Just the WHO of us

This week, we meet Anfisa who shares how her work as a love, sex, and relationship coach is deeply rooted in her own personal struggles with intimacy, trust, and vulnerability. She describes a recurring pattern in her relationships where she would blame others and leave, only to realize later that the issues stemmed from within herself. Her journey included traveling, self-reflection, working with coaches, plant medicines, and eventually committing to a relationship with a close friend. This commitment forced her to confront her fears and take responsibility for her own emotional health. Her Russian upbringing contributed to shame around sexuality, which she addressed through studying sexuality and coaching. Reah echoes the importance of lived experience in coaching, sharing her own journey through family and relationship challenges, and how personal healing led her to coach others.
Intimacy and Boundaries Definitions and Depth
Today's conversation focuses on discussing the concept of intimacy, emphasizing that it is much deeper than physical or sexual connection; while discovering that true intimacy involves emotional and spiritual closeness, vulnerability, and the courage to share one's deepest struggles. Anfisa highlights the importance of being able to share vulnerable parts of oneself and being accepted by a partner, which builds emotional intimacy. She also notes the need for both partners to have the capacity to hold space for each other's differences and struggles. Reah adds that many people misunderstand intimacy, often equating it solely with sex, and stresses the importance of emotional and mental connection for successful relationships. Boundaries are discussed as essential for healthy intimacy, with both speakers reflecting on the need to understand and communicate personal boundaries.
Impact of Childhood and Family Dynamics on Adult Relationships
The speakers explore how childhood experiences and family dynamics shape adult relationships and intimacy. Reah shares her realization that her relationship with her father directly influenced her relationships with men, and that patterns such as single motherhood repeated across generations in her family. She notes that witnessing or lacking examples of parental intimacy as a child can have lasting effects on how one perceives and navigates relationships. Anfisa adds that many intimacy issues stem from early family or school experiences, and that addressing these roots is essential in coaching. Both agree that children are sensitive to the emotional realities of their environment, not just what is outwardly shown, and that parents' ability to repair and process conflict is crucial for healthy family dynamics.
Tantric Approach and Emotional Processing in Relationships
Anfisa explains the tantric approach as developing a deeper relationship with one's feelings and energy, where every emotion can be a portal to growth and even enlightenment. She describes modern tantric tools as methods for processing emotions, especially in the context of relationships, to prevent emotional buildup that can erode intimacy. The approach involves learning to sit with difficult feelings, using body awareness and energy work, and not escaping discomfort through distractions. Anfisa emphasizes that emotional disconnection often precedes the loss of physical intimacy and that modern tantric practices are effective for addressing the invisible world of emotions. Reah appreciates this approach as it goes beyond traditional communication advice, focusing on self-understanding and emotional processing as prerequisites for healthy relationships.
Communication, Self-Regulation, and Relationship Dynamics
The discussion covers the importance of effective communication in relationships, emphasizing that it must go beyond surface-level exchanges or arguments. Anfisa points out that many people struggle to communicate their feelings because they lack self-awareness or the capacity to hold their own emotions. She warns that over-reliance on a partner for emotional regulation can create unhealthy parent-child dynamics, undermining attraction and intimacy. Both speakers share personal examples of how communication styles can unintentionally mirror familial patterns and stress the importance of being able to receive feedback from a partner without defensiveness. They agree that healthy relationships require both partners to maintain individuality, set boundaries, and expand their capacity to give and hold space for each other, rather than focusing solely on what they receive.

In this episode, we welcome Lyndal Schultz, June's cover of I Am Ready Magazine and founder of Stepping Into Me. Lyndal and Reah discuss Lyndal's professional approach to relationship healing for both individuals and couples as well as briefly touching on her magazine feature.
Lyndal’s Professional Background and Approach
Lyndal brings over 25 years of experience in corporate project rescue, where she specialized in identifying patterns and resolving issues in failing projects. Her professional journey expanded into volunteering in the cancer space, motivated by her and her mother's simultaneous cancer experiences. Lyndal holds multiple qualifications in coaching and counseling and is committed to a flexible, client-centered approach, integrating various modalities such as Reiki and energy work. Her work has evolved to focus on supporting women, addressing trauma, and navigating family and domestic violence, with a core emphasis on helping clients strip away cultural and familial conditioning to discover their authentic needs and live from a place of self-authority.
Concept of Self-Authority and Identity Formation
Lyndal describes her role as a 'self-authority guide,' assisting clients in understanding themselves deeply enough to live authentically, free from imposed cultural, familial, or societal patterns. The discussion highlights how much of personal identity is shaped by environment, religion, and upbringing, often unconsciously, and underscores the importance of self-inquiry and questioning inherited beliefs. Both speakers note that self-discovery involves recognizing generational patterns and distinguishing between one's own needs and those inherited from others, with particular attention to how people may either fully embrace or completely reject their upbringing, especially regarding religion and addiction, and the impact of generational trauma.
The Four Pillars of Needs and Proactive Needs & Boundaries Method
Lyndal introduces her 'Four Pillars of Needs' as the foundation of her Proactive Needs and Boundaries Method, which she developed over several years and formally named recently. Lyndal and Reah critique the prevalent 'toxic boundary culture' that encourages cutting people off without addressing underlying needs, advocating instead for boundaries as signals of unmet needs rather than as walls. The women emphasize how most people can articulate what they don't want but struggle to define what they do want, which is essential for effective communication and relationship satisfaction.
Communication and Relationship Dynamics
The conversation explores the challenges of communication in relationships, emphasizing that people often expect others to know their needs without explicit discussion. Lyndal notes that individuals must first identify their own needs before communicating them, and that expecting one person to meet all needs is unrealistic. She advocates for proactive conversations about deal-breakers and non-negotiables early in relationships and highlights the importance of grace, flexibility, and regular communication in maintaining healthy relationships. The speakers agree that communication skills are rarely taught, leading to reactive rather than proactive relationship management.
Lyndal's Offerings and Resources for Self-Discovery
Lyndal highlights that individuals do not have to navigate self-discovery alone and offers various resources, including free and premium tools, on her website steppingintome.com (and .com.au). She provides a Four Pillars course to help people identify their needs and show up authentically, and works with both individuals and couples, preferring that couples first identify their needs separately before coming together to communicate them. Lyndal also recently started a YouTube channel, 'Stepping Into Me,' featuring videos and empowerment content, and encourages people to reach out for support, emphasizing the importance of community and guided self-discovery.

WARNING: BRIEF REFERENCE PF OPINION RELATED TO PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ON THE TOPIC OF ABORTION AND TEENAGE PREGNANCY.
This week, Reah discusses attending a 4th of July celebration where she decided to let go of negative emotions toward a family member rather than carrying resentment. Ingrid advises Reah that she could choose how much to engage with difficult family members without making ultimatums that burden hosts. Reah shares that she focused on helping others at the event rather than intentionally avoiding problematic family members. Ingrid and Reah continue to discuss Ingrid's upcoming travel plans, including trips to Europe and a future -retreat in Scotland.

Reah spends time highlighting the role of effective communication in preventing misunderstandings and building successful relationships, drawing from her own experiences as a parent and in her marriage.
Reah shares a story about misjudging her 17-year-old daughter's request to go out, initially thinking it was just about spending money rather than wanting quality time together. Ingrid provides supportive feedback, emphasizing that Reah's parenting choices and willingness to own her mistakes have positively impacted her children's lives. The conversation evolves into a broader discussion about reproductive choices, where Ingrid emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in sexual decisions and the value of supporting children's autonomy in making life choices. The pair focus on the importance of choice and communication in personal decisions, particularly regarding sensitive topics like pregnancy and abortion. Ingrid emphasizes the need to respect individual experiences and decisions, sharing her personal perspective on motherhood while acknowledging that she had never been faced with the choice to have an abortion.

This week, we meet Graham Hawley. Graham became interested in health and wellness after witnessing his brother and father suffer from type 2 diabetes, which led to severe debilitation. This personal experience motivated him to research health, follow doctors who left conventional medicine, and become a certified health and wellness coach. He initially helped friends and family, then expanded to busy professionals and families, especially as more children and teenagers are being diagnosed with lifestyle-related conditions like fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, weight gain, and high blood pressure. Graham now gives presentations and keynotes to spread awareness that these conditions are preventable and reversible.
Impact of Processed and Packaged Foods
This week's discussion focuses on the dangers of processed and packaged foods, particularly for children. Graham emphasizes how these foods are engineered to be addictive and contain hazardous chemicals, excessive sugar, and industrial seed oils, which are major contributors to modern health issues. Deceptive marketing and lack of education lead to widespread consumption, and even products sold in the US and Europe differ in chemical content due to regulatory differences, with the US allowing more harmful additives. Graham and Reah discuss how societal trends such as the pursuit of convenience and quick fixes have led to unhealthy eating habits and a lack of education about nutrition and health. Noting that most advertising and supermarket offerings promote unhealthy choices, and parents often unknowingly buy harmful foods for their children. There is little public education on how to be healthy, and the medical system often focuses on medication rather than prevention or lifestyle change: even produce is affected, with long storage times and use of pesticides and preservatives reducing its quality.
Critique of the Medical and Pharmaceutical System
Graham criticizes the medical system for focusing on medication rather than addressing the root causes of chronic diseases. Doctors often prescribe drugs for conditions like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure without discussing lifestyle changes, and patients are told these diseases are not reversible, which Graham claims is false. The system benefits from having lifetime customers, and access to medical care and insurance can limit options for true health improvement. Both speakers agreed that self-care and lifestyle changes are essential, and that the current system does not incentivize prevention or genuine health improvement. Graham introduced the five pillars of health: nutrition, exercise and movement, sleep quality, stress management, and mindful alcohol consumption, emphasizing their interdependence. He recommends starting with awareness of food ingredients, especially avoiding processed foods, sugar, and industrial seed oils, and highlighted journaling as a key tool for tracking progress. Practical tips included meal prepping, making healthy breakfasts, tracking steps, and incorporating resistance training for glucose management. The overall message was to start with small, manageable changes and build on them over time for sustainable health improvements.
Personal Responsibility and Self-Care
This discussion heavily focuses on a strong emphasis on personal responsibility for health. Graham states that self-care is the new healthcare and that individuals must take charge of their own well-being rather than relying solely on doctors or the healthcare system. He warns that neglecting health can lead to years or decades of damage before symptoms appear, and that it is crucial to act proactively. Graham and Reah strongly encourage listeners to start with small steps, focus on one pillar at a time, and recognize that it is possible to turn one's health around within six months to a year by being conscious and engaged.

In today's episode, Reah shares an update about an "I See You" letter she had written and delivered to her son. Reah describes the emotional response she received, noting that her son was initially silent but later expressed gratitude and appreciation through a life-changing experience for both Reah and Noah.
Tina and Reah go on to discuss their personal experiences with trauma and how they transformed those experiences into their coaching practices. Tina shares her journey from a traumatic childhood to becoming a parent coach, while Reah described her path from trauma to helping others through coaching. They both emphasize the importance of using their personal experiences to connect with and help their clients.
Reah discusses her personal experiences with alcohol and smoking, highlighting how generational patterns can influence behavior. She emphasizes the importance of gaining knowledge and taking responsibility for oneself to break these patterns, especially in the context of parenting. They discuss how avoiding passing on such habits to children is a strong motivator for personal change and the nature of addiction, emphasizing that it often serves as an escape from overwhelming pain and trauma. They explore how addiction can be an adaptive coping mechanism in the face of adversity. Reah shares how she questioned why her father chose addiction over family but later understood how underlying trauma likely contributed to his behavior. They conclude by emphasizing the importance of asking "what happened to you" rather than "what's wrong with you," and Reah notes the value of her son's ability to articulate his feelings of anger as a starting point for understanding and addressing his experiences. They further discuss the complex emotions and factors that contribute to anger in individuals who have experienced trauma, such as sexual assault and parental abandonment. They explor how anger can be a protective mechanism, or "sadness's bodyguard," and how children often internalize blame for their parents' failures. Reah shares her approach to helping her son understand his birth mother's situation by emphasizing that it was not his fault and that God had a plan for him.
The pair discusses the challenges of parenting children with different needs and personalities, particularly focusing on Reah's experience with her son who has ADHD. Tina shares insights about auditory processing deficits in children with ADHD and suggested using visual aids and written communication to help them process information. They also discuss the importance of involving children in decision-making processes to develop their prefrontal cortex and promote respectful communication.

The Significance of Aging and Life Transitions
This week, we welcome Dr. Edward Tick to explore the personal and psychological significance of turning 40 and 75, referencing Carl Jung's view that 40 is a pivotal age marking a shift from focusing on the future to reflecting on the past. Dr. Tick and Reah share personal experiences as Reah is writing a memoir about turning 40, noting how her perspective and priorities shifted after the milestone, leading her to restructure her book; as Dr. Tick, having just turned 75, reflects on his lifelong spiritual quest and the integration of his work. The discussion highlights the ongoing potential for growth, learning, and self-discovery at any age, and the importance of embracing change and wisdom gained through life transitions.
Self-Reflection, Support, and the Role of Others in Personal Growth
The speakers discuss the importance of self-reflection and the challenges of self-judgment. Both speakers express appreciation for meaningful conversations that transcend everyday interactions. Dr. Tick explains the ancient practice of pilgrimage as a journey from the familiar to a sacred site for spiritual or personal transformation. He has led about 25 pilgrimages to Greece and 19 to Vietnam since 1995, focusing on deep immersion in local cultures and intentional preparation. In Vietnam, he brings veterans, their families, and others for healing from war-related trauma, noting that participants often experience more healing in a few weeks than in decades of therapy. Pilgrimage is described as a form of immersion or exposure therapy, providing direct experiences and communal support that traditional therapy cannot replicate. In Greece, Ed incorporates ancient healing traditions, such as dream incubation, to facilitate psycho-spiritual breakthroughs.
Healing Traditions Ancient Greece and Vietnam
Dr. Tick details how his pilgrimages to Greece and Vietnam use local spiritual and healing traditions. In Greece, he teaches about the original meanings of psychology and psychiatry, rooted in soul healing, and practices dream incubation, a method for provoking transformative 'big dreams.' In Vietnam, the focus is on reconciliation and healing for veterans, facilitated by the welcoming attitude of the Vietnamese people. He additionally shares stories of veterans who, after returning to Vietnam, experienced profound healing and even began leading their own journeys. The communal, spiritual, and cross-cultural aspects of these pilgrimages are emphasized as key to their effectiveness, often achieving results that conventional therapy cannot.
Overcoming Judgment, Projections, and Moral Injury
The discussion addresses how negative judgments and expectations of others are often projections of self-judgment. Dr. Tick recounts stories from pilgrimages where veterans feared being judged or rejected by Vietnamese or Greek people, only to be met with acceptance, understanding, and even celebration. In Greece, American veterans were embraced by Greek veterans, who emphasized that the real wound was not combat but the lack of support upon returning home. These experiences help participants realize that much of their anguish is self-imposed, and that direct, honest encounters with others can dissolve these projections and foster healing. Dr. Tick also shares the personal and historical motivations behind his pilgrimage work. For Vietnam, his own experience growing up during the war, working with veterans since the 1970s, and a desire to find effective healing methods led him to organize healing journeys. He references the African proverb, 'my enemy is someone whose story I have not yet heard,' emphasizing the power of storytelling and mutual understanding. For Greece, his lifelong fascination with Greek mythology began at age 10, leading to decades of study and eventual travel. A transformative encounter with a sea turtle at the sanctuary of Poseidon on Poros Island deepened his spiritual journey and inspired him to integrate Native American healing traditions into his work.
Integration of Ancient and Indigenous Healing Practices
Dr. Tick describes how his work integrates ancient Greek, Native American, and Vietnamese healing traditions. He notes that Native Americans refer to North America as Turtle Island and have creation myths involving the turtle, which influenced his approach after his experience in Greece. He apprenticed for 13 years with a Native American teacher, learning warrior healing rituals. Ed uses these combined traditions to offer healing experiences that go beyond what conventional mental health practices can achieve, particularly for trauma and moral injury. The integration of these diverse spiritual practices is presented as a powerful approach to psycho-spiritual transformation.

Parenting, Family Dynamics, and Community
The discussion covered various aspects of parenting, family relationships, and the changing nature of community. Both speakers reflected on their experiences as mothers and grandmothers, the impact of trauma and abandonment, and the importance of parental responsibility in maintaining relationships. They discussed how childhood experiences, such as parental absence or trauma, influence adult behaviors and parenting styles. The conversation also addressed the loss of traditional community structures, like extended family gatherings and women's work circles, and the challenges of modern isolation. Reah noted the ideal of having a close-knit community but acknowledged the reality of geographic separation and reliance on online groups, which can sometimes become echo chambers or lack diversity. The importance of modeling self-care and healthy relationships for children was also emphasized.
Self-Care, Giving, and Receiving
A significant portion of the conversation focused on the importance of self-care, especially for women who often take on caregiving roles. Ingrid used the analogy of breastfeeding to illustrate that one cannot care for others without first caring for oneself. Both speakers discussed the cultural tendency to value selflessness and giving over receiving, challenging the notion that giving is inherently more virtuous. They highlighted the dangers of neglecting self-care, such as burnout and resentment, and the need to balance giving with the ability to receive help and support. Reah shared her journey toward accepting help and delegating responsibilities, influenced by her upbringing as a single mother. The conversation underscored that self-care is not selfish but essential for sustaining one's ability to care for others.

This week, we welcome Gabor who shares his Hungarian background and moving to the UK at a young age due to his father's job transfer. He grew up in the UK, attended school and university there, and later moved to Canada for five years before settling in the United States in the mid-90s. Gabor has lived in various parts of California for the past 30 years, except for the last year when he lived in both Northern and Southern California. He holds a degree in computer science and has worked on video game development projects, including consulting for the Canadian government.
Gabor and Reah discuss the development of the Friending app, which aims to help people make real-world friendships by connecting them with others in their area for in-person meetings. The Friending app differs from dating apps by encouraging offline interactions and has a unique feature where users must be physically present to confirm a friendship. The two discuss safety, verification, and identification to ensure user safety. Gabor discusses the importance of verifying users' identities through personal meetings and a safety feature that involves tapping the screen three times to summon help from the police, a designated friend, or nearby app users. He emphasizes the absence of fake profiles on the app, which helps prevent emotional disappointment and builds trust among users. Gabor testifies that while the app might grow more slowly without bots and fake profiles, the long-term success of the app relies on users understanding its safety and authenticity.
Gabor and Reah discuss plans for launching an app focused on building community and friendship, including unique features like QR codes on coffee packaging that users can scan to receive personalized messages. Gabor outlined three revenue streams: selling coffee, friendship charms representing states, and partnering with speed-friending organizers to provide QR code entry tickets at a lower cost than current platforms. Gabor emphasizes the importance of building a community around the app and encouraged users to download it without registration. The social networking app "Friending" allows users to register with a special speed friending profile, offering one month of free access for each event attended. The app will eventually charge $5 monthly or $50 annually, with plans to offer free access to users below a certain income level pending verification. The "Friending" beta version is currently available on iOS, with the 1.0 version expected by December 2026/January 2027.

WARNING: BRIEF REFERENCE PF OPINION RELATED TO PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ON THE TOPIC OF ABORTION TOWARD THE END OF THE EPISODE (THIS OCCURS DURING MINUTES 30-34 IF YOU PREFER TO SKIP THIS PORTION).
What happens when we stop treating AI as an authority and start using it as a conversation partner?
In this thought-provoking episode, Ingrid and Reah explore their real-world experiences with today's most popular AI tools. They compare the strengths and limitations of each platform, discussing everything from writing assistance and image creation to factual accuracy, bias, and the importance of cross-checking information.
The conversation goes far beyond technology, examining the role of discernment in an age of information overload. Drawing parallels between AI, internet searches, and even traditional encyclopedias, they challenge the assumption that any source is truly objective. Together, they unpack how personal experiences, culture, upbringing, and algorithms shape the way we interpret information—and why maintaining curiosity and critical thinking matters more than ever.
Ingrid also shares the fascinating story behind a new symbol emerging within her work. Inspired by an AI-generated suggestion and deeply connected to her rune practice, the simple vertical line of the Isa rune became a powerful representation of depth, foundation, rootedness, and possibility. The discussion highlights how minimalism, symbolism, and thoughtful design can communicate profound meaning, echoing the influence of artists and creators who understand the power of simplicity.
Throughout the episode, Reah and Ingrid reflect on generational perspectives toward AI, environmental concerns surrounding emerging technologies, the risks of echo chambers, and the value of holding space for multiple viewpoints without becoming trapped in certainty.
This is a conversation about technology, yes—but even more so about wisdom, self-awareness, and learning how to navigate an increasingly complex world with openness, humility, and discernment.
