Episode 266 - "Mapping Human Connection: An Introduction to Sociometry with Brian Stefan"

What if you could chart the invisible threads that connect us—who we trust, who we avoid, who we feel closest to in a group? In this eye-opening episode, Michelle and Scott are joined by special guest Brian Stefan for a fascinating look into the world of Sociometry. Developed by Jacob L. Moreno, Sociometry is the science of human relationships—a method for mapping emotional connections and uncovering the hidden dynamics in groups. Together, we explore how Sociometry reveals unspoken alliances, emotional distance, and group cohesion—and how this tool can be used to build trust, promote healing, and create more intentional communities. Whether you're a therapist, a team leader, or just curious about what makes human connection tick, this conversation will change how you see the space between you and others.

Episode 265 - "The Art of Saying No: Setting Boundaries Without Guilt"

Why is saying "no" so hard—and why does it feel like we're doing something wrong when we do? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the emotional and cultural pressure to say “yes” even when we’re overwhelmed, uncomfortable, or simply not interested. You’ll learn why setting boundaries is not only healthy, it’s essential for protecting your time, energy, and well-being. They'll talk about the psychology behind guilt, how to spot when you're overextending yourself, and practical, graceful ways to say no without burning bridges. Whether you're a chronic people-pleaser or just want to reclaim your space, this episode will help you honor your limits with clarity, confidence, and kindness.

Episode 264 - "Liberation and Renewal"

In this special holiday episode, Michelle and Scott explore the transformative messages of Passover and Palm Sunday. Both holidays, though rooted in different traditions, inviting us to reflect on the themes of liberation, renewal, and hope. We'll examine how the rituals of Passover—symbolizing the journey from oppression to freedom—encourage us to release old burdens and embrace personal growth, while Palm Sunday celebrates the arrival of hope, humility, and the promise of new beginnings. Whether you observe these holidays or are simply drawn to their universal messages, join us as we uncover practical ways to embody these timeless lessons in everyday life, fostering resilience, gratitude, and a deeper sense of purpose.
