Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené
Gamut Podcast Network
Frequency: 1 episode/8d. Total Eps: 248
Vanessa Bennett and Dené Logan are two soul sisters and therapists who connected over their shared love of depth psychology—known as the psychology of the soul. It is a template for diving beneath the surface to examine the complex natures of being human while on the quest for wholeness, including the relationship to spirit. Through their training and lived experiences with depth, yogic psychology, and mindfulness, they developed a passion for supporting others in living their most authentic lives while cultivating a fulfilling and rich relationship with the Self, capital “S.”
Every Wednesday, Vanessa and Dené look to demystify, de-stigmatize, and desensitize what goes on both inside the therapy room and in daily life, through soul-provoking conversations with fellow seekers, thought leaders, changemakers, and real people during live coaching sessions as they navigate the hard work it takes to be a human.
This podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy.

Ep 244 Are People Partying Less?
Episode 244
lundi 1 septembre 2025 • Duration 25:09
In this week’s episode, Vanessa gives Dené a recap of her time spent at a bachelorette party over the weekend. We explore some of the trends - and possible factors impacting - why millennials may have a different relationship with alcohol than older generations.
We discuss:
-Whether studies suggesting that gen Z is consuming less alcohol than millennials are pointing to an awakening of consciousness or feeling more self-conscious about making mistakes.
- If the younger generation are being raised with a lower tolerance for discomfort.
- What some of the positive outcomes could potentially be from discomfort that parents may be robbing their children of experiencing.

Ep 243 How Can I Be love?
Episode 243
lundi 25 août 2025 • Duration 40:38
We sat down to explore some of the challenges that come up living in a culture where we are exposed and reacting to so many people lives, perspectives and ultimately ways of negotiating conflict.
We discuss:
-the challenges that we’re facing as a culture that struggles to allow for diversity of thought
-holding ourselves with compassion even as others may be holding us with judgement
-how we honor the unique nature of our Souls blueprint instead of feeling like we are all meant to be the same
-what it looks like to take responsibility for being a conduit to the world I want to see instead of pushing against current circumstances

Episode 234
mercredi 18 septembre 2024 • Duration 47:22
Ep 234: Friendships & Goodbyes
In this emotional and reflective episode of Cheaper than Therapy the Podcast, we discuss the cycles of relationships, touching on our personal friendship dynamics and the upcoming conclusion of Cheaper than Therapy the Podcast after an incredible 4 years.
What You’ll Gain from this Episode:
✨ An emphasis on the importance of prioritizing friendships over romantic relationships, which often get placed on a societal pedestal, and how our friendship has thrived because of our commitment to this mindset
✨The cyclical nature of relationships, using the metaphor of a spiral to illustrate how old wounds and dynamics resurface, but with each turn of the spiral, they move further from the center, showing growth and healing
✨Exploring the concept of respecting where each person is in their development and capacity to engage in relationships, and how recognizing that capacity in one another helps prevent the ego from taking a “one-up” position, allowing for empathy and understanding
✨The conclusion of Cheaper than Therapy the Podcast after 4 years together, our immense gratitude for this journey, our guests, and you - the amazing community we’ve built together

Ep 144 Unapologetically a Man with Traver Boehm
Episode 144
mercredi 29 mars 2023 • Duration 01:02:35
Traver Boehm is the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement, author of Today I Rise, Man UNcivilized, and a two-time TEDx speaker, men’s coach and podcaster.
Traver draws upon an eclectic background ranging from work as a professional bodyguard, Mixed Martial Artist, and utilizing his Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese MEdicine and Meditation. Traver counsels men, women, and couples on how to better understand men’s health and relationship difficulties.
We sat down to talk with Traver about:
1. Why we need to work to see that the current paradigm that insists that men are broken is itself broken
2. The importance of a man’s ability to dance with his darkness to understand it - so that his darkness doesn’t lead him blindly
3. Expanding the archetypes that men are able to embody beyond those of either the “Marlboro Man” or “The Sensitive New Age Guy
4. How women are best able to support the men in their lives in standing in their power and embracing their capacity to heal
Traver provides such a vital perspective on what is required for all of us to heal our collective wounding around how we define masculinity, and we know you’re going to find his ability to model integrated leadership as inspiring as we did!

Ep 143 Q&A Session: Is Being Needed Negative?
Episode 143
vendredi 24 mars 2023 • Duration 24:44
This episode is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners. Today’s question is: Why is it such a bad thing for your partner to need you and not just choose you?
We’re discussing:
1. Turning the question on yourself - why do you want to be needed?
2. The idea that the feeling of being needed, in any chosen relationship, gives us a sense of purpose and/or false sense of identity
3. How to reclaim your ability to be okay with the unknown and the possibility that somebody could leave you, in a romantic or platonic relationship, and still feel fulfilled within yourself

Ep 142 Conscious Parenting with Dr. Shefali
Episode 142
mercredi 22 mars 2023 • Duration 29:22
We had an opportunity to do an Instagram Live with Dr. Shefali, three time New York Times best-sellers author, including her two landmark books The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family.
We sat down to talk about her most recent book, The Parenting Map, and:
1. The importance of raising our children to be sovereign beings, rather than a possession that fit into our idealized parenting fantasies
2. Shifting our parenting paradigms from being in control to being in charge, and what that tangibly looks like
3. The difference between ego-enhancing boundaries and life-enhancing boundaries in parenting
4. What to do when your parenting paradigm/style doesn’t align with your partners, and what that means for your children
Dr. Shefali is such a wise and lovely light. We know that you’re going to be as inspired by this conversation as we were!

Ep 141 Q&A: Trauma Bonds and Addiction
Episode 141
samedi 18 mars 2023 • Duration 34:01
Trauma Bonds and Addiction is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners.
In this episode, we’re discussing:
1. The longstanding concept that drugs, alcohol, and other types of addictions can be a way to feel more in touch with Self/Source and numb the feelings of inadequacy
2. How safety in chosen relationships can initially come from a place of societal conditioning of needing/longing to be accepted and fit in, and how we can dig deeper to examine how our subconscious mind relates to others
3. The possibility that all chosen relationships have some form of trauma bond stemming from our Original Wound that we are separate from Self/Source

Ep 140 Talking Sexual Entitlement with Jeremie Lotemo
Episode 140
mercredi 15 mars 2023 • Duration 01:02:49
Jeremie Lotemo is a Transformation Coach who supports both men and women with cultivating tools to create radical, lasting changes in their lives and relationships.
We are thrilled to have Jeremie joining us for a second time after the incredible response we had to our first conversation with him (ep. 118).
We sat down to talk about:
1. The insights he gained after making the conscious decision to be celibate for over a year
2. The ancestral trauma that is often being perpetuated in the unconscious sexual patterns that have become far too common place in modern day society
3. How all of us can challenge ourselves to bring a beginners mind into our relationships instead of making the assumption that we have nothing more to learn
Jeremie is an absolute force and consistently brings the most nuanced wisdom to the perspectives that he offers. We know that you’re going to be as moved by this conversation as we were!

Ep 139 What it Means to Feel Seen
Episode 139
vendredi 10 mars 2023 • Duration 40:55
In this solo episode, we take a look at a Buzzfeed opinion article that examines the idea that kissing and cuddling can feel like a contract for sex.
In this episode we discuss:
1. The unspoken expectations for sexual intimacy that, many women feel come with any physical contact from our partners
2. The common differences in how men and women get to a place where they feel emotionally safe enough to express themselves sexually
3. How to find an integrated balance between our inner masculine and feminine, where both people - regardless of gender - feel safe enough to fully “be” and express their needs and wants in relation to each other
