15: Dose of DHC.
Dead Hearts Club
Today with this sweet, short episode, we're giving you just a Dose of DHC: sharing real-time examples from our own lives of how we're doing life the DHC way, in the moment. We're also inviting you to share your own stories of DHC living with us, because ultimately, Dead Hearts Club is about the ways our vulnerability creates connection, when it would be easier to just not do the hard thing, share the tender truth, and be seen in all that raw, unguarded glory.

14: Soulmates, Love and Attachment.
Dead Hearts Club
In this episode, we’re upending some of the more commonly-accepted definitions of soulmates — especially in the context of a rom-com culture that tells us how soul connections should behave — because sometimes, love for and attachment to those people can really stir the pot in some confusing ways.

13: The gentle art of revealing our hearts.
Dead Hearts Club
At its core, this episode is about the bedrock Dead Hearts Club was founded on: challenging ourselves to stay so heart open that you kinda feel like you’re gonna die — and doing it in a way that holds impeccable individual (and group) boundaries, taking a sh*t ton of personal responsibility, and allowing ourselves to be held in our unscripted, wildly unpredictable humanity and hearts.

12: Emotional Sobriety with Jessamyn Turgesen.
Dead Hearts Club
In this episode, we redefine “safety” from a trauma-informed lens, and get raw about how shame occupies the space where our inner agency might otherwise call us forward when we are in deep, primal suffering. We’re talking about how the wisdom of our bodies can communicate what we need to midwife ourselves through the birthing of who we might be beneath our habits of hiding.

11: The Intuition Episode.
Dead Hearts Club
Intuition is, for many of us, an ephemeral thing. It speaks to us in a language only we understand, and its gifts are the hidden jewels of our lives -- guiding us toward or away from experiences and people that can alter the entire trajectory of our journey.

10: You're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to spiritual self-help.
Dead Hearts Club
Is it possible to be in a co-dependent relationship with healing? How about a self-destructive relationship with "transformation"? If you sometimes find yourself poking around inside yourself, in search of the next thing to "fix," this episode is for you.

09: Two girls, two mics, one camel toe.
Dead Hearts Club
As we plan which topics to bring you each week, we do a little something we call Heart Storm: we get together, hash it out, talk for a long-ass time, and a theme emerges. If you’re just tuning in, you might be wondering what DHC means. This week, Bria and I sit down and just hit record — no theme, no topic, just two girls, two mics and (as you’ll discover), one very prominent camel toe.

08: Cultivating Play.
Dead Hearts Club
In this episode, we’re talking about what bridges we’ve built from self-consciousness into a more open kind of self-expression, how it’s a constantly-evolving process, and how play shows up in our individual lives. This is a thoughtful exploration of how levity and joy might actually be our innate, foundational state of being — and how our inner Wounded Child can help us access our inner Wonder Child — that part of us that is authentic, creative, trusting and spontaneous.

07: This is Healing
Dead Hearts Club
In this episode, we explore the question: Who Are We Really? How do we touch the core essence of Self without bypassing all the human reality? How do you know which is the most reliable captain for your healing ship at any given time? What version of ourselves are we reaching for as our personal definition of "healing"? Who (or what) in us carries us toward an experience of healing that tells healing is taking root?

06: Liberating The Light With Human Design
Dead Hearts Club
Andrea Berg is a Leadership Coach, Teacher and Speaker that sparks transformation through Human Design and her 7 Life Elements. She teaches high achievers to become intentional and confident. Andrea says that your ability to follow your inner compass is directly related to how deeply you know yourself.
info_outlineSomething that’s become really clear to us as we’ve opened up these conversations about practicing vulnerability in the DHC way, is that there’s no vulnerability without taking responsibility for what we want and how we’re showing up.
We often think about vulnerability as the nail-biting space we’re in before we pour our hearts out to someone we love, or when we reveal something about ourselves, knowing we’re risking rejection, but what Bria and I have been discovering again and again since the launch of Dead Hearts Club, is that vulnerability is a deeply responsible process and practice.
When we get vulnerable, we do so first with ourselves. We begin to ask questions about our inner resources — and what inner resources another person might have available to them. What happens when we want to create connection or understanding, but the person we’re trying to connect with is coming from a different place, with conflicting needs, desires, and capacity? How do we not make each other wrong for who we are and what we’re capable of?
This topic is vast and deep, and we explore questions about boundaries and love within the practice of personal responsibility.
