Unfiltered: Quit Editing Your Life

We live in a world that makes it easier than ever to edit our photos, polish our stories, and present only the highlight reel. But what happens when we start filtering who we really are? In this episode of Dishing with Dr. Duer, Dr. Stephanie Duer sits down with Natali Rhymes for an honest conversation about authenticity in a culture obsessed with perfection. Together, they unpack the subtle ways we edit our lives, not just on social media, but in our relationships, careers, and even the stories we tell ourselves. Through personal experiences, candid reflections, and practical encouragement, they explore why authenticity can feel uncomfortable, how people-pleasing and comparison keep us stuck, and why embracing our unfiltered selves is one of the most freeing choices we can make. If you've ever felt pressure to have it all together or wondered what it would be like to stop performing and simply be yourself, this conversation is for you. It's time to quit editing your life and start living it. This episode is all about being authentically you- messy, meaningful, and unapologetically real.

Freedom to Flourish

What happens when we stop trying to control every outcome and start empowering people to do what they do best? In this episode of Dishing with Dr. Duer, Dr. Duer sits down with longtime friend, fellow "Why Not?" believer, and creator of an innovative Applied Mathematics curriculum to explore the transformative power of leading from strengths instead of control. Together, they discuss what it means to be given the freedom to lean into your unique talents, pursue work that energizes you, and create environments where people are trusted to thrive. From leadership and education to parenting and personal growth, this conversation challenges the idea that success comes through micromanagement and instead highlights the extraordinary results that happen when people are empowered to flourish. Whether you're leading a team, raising children, educating students, or simply looking to live with greater purpose, this episode will inspire you to let go of unnecessary control, embrace the strengths of those around you, and ask one simple question: Why not? Because when people are trusted to flourish, everyone grows.

Scrolling IRL: Dopamine, Devices and Digital Detox

What happens when the tools we use to connect and create start shaping us instead? As parents, educators, and professionals, how do we find balance? It’s crucial to recognize both the benefits and the dark sides of our digital lives. In this episode, Dr. Duer and Dyann Wilson, founder of Tech Care Twins, explore the complex relationship between technology, social media, AI, and mental health. They discuss the benefits of technological advances, the dark side of digital life, and practical strategies for balancing online and offline worlds, especially for parents and educators.

Grace Over the Grind: Learning Self-Compassion

So many of us show up for others with patience, empathy, and understanding, but when it comes to ourselves, the tone shifts. Why is self-compassion so hard? In this episode of Dishing with Dr. Duer, we unpack what self-compassion really is and why so many of us push beyond our limits in the name of productivity, excellence, or perfection. We explore the tension between striving for excellence and falling into perfectionism, and the real costs that come with it. From burnout to self-criticism, we talk honestly about what happens when we withhold grace from ourselves, and how that impacts our relationships, work, and overall well-being. More importantly, we offer practical strategies to help you recognize when you need to extend grace to yourself, challenge unrealistic expectations, and begin building a healthier, more compassionate inner dialogue. Joined by fellow counselor and colleague Sherri Treadway, this conversation is both grounding and empowering; a reminder that giving yourself grace isn’t selfishness, it’s necessary.

Beyond Appearance: Self Love is the New BBL

In a world of lip filler, lashes, weight-loss shots, and Brazilian butt lifts, it seems like everyone is chasing the next big glow-up. But what if the real glow-up has nothing to do with changing your body at all? In this episode of Dishing with Dr. Duer, we’re talking about why self-love might just be the new BBL. Dr. Duer shares her own journey toward self-acceptance, including extreme dieting and obsessive workouts, and why that didn’t work. Together, we unpack how social media, comparison culture, and modern convenience have shifted our focus toward appearance rather than purpose. We’ll explore what true self-love actually means (hint: it’s not self-obsession), why focusing on what your body is capable of can transform your confidence, and how embracing a little discomfort might be the key to reclaiming your happiest, healthiest self. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like you weren’t enough, this conversation is for you. The real glow-up might not be changing your body; it might be changing your mindset.

ADHD Gotta Love Me

In this insightful episode, Dr. Duer sits down with fellow counselor, Nacole Morgan, owner of Evergreen Counseling. They unravel the complexities of ADHD and explore the nuances of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a condition often misunderstood yet increasingly recognized. ADHD is not just occasional forgetfulness or disorganization; it’s a persistent challenge that affects daily functioning. Both Dr. Duer and Nacole share personal stories that illustrate the impact of ADHD on family life and emphasize the importance of creating supportive environments for individuals with ADHD, no matter the age. Whether you’re a parent, educator, spouse, or someone living with ADHD, this conversation will provide you with valuable perspectives and practical strategies.

Winning the Long Game: Co-Parenting Healthy Kids

Divorce is painful, complicated, and deeply personal. No two co-parenting stories look the same. In this episode of Dishing with Dr. Duer, we're talking about what it means to play the long game when it comes to co-parenting: prioritizing emotional safety, protecting childhood, and raising kids who feel secure even when family structures change. Drawing from both personal experience and professional work, Dr. Duer and colleague Natali Rhymes discuss what worked, what didn't, and why flexibility, respect, and restraint matter more than being "right". This conversation isn't about perfect co-parenting or fairy-tale outcomes. It is about doing the best you can with what you have and remembering that how you co-parent today shapes your child's relationships for years to come.
