ISSUE 47 | MAY 9, 202519 things I tried to teach my sonMy Loves,I’m interrupting my 3 part, What in the Woo? Series for some Mother’s Day wuv. Because moms get to pull rank. (It’s Mother’s Day in North America and Australia on May 11. UK it was March 15.)My son just moved across the country. My grief (don’t go!) and aggravation (time to go!) has morphed into excitement for both of us (LFG!)I wept, almost daily, for weeks leading up to his departure. Then he peeled out of our cul-de-sac and I just crumbled. Took me by surprise how deep that pain hit. I pr[...]

ISSUE 46 | MAY 2, 2025Your Inner Child is not the “younger version” of you.Hello Love, I’m in Egypt for another week. So today is Part 2 in my 3-part What In the Woo? Series. I want to offer a fresh perspective on how to work with the term “Inner Child.”Not everyone agrees on Inner Child terminology. But this is the approach that I’ve been taught and resonate with the most. And I’ve seen its efficacy with 1000’s of my readers and in our Heart Centered Collective. The Inner Child is a symbol of our unconscious self[...]

ISSUE 44 | APRIL 18, 2025If real love and artificial intelligence had a baby… Hello Love,I’ve wrangled our perspectives on AI—the gloom and the glory, the aversion and the Hope. My post, “AI IS NOT YOUR BEST LIFE COACH” had a lot of cheers and a few jeers. Mostly, people were grateful that we're putting a voice to concerns. Some people missed the point.A lot of us are worried that using ChatGPT for mental health might not be so good for our mental health. One person told me I was archaic. (That’s okay. I was on Marketplace last week and the telephone[...]

ISSUE 43 | APRIL 11, 2025The (significant) downside of fawningHello Loves,In the last issue, I made a point that, like, AI IS NOT YOUR BEST LIFE COACH (Issue 42). It was one of the most shared + saved posts I have ever written.My focus was on the emotional manipulation that can come from artificial intelligence. Essentially, the algorithm is being trained—by our behavior and inputs—to kiss ass. It’s called fawning.It’s a form of emotional manipulation. In humans, fawning is a survival mechanism.Fight, flight, freeze, fawn, are behaviours of a dysregulated[...]
