    Feb 17 2025

    Does criticism make you second-guess yourself or shut down completely? In this episode, we explore the brutal reality of receiving feedback—why it stings, why we dwell on the negative, and how to stop letting it control our confidence. We’ll share personal stories, practical strategies, and a mindset shift that will help you use feedback to fuel growth instead of a blow to your self-worth.

  • #373 | How to Tell if You're Dissociating
    Feb 10 2025

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode of Evolve Ventures, we explore dissociation, its causes, and how to recognize it in one’s life. We use real-life examples—such as a client’s struggle with daydreaming to escape painful emotions—to show how dissociation often develops as a coping mechanism in response to overwhelming feelings or trauma. We also share simple grounding techniques and practical ways to reconnect with oneself to regain control and be more present in one’s life.
