This past March at @SXSW, Brené Brown and I had the opportunity to come together on the @Vox Media stage for a live recording of an episode of her podcast, “Unlocking Us.”We discussed how we manage the delicate balance of navigating the realm
Not all conversations with Esther have to happen behind closed doors. Last week, Esther sat down with Trevor Noah, live at SXSW in Austin on the Vox Media stage, for a candid look at the state of comedy in the world we live in. The two of them
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Where Should We Begin? The Podcast is BACK. Some of you have been with me since the very beginning, patiently awaiting the return of a new season. And others are just discovering my podcast for the first time, so allow me t
Depression is the family secret that everyone has. Approximately 280 million people suffer from depression worldwide (WHO). There are few people who haven't been touched by it either directly or indirectly yet it is a conversation many are hesi
There is something unique about connecting in a new group space with new people in real time. You can walk in alone, but you won’t be lonely for very long. But there is always the question: how much of myself should I share? This is a questio
From the moment we are born, we straddle two sets of contradicting needs: the need for security and the need for freedom. They spring from different sources and pull us in different directions. And the issue today is that we want to reconcile t
We all know that moment of deeply upsetting bewilderment that pushes a relationship fight over the edge. It’s when we ask ourselves for the umpteeth time HOW could they POSSIBLY be DOING this AGAIN when they know how much it UPSETS me? Dishe
Warring with your partner? Have you been more AT each other than WITH each other?One day in February isn’t going to change anything, but it can be a start if you let it. Valentine’s Day doesn’t just have to be a once a year holiday to prove y
Every year we engage in this swing from December self-flagellation to January hyper-motivation. And I can’t be the only one whose best laid plans wither by February.If you’re looking for a more practical new year’s resolution this year, focus
There are two Relationship Revolutions happening simultaneously that are changing our daily lives. We've reached an intersection in our personal and professional worlds, where the metrics of success from one have permeated the other. We are h
Contemplating hope is my annual ritual at the end of each year. Hope is the prayer that things will change, that our loved ones will be healthy, that this year will be better than the last, that we will finally be happy. It’s a balm for thos
First dates run the gamut—they can be exciting, exhausting, mysterious, boring, easy, or laborious. What determines the success or disappointment of a first date has less to do with an immediate spark and more to do with creating the right cond
Political and social issues can be lightening rods for conflict in couples whose opinions differ. Long-standing patterns in our relationships come to a head in these arguments. If you listen closely to a screaming couple, you will hear feelin
I’m fascinated by the modern day notion of masculinity — a much more fragile concept than we may acknowledge at first glance or passing thought. Masculinity is often presented as an imperative, a badge to be continuously earned through action
We all need freedom and security, which is why when the world doesn’t feel safe, we often don’t feel as free.“When was the last time you felt free?”— one of my favorite questions to ask my clients, friends, and family. It inspires an incredib
Happiness is an outcome, not a mandate, because the expectation of a constant state of happiness will cause you to constantly wonder, "Am I happy? Am I happy enough? Could I be happier? Should I leave this relationship? I'm happy, but maybe I c
As we enter a massive wedding season, what excites you about the invitation to RSVP? What makes you slightly anxious or feel a tinge of dread?I find myself eager to attend the celebrations that break the mold.In this workshop, we’ll explore
Have you ever been in a relationship where you were constantly breaking up and making up? Anyone who has been knows: when it’s good, it’s great. And when it’s bad, it can be miserable..Relational Ambivalence—those contradictory thoughts and f
When we extend an invitation to our partner to open up to us, we also have to acknowledge the power that comes with their freedom of choice. When we ask “will you join me?” or “will you share what’s on your mind?” they can say yes, no, or maybe
Within each of us is a rich relational story. The pages convey where we’ve been, who we’ve loved, lessons learned, and a village of characters that have nurtured and supported us. It’s a story that reminds us we don’t need to be in a romantic
It feels so good to click with a new person romantically—conversations flow, jokes develop, small touches are electrifying. Everything indicates forward motion until one day something changes. Something, it becomes clear, has unclicked.The tr
Therapy is filled with surprises. Sometimes a beautiful intervention falls flat. Other times, a cringe-worthy tone or reaction ends up landing exactly where it needs to land. It is an unknown that every therapist lives with.On this particular
Adaptability is an essential part of resilience. It’s the conversation within you between stability and change. It’s the marriage of your fundamental needs for security and adventure. Adaptability is your ability to bend and come back to cent
Eroticism isn’t just the life force that makes sex great. Eroticism is what makes life itself worth living. When times are good, Eroticism is what converts the mundane into magic. When times are tough, Eroticism is what inspires us to survive—a
I’m hearing quite a bit about burnout lately, from friends, clients and colleagues. It seems that many of us are in need of a break right now. As I take a moment of vacation, I am reminding myself (and all of you) that a break is freedom from a
