TITLE I Don't Have Time For a Breakdown; I Don't Need Help. I Can Do It Myself GUEST Bianca Hughes, LPC EPISODE OVERVIEW Bianca talks about women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, and they struggle with people-pleasing, overextending themselves, setting boundaries, and they believe that they have to figure it out for themselves, and that there is no time for emotions. This is called Black Superwoman Syndrome. We talk about its origins as well as cultural considerations. We talk about epigenetics, and how trauma gets passed down through generations; even when it isn't talked about. GUEST BIO Bianca specializes in perfectionism, helping people embrace their imperfections and authentically be themselves. She helps clients work through concerns of self-worth, unhealthy relationships, identity, or feeling overwhelmed. Her approach within therapy is direct but open, meeting clients where they are, providing them freedom to change when they're ready. She believes in empowering and equipping people with skills, tools, and resources they can utilize for life. In addition, her passion is to eliminate mental health stigmas, which are prevalent within the black community. As well as eliminating the gap between Christianity and therapy. Bianca is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, podcast host, speaker and authenticity coach. PODCAST HOST Patricia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Coach.

TITLE How Do We Navigate The Holidays During a Global Pandemic GUEST Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW EPISODE OVERVIEW Jill is a grief expert, and she talks about options for the holidays. What if we can't be together? What if we've lost loved ones due to COVID? How do we handle politics at the table? What about those struggling because they have lost jobs? How do we include them without them feeling burdened? What should we remember? What are some bright spots? How can we create new traditions? How can we honor those we've lost. Aren't we going to upset folks if we talk about the people who have died? GUEST BIO Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW, is an author, CEO, and therapist specializing in end of life and chronic illness, grief and loss, and dementia, and provides Critical Incident Stress Debriefing when a death occurs in a workplace. As CEO of Central Counseling Services in Riverside and Murrieta, California, she and her business partner created a space for healing that is safe for those who have experienced loss & trauma, and makes it possible for clients to grow and heal. She is a certified by the Grief Recovery Institute, and has created a training and certification for providing grief groups based on her "Finish, Reorganize and Reenter" process, with a full solution focused and secular curriculum for groups and retreats. Jill spent more than a decade with hospice as a medical social worker, and director of social workers, chaplains and grief staff for a large hospice covering more than 3,000 square miles. Jill was part of making her community dementia-friendly as a Purple City, and facilitates a dementia support group that is now online and open to all. As a clinician, Jill works with clients and families facing dementia, end of life, chronic illness, grief and loss of all kinds, and geriatric and aging issues. She also coaches those who have had a very recent loss in how to manage the immediate aftermath of a death, and therapists in helping grieving and dementia clients. She loves speaking about those areas on the national level. Her sense of humor fosters better learning. Her goal is to make therapists better at recognizing grief and dementia and knowing how to help clients effectively and with all the areas of life they impact. Jill came to her chosen areas of expertise through her extensive hospice experience and became a subject expert on grief after being widowed twice and marrying the funeral director who took care of both her late wives. Her second wife died as a result of Lewy Body Dementia. She is a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and the American Association for Therapeutic Humor (AATH). Jill has a website with resources for therapists and anyone interested in learning more about grief and dementia, www.jilljohnson-young.com, and one for grievers, www.yourpaththroughgrief.com. She also co-hosts a weekly grief chat with Debra Joy Hart, "Humor, Grace and Grief" on Facebook Live. Her book "The Rebellious Widow: A practical guide to love and life after loss" will be out in March, 2021 in bookstores, online and in ebook format. She now spends quiet evenings with Stacie in the mortuary several nights a week. They share their life with three adult daughters, two grandsons, and a small herd of Oodles, who normally go to work and presentations with her. In the current pandemic they help out at home. PODCAST HOST Patricia Young hosts the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive, and works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them to understand their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers. Patricia is passionate about providing education to help HSPs and non-HSPs understand and truly appreciate the amazing gifts they have to offer. Patricia works globally online with HSPs providing coaching. Patricia also facilitates online groups for HSPs that focus on building community and developing skills (identifying your superpowers, boundaries, perfectionism, dealing with conflict, mindfulness, embracing emotions, creating a lifestyle that supports the HSP, communication, and more).

TITLE Fear of Failure & Overwhelm When We "Should" Be Excited GUEST Solo episode EPISODE OVERVIEW When exciting opportunities happen, our initial response can be overwhelm and fear. Sometimes we doubt our ability (or worth) to make/accept positive changes. In this episode I talk about being asked to write a book, and how my gremlins came up (they're still up), and what I'm doing to be present to the discomfort, and how I'm using tools to calm and reassure myself. Have you given up because the fear gets to be too much? You can do hard things! PODCAST HOST Patricia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Coach.

TITLE What Brings Us Joy—Walking Through Overthinking GUEST solo EPISODE OVERVIEW In deciding to buy a kayak, I experienced overthinking; fearing I didn't have enough information; wanting to get all the information; feeling overwhelmed, and talking so much, my husband experienced kayak fatigue. I wasn't sure I was worthy of the cost of getting something I really wanted. I talk about the bumps my husband and I experienced—including playing worst case scenario—and how we worked through the challenges.

TITLE How to Identify a Healthy Relationship GUEST Lindsay Gibson, PsyD. EPISODE OVERVIEW Dr. Lindsay Gibson, author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents describes healthy relationships look like, and she identifies characteristics of a person who is capable of having a healthy relationship. She talks about what to look for at the beginning of a relationship. She also talks about deal breakers and red flags, and why people who had unhappy childhoods tend to get involved with difficult partners. She explains why it can be hard to end a relationship that isn't working. HIGHLIGHTS Emotional Immaturity—These people respond like young children or adolescents. They lack empathy and are not able to see things from another's point of view. They lack the ability to self-regulate and they are NOT self-reflective. They have a strong sense of self, but not of others. There may be attachment injuries, and a secure attachment is essential to develop a healthy sense of self. What are the elements of a healthy relationship? The relationship supports and builds the energy and individuality of each person One has the ability to be empathic—you can imagine your internal experience and the internal experience of the other One is interested in their partner, their well-being, they enjoy their partner's success and are supportive One is willing to learn One keeps it interesting What are some personality characteristics of a person who is capable of a healthy relationship? One is sensitive and can tune in to the other person One's personality is complex enough to support individuality (the partner doesn't have to think, believe, act, do things exactly like the other person to make them feel secure) One automatically takes the other person into account One is able to take turns with problem-solving, compromise One is creative and resilient One knows their own needs and preference and can voice them One can tolerate conflict One can be vulnerable One can manage having competing needs Mature coping mechanisms like humor, or asking for support Why are some people aware of their unhappy childhoods, yet they find themselves involved with difficult people in their adult relationships? HSPs have great insight and great memories HSPs are altruistic and function at a high level If a person doesn't do the emotional work to heal from childhood, they recognize the patterns, but continue to engage in relationships/patterns that don't work You must have the emotional experience of what happened to you in childhood When one hasn't done the emotional work, one doesn't have the gut feeling or instinct that informs one that this isn't healthy What signs should a person look for at the beginning of a relationship in order to assess its potential for becoming a healthy relationship? One feels fully seen One is even tempered One is able to own and accept their mistakes One has the ability to apologize and make amends One has the capacity to receive One is enjoyable, playful, has a sense of humor There is a realistic and reliable foundation One can work with reality and they try and understand what's going on One can think and feel at the same time (one's brain doesn't get hijacked with emotion) One can be reasoned with One is respectful of boundaries—if you set a boundary, one might be curious about it (but not defensive or try and push the boundary) One doesn't psychoanalyze or label or call names (sensitive, overreacting, emotional, unreliable, etc.) One can talk from a feeling place One won't tell you how you should be feelings One can wait and be patient One can handle stress well (if you see impatience and irritability in the beginning BEWARE!) What are the biggest red flags that indicate that you might be getting involved with an Emotionally Immature Person? You feel like you can't completely be yourself Not opening up, not completely at ease, watching yourself Your thoughts are scrambled You don't think as clearly or concisely The person has a history of conflictual relationships, and tends to see themselves as a victim or a rescuer What are deal breakers in any close relationship? If you're doing a lot of the work, and you can't communicate your feelings, and you don't feel safe or confident with the other person The other person is constantly telling you that you're the problem Why is it difficult to end a difficult relationship? We bond with others for a sense of survival. It's familiar and there is emotional intensity (this isn't necessarily a positive attribute) The more emotional stimulation (even if it's negative—fighting, abuse), the tighter the bonding GUEST BIO Lindsay Gibson, PsyD. has been a licensed clinical psychologist for over thirty years and specializes in individual adult psychotherapy with adult children of emotionally immature parents. She is the author of three books. Her most recent book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents remains a #1 Amazon Best Seller.

In the past Dr. Gibson has served as an adjunct assistant professor teaching doctoral psychology students, and she writes a monthly Well-Being column for Tidewater Women magazine in Virginia Beach, VA.
