diving beneath the surface to examine the complex natures of being human while on the quest for wholeness, including the relationship to spirit. Through their training and lived experiences with depth, yogic psychology, and mindfulness, they developed a passion for supporting others in living their most authentic lives while cultivating a fulfilling and rich relationship with the Self, capital “S.”Every Wednesday, Vanessa and Dené look to demystify, de-stigmatize, and desensitize what goes on both inside the therapy room and in daily life, through soul-provoking conversations with fellow seekers, thought leaders, changemakers, and real people during live coaching sessions as they navigate the hard work it takes to be a human.This podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy.

Ep 90 The Path to Sovereignty with Madison Morrigan
Madison Morrigan is an international award-winning life coach, leadership consultant, sovereignty guide, and host of the Everything Belongs podcast. Centered on self-belonging, sacred self-responsibility, spiritual freedom, and full expression, Madison coaches humans as they shed layers of old programming to come to their true selves. We sit down with Madison to explore the path she has taken to being such a potent guide to others on their healing journey. We discuss the somatic manifestations of trauma that often occur when we attempt to bypass acknowledging what we’ve been through, the experience of exile as an initiatory phase on the path to inner belonging, the collective sense of exhaustion we are experiencing from attempting to hold the opposing tensions of nuance and fear, and the sneaky ways some of our codependent tendencies can creep back in through outlets like social media and outsourcing our power to others. We were both blown away by Madison’s magnetic strength and wisdom. We know you will be too!You can connect with Madison on Instagram and TikTok @madisonmorrigan and through her website at madisonmorrigan.com.

Ep 89 The ‘Toxic Positivity’ Conversation
In this solo episode, we explore the conversation that seems to be coming up quite a bit around toxic positivity, and how using this phrase may impact our ability to stay curious and view others without judgment. We discuss the challenge around the loss of nuance that has come with the rise of mental health conversations happening on social media with character limits, the fact that life will inevitably hand us moments that we can’t bypass our way through, and that curiosity and judgment can’t live together - which is why we can’t form genuine connections with others if both are present.Interested in joining a live virtual group class with us?

For over 20 years, she has been helping families thrive through her conscious guidance approach to parenting.We talk with Katherine about the gifts that come from meeting our children with a sense of humility, the antiquated idea that any resistance from a child should be seen as a form of disrespect, how our children hold up a mirror and offer insight into what happens for us when we feel out of control, and how to embrace parenting as a paradigm-shifting opportunity for us to do our own reparent work.

In this live coaching session, we talk with Jane about the contradictory feelings that come up as we’re on the precipice of a new phase of life.We explore the realities of prioritizing our needs as parents,, how sometimes we can be attempting to postpone the action steps of going after what we really want by continuing to pursue additional letters behind our names, how much power we can find when we stay open to receiving instead of attempting to figure things out, and the sense of freedom that comes from a practice letting go of attachment to outcomes.

Ep 85 Owning our Wounds as Women
In this solo episode, we explore the shadow elements of being raised as women in a wounded patriarchal system.We talk about the differentiation between ‘wounded feminine’ and ‘healthy feminine’ energetics, how some of the narratives we were raised with have at times caused us to unconsciously reject elements of ourselves and other women, the challenge of confronting some of our subconscious programming while attempting to be present in relationships, and why working as therapists has given insight into where we’ve previously missed the mark in our perception of the inner world of men.Interested in joining a live virtual group class with us?

In this live coaching session, we sit down with Maia to talk about her experiences with codependency and boundaries in her marriage.Our conversation raised common relational questions like, “is it me?” “Is it them?” “Is it our communication?” “Could I be different or better?” And more painfully, “is this my fault?” This session was such a beautiful example of how often our work in relationships is to invite curiosity and compassion back in where it has been lost - starting first and foremost, with ourselves.Interested in joining a live virtual group class with us?
