Have you ever felt a tug in your gut, urging you to take a leap into the unknown? That's the siren call of intuition, a force that Dr. Carolyn and I, Chantée Christian, dissect through candid conversation and shared experiences. Our anecdotes reveal how leaning into intuition not only propels us forward but also fosters personal growth.

Parenting comes with its own set of trials, often entangled with guilt and self-doubt when our children struggle. We peel back the layers of these complex emotions, offering solace and understanding to parents grappling with feelings of blame.

We celebrate intuition's role as an invisible compass in our decision-making process. Listen as we unpack the synergy between intuition and support, and why embracing both can transform the paths we tread.

Ever grappled with daddy issues and the societal pressure to always people-please? It's okay, many of us can relate. We've all had our share of struggles and have strived to rise above them. Join us as we welcome Christian, a renowned licensed therapist and the force behind Couch with Christian, to share her powerful journey of healing from daddy issues and her mission to aid women in reclaiming their lives.

Career changes are a reality for many, but how we navigate these transitions can shape our sense of self-worth and accomplishment. We've all been there - feeling the weight of societal expectations and the fear of not living up to them. We'll explore ways to set boundaries and live a life that aligns with your passions and purpose.

Christian's insights will cast a fresh light on the impact of generational beliefs and behaviors, and how by understanding our relationships with our parents, we can break the chains of perfectionism and inadequacy.

Ever asked yourself why men often bottle up their feelings? Does it have anything to do with societal expectations and traditional gender roles? You're not alone. Join me, Chantée Christian, and men's mental health guru, Elise Micheals, as we break down the complexities of men's mental health, particularly the obstacles they face in asking for help. Elise, using her vast experience, gives an enlightening perspective on how societal conditioning has forced men into silence.

We delve into the intriguing world of gender roles and power dynamics, focusing on scenarios where women out-earn their partners. You'd be surprised at how this stirs up feelings of competition, insecurity, and even emasculation in men. Elise and I offer tangible solutions on how both genders can learn to support each other emotionally and mentally, defying traditional gender roles.

We illustrate how childhood trauma can shape our adult relationships and behaviors in unexpected ways. We emphasize the power of self-awareness in dealing with triggers and miscommunications. Tune in and let's redefine the dynamics between men and women, one conversation at a time.
