Read The Room

• Real Relationship Questions with Natalie Martin

  Well I asked for questions and you delivered! The whole reason I started this show and wrote Read The Room was to be able to have these conversations. In your real life, in the actual dynamics you find yourselves in, that’s where I want to meet you. I want to help you navigate the difficult and confusing.So today we’re digging in. We’re dealing with nuanced situations like, “What do you do when your spouse has a family who continually lies to and gaslights them ... how can you help?” I’ve got some thoughts on that for sure. Then we go another direction, “What do you do when you’re a mature adult dating again and have a child who wants nothing to do with a new love interest?” Yep, I’m ready to tackle that too.I’m so grateful to have Natalie Martin (licensed marriage and family therapist) on with me today to help me tackle these questions and an awful lot more. If you have a question you’d like for us to answer, please just email me at [email protected] or send me a direct message on Instagram. I hope something in this meets you where you are. I have a hope and feeling it will!WATCH the full episode, here on Patreon!

• Dr. Andy Yarborough: Out of Overwhelm

  I’m joined today by one of the smartest people I have the pleasure of knowing. Dr. Andy Yarborough is a licensed clinical psychologist as well as personal coach to many— me included. And yes, you’re seeing that correctly. Today, I’m having on a friend who has genuinely helped me understand my own overwhelm, as well as my ability to step out of it. We’re having a real, no holds barred conversation about what it means to genuinely integrate the entirety of who you are and to show up authentically in the world. If you’re not already listening to his podcast, My Well Lab with Dr. Andy Yarborough, you’re sincerely missing out. This man is a resource of health and I’m so pleased to introduce you to him. If you haven’t grabbed my book, READ THE ROOM yet, snag it on Audible or buy a copy wherever books are sold! WATCH the full episode, here on Patreon!

• Furhan Ahmad: Let's Be Neighbors Again

  Today, we have the distinct honor to hear from someone whose purpose in life has been defined and shaped by serving others. Furhan Ahmad was born and raised in NYC, became an EMT right out of high school to then become a police officer, and finally a first-responder firefighter, where he continues to serve the city and kaleidoscope of people to this day. His character encourages me and his story flat-out inspires me. The way he kindly, lovingly, and boldly chooses to meet a city full of complicated people, even the ones who've hurled insults and paraded their racism in his face, challenges me. I'm so excited for you to hear his story, for you to know what he loves about a varied environment, and the beauty that can develop in a person. This man is wise and well over his 10,000 hours in the area of service and meeting others. Let's all learn a thing or two from him, shall we?WATCH the full episode, here on Patreon!

• Tia Bowen: Good Is Not Best

  It's incredibly tempting to settle for "good enough" in life. Let's be real, this might show up in our work performance, our relational practices, or in how we function in life. But I've got a friend on today who I know doesn't settle for less than the best. Whether it's in her relational world, how she shows up in her career, or how she shows up in life altogether, Tia Bowen is one always reaching for better. In this ep, she's going to help us all reach for a bit more.What I think is especially great about this convo is how thoughtfully Tia has walked through transition in her life and how she talks us through that. She knows how to show up to the parties she's invited to in life, but also knows when it's time to leave. She's not afraid of hard decisions and I feel like she's making those hard calls a bit easier for each of us today. Take some of the wisdom, some of the peace you can hear, and hopefully some courage to do hard things. WATCH the full episode, here on Patreon!

• Ryan and Nikki Leonti-Edgar: Bring it to the Ring

  Romantic relationships are fraught with challenging dynamics to deal with ... 👀 or not. Even deciding you're ready to date is challenging, well it was for me at least. The question is, if you're not dealing with what is, if you can't call a thing a thing, and if you're not willing to work through the "hard" stuff with your person, then what's the point of partnership? I have two people joining me today who aren't afraid of relational work and their lives are a testament to that fact. Although I've interviewed Ryan and Nikki separately, I'm so excited for you to join us for this vulnerable conversation. I'm letting you all in a bit more to where I'm at in my own pursuit of a romantic relationship while I pick the brains of two people I love an incredible amount. I left this conversation feeling confident about myself and unbothered by my singleness. I believe you will too if you're in a similar boat, but maybe not for the reasons you think. When we work on ourselves and are willing to genuinely ask and answer the hard questions we're sometimes fearful to, we realize our very willingness to engage the difficult parts of ourselves, makes us even more equipped to meet and healthily bring someone into our life. You've got this. WE'VE got this. ✊🏼WATCH the full episode, here on Patreon!
