Jealousy, Relationship Baggage, and Rewriting Your Story with Psychotherapist & Author Lori Gottlieb (Part 1)

Today’s guest might have one of the world’s longest waiting lists, but Lo is skipping the line and getting some on-the-mic therapy for both himself and his beloved Lo Lifers! Lori Gottlieb is an incredible psychotherapist, New York Times bestselling author, TED speaker, and co-host of the extremely popular podcast Dear Therapists. When it comes to rewriting our stories and shifting our narratives, Lori is the go-to expert to help her clients, listeners, and readers gain the mindset shift they often desperately need. In this episode, Lo and Lori are opening up and giving advice on everything from navigating differences within our families to leaning into the envy that comes with comparison culture to finding the therapist that is right for you. 

Even though she might seem like she’s been doing this forever, Lori wasn’t always in the therapy field. She actually started her career in entertainment and only shifted to therapy once she realized that real-life stories interested her far more than those on our TV screens. Since then, Lori has been helping clients, readers, and listeners rewrite the faulty narratives we so often tell ourselves when it comes to our relationships, our careers, and our overall lives. How do we not take our baggage into new relationships? How can we speak to our families about hot-button issues? What do we do with our anxious and depressed feelings? Lo is asking Lori questions that the Lo Lifers might not have even known they needed answers to. This extremely informative and eye-opening episode will have you getting excited for your next, or maybe even your first, therapy session.
