The name MindRelations comes from what might be one of the most important insights for living a good life: 

The way you Relate to your own Mind—your thoughts, feelings, and inner responses—shapes how you feel, how you act, and how you connect with others.
What if changing that relationship could be the beginning of supporting your mental health, learning how to care for yourself, guide yourself, and even become Your Own Best Therapist?

​

To Be Your Own Best Therapist doesn’t mean doing it all alone.
It means learning to meet yourself with clarity and care—even when things feel messy. It’s about knowing how to listen inward, offer support instead of self-criticism, and choose what’s right for you in daily life. And the more you relate to yourself in this way, the more everything else begins to shift, also your relationships with others.

​

A Different Way to Meet Yourself

What if you could stop reacting from stress or fear, and instead respond with calm and clarity—even in difficult moments?
What if the way you speak to yourself became softer, kinder, more helpful—and from there, your whole way of being began to shift?
MindRelations offers a space to explore what happens when you start treating yourself with the same empathy you give to others. When you’re no longer at war with your mind, something new begins: your emotions feel safer. Your relationships feel lighter. And maybe, your everyday life begins to feel more like your own.

​

What is MindRelations Daily Compass?

MindRelations Daily Compass is a therapist-designed journey in podcast form. It’s built to help you change how you relate to yourself—so that life feels more spacious, relationships feel safer, and your choices feel clearer. It’s not about becoming someone else. It’s about discovering the freedom to live more as who you truly are. 

You can learn how to:
• Regulate your emotions and calm your nervous system
• Recognize your patterns without judgment
• Set boundaries that feel strong and clean
• Stay grounded in tough conversations
• Care without overgiving, love without losing yourself
• Live from your values instead of your fears

​

Each episode is a quiet invitation to pause, reflect, and gently shift—just a little—how you relate to yourself and your life. Over time, those small shifts add up to something real and lasting.

When you dedicate yourself to this journey—even just by showing up and listening—you begin something new.
Dedication creates movement. It builds strength. And it reconnects you with your ability to support yourself in real, lasting ways. This simple commitment can help ease procrastination, soften self-doubt, and lift the heaviness of sadness or stress. Because doing something good for you isn’t selfish—it’s what helps you feel whole, capable, and alive again.

​

For Anyone Who Feels the Strain

If you live with experiences of anxiety, depression, burnout, ADHD, high stress—or that heavy, nagging sense that something just isn’t working—MindRelations might offer the relief you’ve been needing to set you free from these experiences.

They don’t mean you’re broken, although you might feel that way, and with good reason, I’m sure. Maybe what you experience is a sign that your system is tired. We are not taught how to regulate our thoughts, understand our emotions, or care for our nervous system with kindness.

What if the change you’ve longed for didn’t come from effort, but from how you relate to your inner world?
You don’t have to push through or prove anything.
You can meet yourself differently, and change may gently follow.

​​

What If You Had Real Choice and Started to Feel Free?

Sometimes life feels like it’s happening to us. Emotions take over. People cross our boundaries. Old habits show up before we realize it. And suddenly we’re in a situation where we don’t feel like we get to choose.

But what if you could pause?

What if you had the tools to stay with yourself in those moments—and choose your response instead of reacting on autopilot?

That’s where a sense of freedom begins.

And maybe, as you start walking taller, speaking more clearly, and standing in your truth… the people around you start responding differently too. Maybe they no longer try to challenge your boundaries—because they can see you won’t abandon yourself anymore. Maybe they treat you with more care—because they sense how deeply you’ve begun to care for yourself.

​

How MindRelations Is Different and Unlike Anything Else in Podcasting

While many mental health podcasts offer thoughtful insights, conversations and inspiring stories, MindRelations Daily Compass stands apart as a complete structured therapeutic experience—a deeply intentional and carefully designed journey, not just content to consume, but a process to live through. 

Most mental health podcasts are open-ended, topical, or story-driven. They’re wonderful companions, but they rarely offer a clear beginning, middle, and end. By contrast, MindRelations Daily Compass is built as a compassionate therapeutic process and unlike most offerings, it’s not short:

• Built in phases, with each episode thoughtfully sequenced to support the next.

• Structured, with 15 min episodes of guided reflection and growth.

• 30 episodes, each offering a quiet moment to reflect and gently shift how you relate to yourself and others.

• Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Psychology, deeply personal and reflective, delivered with warmth and care.

​

Why This Structure?

Lasting change takes time—and structure helps you stay supported as you move through it.

MindRelations Daily Compass gives you episodes for 30 days—because your growth deserves space, softness, and room to revisit when life gets full.

Now, 30 days might sound like a lot—but here’s the beauty of it: You go at your own pace.

I invite you to listen to the podcasts in the sequence I have laid out, as they have been well thought through and there is a flow in them and one episode supports the next.

There’s no pressure to listen daily. Some days you might want to listen, reflect, and pause. Other days, you might  return to an episode if that feels right. This is your journey—and you’re free to move through it in the way that works for you.

It’s also true that we all absorb things differently. Some episodes might spark insight the moment you hear them. Others may land more quietly, and reveal their relevance later. You might even find yourself returning to certain episodes again and again—because they meet you in different ways, at different times.

That’s why the full journey matters. Each episode is part of a larger rhythm. And your relationship with the process will grow as you stay with it—honoring what speaks to you, and letting the rest settle until it’s ready to rise.

Take Your Journey Deeper with the MindRelations Personal Compass

If you want deeper support, the MindRelations Personal Compass is here to bring even more care to your journey. Each week, you’re invited to submit a personal question or reflection.

I take time to sit with your words and respond inside a podcast episode—always anonymously and always with compassion.

You might be surprised how powerful it feels to hear yourself reflected back.
To feel seen. To feel held. To feel quietly understood.

It’s not therapy—but it’s deeply personal. And it’s yours, if you think this is something that appeals to you.

​

"My heartfelt wish is for you to feel good about yourself and others"

​

An Invitation

So what if you gave yourself the chance to feel good about yourself and others?

What if this time, you chose gentleness instead of urgency?
Curiosity instead of criticism?
And care—instead of control?

You don’t need to become someone new.
Maybe you just need to begin relating to the you that’s already here—with more kindness, gentleness, and maybe a little more love.

​

It’s not therapy — but it’s deeply personal. And it’s designed to help you feel held, understood, and aligned as you walk this path.

​​

The world doesn’t need a new version of you.
It needs the real you — steady, luminous, and alive.

Start your journey today with MindRelations — and begin living the life you're meant for.
