I recently received a Spoonful of Comfort package, and it was such a great surprise. Homemade soup, fresh rolls, cookies, and the sweetest presentation. I ended up sending one to my lead producer and friend, Megan Leuven, because I love her and I love working with her to make a slight change of plans. She said it brought her a lot of comfort. So for moments big and small, recovery, celebration, or simply thinking of you, send a Spoonful of Comfort at sendaspoonful.com.

This message is a paid partnership with Apple Card. There's something interesting about how seamlessly certain tools fit into daily life. Apple Card is one of those things. It can be applied for right in the wallet app on iPhone, and approval can happen in minutes, so it's ready to use immediately with Apple Pay. I'm so glad the days of finding my wallet, fishing out the credit card, using it, putting it back in my wallet, or oops, maybe I use cash, where's the ATM? Enough. The first time I used Apple Pay on my phone with my Apple Card, I was like, this is the future. There's no going back. With Apple Card, purchases earn daily cash up to 3% with no points to track and no waiting for rewards. It's simply daily cash back that I earn on every purchase. There's even an option to open a high-yield savings account through Apple Card. And while I haven't done it yet, if I do, my daily cash can grow automatically over time without any extra effort. Because Apple Card lives in the Wallet app, it's always accessible on iPhone and can be used with Apple Pay at over 85% of merchants in the U.S. And the security of Face ID and Touch ID prevents unauthorized purchases, whether using iPhone or Apple Watch. To explore it yourself, you can apply for Apple Card in the Wallet app on your iPhone. Subject to credit approval, savings is available to Apple Card owners subject to eligibility.

We're very attached to our stories. Even if the stories make us feel miserable, we're very attached to them. As a therapist, I want to change the story. I want to help people to live differently.

Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb was trained to help people navigate the hardest moments in their lives. But just a few years into building her practice, she faced a personal crisis. And suddenly, Lori realized that maybe she was the one who needed to rewrite her story.

Episode notes

Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb built her career helping people question the stories they tell themselves. But when an unexpected heartbreak left her reeling, she found herself sitting in the patient’s seat – and discovered just how hard it can be to rewrite your own story.

This week, Lori joins Maya to share what being a patient taught her about being a therapist, how therapy might not actually be for everyone, and how we can all start to be more honest with ourselves.  

Check out Lori’s most recent book, “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone.” 

For more A Slight Change of Plans, we recommend our conversation with Julia Samuel, “Lessons from a Grief Therapist.”
