No, you’re not. And this episode is for you too, because our expert says improving your solo sex life is the first step.

In this important and special episode, you will hear the beautiful, profound, and comforting words that are needed in the world right now.
When I woke up this morning, I did not expect to have this conversation.
But, as I watched the news unfold, I felt overwhelmed and hopeless, seeing a world that feels like it’s spinning out of control.
I thought to myself, "If I could talk to one person right now who could give you and me the love, support, and tools that help when you feel scared of the world around you, who would it be?"
I knew exactly who I wanted to talk to: Dr. Thema Bryant.
Dr. Thema Bryant is a scholar, minister, and tenured professor at Pepperdine University. A clinical psychologist who completed her postdoctoral studies at Harvard Medical Center’s Victims of Violence, Dr. Thema Bryant is the current president of the American Psychological Association and has published multiple best-selling books.
Every time I listen to her speak, she radiates so much love, perspective, and soft empowerment to help you face whatever is going on in your life.
I seriously feel my soul exhale whenever she speaks, and that’s why I wanted her to talk to you and me through this difficult time.
Whether you’re watching tragedy play out in the news or things are happening for you globally, nationally, locally, or even in your own living room, this is a conversation that will help you.
You don’t have to be directly impacted by what is going on out there in the world to feel the uneasiness and overwhelm inside you.
Please take 29 minutes and join me and Dr. Thema Bryant for this incredibly powerful message:
Even when things seem so dark, there is still a light inside of you and me, and there are ways in which you can connect with it, no matter what is happening.
This conversation is packed with meaning and simple things to do if you’re feeling overwhelmed or are in the middle of turmoil within your own community, relationships, or family.
Dr. Thema will guide you in navigating your feelings.
She’ll explain to you with reassurance and wisdom how exactly to process what is going on, while still staying connected with yourself.
If you don’t feel like you have a soft or safe place to land or don’t know how to sort through overwhelming feelings, this conversation will feel like a gift.
Thank you for being here for this and for sharing it with everyone you know and love.
Because everyone is in it right now, and we all need some guidance.

In this episode, award-winning Harvard-educated journalist and researcher Jenny Wallace is here to discuss “toxic achievement” and the toxic pressure that makes you feel that no matter what you do or what level of success you achieve, it will never be enough.
You feel toxic pressure at work, and you feel toxic pressure at home. Jenny Wallace, who just completed a major research study with over 6,000 kids and their parents, is here to tell you this unhealthy pressure is trickling down to your kids, who are buckling under the never-ending demands to measure up.
Whether you are sick of spending every weekend racing from one sporting event or club team practice to another, or you are tired of the never-ending video calls that keep you working day and night, one thing is clear: something has to give.
Your worth is not determined by the things you achieve.
Jenny Wallace is here with the research and the findings that say all this pressure is backfiring because all anyone really wants is to feel like they matter.
According to her research, there are seven changes you can make that will boost your kids’ confidence and resilience and get you off this hamster wheel that is leading nowhere.
If you struggle with work-life balance and feel burned out, the research will empower you to:
Learn the one question to ask your kid that shows you love them.Stop working yourself into the ground to prove your worth.Why you are your harshest critic and the simple things you need to do to become your biggest fan.Snip the tie between achievement and self-worth.Unplug yourself from the stress loop of other people and never get rattled again.The 3 things you can do to show people you love that they matter to you.Stop beating yourself up for not having the perfect home or getting A’s on every test, and prioritize what really matters instead.
I want you to get off the hamster wheel and stop being obsessed with achieving, having, and winning.
You hold the key to helping yourself and others feel like they matter in this world.
It’s time to unlock it.

In today’s episode, prepare to open your mind to larger possibilities and amazing capabilities that you already have.
I am sitting down with intuitive psychic medium Kim Russo, who is here to share her gift and tell you how you can get in touch with your intuitive gift, too.
I first learned about Kim from Oprah Winfrey and immediately knew I needed to get her on the talk show I hosted. What happened next changed my entire life.
When Kim was just a child, she realized she could see people who’d passed away, and nobody else was seeing them. After years of denying it, she decided to lean into her incredible skill. A skill she says you have too.
If you’ve ever sensed somebody’s with you, you’re right. Kim says we travel with two or three loved ones at all times. Have you ever had that little voice in your head or gut feeling about something? Kim says that your loved ones are trying to guide you.
This episode is remarkable because you are not only going to learn how Kim tapped into her abilities, but you'll also learn how you can tap into yours.
Kim has helped MILLIONS tune into their innate intuition by teaching them to quiet their minds and listen to their inner voice to figure out the next step.
Are you skeptical? I was, too.
Until she gave me a message from my dead father-in-law. It is the reason I sold my Boston home after 26 years and moved to southern Vermont. She changed my life forever.
What Kim will teach you is invaluable; you will learn:
What intuition is—and it’s not crazy woo-woo stuff.Why that little voice in your head is actually right—and you need to listen to it.The simple but powerful lessons she learned from those who have passed over will make your shoulders relax instantly.That every soul on this planet has a purpose, and how to find out what yours is.What the brain-heart connection is and how it instantly gives you the information you need right now.That you have souls supporting you from the other side, and how to connect with them.
Kim will show you why and how we must open up our minds and hearts to new possibilities and use the guidance of our loved ones to navigate life.
You just have to listen.
