We’re Trying Something Different: An Emergent...

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/03/02

In this episode, we pull back the curtain.We experiment with a more emergent format and have the kind of meta conversation we’d normally keep off-mic, examining the systems that have shaped this podcast and asking whether they still serve the soul of it.We talk about walking as a mental health baseline, the power of changing context, and what it means to follow aliveness over logistics. We also share why “Better Than Therapy” is evolving into “Soul Game,” and what that shift represents.This is a

Mini: The Dreambody — Working with Body Symptoms and...

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/02/23

In this short solo episode, Kevin explores a powerful idea from Arnold Mindell called the “dreaming body” — the understanding that our nighttime dreams and our physical symptoms may be part of the same intelligent conversation.What if pain isn’t random? What if it’s guidance?Through the story of a persistent knee issue that dissolved after a surprising dream about an underground roller coaster, this episode traces the deeper message underneath the symptom — a call toward surrender, slowing down, and

“Busy” Is Something You’re Doing — And It’s...

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/02/16

In this episode, Kevin and Britta explore and challenge one of modern life’s most unquestioned assumptions: that being “busy” is inevitable, necessary, or effective.They draw a crucial distinction between "having a lot on" and being "busy." One is a neutral fact of your calendar. The other is something you’re actively doing in your mind. And it turns out that the mental noise we associate with productivity — urgency, pressure, overwhelm — isn’t helping us function better. It’s

Mini: What’s Your System for That?

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/02/09

In this episode, Kevin and Britta invite you to stop fighting your results and start looking at the hidden machinery creating them. We often feel like victims of our circumstances — struggling with low energy, stagnant income, or repetitive relationship patterns — but the truth is that our lives are perfectly designed to produce exactly what we are currently experiencing. Whether it’s a childhood survival mechanism or a "systemless system" of avoidance, we are all running protocols that

Affordability vs. Possibility — part 2

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/02/02

In this follow-up to last week’s conversation, Britta and Kevin dive deeper into the mechanics of how we actually create our lives, moment by moment.Are you living from affordability — a state rooted in past limitations, the inner prover, and the illusion of safety? Or are you operating from possibility, where creation comes from future vision and present-moment wisdom?Through personal stories — from financial “miracles” while living at rock bottom, to keeping your heart open after heartbreak, to

Affordability vs. Possibility — part 1

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/01/26

In this episode, Britta and Kevin explore a life-shaping distinction at the heart of powerful, creative lives: the difference between building from affordability versus building from possibility — or fear versus wisdom, fear versus truth.Affordability is familiar. It is rooted in the past, driven by memory, calculation, and self-protection. It asks what’s reasonable, what’s safe, and what won’t cost too much. It prioritizes approval and avoiding loss, often carrying tension in the body and a quiet

Physics vs. Engineering ft. Michael McDonald

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/01/19

In this episode, Britta is joined by recurring guest Michael McDonald for a deceptively simple distinction that can fundamentally change how problems are approached, understood, and often dissolved: physics vs. engineering.They explore the difference between “how do I fix this?” conversations and the more upstream question of “how does this actually work?” — and why so many problems persist not because we need better tactics, but because we’re operating from unexamined assumptions about how life,

Mini: Lower Stimulation Living

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/01/12

In this mini episode, Kevin and Britta explore what happens when you intentionally lower stimulation — not just obvious inputs like caffeine or alcohol, but the subtler forms many of us normalize: constant podcasts, books, philosophy, and information.Sparked by an emotional inquiry session where anger delivered a clear message — “you’re taking in too much” — Kevin shares his recent experiment with reducing sensory and informational input. What initially felt uncomfortable and even punishing quickly

Emotional Inquiry

Better Than Therapy ·

2026/01/05

In this 60th episode, marking 14 months of weekly conversations, Britta and Kevin explore emotional inquiry and the role of “cleaning up” in human development.Using a simple developmental map — waking up, growing up, showing up, f***ing up, and cleaning up — the conversation focuses on how unresolved emotional material shapes perception, behavior, and relationship when it remains unconscious.They reference Carl Jung’s insight that until the unconscious is made conscious, it will rule our lives and

Relationship Codes: When You’re Ready and They’re Not

Better Than Therapy ·

2025/12/29

In this episode, we explore one of the most charged and misunderstood dynamics in relationships — when one person is fully ready for commitment and the other is not there yet.We share the real story of a season in our relationship when Britta was a wholehearted yes to marriage and Kevin was not ready. Instead of treating this as a “problem,” we talk about the shift that changed everything: not knowing is not a problem.We look at why so much mainstream relationship advice pathologizes this moment,

Mini: Creating Your Own Experiments

Better Than Therapy ·

2025/12/22

What if the most transformative practice you could start wasn’t something you learned from a book or a coach — but something you invented yourself?In this mini episode, Britta and Kevin explore the power of designing your own experiments: simple, intentional practices that shift you out of old patterns, accelerate insight, and reconnect you with your own authority.Inspired by a real 30-day experiment Britta created for herself, we talk about:• why every “official” practice was originally made up by

What if the “how” mattered more than the “what”?In this continuation of our conversation with Fawn Miller, we explore the essential question that follows the recognition of our culture’s left-brain dominance: now what?Together, we unpack why trying to “fix” the problem with left-brain solutions only deepens the divide — and how true change begins in our orientation. From shame-based fixing to loving witness. From procedure to presence. From control to groove.Through stories, science, and lived

Unshaming: Trusting the Intelligence in What You Resist

Better Than Therapy ·

2025/11/03

What if shame isn’t a feeling, but a lens — a habitual way of seeing yourself or life as wrong?And what if recognizing that is the first essential step toward freedom?In this episode, we explore shame as a view of resistance — the stance that something in you or your experience should be different. From the subtle language of “should” to the impulse to control or manage what feels uncomfortable, we look at how this view creates suffering and separates us from the natural intelligence of life.Through
