It's been two years and three seasons of recording our podcast and much has changed for us. 

In general, it's quite easy to navigate through life's adversities and challenges without looking at the positive changes, different experiences, and the 'anchoring-in' of wins! 

As therapists, we feel it's important to reflect on the positive changes that have been made along a journey. And that's what we wanted to do in this episode; we wanted to look at how using the platform of our podcast has changed us and helped us grow and expand further. 
We wanted to slow things down and name the shifts that we experienced within ourselves and of each other during our time together creating and collaborating on this beautiful project that started two years ago.

This episode is for us to celebrate our wins and by doing so, we hope it gives you permission to celebrate yours, too! So, please join us as we share in more detail the fears that we had, and how we've navigated those fears two years after hitting the record button for the first time. 

Much love to you,

Vicki and Arianne 💞

Resourcing, simply stated is what we tap into and/or use that helps us navigate challenging times. Resources can be a person (or people), a place, a practice, or anything that helps us feel more solid as we navigate through challenging times. Resources are what keep us moving forward vs staying in the depth of darkness. And, if we find ourselves entrenched in the darkness of life challenges, our unique resourcing tools can help move us towards the light.

There are so many benefits to knowing what our own resources are, and that's one of the reasons we wanted to talk about this beautiful and supportive relationship.

In this episode, we explore our relationship with resourcing and we share many different types of resources. We hope this episode brings a curiosity about what resources you currently have that you might not even know about.

Much love,

Vicki and Arianne ❣️

Does the word dieting bring up a wave of nausea for you? Or maybe you get flashbacks to a time (maybe, even as recent as last week) when you decided to try a new 'fad diet' and then 'fell off the wagon'? Either way, the diet culture is real, and it's been around for far too long. That's why we were so excited to have Jenn Huber, a non-diet dietician and N.D. share her wealth of information on a new(ish) to the world relationship with un-dieting. 

The dieting culture impacts more than our relationship with food.  Here are just a few keywords that Jen mentions that have NOTHING to do with food and everything to do with how we experience ourselves in relationship to food. Just see if any sound or feel familiar:

• obsession
• guilt
• shame
• criticism
• doubt

We then flip the script as Jenn shares how she would like to see us in relationship with food (and therefore ourselves)

• body neutrality
• intuitive eating
• safe!!
• taste hunger, taste hunger, taste hunger - read that again people! 
• food joy

In this episode, Jenn gently shares her views on being in a flexible and forgiving relationship with food, which you can imagine would create a different relationship with yourself (or maybe it's vice versa). We really feel this episode is worth the listen due to the strong messaging that's been ingrained for far too long. Please, allow yourself time to hear what's desperately in need of being heard as Jenn offers such grace, compassion and understanding towards a relationship that has been plaguing us for decades. Press play. Share it with your friends. Let us know what you think.

Much love,

Arianne and Vicki ❣️

What is resiliency? Why is resiliency important as we travel through life? How do we know what our resiliency is and can we build it?

Resiliency help us get through the stickiness of life. It's the qualities that make us who we are, and it's so much more. This is a really interesting relationship to speak about because we found the description to be very ambiguous. So, we just spoke about how we experienced ourselves in resiliency and how we help others, mainly our clients, know their resilience. 

Close to the end of the episode, we go a bit off track where we have a disagreement (eeek!), and after we 'clean it up,'  we tied it back into resiliency! It was a bit uncomfortable for us but we let ourselves be revealed in real-time and kept recording. 

We think it's important to know resiliency because it's a beautiful relationship to have, hold onto, and build upon. Please be with us as we explore this ever-wonderful relationship and bu curious about your own beautiful resilience.

Much love,

Vicki and Arianne 💖

We followed through! We're so proud! In our last episode, we offered some brief information on attachment style and how our attachments will show up in the 'here and now'. However, we didn't give a lot of examples and share how the past will impact the present based on our own experiences. That's what we did in this episode; after briefly recapping last episode we share memories and tie the impact of those moments to the here and now.

We have such passion for this relationship because as therapists, we know how crucial it is to understand our past. We also understand that for some, looking and learning about the past can feel hard. It's our hope to model in this episode (and previous ones), some of the benefits that come with understanding our history. The past might hold some, or a lot of pain, but it also holds beauty, because that's what YOU are and that doesn't ever leave.

Please be gentle with yourself, press play and sit with us in this revealing episode.

Much love and gratitude,

Vicki and Arianne  💖

Okay, it took us a few minutes to actually figure out the topic of this podcast episode but we got it! We wanted to discuss how the past - our past experiences - can and do impact our current lives.

Our past tells a story. It holds so much information about who we are and why we are today.  Meaning, we will filter life through the lenses of our past and that will dictate quite a bit of how we experience our day to day lives and relationships, including the relationship we have with ourselves. 

In this episode, we explain a bit about attachment theory, and we share about the attachment styles we have in our current adult relationship based on our infancy experiences. 

This was a HUGE relationship to discuss in a short period of time, so we actually decided to make this episode Part 1 of 2. 

And....some can feel really apprehensive about looking at their past, and we get that. We really understand that it might be a daunting and scary place, so we want you to know that we see you. Please know that if you want to explore your past and you feel apprehension, find someone to support you along the way! You deserve to have company on this journey. 

But one thing that could never be wrong about your past is this: Your past had YOU in it, which means it's already a beautiful story. 

"Who we are now is largely dictated by our past, but we aren't defined by it."

Much love,

Vicki and Arianne ❣️

Change happens. We can't deny it. We can't stop it. Change occurs in every moment and in numerous ways. 

Some thrive when change happens, others fear it, and there's a whole spectrum in the middle. So, why do we differ in our relationship with change? How come some people can step into change with ease, and for others, it can feel paralyzing?

In this episode, we look at how our life experiences can develop our relationship with change. We also look at who we are in the middle of change and how does it impact our world when we can step into and embrace this relationship even and especially when it feels hard.

Change what you need to change so that you can hit play and join in on this really beautiful conversation ... and stay with us because we get to the meat and potatoes of this relationship, which is after we discuss Arianne's dating life 😬
Much love to you,

Vicki and Arianne ❣️

Self-love, is this relationship actually the real pursuit of happiness? It might just be.

Self-love is a relationship that can change from one moment to the next, and yet, as a society we make it very black and white. Its our hope this episode helps you, our beautiful listeners, understand that your relationship with self-love can ebb and flow and that love, self-love, is never gone.

With this relationship being the most important one, we share how we've grown in this area and what strategies we use when we haven't been able to embody self-love. We also share a few tips on how you can step into this relationship because Lovelies, you deserve to embody self-love more and more.

So, press play and let us walk with you, as you explore your relationship with Self-Love.

Much love,

Vicki and Arianne 💞

ps. sorry-not-sorry for all of the 'love' bombs written above 😉

Okay, this was a fun one to record and we had NO idea it was possible to have "fun" around planning. 

Relationship with planning seemed like a really easy one to discuss - but we were surprised at the different types of relationships one can have with "planning".  Seriously, we know it might sound ridiculous but this relationship has depth. Who knew!!!!?

In this episode, we cover a gamut of topics such as; over-planning, under-planning, how trauma can play a role in this relationship, and how planning can create a feeling of safety or a feeling of restriction to some!

We also discuss our own relationship with planning, which makes us laugh... we laugh a lot and swear a lot, too! So, press play and listen to us share, bust, and uncover some awareness in this very profound relationship. 

 Much love,

Vicki and Arianne❣️
