Why is it so hard to do the things we know are good for us — like getting enough sleep, eating well, staying active, nurturing relationships, and finding purpose?In this episode, Bev chats with coach Rivka Klein–de Graaf. Together they explore the gap between knowing what we need and actually following through. Drawing from The GPS Within — a method Rivka co-developed with Dorit Shoshani — Rivka reveals how true change begins not with discipline, but with self-awareness and emotional insight.You'll learn how a hidden emotion and unmet need drive every behavior, and how identifying those needs can unlock sustainable change, improve mental health, and lead to more authentic relationships.This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or like they're always last on their own list. Rivka offers a compassionate roadmap for reconnecting with yourself, so you can show up with clarity, confidence, and — in the words of Kate Reed — "give the world the best of you, not what's left of you."Have a question or topic suggestion?

Today, we're talking about something we see all the time in our work—people chasing gratification instead of growing into relational joy.As Terry Real says, "Relational joy is not the high of self-medication or acting out—it's the quiet contentment that comes from true connection, with yourself and others."We'll explore what that means, how gender can shape how we deal with pain, and how self-esteem isn't about perfection—it's about self-compassion.Have a question or topic suggestion?

In this episode, we explore five common "losing strategies" that quietly sabotage connection—like needing to be right, control, withdrawal, retaliation, and unbridled self-expression. These patterns may feel justified in the moment, but they often create more distance and conflict. We share relatable examples, offer alternatives, and invite you to reflect on your own go-to strategy when things get hard. 🔗 Learn more about our work: Suzette Halterman — suzettehaltermancoaching.com Bev Ehrlich — bev.co.il 📩 Send us your questions or topic suggestions: [email protected]
