The Deep Impact of Childhood Experiences on Adult Love with Psychotherapist Jessica Baum • 338
We will learn: • The unspoken emotional pacts we make in relationships. • How to manage anxious attachments. • The powerful steps to sit with your past wounds, understand their impact, and start to heal.Have you ever found yourself wondering why certain feelings just won't leave you be? Like you're carrying this invisible backpack filled with emotions that somehow seem too familiar, no matter where you go or who you're with? You might have asked yourself, why do these bits of the past cling so stubbornly, shaping not just moments, but your very life story?See, the thing is, we're all a product of our experiences, but sometimes, it's not the ones you can outright remember that have the tightest grip. It's those subtle, often overlooked emotional imprints from our youngest years that silently steer the ship of our behavior, relationships, and, yes, even our self-worth.But here's a kicker: these same shadows, as painful as they can be, also have the power to lead to the most profound understanding of ourselves. Today, we're diving into just how much of our adult selves are blueprints scribbled in our young minds. Our guest is Jessica Baum. She is the founder of the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach. She has helped thousands of clients with her unique approach to healing, the Self-full® Method. Links from the episode:

Decoding the Mind-Food Connection with Nutritionist Kim Shapira • 337
We will learn:
How to recognize and manage self-denial with food
How to decode your body’s food language
How to find serenity in indulgence
Have you ever felt trapped by your own thoughts about food and eating? Like you’re stuck in a cycle and can’t get out? Right now, there's a big push against labeling any food as "bad." I agree that no one should feel shame about what they eat. For me, though, learning how our bodies react to certain foods was a game-changer. Realizing that many processed foods are engineered to be addictive shifted the blame away from my so-called lack of willpower to understanding the science behind it.Personally, I don't classify all items as food; some are just lab creations to me. And some people feel like that is shaming…I get that my approach might not jive with everyone's latest theories, but it's what's worked for me and others I know. However, I emphasize, what works for me doesn’t work for everyone. In today’s episode I’m going to give space to someone with a different view that has worked with more people than I have personally around this topic. So today we’re changing our relationship with food in whatever way works for us.Our guest is Kim Shapira. She is a celebrity dietitian, nutritional therapist, and author, with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Tulane University and a Master’s degree in Human Metabolism and Clinical Nutrition from Boston University. Kim has spent over 25 years helping people lose weight and keep it off (with a giant emphasis on keeping it off).Links from the episode:

The hidden phenomenon of self-loss that might be dictating your life choices without you even knowing it.
How to differentiate between empowering oneself and using "authenticity" as an excuse for unhelpful behaviors.
The most powerful questions to ask yourself to unveil your life’s purpose.
Have you ever felt like you’ve just completely lost yourself?Maybe you've been in a relationship where you ended up blending so much into their world, their likes and dislikes, that you lost sight of your own. Or perhaps, growing up, you learned to put everyone else first to get by, carrying that habit into adulthood. Or you've chased down all the milestones of success society laid out, only to realize they don't actually make you feel fulfilled.It's like there's a piece missing, right?So the question is, how do you get back to yourself when you’ve gone too far? Or even when you’ve never quite found yourself in the first place?That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Sara Kuburic. She is an existential psychotherapist, consultant, and author of "It's On Me". She is passionate about helping people seek change and live authentic, free, and meaningful lives. Her interest in psychology stems from her personal experience living through wars, navigating complex relationships, and continually learning what it means to be human.If you just can’t wait to dive into this topic, I need to tell you about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: SoulStrength Activation launches this week. I only have two spots left. We’re going to access your inner power (that's figuring out your unique gifts and vision), reprogram your mind for unshakeable self-belief, so you stop talking yourself out of the life you’re meant to live, and then create the life that truly fulfills you. So that you never wake up with that pit in your stomach that one more year has gone by and nothing has changed- ever again. And there are many perks for this founding group. Send me an email, and we’ll hop on a call and see if we can squeeze you into this group so that your life can start to change now.Links from the episode:
