170. The Feminine Energy Hat

What is the little thing that makes you speak a little softer, kinder, or more gently? How does that little thing interact with the impulse to drive hard to get results and advocate forcefully? Some say that we are describing the competing energy forces inside of all of us - feminine versus masculine energy. This was not a topic co-hosts Melissa and Kerri knew much about. So, unbeknownst to them, they wisely used their feminine energy instincts to ask for help from guest expert Dr. Zerri Gross. Listen to this episode to learn about how both types of energy reside within all of us and how we can balance them as needed depending on what we are facing each moment.

168. The Women in Law Enforcement Hat

People of color have mixed experiences with law enforcement. Rarely do we get an insider's perspective behind the badge. And, even less frequently do we hear the voices of women officers. The Hats Podcast wanted to have this conversation, and former Secret Service Agent Holli Draines agreed to have it with us! Holli's story of life in law enforcement is inspiring, and a wonderful reminder of those "behind the blue wall" who truly honor their duty to protect and serve.

164. The Medically Assisted Death Hat

Any time we discuss death, the subject is emotional. This time it's emotional and controversial. The law in California changed some years ago to make the state one of the 11 that allow doctors to give people a lethal dose of medicine to end their lives. There are rules and circumstances that must be followed and exist, respectively. Returning to the show for a third time, guest therapist Thomas Pier walks us through the entire process. It's no exagerration to say listening to this episode could be a matter of painful life or peaceful death.

162. The Foreplay Hat

Foreplay is not what you think it is. Well, it probably includes things that automatically come to mind. But, it can (and, arguably should) be so much more than something that leads to sex.

Sex therapist and radio show show Dr. Jeshana Avent-Johnson schools us on many of the ways foreplay extends beyond the bedroom and into daily moments of you and your intimate partner's lives!
