In this episode, Laura sits down with Cameron Rosin, a registered nurse and plant-med educator based in Cairns, Australia. Together, Laura and Cam confront the meta and all things that make humans “whole,” including play, companionship, and connection. This episode flirts with existentialism and ego states. It’s as close as you can possibly get to psychedelic therapy without taking the psychoactive. With that, we encourage you to open your heart and your mind as you listen to this episode. Like Cam said, “Healing occurs when the story changes.”

Emotionally Available is BACK and we're kicking off season 2 with guided self-exploration in an episode that I want you to listen to and do absolutely nothing with. Yes, you read that correctly.
In this solo episode, Laura talks about core values and their importance in the dating and relationship space for anyone striving towards conscious dating. She teaches you how to uncover your core values, thanks to an incredible exercise on Science of People, and dives into the importance of discussing core values early on in the dating process.
