  • 835 The 4 Phrases HFCs Say Without Realizing It
    Jun 2 2026

    "It's fine." "I got it." "Don't worry about me." "I'll figure it out."

    If you say one of these without thinking, several times a day, this episode is for you. These are the phrases that keep us stuck in high-functioning codependent behavior, and they sound generous. But there is an invisibility to what we are doing, and a cost.

    These automatic behaviors are a nervous system response, habituated over years. As high-functioning codependents (HFCs), we react before we think, the moment a problem comes up. Learning to pause is the intervention. That moment before you say I got it is where the work happens, because on autopilot it is hard to change what comes out of your mouth.

  • 834 Better Reproductive Healthcare with Nikki Sapiro Vinckier
    May 28 2026

    Ever felt ignored, dismissed, or completely rushed by your doctor? In this episode, OB-GYN physician assistant and medical advocate Nikki Sapiro Vincier exposes the systemic flaws inside reproductive healthcare—and shares exactly how you can take control of your medical care today.

    I sat down with Nikki to unpack the disturbing reality of medical gaslighting, why it takes an average of 7 to 10 years to get an endometriosis diagnosis, and why "breaking up with your doctor" might actually save your life. Whether you are navigating the gaps in postpartum care, trying to survive perimenopause, or just trying to get a straight answer from your clinician, Nikki provides the ultimate step-by-step guide to triaging your own symptoms, gathering your "receipts," and demanding the care you deserve.

    It's time to stop passively existing in a system that wasn't built to serve you.

  • 833 Why High Functioning Women Don't Know What Their Needs Are, and How to Identify Them
    May 26 2026

    Do you know what you need? Not what your kids need, or what your partner needs, or what your team at work needs. What you need.

    In my therapy practice, when I ask high-functioning women what they need for the coming week, many of them either freeze or hand me a list of responsibilities. Things they have to get done. These things are not the same thing.
