Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

In this live coaching session, we speak with Carla about the dating patterns she’s feeling reemerge after doing a lot of hard work while single.We explore building the muscles of taking the brave step of speaking to our needs, how sometimes an emotional cutt-off can be the easier choice than a tough conversation, the fact that someone’s ability to hold space for our vulnerability is critical information about their emotional capacity, and the healing that can come from showing someone our “messy parts” and working through the hurt with them instead of hiding those parts and doing it alone.If you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please subscribe, rate and write a review so we can get the podcast out to even more people!*These live coaching sessions are meant for entertainment purposes only and are not to replace therapy.

In this episode, we explore the inner workings of an introvert and an extrovert - at least from our perspectives.We break down the meaning of these terms as they were originally defined by Carl Jung (versus how we see them sometimes misused in Pop Psychology), how experiencing the world as an introvert or an extrovert impacts our romantic, friend, and familial relationships, learning to be in acceptance of our nature, and where we draw the line between compromising the truth of who we are in partnerships with feeling suppressed in an effort to keep the peace.If you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please subscribe, rate and write a review so we can get the podcast out to even more people!

We were absolutely thrilled to sit down with internationally acclaimed yoga teacher and activist Seane Corn. Seane is a powerful force, known for her social impact, impassioned style of teaching, and raw, honest, self-expression. We take a deep dive into yoga and social justice, how it is impossible to separate our path as yogis from the core tenet of ahimsa (non-violence), the fact that generational trauma is often present in our deepest moments of activation, and how we might all use this moment in history as an opportunity to rise, rather than going backward. Seane has been such a profound spiritual teacher for both of us. She is the kind of leader who makes you want to show up and be better, and we know that you are going to be just as moved by her words as we were. You can learn more from Seane and practice with her through her online platform Revolution Within on her website at seanecorn.com or follow her on IG @seanecorn If you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please subscribe, rate and write a review so we can get the podcast out to even more people!

Stefanos Sifandos is a relationship alchemist. He is also an advocate for men’s empowerment, a relationship coach, and well-known for his transformational way of educating on the interplay of masculine and feminine dynamics. We talk with Stefanos about how addressing our core wounds can support us in creating resiliency for the inevitable challenges we’ll continue to face in life, the contrast of our introverted and extroverted shadow (a new usage of the terms for us!), how masculine and feminine energies are playing out in all of our relationships, and presence - both with ourselves and others, as the key to creating a sense of connection and safety. We were so unbelievably captivated and blown away by the wisdom Stefanos had to share. We know you will be too.
