Putting Relationship OCD to Words with Coach Samara Lane
Relationship OCD doesn't look like fear — it looks like doubt, over-thinking, and the constant urge to "figure out" your partner and your feelings.
In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with rOCD coach Samara to talk about how relationship OCD shows up in loving partnerships, why reassurance and analysis make it worse, and how nervous system regulation and IFS can support real healing.
We also explore how isolating and lonely rOCD can feel when no one else truly understands what you're going through — and why you're not broken for experiencing it.
This conversation is raw, honest, and for anyone who has ever loved someone and been terrified at the same time.

Beyond Shelter: A CEO's Story
☕ In this Something's Brewing episode, I sit down with Sarah Fox, who shares a powerful journey from experiencing homelessness as a child to becoming the CEO of the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness, a nonprofit dedicated to ending it. With lived experience at the core of her leadership, Sarah opens up about the challenges of survival, the pivotal moments that shifted her path, and how those experiences fuel her mission today. I have witnessed the daily drive that Sarah has, losing sleep over this mission, and was humbled by the true nature of what we all fail to see on the day-to-day.
We explored the realities of homelessness, the mental health challenges and stigma that surround it, and the urgent need for systemic change. This conversation is not only about resilience—it's about turning pain into purpose and building hope for others still searching for stability. Having lived this life herself, Sarah's mission is deeply personal—and her dedication is nothing short of extraordinary. Every day, she leads with empathy and determination, fighting to house as many people as she can. Her favorite moments are seeing someone's face light up as they hold the key to their new home for the very first time.
You won't want to miss this episode. Reach out to the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) to see how you can support their work—and don't forget to listen, comment, and share to help spread the message.
