Ep #23: Are You Struggling to Lose Weight?
There are some really interesting patterns I see in my clients, and one thing I’m seeing at the moment is a lot of people struggling to lose weight. Invariably, the single biggest obstacle here is emotional eating: buffering feelings with food. I believe that eating healthier is an integral part of a lifestyle that involves…
Ep #22: How to Stop Procrastinating
Procrastination is something we’re all guilty of. Even recording this podcast took hours longer than it should have because things kept getting in my way, or at least I allowed them to get in my way. I’ve spoken before about procrastination as a symptom of perfectionism, but today I’m getting more specific about this human…
Ep #21: Embracing Failure
Something that comes up continually in my sessions with clients is the relationship between failure and success. So many of us understand our fear of failure. However, a fear of success is much more difficult to identify, and I have come to realize that failure and success are inextricably intertwined, with fear being the glue…
Ep #20: Are You Too Busy?
In the last 50 years, the word busy has become synonymous with a sense of importance. Something about being busy makes people feel needed or wanted, and it’s something we overthinkers strive for.

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…
