Embracing the Feminine with Sean Cardinalli with Gabriela Escalante - Episode 55 Mar 09, 2023

Sean interviews relationship coach Gabriela, who reflects on her coaching practice, being single on purpose, and embracing her feminine energy while encouraging her clients to do the same.

Sean Cardinalli is a coach, writer, and activist who returned to coaching on sex & love addiction at the outset of the pandemic after a 4-year hiatus. His coaching style tends toward a 12 Step recovery perspective which saved his life and livelihood 14 years ago. Sean earned his local certificate through Linda Bark’s holistic coaching methodology and is pursuing his ICF certification and a degree in social work. Beyond sex & love addiction, Sean’s practice focuses on intimacy, relationships, divorce, dating, and the creative process.

Gabriela Escalante is a certified life coach, specializing in helping women create healthy relationships. After losing herself in relationships and going through hard breakups, she realized the problem and the solution was inside her all along. She was living in survival mode protecting herself from being hurt and wearing a masculine shield, instead of allowing herself to be in her feminine. Through her work, she helps women re-build their confidence and live a life they've always dreamed of.

Deconstructing Codependency with Jessica Baum and Karen Mrbride - Episode 31 Dec 22, 2022

Jessica Baum and Karen Mrbride talk openly about what our culture has wrong with the messages around codependency. Using the lens of interpersonal neurobiology to help listeners understand how they adapted and formed ways that foster self-abandonment in their relationships. Looking closely at different attachment styles and how that shows up in relationship patterns. Understanding anxious attachment as that is a style that often has “codependent traits” and how to start to heal. They unpack co-regulation and how many struggles with self-regulation and why. How that impacts one's ability to set boundaries and have boundary systems? Exploring why inner awareness and inner boundaries are the first steps to having healthy boundaries really holds people back from setting healthy external boundaries.

Lesson's In The Dark with Sarah Williams - Episode 10 Nov 01, 2022

Sarah Williams is a professional photographer, adventurer, and guide. She believes that our connection to nature is vital and sets out to inspire others to discover and strengthen that relationship. She pushes the boundaries of her body and mind in the pursuit of unique life experiences: She was marooned for 6 days in an underground cave with no food or light with the challenge of navigating out, she spent 4 months walking the length of New Zealand with just a few handfuls of supplies in a backpack, and she is also an alpinist who summited the tallest mountain in North America, Denali, unguided. Sarah aims to empower the rising generation through example and documentation to cultivate internal strength, creativity, and a love of the unknown in order to explore and ultimately protect the world we live in.

In this episode of Single on Purpose we catch up with Sarah Williams, an adventure photographer, in Yosemite National Park. Recorded on location, she recounts the story and lessons she extrapolated from being marooned underground in a maze cave of pitch-black darkness for 6 days…. for fun.

That deadly combination led to a friendship with Lair and the Not Your Mama's Therapy podcast. When she's not making crass jokes to get Lair wheeze-laughing, she's spending time with her husband, known as "The Good One," her four dogs, and one old, miserly cat.
