  • The Infantilized Adult: Why We Keep Handing Our Power to Partners, Groups, and Gurus
    Mar 1 2026

    We’re in a radical shift in how we understand relationships, and it’s bigger than romance: the same reflex lives everywhere we attach, the hope that if you do it right, someone will keep you safe, approve of you, choose you, or tell you who to be.

    In this episode, Vanessa explores how we outsource our center to partners, groups, institutions, and algorithms, and why certainty becomes addictive when the world feels chaotic. This new model of intimacy isn’t rescue, it’s witness, and it asks for personal responsibility, self-regulation, and the capacity to stay in truth even when you’re afraid.

    Take this question with you: What do you want someone else to provide for you right now that you’re avoiding providing for yourself?

  • Codependency in Chaotic Times: How to Hold Yourself in the Storm
    Feb 23 2026

    When the world feels like it’s on fire, codependency can look like “staying informed,” “staying useful,” and carrying everyone else’s feelings, but it’s often just overfunctioning in the face of chaos. And collapsing doesn’t make you more compassionate.

    In Episode 3, Vanessa Bennett, LMFT offers a grounding reset for anxious times: you are not required to carry the whole world to prove your goodness, your compassion, or your worth. You’re allowed to pause, breathe, hydrate, sleep, laugh, and step away from doomscrolling long enough to come back intact. Recovery isn’t disengagement. It’s learning how to hold yourself in the storm so you can act from integrity instead of urgency, and show up for others from a rooted place.

  • Shame and the Performance of Love: When Belonging Becomes Conditional
    Feb 16 2026

    There’s a version of love many of us were trained into: the kind you earn. Be agreeable, be impressive, don’t need too much, don’t make waves. When belonging becomes conditional, love becomes performance, and shame becomes the inner enforcer that keeps you “good,” useful, and exhausted.

    In Episode 2, Vanessa Bennett, LMFT explores how conditional belonging turns intimacy into obedience and management, why being “low maintenance” is often a survival strategy, and how over-attunement (often mislabeled as being an “empath”) can be a trauma response rooted in vigilance. You’ll learn the difference between healthy empathy vs trauma empathy, how to spot the somatic signs you’re performing safety, and two experiments to move from performance to presence: the pause and one honest sentence.
