Ep. 248 ENOUGH WITH THE ‘HAVE TO’S’29 Sep 202500:32:53

In this episode of the podcast, Vanessa and Dené talk about the ways in which we are all being challenged to stay with ourselves through the discomfort of releasing the things we have been holding as certain. 

we talk about:

  • why it becomes necessary to be in acceptance of loss for us to show up authentically in relationships 
  • how our culture conditions us to be in a constant space of preoccupation- often in an attempt to defend against the fear of endings 
  • how we are collectively being invited to come into an acceptance of the nature of impermanence 
  • the very human desire to cling to the known when we are about to step into the next phase of our development 

..and so much more!

Ep 247 AMERICA’S COLLECTIVE EGO DEATH22 Sep 202500:49:15

In this week’s episode, Vanessa and Dené talk about the energy that is being felt by so many of us as we move through what many astrologers are calling a ‘turning point’ eclipse season.  

we talk about:

  • the immense amount of shadow work we’ve been asked to dive into in the midst of the current eclipse season
  • the dehumanization that starts to come up when we place people on pedestals 
  • how we are being asked to look at where we’ve outsourced our sense of security to other people 
  • how our disappointment in others often reflect where we’ve left expectations unexpressed

Ep 188: BEST-OF: What Does My Inner Child Need?


Our 2nd “best of” is one of our live coaching episodes. 


We dive into: what codependency and anxious attachment often look in real life—and why they’re so hard to untangle a roadmap for staying with discomfort instead of outsourcing soothing—without shame.

Ep 148 Expanding the Sexual Narrative with Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons, PhD12 Apr 202300:58:25

Dr. Candice is an award winning Psychologist, Sexologist, and Professor of counseling psychology and researcher of sexual wellness and liberation, host of two dope ass podcasts “Fuck the System” and “How to Love a Human.” She has also been published over 50 times. 

 

Some Big Takeaways from Our Conversation with Dr. Candice:


  • Racial Discrepancies in Sexuality: The differences between growing up and experimenting with your relationship to sexuality as young Black woman vs a young white woman  
  • Socioeconomic Status Matters: We discuss the socioeconomic narratives, and social norms in those spaces, that shape opinions around certain sexual experiences, and how that shapes someone’s relationship to sexuality as they grow 
  • Prioritize Your Pleasure: Let’s flip the script on performative sexual experiences and the importance of prioritizing pleasure for yourself
  • Choosing Sex vs Choosing Partnership: Patriarchal limitations that attempt to differentiate partnered and unpartnered women, and the social norms that attempt to devalue women who are ‘chosen’ sexually but not ‘chosen’ for partnerships 

  • 🎙This podcast is definitely Cheaper than Therapy

    Ep 147 Q&A Session: Creating Boundaries with Ourselves07 Apr 202300:20:33

    This is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners. In today’s episode, we’re helping two listeners with questions that arise around potentially ending a long term relationship. 


    We’re discussing:

  • Recognizing cyclical patterns in relationships and the difficulty we often have interrupting our patterns unless something comes into play that forces us to address it 
  • Falling in love with potential instead of paying attention to what the dynamic feels like in our day-to-day lives
  • Doing the inner work to balance the feminine energy of clinging when we feel uneasy vs the masculine energy of creating firm boundaries and cultivating self respect
  • The societal pressures of being measured by whether we are in a relationship, regardless of whether that relationship is healthy or fulfilling
  • Finding what your motivation is to stay, and whether or not you have space to grow while in relationship with this person
  • And allowing yourself to be in grief and your inner wisdom to guide you in the process of uncoupling 

  • If you have a question or topic you’d like us to address, we would love to hear from you for our new Q+A series! Email us at cheaperthantherapythepod@gmail.com

    Ep 146 Embodying Love with Vicky Vox05 Apr 202301:14:28

    Vicky Vox is a profound healer, a performer, spiritual empowermentor, a psychic medium, and a sorceress. She has spent a lifetime inspiring others through her work in the arts, standing unapologetically in the truth of her gifts, and raising the vibrational frequency to one of love and acceptance in every single space she enters. 


    We sat down to talk with Vicky about:


    1. Navigating a world that feels against you when your spiritual and physical bodies don’t align with the conditioned limitations of those around you


    2. The importance of decolonizing our therapeutic models in an attempt to provide safe spaces for those outside of the narrow landscape of who the western therapeutic modalities were designed to serve


    3. The ways that our society often attacks those who model a radical acceptance of self, for holding up a mirror to the ways we have been conditioned to reject the deepest truths of who we are


    4. How the integration of our masculine and feminine energetics can serve as a means to investigate and know ourselves more fully


    Vicky is pure magic in human form, and we are so excited to share her incredibly profound wisdom through this conversation.

    Ep 144 Unapologetically a Man with Traver Boehm29 Mar 202301:02:35

    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?24 Mar 202300:24:44

    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. Shefali22 Mar 202300:29:22

    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 Addiction18 Mar 202300:34:01

    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 Lotemo15 Mar 202301:02:49

    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!

    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


    Check out that Buzzfeed article here.

    Ep 136 Live Coaching Session: Be The Chooser, Not the Chosen01 Mar 202300:37:07

    In this live coaching session, we sat down with Jane to talk about some struggles she’s been having with infidelity in relationships and her own self-trust. 


    We explore:


    1. How to create safety within ourselves and what that looks like, so that we are able to recognize safety, or lack thereof in relation to others


    2. The opportunity to love ourselves so fully that we won’t allow anyone in our sphere who doesn’t mirror that same love back to us


    3. What happens when we remove our negative self-talk and hold ourselves in grace and compassion while in an unwanted repeated pattern, and how that can help us in the future


    and so much more!

    Ep 135 Trusting in Your Wisdom with Imani Tutt22 Feb 202301:12:20

    Imani Tutt is a Marriage and Family Therapist, an Intuitive, a Content Creator, and an incredibly powerful conduit in supporting those she works with in tapping into their innate wisdom and power. Imani specializes in working with those who are committed to exploring their journey through the process of self examination. She believes that everyone has the power to change when they give themselves the opportunity. 


    We sat down with Imani to talk about:


    1. How her experience of the differentiation process and stepping into her gifts mirrors what so many of us have been experiencing on a collective level 


    2. The expectations of grief and empowerment that come from realization that no one is coming to save us but ourselves


    3. Why similar values can be a greater indication of comparability than the different color flags we’ve been conditioned to look for when seeking a partner


    and so much more!

    Ep 134 Growing Through Self-Sabotage15 Feb 202300:23:10

    This week’s episode is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners. This week we’re discussing:


    1. What it means to self-sabotage and the different ways this can show up in our lives and relationships. 


    2. How we can challenge ourselves to confront our shadow-self in order to pinpoint triggers and self-limiting beliefs and behaviors so that we can practice new patterns, even in a society that conditions us to quiet our self-love.


    3. The freedom that can come from the possibility that self-sabotage is not a real concept, and that we are in a constant state of learning, evolving, and finding what’s in alignment with our truest selves.

    Ep 130 Defining Interdependence18 Jan 202300:57:56

    In this solo episode, Vanessa and Dené passed a miniature microphone back and forth in the car to record a conversation they were having on the way to their New Year's retreat.


    They talked about:


    1. How their perspective on interdependence differs from the ways others describe it in several personal development and psychology spaces.  


    2. How a woman’s experience of safety in a relationship can have a lot to do with the emotional load she is carrying.


    3. Why most of us are actually taking on way more in our day-to-day lives than is meant to be sustainable for our nervous systems.


    Mental health professionals, we referenced in this episode:


    Dr. Ellyn Bader / The Couples Institute

    Ep. 129 Self-Expansion Without A Partnership11 Jan 202300:38:19

    This episode is part of a series where we coach one of our listeners through a topic or question. In this coaching session, we sat down with “Anne” to talk about the internal struggle that comes from the societal norm to feel incomplete without a partnership.


    If you’re interested in joining us for a coaching session, click here.


    Some Takeaways from this Episode:

  • Differentiating Between Comfort vs Ease: There’s comfort in choosing the societal norm to be in partnership, but ease can be found when we accept that maybe this point in our lives is more about self-expansion rather than comfort
  • Expand on Our Healing: Unpack what the conditioned desire to be chosen for a partnership brings up for us in the context of our healing
  • Surrendering to What Is: Embracing the work of surrendering to the emotional turbulence as waves we will continue to ride throughout our healing journey in this lifetime

  • 🎙This podcast is definitely Cheaper than Therapy

    Ep 128 Understanding the Feeling you Want to Feel with Flynn Skidmore04 Jan 202301:02:53

    Flynn Skidmore is a therapist, content creator, and business mentor who specializes in helping people create lasting change in their lives, faster. Through Flynn’s courses, community driven content, and work with individuals he finds that clients deepen their self-acceptance and start taking tangible action steps toward getting unstuck. 


    We sat down with Flynn to talk about:


    1. Figuring out what it is we actually desire to feel in relationships so that we can come up with the best strategy for accomplishing that desired feeling.


    2. The resistance that often accompanies the realization that we are the creator of our own experience.


    3. Why it might be helpful to explore what we are doing or who we are with when we like being who we are the most, instead of simply attempting to be an authentic version of ourselves.

    2. the opportunities for building resilience that are lost when we protect those we love from difficulty


    3. how important it is to hold ourselves with compassion in the moments that we’re being controlling, understanding that the need to control is usually linked to our desire to create a sense of safety

    Ep 122 How We Process Pain23 Nov 202200:40:58

    Ep.122 How we process pain 


    In this solo episode, we sat down to unpack some of the feedback we got on one of our recent episodes.


    We discuss:


    1. The differentiation between allowing ourselves time to fully feel the most challenging moments in our lives vs letting those moments define us.


    2. How what we’re grappling with on an individual level is so often mirrored by what we struggle with as a collective


    3. Our perspectives on how therapy is currently being utilized and how self-help can sometimes turn into one more external source of dependency.

    Ep 121 Bringing the Focus Back Inward16 Nov 202200:38:34

    In this live coaching session, we sat down with Steven to talk about the issues of betrayal and differing levels of desire within a marriage. 


    We explore:


  • how our attachment wounds inevitably start to play out in our adult relationships and how understanding our codependent tendencies becomes the first step we take toward our own healing
  • why the people in our lives often start taking us for granted if we’re not treating ourselves with love and respect first
  • the importance of maintaining a sense of autonomy - our own interests, communities, and practices of self-care - both inside and outside of a relationship

  • We were so grateful to Steven for being so open about a relationship topic that so many of us are grappling with every single day.

    Ep 120 How to be Loving with Danielle LaPorte09 Nov 202200:52:47

    Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100—a group that, in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.” The former director of a future studies think tank in Washington, DC, where she managed a team creating global scenarios. She now speaks about the intelligence of the heart. Her most recent book, How To Be Loving… when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up, is also an audiobook + eBook, with a companion deck and journal. Danielle is also the author of The Fire Starter Sessions, The Desire Map, White Hot Truth, and the producer of dozens of meditation kits and online programs for spiritual support.


    We sat down with Danielle to explore:


    1. why feeling fulfilled has nothing to do with your mood and holding love as a state of consciousness


    2. understanding karma as a way that the Universe brings everything back into balance and not the punishment model we’re taught to think it is


    3. how our perspective shifts when we start to live in the felt experience that God is in everything

    Ep 119 What does it mean to be spiritual?02 Nov 202200:46:28

    In this solo episode, Vanessa and Dené hit record on one of their conversations during a recent trip they took to Hawaii. 


    They explore:


  • how each of them has defined their own relationship to spirituality
  • why it might not be helpful to demand perfectionism of ourselves and others when attempting to understand our cultural differences
  • how the work of spiritual seeking is ultimately about staying in the space of curiosity and remembering that each of us are always doing the best that we can with our current understanding

    Ep 118 Living from Your Deepest Core by Integrating Your Deepest Shadows with Jeremie Lotemo26 Oct 202201:11:32

    Jeremie Lotemo is a poet, writer, and coach who utilizes his insights on relational dynamics to help men live from their deepest core. Through his writing, his podcast, 1:1 coaching and building community, Jeremie supports others in the integration of their deepest shadows. We sat down with Jeremie to discuss:

     

    1.  The invisible initiation society puts young boys through, where they are socialized to sever their authenticity in an attempt to maintain a sense of acceptance and connection to other men. 

     

    2.  How women can support the men in their lives by seeing them in the highest vision of who they are, and exchanging the desire to mother them for a practice of allowing compassion and boundaries to exist at the same time.   

     

    3.   How understanding our partner’s attachment style and wounding can expand our own capacity to lean into moments of discomfort and grow our ability to stand in the fire of our relationships in order to allow something to be purified.

     

    4.  Why it’s so important to understand how the mother wound shows up in men, and the ways that it’s impacting so many men’s ability to find fulfillment in their relationships, as well as within themselves.


    Jeremie’s work offers such powerful insights into what’s underneath so many of the relationship challenges we face. We know you are going to love this conversation as much as we did. 

    You can connect with Jeremie on social @byermeas or hear some more of his incredible wisdom by subscribing to his podcast, Gates of Perception Podcast, available wherever you listen to your podcasts.

    Ep 117 The Rise of the Feminine is Good for All of Us19 Oct 202200:44:17

    Cheaper than Therapy is back for Season 3!

     

    In this solo episode, Vanessa and Dené talk about what they’ve been up to during the podcast’s hiatus and some of the patterns they’ve noticed coming up lately in conversations. They discuss:

     

    1.  What it feels like to be witnessing a massive reclaiming of the feminine energy that the current patriarchal structure of society has conditioned us to suppress.

     

    2.  What it means to shift from the practice of looking outside of ourselves for answers to beginning to live a life governed by an inner authority.

     

    3.  The shifts we’re seeing collectively in terms of people really starting to question for themselves what will bring an authentic sense of fulfillment – in work, in relationships, and in their lives in general.

     

    4.  The idea that some of the changes we’ve been facing as a society have been in service of bringing all of us – regardless of how we identify in terms of gender – in alignment with the reclamation of the feminine.

    Ep 114 Screaming To Be Heard - Live from the TAT Lab21 Jul 202200:49:00

    In this episode, Dené drops in on a TAT Lab session on codepency led by Vanessa. We discuss the differentiation between intentions and outcomes, the codependent survival strategy of making ourselves and our needs smaller to maintain connections, the importance of not deciding for others which truths they can tolerate hearing, and asking ourselves, “what do I imagine it would feel like if I actually felt like I was heard?


    We loved having the opportunity to bring our TAT LAB community in on one of our conversations, and we know you’ll have some of your own takeaways after hearing the processing we did together as a group.

    Ep 113 Relational Dynamics with Bryan Reeves13 Jul 202201:03:14

    Bryan Reeves is a former US Air Force Captain turned life coach, author, podcast host, and blogger with over 30 million readers. Since 2014, he has been coaching couples and men to help them discover and live out their dreams. His new book “Choose Her Every Day (Or Leave Her)”, discusses men’s challenges with intimacy and boundaries and thriving in intimate relationships.


    We talked with Bryan about what happens in a society where we look to our intimate relationships to be the containers in which we find adulthood - when that’s not what they’re supposed to be for, the trouble with us attempting to maintain a “two person village,” the healing that comes from men learning to trust other men after a lifetime of experiences that have taught them not to, and why we’re drawn to partners that have the qualities we long to experience within ourselves - but then we immediately reject those qualities within them.


    This conversation provided potent insight into the ‘why’ behind the relational dynamics we’ve all struggled with. We know you’re going to find it as valuable as we did.


    You can connect with Bryan on social media @bryanreevesinsights or through his website bryanreeves.com. His book, “Choose Her Every Day (Or Leave Her)”, is available for purchase through all major online booksellers. Bryan also hosts the podcast, “Men, This Way”, available wherever you listen to your podcasts.

    Ep 112 Shifting Relationship Paradigms06 Jul 202200:41:24

    In this solo episode, we hit record on a passionate conversation we were having based on some questions we received from all of you. We dove into the question, “what do I do if my partner no longer finds me attractive”, to unpack the social and cultural pressures placed on what monogamy “should” be. 


    We love having conversations about various ways of breaking out of codependent paradigms and cultivating relationships that not only support our growth - but are in alignment with our authentic values. We hope this episode leaves you with some questions to explore for yourself and those you’re in relationship with, and challenges you to think about what kind of partnership would feel most true to who you are becoming.

    Ep 110 The Layers of Our Vulnerability - Live Coaching Session23 Jun 202201:12:17

    In this live coaching session, we sit down for our first-ever couples coaching session with Gloria and Jay to talk about their struggles with navigating parenting and vulnerability in the midst of a developing relationship. 


    We talk with them about the value in modeling acceptance of our imperfections for our children, the fears that inevitably come to the surface when we’ve found someone to love, normalizing the challenges of parenting adolescents - who feel ambivalent in their need for you, but resisting you at the same time, and staying committed to what they’re creating for themselves in the sacred space of their relationship. 


    This is such a potent episode, whether you’re a parent or not, there’s something that we can all relate to.

    Ep 234: Friendships & Goodbyes18 Sep 202400:47:22

    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


    🎙This podcast is definitely Cheaper than Therapy

    In this live coaching session, we sit down with Kay to talk about control and her struggles and frustrations with letting go of it both at home and at work.

    In this live coaching session, we sit down with Liz about her recent separation and her struggles with co-parenting and navigating her family’s new reality.


    We talk about reframing our narratives around what a family ‘should’ look and operate like, challenging ourselves to ask what love would say when we start to feel fear come to the surface, holding the complexity of grief and multiple truths existing about our situation at one time, and knowing that our lives are what we decide they are.
