031: Mother Hunger with Kelly McDaniel
Kelly McDaniel, LPC returns to the podcast (she joined us on episode 28: The Legacy of Chronic Loneliness) to explore the legacy of maternal deprivation. Her upcoming book, Mother Hunger, soothes the legacy of shame that accompanies being under-mothered. Mother Hunger addresses the constant search for love —nurturance, protection, and guidance— that may lead to a lifelong quest for what was missing. It’s not about critiquing how you were raised, rather it’s about learning how to heal and re-parent the hungry parts inside. Healing begins with knowing and naming what we are missing.
028: The Legacy of Chronic Loneliness with Kelly McDaniel
We need relationship in order to survive. If you were raised without a secure base you likely learned early on to modify yourself. In this episode I am talking with Kelly McDaniel, LPC, NCC, CSAT, author and psychotherapist, about the complex trauma of chronic loneliness and how to heal from the toxic stress of disconnection.
026: How Sex Education (Or Lack Of) Impacts Us All with Elizabeth Greenblatt
Sexuality is a part of who we are and we all deserve to learn about it in a way that is safe, comfortable, and judgement-free. Learning about positive sexuality is transformative for individuals and society overall. My guest, Elizabeth Greenblatt, strives to support young people develop the skills to navigate their sexuality in a healthy and fulfilling way and believes young people must be at the center of this work.

016: Secure Relationships with Dr. Rebecca Jorgenson
Dr. Rebecca Jorgensen joins me to discuss how to avoid common pitfalls and achieve more secure relationships. We talk about how our need to connect is locked in a dance with our insecurities. How our defensive, protective strategies are activated when we feel insecure. Our guard goes up, we go behind a wall, or get critical of others and push them behind a wall. Blocking ourselves from having what we need the most, secure connection. And this is why we need to cultivate safe sacred space to deepen our awareness around how these adaptations to our insecurities inadvertently increase our pain and loneliness rather than cultivate security.
