Episode 8: Listening When the Body Says No
In this episode, I explore the idea that each of us holds an innate potential that never disappears, but can become obscured when we learn to disconnect from our authentic emotional experience. Drawing on insights from When the Body Says No by Dr. Gabor Maté, I unpack how early attachment experiences shape the coping styles we carry into adulthood—often leading us to suppress emotions, especially anger, in order to maintain connection and safety, while creating chronic stress in the body that can contribute to the development of illness over time. I also explore emotional competence and the tension between authenticity and attachment, offering a lens to understand why so many of us feel disconnected from ourselves or stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. The episode ultimately shifts toward empowerment, as I introduce a practical framework for healing through the “7 A’s”—and what it looks like to begin turning toward your internal experience with curiosity and compassion. Don’t miss the ending, where I share a powerful reflection inspired by poet Andrea Gibson, inviting us to relate to our pain with curiosity and kindness—gently tending to it rather than pushing it away—and discovering how that shift can create space for healing, release, and deeper connection.

Episode 7: A Conversation with Dr. Teresa Anderson about Ketamine and prTMS
In this episode of Authentically Connected, I sit down with psychiatrist Theresa Anderson, founder of the Anderson Clinic in Cincinnati, OH, to explore emerging treatments for depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges. Together, we talk about how shifting our internal narratives can transform healing and what happens when traditional treatments aren’t enough. We also dive into innovative approaches like ketamine treatment and personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (prTMS), exploring how these therapies work in the brain, who they may help, and why personalized neuroscience may represent the next frontier in mental health care—offering renewed hope for people who have felt stuck for years.

Episode 6: Finding Your Way Back to Play
What does play look like when you’re an adult—with responsibilities, guilt, and a nervous system that doesn’t always settle easily? In this episode, I explore what it means to find your way back to play: discovering your own play style, working through differences in how others play, and relearning play as a vital part of connection and well-being. Drawing on polyvagal theory, play research, and personal reflections as a parent and therapist, this episode invites you to rethink play—not as an extra, but as an essential part of being human.
