Everyone knows the emotional pain of feeling stuck. But what if the key to getting unstuck lies in understanding your own energy patterns? In this podcast episode, spiritual teacher and healing artist Leah Guy shares her journey from trauma survivor to transformational guide, revealing how she helps people break free from toxic relationships and rediscover their authentic selves.

Drawing from over two decades of experience working with clients, Leah challenges common misconceptions about narcissistic relationships and codependency. Rather than focusing solely on the narcissist’s behavior, Leah dives deeply into BOTH parties’ behavior, since breaking those patterns is the key to making lasting change.

Leah emphasizes how important it is for the non-narcissistic partner to examine his/her own behavior patterns, energy imbalances, and childhood wounds that may be causing them to attract and maintain difficult relationships.

Leah's practical approach combines energy healing with concrete techniques for building healthy boundaries, developing self-confidence, and recognizing relationship "green flags" - like emotional availability and acting from desire rather than need. Through her work, clients have transformed challenging relationships, found fulfilling careers, and even overcome fertility struggles by addressing their energetic blocks.

If you’re struggling in a high-conflict relationship, this podcast episode may hold the key that will totally transform your relationships and your life.

When your marriage crumbles, figuring out how to effectively parent with your ex can feel like navigating a minefield. Co-parenting counseling, an approach that helps divorced couples prioritize their children's needs over their own complicated emotions, can help.

In this podcast episode licensed professional counselor Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez explains how.

Co-parenting counselors are licensed mental health professionals who provide expert recommendations and guidance to help parents communicate better and make child-focused decisions.

Unlike court-appointed parenting coordinators, co-parenting counselors don’t have the authority to adjudicate disputes or enforce parenting agreements. They do, however, have the skills and ability to help parents create a functional new family dynamic where both parents can learn to work together for their children's wellbeing.

If you’re searching for practical strategies for navigating common co-parenting dilemmas, such as setting boundaries, managing emotions, and creating actionable goals that prioritize children’s well-being, this episode may provide the answers you seek. Co-parenting counseling can help you transform your contentious parental dynamics into a productive partnership, helping you and your spouse align on critical parenting decisions.

If you or someone you know is experiencing parenting challenges, this podcast episode just might change everything for you.
