“What was the episode title again?” In this episode the three coaches, still on location in Cincinnati, OH talk about adult ADHD - what it is, what it isn’t, and how to find interventions that might help handle this. Matthew handles it from the neurodivergent individual perspective and Cheri talks about how challenging this can be in relationships. Marlena hosts them and shares her experience from a female perspective - as there are definitely gender differences in ADHD’s presentation.

If you’re having a Rolling Stones moment and feeling like you “Gotta Get Away” - then this episode is for you. Taking our own advice, three coaches from different parts of the US converged on Cincinnati, OH and recorded our first podcast where we were all in the same location. Fittingly, we talk about the benefits - and the challenges - of travel. If you’re feeling stuck, sometimes the best thing you can do is wander and see what you find.

Imagine having your worst mistake put on display for all to see. What would it take to forgive yourself for that error? Why should you even do that? In this episode of Happy in the Mess, the three coaches talk about the process of forgiving oneself after making mistakes or experiencing regret - incorporating self-reflection, making amends, and treating oneself with kindness and grace. This can help you find yourself again - and love yourself again - so that you can find acceptance from others.

“I’m sorry” can be a powerful phrase in a relationship - it can pull people together or just as easily drive them apart (if done poorly). While childhood taught many of us to apologize just to appease our caregivers, often, we were not modeled what a sincere apology should actually be.
Join the coaches as we discuss how to make a meaningful apology and what elements are common to this - and what statements could exacerbate the problem.

When do you stop trying to fix a relationship and instead run away?
While every relationship goes through rough patches, sometimes there are clear signs that we must end things. Join three coaches as we discuss when to be happy in the mess … and when to leave the mess behind. As a bonus, we get to share what doesn’t fix a relationship and why these “fixes” actually make more of a mess.

Toxic vs. Healthy? Or is there a gray area? If you find yourself trying to answer The Clash - “Should I stay or should I go?” [headbanging optional here], this is the podcast for you. Today, the three coaches talk about how to stay healthy and take care of yourself when your situation may not be the most pleasant - whether on the job, in the family, or in your social group. We talk about reasons to stay and how to use boundaries for this. And we talk about “Quiet Quitting” to see what that label is truly saying.

Instead of “Ok, Boomer,” “They’re such a millennial,” or “I drank from the garden hose and loved it,” the coaches collaborate this week on the beauty in the differences between the generations - as well as raising an awareness of some of the systemic issues that happen. We discuss some of the defining moments of the generations. Not wanting to leave a path of destruction behind us, we work on some concrete ways to transform these generational burdens so that we hand off a better future.

Sometimes grief is more than laying a body to rest. It’s losing a dream, feeling pain of something that never will be, or missing something that never was. Join the three coaches as we delve into what this intangible grief is and what we can do about it. This topic is pertinent with all of the recent talk about the sci-fi multiverse as we have become aware of the idea of multiple realities - there might even be one where The Flash soundtrack is written by Kenny Rogers … listen and find out how!

“What’s wrong with me?” How many times have you asked yourself this question? When was the last time? Today the coaches banter around this thought - how shame and guilt can show up in our relationships and in our own heads. This is such a normal thought, but it’s important to recognize when it shows up, how it affects us, and how we can address it so that we can show up in a real, authentic, and FREE place in our lives.

“You failed.” The words that no one wants to hear - whether it’s from a loved one, inside your own head, or the driver’s license examiner. But could feeling like you’ve failed have a purpose? Today, the three coaches tackle this difficult topic by identifying failure - but also giving hope that it may in fact not be final. Marlena leads Matthew and Cheri through this - using their first-hand knowledge of the topic as well as what they practice in the coaching and counseling.Like what you hear and want to learn more?

F is for Friends - and that’s what we’re talking about today. What makes a good friend FOR you? What makes you a good friend? How do we work with friendship difficulties? And ultimately how do we decide when a friendship has run its course. We’re a long way from the schoolyard, but friendships are still just as important for adults. Today, Matthew leads the three coaches as we discuss everything (that we can in 30 minutes) about friendship!

“I’ll never be good enough”: The battle cry of the rejection sensitive. Do you struggle with this feeling? Relive all of your past mistakes? Don’t want to even look at your dating profile because of the mess that could be there? Or have you noticed your marriage is filled with stonewalling or anger outbursts? There’s a good chance that some of the symptoms of rejection sensitivity are present. Today, Marlena leads the three coaches as we discuss what this phenomenon is, where it comes from, and what we can do to start healing from it.
For those who face the extreme version of this and have considered self-harm, please make use of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988 in the United States), find local resources, or dial 911. We don’t want anyone to feel like they are alone in times like this.

Thank you, Brené Brown, for putting a phrase to what we often feel - that moment you reach out past your point of comfort and feel an overwhelming sense of shame, dread, and regret. But - there’s a reason for this … and perhaps even a purpose. Find out more as the three coaches discuss the idea of vulnerability hangovers - and possibly earn one themselves in the process.

No, the title is not a misprint. After over a season of talking about how to be “happy in the mess” we flip our focus and try to learn what to do when we are happy … but anxious that something is going to come along and wreck it.
Join us as the coaches talk about how to embrace the anxiousness we feel - and use it for our advantage - as well as encourage us to be mindful of our moments.

Have you experienced trauma and are looking for a way to not relive it, but to grow from it? What about having experienced trauma as a couple and trying to move past it - but still feeling stuck?
