EP10: The Inner Work Plot Twist: Can Working on Ourselves Help Change the World?

Episode Summary

This week on Plot Twist, we’re sharing Laura’s guest appearance on On the Rise with Marcius Extavour. Together, they explore why working on ourselves can be so difficult, what actually helps in therapy, and how understanding our emotions can help us respond to an overwhelming world.

Episode Notes

What do our personal struggles have in common with the world’s biggest problems? More than we might think.

Laura also reflects on her move from seeing clients to leading Beaches Therapy Group, and what she misses about being in the therapy room.

In this conversation:

What happens in therapy, and what makes it helpful
Why knowing what to do doesn’t always make change easier
How trauma and emotional regulation shape our responses
Climate anxiety, global uncertainty, and feeling powerless
Why connection and community matter when life feels too big

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay engaged without burning out, this conversation offers a place to start.

With thanks to Marcius Extavour, host of On the Rise, for the thoughtful conversation and the opportunity to share it with our listeners.
