09: Finding Freedom Through Grief, How To Face Loss
Where do you turn to in moments of grief and in seasons of loss? What or who do you look to for guidance when you don’t know the way forward? On today’s holiday episode, I invite you into a vulnerable and honest exploration. We all face loss at some point in our lives and we all want to be carried through it. But what can tether us? What can hold us as we grieve and mourn what no longer is? Faith looks different for everyone and I won’t tell you what or who to believe in, but the message remains the same: we all need something. We all desire love and connection through our grief. We all want grace to be extended. We all want to be cared for without judgement. But, how do we get there? Let’s get into it, so you can find out how your answers come to you. I’m diving into: How grief has showed up for me: the loss of my mother & marriage What I’m searching for: my history of exploration with faith Why it’s GOOD to challenge your belief system How grief grows our faith & provides us with freedom When bad things happen to good people & how faith gets shattered How grief can wake you up to life & abundance And much more Get caught up on the episode with my brother, Christ, Crystals, and Siblings, OH MY!: A Conversation About Christianity HERE.

07: Breaking the Broke and Lonely Artist Cycle. A Conversation w/Melissa Shepard-Williams
As an artist, it can be hard to separate work from life, creating from being, in order to leave room for relationships and love. Inspiration is all around and the drive to create is ever present! But sometimes it overpowers everything else. So, what can you do about it? How can you work through it? What can you be mindful of so your relationships don’t take a back seat to your art? And how can you make room (not leave room) for love before love decides to leave you? This is what I'm diving into today and I’m honored to be joined by Melissa Shepherd-Williams. Melissa is a former colleague at CalArts, a fellow marriage and family therapist, author, and teacher. She is here to share her wisdom and experience with us from working with artists and being a creative herself. This is such a rich conversation, full of insight and warmth and I hope you’ll join us, listen in, and then leave inspired to love while you create. We’re diving into: The uniqueness & depth that comes from working with artists Why it can be hard for young artists to say no (But why it’s necessary!) The tortured artist: Myth or reality? Does it have to be a struggle to be good? What’s driving artists to seek therapy Can two artists make it work together? Is there hope for these relationships? How to develop an intimate relationship with rest Art as an expression of you, not ALL of you Melissa’s books, Living Deliciously & From Burnout to Bliss (linked below!)

06: Are You Unhappy in Your Relationship?
Do you know what’s on your relationship menu? Are the options different if you’re dating someone, getting exclusive with them, or married? Should they be different? Have you thought about your values and boundaries within your relationships? What you’re planning to say Yes to and what will get a No? It’s time my friends. No matter what stage your relationship is in, and especially if you’re not in one at all, it’s time to figure out what you want, what you’re willing to offer, and how that will change as the relationship evolves. And I can help you do it! Today, on In Service To Love, I’m getting into an exploration of roles in relationships and specifically how our role changes between phases: from dating to becoming exclusive to then committing long-term to each other, often through marriage. I’m talking about intentions. I’m talking about expectations. I’m talking about values. These things matter! So, let’s get into it! I’m diving into: An easy exercise in deciding what your top values are The difficulty of dating outside of your own faith group, is there room for compromise? Why I encourage everyone, especially women, to date more than one person at a time How you can date from a place of intention, no matter what your values are A look at the structure within relationships The different levels of commitment between men and women Why exclusivity should look vastly different from dating And more!

Where does religion fit within therapy: Does it even have a place?

03: Are You Overwhelmed by Parenting?
Are you overwhelmed by parenting? Do you feel it taking over your whole life, leaving you tired, overwhelmed, but yet still FULL of love for those kids? I get it. Parenting is a lot. It can be demanding, emotional, joyous, messy, ALL THE THINGS, am I right? So, let’s talk about it. Today’s episode goes out to all of you over-functioning parents and caregivers; the ones that are trying to be everywhere at once (and on time!), the ones working hard to provide and care for their children and working even harder to raise responsible, kind individuals. If this sounds like you, I can help! If you’re wanting more love and appreciation from those kids, listen up! Today I’m exploring person v. parent. I’m looking at how we can be more balanced and developed in our role as a person, outside of parenting, and how this ultimately benefits our children (and us!) now and in the future. I’m diving into: How kids first learn relationship skills and the language of emotions Why it's OK GOOD to let your kids know they have an impact on you One of the main reasons we have anxious or over-functioning children in the world What I’ve witnessed in my work with artists and creatives: What it is they really want Your responsibilities as a person & as a parent: Are they the same? What your resentment level can tell you about your separation level (It’s all about that balance!) How I can help you re-engage and connect to yourself What teenagers need us to model for them & why And much more!

02: How to Live with Greater Connection to Spirit, Love, & Self
Are you wanting to practice spirituality but don’t know where to start?

We’ve all heard these terms thrown around, but what do they mean? What does it actually mean to connect to your spirituality or be in relationship with Spirit? Well, look no further, because I’m getting into ALL of it today! I’m breaking it down into three parts so YOU can decide what Spirit means for you and get started TODAY on living your life with more flow, more alignment, and a much deeper connection to Love and Self. I’m here to tell you that you’re never too far away from Spirit and Love. They’re always available to you! So, let’s get you connected! I’m diving into: How ego can be misinterpreted as Spirit and how to tell the difference How a lack of connection can show up in our body (Do any of these ring true for you?) How you might be receiving (or missing!) messages from Spirit in your life How the question of free will impacts our connection to Spirit and Self How looking at life with a perspective of “I am loved” and “I am not alone” can change everything for you Plus much more!
