What better person to take relationship advice from than a therapist! This week our special guest is Brooke Sprowl the founder of My LA Therapy. Her specialties include depression, trauma, PTSD, as well as marriage and relationship issues among others. Brooke’s articles have been featured in Social Work Today, Martha Stewart Weddings and many more.
Brooke believes in circular causality which in essence is the idea that your behavior is both the cause of another’s behavior as well as caused by another’s behavior. She shares with us the importance of turning our viewpoint inward to see what areas in our own lives may need adjusting in a relationship rather that projecting all the negativity outward. This episode is perfect for those wanting to strengthen their relationships and be more present with those they love.
Questions I Asked:
- Why do people have power struggles in relationships?
- How is Narcissism, when mistaken as strength, ruining relationships?
- How does a relationship work with the idea that I don’t need anyone else’s permission?
Topics Discussed:
- Why men are often unavailable.
- The importance of how you are communicating.
- How to develop and share responsibility.
Quotes from the show:
- “Take responsibility for what we are bringing to the table.” @mylatherapy
- “The fights are never about the fights.” @mylatherapy
- “We think our relationships are wrong if our needs are not always met.” @mylatherapy
- There is no CEO in a relationship @mylatherapy

In the midst of tragedy, it is difficult to understand the good that can come of it. We often hear stories of those who have endured unthinkable trials and have not only lived through them but found their purpose within them. How can we too learn from those who have risen above their circumstances when we are faced with our own adversity?
This week we are speaking with former marine gunner, Kirstie Ennis, who suffered intensive injuries including a leg amputation after her helicopter crashed. In this episode, we discuss how she not only overcame her obstacles but went on to create a non-profit organization, climb mountains, and become an adventure athlete. Kirstie truly believes in the philosophy that we have to be uncomfortable to grow and look for situations to push ourselves. She encourages us to look at how far we’ve come rather than where we still have to go.
Questions I Asked:
- Did you feel stripped of your identity?
- What types of workouts do you perform to prepare for the mountains?
- Did setting goals pull you through rehab?
Topics Discussed:
- Coming back from a devastating tragedy.
- Continuing when people tell you that you shouldn’t.
- The importance of milestones and the journey.
Quotes from the show:
- “Instead of what I lost I decided to look at what I gained.” @kirstieennis
- “What’s right in front of me that can help me?” @kirstieennis
- “Keep going after the big mountains.” @kirstieennis
- “You have to be uncomfortable to grow.” @kirstieennis
