Self Love

Join Kristen and Claire for this week's episode about the weight of productivity during COVID-19 and society that measures self worth based on how much we accomplish. Listen to their new segment called the Mental Break where the two therapists share their favorite cult. Kristen talks about academia and how hard it can be to "perform" and the two unpack what laziness is and if it's even real.

Kristen and Claire are back again to talk about relationships (of course) and the current state of their lives. The pair talk about recent relationship insights as well as the different attachment styles and what each brings to the table in relationships. They also talk about the importance of having a funeral for dead relationships and give listeners attachment style resources.

After their deep conversation about relationships on the last episode, Claire and Kristen decide to talk about the most important relationship: the one with yourself. Listen to their comments on the road to self love and learning to embrace yourself as much as you embrace and love others. Also, men are made in a factory. 

Funny title. Serious podcast. Our favorite episode yet, Kristen and Claire talk about all kinds of ships: Friend Ships, Romantic Ships, Healthy Ships, and Sinking Ships. Listen to their honest and raw conversation about what they've learned about life and love while becoming a therapist and experiencing their own highs and lows in relationships. What makes a relationship last? What's the difference between a romantic relationship and a friendship? Is love more about choice or magic? Listen to find out!

Kristen and Claire talk about the dark, twisty, stormy, and sometimes sunny world of being an Enneagram 4. Finally done with grad school and official masters of Marriage and Family Therapy, the two reflect on their experience and the way the Enneagram has impacted their growth and awareness of themselves. Claire and Kristen talk about what they love and hate about their "four-ness" and they way their identities have developed over the past few years. 

"We do not make decisions out of fear." Kristen and Claire discuss the meaning of true leadership as well as their recent experiences of conflict with colleagues and peers. They share how they stand up to fear, especially when engaging in hard conversations with those in positions of power.   

Kristen & Claire define vulnerability and discuss recent experiences, both of success and failure, with learning how to be open, honest, and fully known. Claire talks about her recent acts of vulnerability in dating and what she learned, while Kristen shares about an interesting assignment in sex class. **There are some issues with the audio but we think this content came from the heart/ we are 4's on the enneagram and strive for authenticity so sorry, we're not sorry.**

Claire and Kristen talk about their favorite conspiracy theories, as well as therapists going to therapy, and why they're in this field.
