Natalie Morales is an actor and director. You’ve seen her on shows like Santa Clarita Diet, Parks and Recreation, and Grey’s Anatomy. (And so many other things.) Her film Plan B was released in 2021. She joins Jeff this week to play the role of the friend your therapist secretly loves and give the no b.s. advice you need to hear but would probably make you fire your therapist if they said it. She’s helping Jeff answer questions about keeping the spark alive, breaking dating patterns, petty texting, and whether or not it’s weird to date someone with your name.Listen to Jeff's podcast Big Dating Energy: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com/Follow Natalie Morales on Instagram: @nataliemoraleslovesOrder your copy of Big Dating Energy Out now!Subscribe to Jeff’s Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/therapyjeffJeff's TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/therapyjeff/Jeff's Instagram: https://www.tiktok.com/@therapyjeffDISCLAIMER: The insights shared in this podcast are for educational purposes only, and should not be seen as a substitute for professional therapy.

Existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre famously said we are condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, we are responsible for everything we do. It has long been known that navigating the human condition is a scary challenge, and life long commitment to many.

As always, we hope this light, relatable, yet philosophical conversation between Jeff and Danielle LaSusa provides some helpful perspective that furthers your journey, helping to bring listeners clarity, understanding, and meaning. Danielle’s Support Group: https://mother-den.mn.co/landingDanielle’s Newsletter: https://www.daniellemlasusa.com/subscribeAkashic Records: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashic_recordsJean-Paul Sartre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_SartreListen to more podcasts hosted by Jeff: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com/Jeff's TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/therapyjeff/Jeff's Instagram: https://www.tiktok.com/@therapyjeffDISCLAIMER: The insights shared in this podcast are for educational purposes only, and should not be seen as a substitute for professional therapy.
