The Terri Cole Show

Best-selling author Kris Carr is one of my nearest and dearest. We go way back to my talent agent days (I represented her). Kris's newest book, I'm Not A Mourning Person: Braving Loss, Grief, and the Big Messy Emotions That Happen When Life Falls Apart, is a beautiful read. I could not put it down, and I lived a lot of this book with Kris as it was happening. If you are experiencing grief of any kind, whether due to the loss of a loved one, the loss of your former self, or the loss of a job, I think you'll enjoy this heartfelt conversation.

Have you ever wondered, "Who am I, and why am I here?" If so, this interview is for you, my friend. I am beyond excited to have Dr. Sara Kuburic, better known as The Millennial Therapist on Instagram, on the show to talk about her new book, It's On Me: Accept Hard Truths, Discover Your Self, and Change Your Life. Sarah is an existential therapist and has had a lifelong interest in psychology. This book was inspired by a loss of self she experienced in her twenties, which she also saw in her therapy clients. If you've felt meaningless or purposeless, like you don't know yourself, then I invite you to tune in as Sara offers many tips on how to discover your sense of self. I've loved her work for a while and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/541

A few weeks ago, Jonah Hill's ex-girlfriend, Sarah Brady, shared a bunch of text messages he sent her when they were dating. Among them was the above list of "boundaries." As you can imagine, this stirred up a lot of discussion online. I fell into a Reddit hole about it and was stunned by the amount of misinformation out there about boundaries. People are truly unaware of the differences between coercion, abuse, effective boundaries, and control, which is what this episode is about. I also talk about the signs of coercive control to watch for and why the Jonah Hill situation is more manipulative than it may seem. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/536

I am excited to share this conversation I had with fascia expert and Pilates Pro, Lauren Roxburgh. My sister and I were turned onto Lauren's work at the beginning of the pandemic, and I intuitively knew fascia health was the missing link in my wellness. I love stalking Lauren's Instagram page to see what new practices I can integrate into my routine. This conversation was fascinating as Lauren shares the newest fascia research with us and explains how it has the potential to impact every aspect of our lives. (and bodies!)
