Episode 106. Hey everyone! In this interview with Dr. Cortney Warren we cover the gamut of topics. Dr. Warren has an incredible amount of personal and professional wisdom to share with us, and to be honest, I had a hard time containing my excitement and making sure I asked everything I wanted to.

She shares such wisdom about various ways our cultural context impacts the lies we tell ourselves, and this is truly at the core of doing the deeper work we typically need to do to live a life that feels fulfilling and right for us.

We cover the topic of love addiction, which is relatively new to me and fascinating, both because it can help so many people understand what is a common experience and struggle for many people, and also because it has parallels and implications for the controversial topic of food addiction.

She gives tangible advice on how to improve self-esteem, and be onto yourself when you start to lie to yourself.

This is a great interview with lots of takeaways, can’t wait for you to listen in!
