    The Stories We Tell in Love: Boundaries, Relationship Anarchy, and the Search for Real Belonging with Saz Russell

    We tell stories all the time: about our partners, our past, and ourselves. But what happens when those stories quietly start running the relationship?In this episode of Get Psyched, we sit down with Saz Russell to unpack the narratives shaping our love lives, our boundaries, and our sense of self. From “relationship mediation” to monogamy hangovers, this conversation gets into the messy, fascinating space between perception and reality... and how to come back to truth without losing connection.If you’ve ever thought “they never understand me” or “maybe I’m the problem,” this one is going to land. The crew explores:🎙️ Why we’re constantly telling stories in relationships (and why it matters more than we think)🎙️ What relationship mediation actually is, and how it can shift conflict into understanding🎙️ The parts of your story about your partner that might actually be… right🎙️ How boundaries are woven into every narrative we create🎙️ Defensiveness, awareness, and what’s underneath our reactive moments🎙️ The search for belonging & and what happens when we outsource it to someone else🎙️ “Monogamy hangovers,” relationship definitions, and why clarity matters more than labels 🎙️ Power dynamics and bids for CONTROL in relationships🎙️ How to stay open in uncertainty without needing to “figure it all out”🎙️ The big question: should you change for love?🎙️ Cultivating real belonging within yourself (so love stops feeling like survival)This episode invites you to loosen your grip on certainty and get curious about the stories you’re telling... about them, and about you. Because sometimes the most powerful shift isn’t changing your partner, it’s noticing the narrative.Connect with LindseyFollow AmySaz on InstagramBook a session with LindseySchedule with AmySaz online

    Speak The 5 Love Languages Fluently? Let’s Reconsider.

    We’ve all heard of the 5 Love Languages, but are they the relationship cheat code we’ve been promised… or just really good marketing?In this episode of Get Psyched, we’re getting into the dark side of pop psychology and unpacking the love languages phenomenon with a little more nuance (and a lot more honesty). From premarital counseling experiences to the ways these frameworks can accidentally reinforce not-so-great behavior, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s helpful… and what’s hype.Amy shares her firsthand experience using love languages and other relationship assessments in premarital counseling, and where things started to feel a little too boxed-in. We explore the limitations of labeling how we give and receive love, the lack of inclusivity in these models, and why they’re not exactly rooted in hard science.Today, we explore: 🎙️ The rise of “dark media” and viral pop psychology trends 🎙️ What the 5 Love Languages get right (and very wrong) 🎙️ Amy’s experience with premarital counseling and relationship assessments 🎙️ How love languages can unintentionally perpetuate unhealthy dynamics 🎙️ The lack of nuance and inclusivity in mainstream relationship frameworks 🎙️ Why the love languages aren’t backed by strong science 🎙️ How to use love languages as a launching point for deeper self-awareness 🎙️ Practical ways to actually connect with your partnerBut don’t worry... we’re not here just to tear it down. We’re here to rebuild it better. Because real connection? It’s a little more complex, and a lot more interesting.Follow LindseyConnect with AmyBook a session with LindseySchedule with Amy

    Your Ex Wants to Be Friends, Now What? Boundaries, Breakups & Moving On

    Can you actually be friends with your ex… or is that a relationship myth we’ve all been taught to believe? In this episode of Get Psyched, we’re unpacking the outdated idea that every breakup has to end in total no contact. Sometimes the end of a romantic relationship doesn’t mean the end of respect, care, or even friendship.We explore what it really takes to transition from partners to friends, including the courage to have hard conversations, the role trust plays in redefining the relationship, and why showing up as the fullest version of yourself matters more than clinging to old dynamics.We also get real about boundaries: the kind that protect your peace, clarify expectations, and help define the culture of a new kind of connection. Because staying friends with an ex isn’t about pretending nothing happened—it’s about intentionally creating a relationship that works for who you both are now.In this episode we dive into: 🎙️ Why the “never talk to your ex again” rule may be outdated 🎙️ How hard conversations can actually build deeper trust 🎙️ What it means to show up as the fullest version of yourself after a breakup 🎙️ Defining the culture of your new relationship dynamic 🎙️ Boundaries that help an ex-turned-friendship actually workWhether you’re navigating a breakup, redefining a past relationship, or wondering if friendship with an ex is possible without emotional chaos, this episode brings honesty and a little playful curiosity to the conversation.Because sometimes the healthiest relationships are the ones we consciously choose to redefine✨Connect with LindseyFollow AmyBook a session with LindseySchedule with Amy

    The Science of Small Moments: Why Your Relationship Is Built in Seconds

    In this episode of Get Psyched, Lindsey connects her (slightly mischievous) love of embarrassment to one of the most influential relationship research programs of all time: the Love Lab led by John Gottman.Inside the famed Love Lab at the University of Washington, couples were observed to uncover what actually predicts long-term relationship success. The biggest predictor? Not grand gestures. Not passion. Not compatibility quizzes.It was how partners responded to bids for connection.Today the gals explore:🎙️ Lindsey’s love for embarrassment: Lindsey's bids for connection through shared embarrassment, laughter, and being unhinged.🎙️ Progression vs. maintenance: Gottman’s research shows thriving couples aren’t constantly “leveling up.” They’re maintaining connection through small, consistent responses to everyday bids.🎙️ What is a bid for connection?: A glance. A sigh. A joke. A “look at this.” These micro-moments are requests for attention, affection, or affirmation.🎙️ The 3 ways we respond to bids: • Turning toward (connection grows) • Turning away (neutral drift) • Turning against (resentment builds)Couples who turned toward each other the majority of the time had dramatically higher rates of long-term satisfaction. The magic isn’t dramatic. It’s daily.🎙️ Simple doesn’t mean easy: It’s simple to put down your phone. Simple to look up. Simple to say, “Tell me more.” But in real life? When you’re stressed, tired, or defensive? That’s where the work is.This episode blends relationship psychology, attachment science, emotional intelligence, and practical tools to help you respond differently the next time someone reaches for you... subtly or not.Because the research is clear: love is built in the small moments. And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is turn toward.Press play to upgrade how you show up in your relationships one bid at a time.

    So, You're Ready To Try EMDR?

    What if healing from trauma isn’t about “fixing” yourself, but remembering that your brain already knows how to heal? 👀✨In this episode of Get Psyched, we dive into Amy’s EMDR training experience and unpack how trauma-informed therapies like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) support the nervous system, build safety, and gently guide the brain back toward balance.We explore how trauma treatments are introduced in a way that feels supportive (not overwhelming), why resourcing is a cornerstone of EMDR, and how creating safety (internally and within the therapeutic relationship) can change everything. Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation, and the connection between therapist and client is often where the real magic lives.Together, the gals explore:🎙️ What EMDR therapy is and how it works🎙️ Amy’s experience with EMDR training🎙️ How trauma treatments are introduced safely and ethically🎙️ The importance of resourcing and nervous system support🎙️ Creating safety in trauma-informed therapy🎙️ Why the therapeutic relationship matters so much🎙️ How we’re hardwired toward healing, and how EMDR supports that processWhether you’re a therapist, therapy-curious, or on your own healing journey, this episode is a reminder that your system isn’t broken... it’s doing its best. And with the right support, healing is possible!Connect with LindseyFollow AmyBook with LindseySchedule a session with Amy

    Resolution Culture Is Stressing Us Out. Let’s Talk Intentions, Mindset & Mental Health

    Are New Year’s resolutions helping your mental health, or quietly burning you out? In this episode of the Get Psyched Podcast, we unpack the difference between resolution culture and intention setting, and why the way we approach change can deeply impact our emotional well-being, self-worth, and nervous system.Resolution culture often tells us we need to fix or reinvent ourselves to be worthy. Intention, on the other hand, invites curiosity, compassion, and sustainable growth. We explore how shifting your mindset from “have to” → “get to” can reduce anxiety, increase motivation, and support long-term mental wellness.Today, we explore:🎙️ Resolution vs. intention and how each affects mental health🎙️ Why resolution culture can fuel shame, perfectionism, and burnout🎙️ The reframe from “don’t stop” to “keep going”🎙️ Mindful social media use and protecting your emotional energy🎙️ Becoming the creator of your own time (instead of racing against it)🎙️ The psychology of manifestation (grounded, realistic, and self-led)If you’re interested in mental health, emotional regulation, mindset shifts, self-growth, or wellness without the pressure, this episode is your permission slip to choose intention over overhaul.Press play for a more compassionate, sustainable approach to personal growth... because you’re not a problem to be solved.Connect with LindseyFollow AmyBook a session with LindseySchedule with Amy

    If He Wanted To He Would... Ew.

    In this episode, we’re diving into the phrase “if he wanted to, he would” — what does it really mean, and why is it so catchy? We’ll unpack the psychology behind it and explore the nuance that gets lost in translation. Buckle up, it’s going to be a fun ride!Today the gals explore:🎙️ What’s the Deal with “If He Wanted To, He Would”?Everyone’s heard it, but what does it really mean? Let’s break it down and talk about why this phrase gets tossed around in relationships.🎙️ Where’s the Nuance?Sure, it sounds simple, but relationships aren’t one-size-fits-all. We’re digging into the gray area that’s often ignored when we lean on this phrase.🎙️ Partners Aren’t Mind Readers!Newsflash: Your partner can’t read your mind (unless they’re a psychic, and even then…). We’re discussing why communication is key and how expecting them to know what you need without saying it might not be the healthiest approach.🎙️ Don’t Fall in Love with Potential (Spoiler: It’s a Trap)Ever fallen for someone’s future self rather than who they actually are now? Yeah, we’ve all been there. Let’s talk about why this can set you up for disappointment.🎙️ What Narratives Are You Defending?We’re all carrying around little stories in our heads, and sometimes we use “if he wanted to, he would” to defend the one we’ve created. Let’s chat about the deeper reasons we cling to these narratives, even when they don’t serve us.🎙️ Behavior = Not Always About YouIf your partner is acting distant, it’s probably more about them than it is about you. We’re diving into why their behaviors can reflect their own stuff, and not necessarily how they feel about you.🎙️ Stop Doing the Most (Seriously, Just Stop)If you’re the one constantly putting in all the effort, it’s time to hit pause. Let’s talk about how doing too much in a relationship can actually make things worse.🎙️ Lindsey hypothesizes Bumble's origin story?A little unhinged way of "dropping the handkerchief."If you loved today's show, please please let us know by giving us a 5-star rating and review, and sharing with someone you think would like laughing along with us too!
