  • Episode 684: Managing Anxiety with Ketamine Therapy: A Roundtable Conversation with Kristin Arden and Stephanie Trunzo
    2025/07/09
    This week, we’re talking all about anxiety, ketamine therapy, and how this treatment is helping high-functioning women finally feel emotional relief. You don’t need to stay in a perpetual state of anxiety - there are resources out there that can truly help. In addition to therapy and other healing modalities, ketamine therapy has been a game-changer for me in managing anxiety. So I invited Kristin Arden and Stephanie Trunzo from Mindbloom for a roundtable discussion on what ketamine therapy really is, how it works in the brain, and why it’s worth considering; especially if you’re a high-functioning woman navigating anxiety and overwhelm. We dig into what actually happens during treatment, the emotional rewiring that takes place, and how to know when it's working. If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, I hope this conversation opens the door to a new kind of healing.

  • Episode 682: The Satisfied Woman with Alanna Kaivalya
    2025/06/25
    This week, I’m joined by Alanna Kaivalya, PhD, author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman, expert on mythology, psychology, and spiritual empowerment. Alanna was someone I could’ve talked to for hours. From the second I learned her book title, I knew I had questions. She brings insight on what it actually looks like to live a fully embodied, empowered life as a woman, and how we can unlearn the conditioning that tells us we need to overfunction, overgive, and override our truth in order to be loved. Throughout our conversation, Alanna breaks down the truth about self-abandonment, why so many strong women end up in relationships that drain them, and how reclaiming our feminine energy is the key to living a life that actually feels satisfying. What you’ll hear about in this episode: Why women tend to overgive in their lives and relationships and how to recognize self-abandonment when it's happening (4:49) How dropping the “mask of masculinity” led Alanna to reclaim her energy and live more authentically (15:57) Why strong, capable women often find themselves in unhealthy relationships and how to shift the dynamic or walk away (21:13) The interplay between masculine and feminine energies in a relationship, and how it looks when it actually works (34:24) Resources: Devotion: A 6-Month Private Coaching Experience Andrea on Instagram @heyandreaowen Alanna’s Resources to Becoming a Satisfied Woman Alanna’s website Alanna’s book, The Way of the Satisfied Woman Book recommendations: I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?

  • Episode 681: Why You Feel Guilty for Choosing Yourself (And Why That’s Bullsh*t)
    2025/06/18
    I had a powerful conversation with a client this morning that led me here: the topic of guilt, and more specifically, what it looks like when guilt keeps us from choosing ourselves. This client shared that radical self-acceptance, for her, meant removing guilt when I make decisions based on what I want. This is so common. Especially for women. We are deeply conditioned to believe that putting ourselves first is selfish, that our value lies in how much we give, how selfless we are, how much we sacrifice. So in this episode, I’m breaking down what guilt actually is (and what it isn’t), why we often believe getting rid of it completely is the goal (hint: it’s not), and how we can begin to untangle our conditioning from the truth. In addition, I talk about practicing a little self-awareness when guilt shows up. What you’ll hear about in this episode: Guilt is woven into the tapestry of our social conditioning as girls and women The differences between guilt, shame, humiliation, and embarrassment and why that matters Guilt is about behavior: about making a mistake and making amends, not about who you are as a person Why we often feel guilty for putting ourselves first, even when we’ve made no mistake This episode featured two reflective questions which I’ll leave here for reference: How often have you said no to yourself out of fear of feeling guilty? When guilt shows up, ask: Is this truly something I need to make amends for? Or is this just my conditioning?” Remember, you get to choose what’s true for you, even when guilt tries to argue otherwise.

  • Episode 680: The Truth About Ambition, Burnout, and Your Zone of Genius with Amina AlTai
    2025/06/11
    I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation with Amina AlTai. She’s enthusiastic, warm, and wicked smart, and her work around ambition is deeply important. Amina is a holistic career coach and chronic illness advocate who helps leaders lead from their brilliance and truth. Her new book, The Ambition Trap, reframes what ambition means, and how it can be a tool for healing and wholeness instead of burnout and over-functioning. We discuss the two types of ambition: the kind rooted in purpose and values, and the kind that comes from pain, people-pleasing, and old wounds. Plus, Amina shares her own story about autoimmune diagnoses and near organ failure; and how they shaped the framework she now teaches. As Amina says, “Ambition is the desire to grow,”and anything is possible with your ambition when it's coming from that place of purpose and wholeness. You’ll hear us talk about: Ambition rooted in purpose vs. ambition driven by family or societal expectations (aka purposeful ambition vs. painful ambition) (6:13) Why overworking is often a systemic and economic issue, plus signs you're caught in the cycle and how to break free (10:25) What it means to live above the resentment line and how it applies to your professional life (12:56) The three E’s of identifying your zone of genius: excellence, energy, and ease and how they help align your career with your true self (15:25) How to shift your perspective around the word ambition, especially if it’s always felt a little uncomfortable (21:39) Practical strategies to prevent burnout while still pursuing your goals (24:08) The internalized beliefs that equate your worth with your work and how core belief and shadow work can help flip the script (32:53) Resources: Rythmia Retreat Andrea on Instagram @heyandreaowenMy Ketamine Therapy Journey secret podcast seriesAmina’s websiteAmina’s book, The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living Amina on Instagram @aminaaltaiThe Big Leap, Gay Hendricks Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome, Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey, Harvard Business Review Book recommendations:I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?

    2025/06/04
    I’m joined by Sharon Pope, Certified Master Life Coach and Relationship Expert, and we’re getting into why women often leave relationships emotionally way before they physically do, how to rebuild self-trust, and what it takes to get clarity when you’re stuck in the “should I stay or go?” spiral. We even discuss the topic of infidelity, and what it actually looks like to repair after betrayal. Sharon works with people who are stuck in the “What the hell do I do with this relationship?” phase. Whether that means healing it, improving it, or walking away from it. Whether you're married, dating, single, or “it's complicated,” this conversation is one you’re going to want to hear. You’ll hear us talk about: Why women often leave relationships mentally years before they leave physically (what Sharon calls “the quiet quit”) (6:12) Self-trust: what it is, how to build it, and why it matters (11:16) How to have hard conversations with more ease—where do you even begin? (27:46) Finding clarity around whether to stay or go in a marriage (33:58) What happens when someone cheats? Can the relationship be salvaged?

  • Episode 678: The Art of Receiving
    2025/05/28
    This episode was inspired by a question I brought into a recent ketamine therapy session: “What do I need to know to feel fully able to receive, to feel safe to do so?” What unfolded sparked a powerful exploration into the art of receiving. I’m breaking down what receiving really looks like (it’s not always graceful), why it’s so often tied to control and worthiness, and how you can begin to gently examine your own patterns. If you’re ready to reflect more deeply on your relationship with love, money, and support, this solo episode offers insight and questions to guide that process. You’ll also hear me read straight from my journal and revisit two childhood moments that shaped my beliefs about being “too much” and what happens when people can’t meet you where you are. These stories opened the door to deeper understanding; not just about my past, but about how those early experiences still impact my ability to receive today. What you’ll hear about in this episode: Receiving love or money can activate old nervous system patterns like fear, unworthiness, and the need to prove your self-sufficiency How early wounds of being “too much” can create deep shame and mistrust The messy, emotional “potion” of receiving The devotion to receiving as a full-body surrender; trusting your emotions and your softness. “Maybe receiving isn’t something we do—it’s something we become.” Resources: Coaching Single Sessions with AndreaMy Ketamine Therapy Journey secret podcast seriesEpisode 661: Lesson 3 on The Magic of Surrender Episode 664: Lesson 5 on What's Important for a Long-term Relationship Book recommendations: I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?

  • Episode 677: Coaching Maggie on Resentments, Indecision, and Self-Compassion
    2025/05/21
    I have a coaching session for you this week, and in these sessions, I aim to pick topics that are universal. Maggie is brave today and coming on the show with a topic many of us struggle with, resentment, self-abandonment, and the rocky road to self-compassion. I wanted to give this topic a voice because it’s incredibly common. To normalize what it looks like when women find themselves stuck in cycles of indecisiveness, resentment, guilt, and burnout. Maggie’s story is specific, but the themes? They’re everywhere. In this session, we unpack what’s getting in the way for Maggie and work together to create small, actionable steps that bring her closer to showing up for herself in meaningful ways. Her willingness to do the work on herself offers something for all of us - especially if you’ve been taught to prioritize everyone but yourself. You’ll hear us talk about: What it really looks like to explore resentments and why it matters (10:53) How self-abandonment sneaks into everything from parenting to partnership (26:19)\ Why you don’t have to forgive someone in order to heal (28:07) How indecisiveness connects to fear, self-trust, and early family dynamics (28:39) What self-compassion can look like in real time (especially when it’s new) (36:41) Resources: Coaching Single Sessions with Andrea No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model, Richard Schwartz Book recommendations: I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?
