Ep #19: Lessons I Learned from a Houseplant
I know, this episode title sounds irrelevant, but stay with me here. I come from a long line of garden hobbyists, all of whom had the passion, appreciation, and patience required for nurturing plants. And then there’s me. While I love looking at my gardens, I don’t have what you’d call a green thumb. But…
Ep #18: Why I Don’t Believe in New Year’s Resolutions
Most resolutions fail by the middle of February, and they often don’t even make it that far. The overall success rate for New Year’s resolutions is around 8%. So, if you’re listening in real-time, you’ll be a few days into 2022 and you may even have fallen off whatever wagon you started the new year…
Ep #17: How to Improve Your Relationship with Money
Money is a big theme for everybody, for obvious reasons. It’s what gives us the ability to buy food, shelter, and all the things. Now, as important as money is, it’s actually a subject I don’t love talking about. However, I’ve been researching more about money over the past 18 months, and it’s time to…
Ep #16: Overdoing the Holidays
If you’re listening to this episode around its release, you’re knee-deep into the holidays. Well, as I like to say, ‘tis the season for overdoing. On some level, it’s like the rest of the year, but without the guardrails. So, if you’re a shopper, it’s likely that you use the festive season to go crazy…
Ep #15: How to Overcome People-Pleasing Paralysis
I think we all know what a people pleaser is, and it’s something I see in pretty much every single female client I work with. Societally, women were put in a caretaking, subservient role for most of history. And as we take our rightful place now in boardrooms, governments, and as international icons, we’re getting…

Ep #13: The Truth About Control
This week, I’m bringing you a new insight into another overthinker’s go-to modus operandi: control. When we’re not in control, we feel exposed and vulnerable. So it makes sense that we don’t risk giving our power away to other people and we want to have control over everything in our lives. This mentality, much like…
Ep #12: Are You a Perfectionist?
One of the common themes that come up among my clients is perfectionism. I can already hear some of you saying, “Uh-oh, this episode is about me.” But it’s not. It’s about most of us, including myself. And we need to do something about it. I have often denied my own perfectionism. I thought perfectionists…
Ep #11: How Curiosity Reduces Anxiety
When it comes to action-oriented people, overthinkers, and overdoers, we want to know the how-to, which makes sense. We were raised to believe there is a formula for everything. We were encouraged to see the right and wrong in every situation. And this worked throughout school and our early life. However, as we get older,…
Ep #10: Forgiveness is Freedom
When my clients come to me, a lot of them are struggling with the aftermath of toxic friendships, relationships, and old wounds. I often see a pattern of toxic relationships that stems from their childhood: raised by either narcissists or substance abusers. And as adults, this leads to overcompensation, people pleasing, and overthinking. But what…
