One. More. Thing. One more thing and you may just lose your god-damned mind. If one more person asks something of you… If one more task gets added to your to-do list… You may just Lose. Your. Shit.

We've all been in this crazy-ass-stressed-the-fuck-out place where we b...

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You have "this friend"… and perhaps this is someone you've known forever, maybe you saw each other through some tough times, but at this particular place in your life, this friendship has been feeling strained, frustrating, and sometimes downright toxic. But you guilt yourself saying, "Well, we've been friends since college" or "Am I a dick if I don't want to be there for her anymore?"

If that sound...

  • Every single year, over 1 million women question leaving their marriage. And nearly 70 percent of all divorces are initiated by women. And it's no wonder – Marriage makes men's lives exponentially easier while it makes women's lives drastically harder. It is clear that 'traditional' marriage dynamics are no longer tenable for American women. 

    Years ago, I remember having a chat with a friend where sh...

    At the start of every year, it's likely you get pumped up and excited to make some serious change. You decide on a handful of things that you are GOING to conquer this year, god-damn-it! But what actually makes those goals a reality

    Throughout my 15+ years in this work, I have found that noble intentions have very little to do with bringing goals to fruition. Good ol' fashioned gumption and desire are not enough to make your drea...

    You get super jelly that your partner gets to have extra time off work, so you say (in a snarky-ass tone), "Wow. Must be nice to have so much free time". Or maybe a work group you're a part of is trying to decide how to handle a specific project and instead of voicing your true thoughts you say, "We can certainly do it your way" and mutter under you breath, "And good fucking luck with that." 

    What we have here, folks, are two examp...

    Someone does something that really bothers you, but you'd rather pull your own teeth out than have a confrontation… so you just stay quiet. Or maybe your family is so damn aggressive that you find it easier to hide in the shadows instead of "rocking the boat". 

    If you weren't properly taught how to advocate for your own wants, needs, and opinions [spoiler: none of us were], it's likely that you find yourself falling into one of the...

    Ever wonder why having difficult conversations causes soooo much anxiety, often leaving you tongue-tied, frustrated with how you're getting your point across, and down-right bummed-the-fuck-out? It can be super stressful to approach a sticky topic with someone in your life, especially if you are anticipating a less than enthusiastic response. Believe it or not, there are actually a handful of things ...

    Ever feel like you're expressing yourself like a #boss and the other person is like, "Why are you yelling? Please don't scream at me." And then you're all, "Whaaaa?! I'M NOT SCREAMING!" Or have you ever addressed something with your partner/bestie/co-worker and they told you your tone was a bit harsh? Um. Yeah. Me too.

    Recently, a listener reached out to the show and asked how she could better control her voice when talking about s...

    You know *that thing* when you get totally caught off guard by a request and don't know how to say "No", so you say, "Um, yeah, sure. Totally"? Or how 'bout this one: You know you need to address something with your bestie by you keep thinking, "Am I overreacting? Am I being dramatic? I feel like I should say something, but I'm so nervous!" Or maybe your boss walks into your office and asks for another report to be completed and in...

    One of the most amazing things about our current social climate is the influx of personal growth concepts and ideas. Although it's been beautiful to see the self-help space blossom and expand, there are certainly some ways in which these concepts can stir up problems and sticking points.

    For instance… Ever have a situation where you're all pumped up to speak up for yourself and the other person does NOT react well? Or have you ever...
