  • The Messy World of Eating Disorders and Recovery with Expert Mallary Tenore Tarpley
    2025/08/08

    We often experience or hear about eating disorders. We talk about them--often behind closed doors--as if they're something to be ashamed of and ignored. Yet eating disorders--like all mental issues--are complex, highly challenging, and often resistant to change. They deserve our attention. And for anyone who's been mired in an eating disorder or has had a friend or family member struggle with this issue you know how devastating they can be. And in every case I've seen, the road to recovery is not a straight trajectory--it's a wobbly path filled with hurdles, small steps forward, and plenty of slips along the way. Yet, with perseverance and support, people may ultimately recover from--or at least get a good handle on--this serious issue that significantly impacts both mental and physical health. Dr. Carla Manly is joined by author, journalist, and assistant professor Mallary Tenore Tarpley, who offers a groundbreaking paradigm to help those living with--and recovering from--eating disorders. Topics discussed include eating disorders, eating disorder recovery, mental health issues, bulimia, anorexia, anorexia nervosa, physical health, binging, purging, disordered eating, healing, recovery, addiction, depression, anxiety, mental health support, college, life changes, stress, support groups, individual therapy, eating disorder specialists, psychotherapy, and family support.

  • What Happened to My Sex Life? Discover How to Reconnect with Dr. Kate Balestrieri
    2025/08/01

    Sex tends to be an important, connective aspect of intimate relationships. But all too often, couples find that they have different sex drives or encounter other sexual issues that leave one or both partners feeling stressed or dissatisfied. This can be especially troublesome when a couple experiences great sex while dating – an indicator that sexual compatibility is high – only to face an inexplicable disconnection down the line. Over time, I've found that even when other aspects of a romantic relationship are going well, a disruption in sexual intimacy can have far-reaching effects, including reducing self-esteem, fostering resentment, and even triggering infidelity.


    Today, I'm joined by Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a top-notch psychologist, certified sex therapist, and author who will help us uncover the secrets to healthy – and happy – sexual intimacy. Topics discussed include sex, sexual intimacy, trauma, connection, love languages, touch, desire discrepancy, libido, low sex drive, menopause, perimenopause, depression, self-protection, defense mechanisms, stress, guilt, blame, shame, passion, desire, fidelity agreement, infidelity, solo sex, date nights, massage, self-pleasure, intimacy, and communication.

  • Banish Burnout and Boost Self-Care with Expert Janice Litvin
    2025/07/25
    81. 83. 49. 66. What do these figures have in common? They all relate to burnout--that sense of being utterly depleted, worn out, and chronically exhausted. Recent research shows that work burnout affects 81% of those between ages 18 - 24, 83% of those who are 25 - 34, and 49% of those over 55. When averaged, a whopping 66 percent of working adults report experiencing burnout. Even worse, these figures don't account for groups such as full-time (stay-at-home) parents, family caregivers, and undocumented workers who often experience significant levels of stress and burnout. And while there is no magic cure for burnout, there are steps we can take to minimize the stress and negative cycles that tend to feed the burnout phenomenon. Join Dr. Carla and seasoned burnout expert Janice Litvin who will give us well-honed tools to help us stop burnout in its tracks--and move forward in healthy ways. Topics discussed include self-awareness, self-care, burnout, stress, journaling, intergenerational patterns, family dynamics, work environment, work, bosses, human resources, support, full-time caregivers, stay-at-home parents, full-time parenting, commute, working from home, work environment, human resources, community support, mentors, support groups, burnout prevention, self-assessment, empowerment, personal power, over-reacting, triggers, victim mentality, attitude, empowerment, and personal power. *Statistics referenced can be found here.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.
