In this episode, Chip Dodd and Leanne unpack how behaviors like emotional eating, over-exercising, workaholism, and social media addiction follow the same addictive patterns as substances. They explore the difference between coping mechanisms that help us heal versus those that keep us stuck, and how the brain wir...

AI isn’t exactly new anymore, but the questions around it are only getting more personal.

As it becomes more woven into our work, creativity, communication, and everyday lives, it’s worth asking: what are we comfortable handing over, and what should remain deeply human?

In this episode, I’m not talking about the usual fears around AI taking creative jobs or writing all future books. I’m interested in somethi...

Buckle up—July 2026 brings the wildest, most volatile, and most radiant astrological and numerological energy of the entire year.

Why do we keep assuming someone else knows better than we do?

In this episode, Amanda Rieger Green dives deep into our collective "external hunger"—the pervasive habit of looking outside ourselves for answers, validation, and truth. Whether we are looking to experts, influencers, institutions, or even AI, human beings are constantly seeking external certainty to escape the discomfort of the unknown.

But the truth is, we don't...

One of the primary reasons creatives stay stuck is that we are trying hard to make something “good”

I tell aspiring authors I coach that the fastest way to write something terrible is to sit down hoping to write something amazing. Something profound. Something worth reading.

Instead, if you sit down intending to tell the truth, the truth will take you exactly where you need to go.

It might be messy. It might be painful....

I can still remember being told by well-meaning adults in my life that “you can’t make money from your creative work.”

What if the very thing mental health culture tells you to do—focus on your trauma, honor your feelings, explore your pain—is actually reinforcing the patterns that are keeping you stuck?
