  • Friendships for a Sex & Love Addict, Part 1
    May 21 2023

    When the topic of 'Friendship' was raised, I frankly thought it would be dull. Turns out that this exploration of friendship from the perspective of the sex and/or love addict is one of our best conversations yet. Please enjoy.

  • The Inner Critic
    Feb 23 2023

    Not feeling good enough? Maybe it's time to tune into what your inner critic is saying and change the channel...

    We reference "If" by Rudyard Kipling. It's such a fantastic poem and in the public domain, so we thought we'd put it here.

    If you can keep your head when all about you
       Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
       But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
       Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
       And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
       If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with triumph and disaster
       And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
       Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
       And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
       And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
       And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
       To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
       Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
       Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
       If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—
       Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

  • Childhood Trauma's Impact on Adult Relationships, Part 1
    Feb 16 2023

    Jenn jokes that if you had no childhood trauma, you can skip this one. If you did, you'd better heal it or it'll affect your adult relationships. This is part one of this discussion, which we found fascinating. Hope you enjoy it.
