  • In this solo episode, I explore the nuances of male emotion, drawing on my personal experiences as well as the insights I've gleaned from my professional practice. I examine the biological and cultural factors that shape the male psyche, and why respecting each individual's unique emotional needs is crucial for fostering healthy, fulfilling relationships.

    As a psychotherapist who's spent over two decades working with male clients, I've witnessed firsthand the growing confusion and pressure that men face when it comes to emotional expression. In today's rapidly evolving social landscape, the expectations placed on men to be simultaneously stoic and sensitive have become increasingly complex and, at times, even contradictory.

    Get ready for an unflinching look at the challenges that men navigate, from the boardroom to the home front. Through empathy and understanding, we'll work to dismantle harmful stereotypes and empower men to proudly embrace the full spectrum of their feelings. After all, true strength lies not in the suppression of emotion, but in the courage to acknowledge it.

  • In this episode I discuss how striving to maintain balance between your work and personal life at any given time is essentially impossible. Instead, you need to see these two entities as being in a constant flux, and you need to respect that our world is constantly changing.

    There will be times where you are required more in one area of your life than another.

    It becomes easier when you realize there is no such thing as good or bad, right or wrong. Nothing is so black and white regarding individual personalities, values, and beliefs.

    What always does work, however, is when you simplify the situation using a feeling state called ‘compassion’. If you incorporate compassion into the golden rule, everyone wins in business and in life.

  • Not every conversation advocates for problem-solving or open displays of vulnerability. The only conversations that advocate for these behaviors are those in which change needs to happen. It is typical that in business, we have a problem-solving conversation—not one that calls for a lot of emotion or vulnerability. Why is that? Because we are focused on the end goal, we subsequently check our egos at the door into the boardroom. In business, we know we need to work as a team player or are kicked out of the tribe. A personal relationship can be vulnerable if we want to establish a deep connection. But most conversations that happen in the kitchen do not require a deep connection. You can plan those for date night. Most of the time, in our personal relationships, we just need to talk and work together to manage the mothership. We need to find the best solution for team WE, a.k.a. our family or our relationship. Unfortunately, team WE often gets kicked to the side in personal relationships and team I or ME sneaks in. What I want, what is best for ME, etc.

  • Alexander Harmsen is an experienced tech entrepreneur, CEO, board member, and advisor, having founded multiple successful companies and organizations. His work has seen him produce multiple AI-driven products, scale sales globally, hire world-class executives, manage hundreds of employees, raise over $30M in venture capital, and successfully navigate an M&A process. He is focused on hard problems that have a meaningful impact on the world, with 2 kids, and a wife who is equally as ambitious, running her own venture-backed pharma tech business.

    As I interviewed Alex, I saw many congruencies between running a good business and running a good relationship. If one person’s energy causes a cog in the wheel to break, the whole system can shut down. If one team member is not in sync with the rest of the team, the system will not work. Sometimes, the answer is not just to solve the problem as you would a math equation; it can be much more delicate than that. Alex has the same mindset as a skilled founder as he does as a partner and a dad. This conversation advocates for the willingness to be curious and take the time to answer the questions posed to you, whether it is from a team member, your child or your spouse. These little nuisances are worth investing your time into.

  • As a relationship therapist and coach, the topic of sex and the disagreements surrounding sex are not uncommonin my office. Mostly, the disagreement communicated to me is due to the lack of frequency from those who identify themselves as male in gender.

    As my guest, Elizabeth McGrath, a sex and relationship therapist and sexuality educator located in the Los Angeles area, explains so eloquently, sexuality and exploring one’s preferences, level of desire, and frequency widely varies across different individuals, as well as across the lifespan of the couples’ time together.

    Ms. McGrath works with individuals and couples, guiding them as they learn to value their own pleasure and overcome obstacles to satisfying sexual self-expression, resulting in exhilarating sex lives, embodied attachment and fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.

    In 2011, Elizabeth graduated with a master’s in social work and became a certified yoga instructor and somatic breath worker, which added a physical and breath-focused level to her work. Trained in the Somatica Method™, she speaks both locally and internationally about sexuality, gender, sexual expression and sexual performativity.

  • In this solo episode, I discuss how the most successful business owners, executives and team players listen more than they speak. These folks do not have the need to be the centre of attention. Instead, they become curious and inquisitive when speaking to their business or intimate partner. They are more interested in you than in themselves and their prerogatives.

    This is, of course, true in personal relationships. John Gottman, a well-known psychologist specializing in interpersonal relationships, often examined how conflict was resolved during political discussions during times of war, hoping to help his clients work through marital relationships. Great leaders listen more than they speak to influence their speaking partner.

    That’s the secret sauce.

  • Yes, I decide to close up this Podcast!

    In this final episode, I explain why. The health and wellness space is flooded with fear-inducing health claims, often implying that you need to invest in various products to improve your well-being. It’s making us stressed and may even be causing orthorexia for some.

    Very few people are telling you what you really need to hear, which is that you need to dumb down and simplify your life. This doesn’t cost you money and only requires common sense—not a biochemistry degree.

    I will continue to interview expert guests, just on another show. Listen in to learn more about why I am doing this and what my intentions are for the new show, Mixing Business With Pleasure.

  • In this episode, we explored many exciting and surprising points. However, they all circled back to one crucial theme: the importance of defining your purpose.

    This is the key to feeling fulfilled in your personal relationships and financial goals, and it's a journey that can inspire and motivate you.

    Andrew uses science and experience to validate his teachings in a way that is impossible to argue against. If you were to track the historical data over time, it would be all there—if you care to look at it. Doing so would provide you with great insight in to why you have found yourself in the state you are in right now. However, most people would rather ignore their spending habits and, possibly, their partners by going after instant gratification.

    Tune in to discover how listening, being curious, and avoiding a me-centric mindset can lead to more happiness and security in finances and personal relationships.

  • In true ‘Luella’ style, which some might call somewhat disorganized, I did a mind dump for this episode on all the reasons why you might be feeling lost and apathetic about life.

    This episode is for the person trying to find a sense of meaning and happiness in everyday life.

    In this episode, I uncover:

    The importance of having a sense of community while also spending more time in solitude. The need to connect with Source, albeit God or another higher power. Why is it never a means to an end but rather a journey that will feed the soul. How self-awareness is the first behavior you must strive towards in order to change. Most of humankind’s lack of focus keeps them in a scarcity loop. How abundance is already yours and how gratitude will allow you to see it.

  • Today, I had an enlightening conversation with Dennis Wong, a functional and integrative registered pharmacist, about the various manifestations of stress on a physiological, emotional, and mental level. We combined his expertise in pharmacy (the science) with my observations of stress in my therapy room (psychology).

    In essence, stress presents itself in physical and emotional signs, and it is crucial for us to heed these signals from our bodies on a daily basis, empowering us to take control of our well-being.

    Dennis is a seasoned Metabolic, Nutritional, and Functional Medicine Consultant Pharmacist committed to guiding individuals on their journey to optimal health and wellness. He leverages an in-depth understanding of the underlying causes of health issues, combining nutritional guidance and lifestyle enhancements to devise personalized solutions.

  • If you have never worked with a functional integrative dietician before to combat your ills, perhaps consider doing so. In today’s episode, Michelle and I discussed just some of the misguided information playing on various media channels, so you don’t need to continue to guess. We spoke about how stress plays a massive role in combating disease and made the argument it is not only one lifestyle factor playing a role in chronic illness; it is diet, exercise, social circles, sleep, environmental toxins, and possibly most importantly, stress.

    Michelle Shapiro is an Integrative/ Functional Registered Dietitian in NYC who has helped over 1000+ clients reverse their anxiety, heal long-standing gut and immune issues, and lovingly approach their weight. Michelle has a virtual private practice of 5 nutritionists where she and her team work one-on-one. She hosts the Quiet the Diet Podcast, where she helps her audience bridge the gap between body positivity and functional nutrition.
