  Why you can’t stop comparing yourself to others (and what to do instead) 09.04.2026 45m

  In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey dives into why comparison isn’t something you can just “stop doing.”She explores the primal reasons your brain is wired for it and how it constantly scans, ranks, and tries to figure out where you stand in society, all to keep you safe and chosen.But what most people don’t realize is… every time you get pulled into comparison, there’s a cost.And the cost is you.In this episode, she breaks down why comparison happens, what it’s actually protecting you from, and why trying to “think your way out of it” usually keeps you stuck.Audrey talks about how to step out of the loop, by sharing personal stories, advice she gives clients, and real-time shifts you can make in the moment when you notice that voice of comparison to help you come back to yourself and your own happiness.

  The power of being alone (and actually enjoying it) 31.03.2026 32m

  In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about the fear of being alone and why it’s not actually about being alone at all.For many of us, alone time doesn’t just feel like solitude… it feels like rejection, loneliness, or even judgment. And because of that, we avoid it, not realizing how much it disconnects us from ourselves and our external relationships. Audrey shares her own experiences with solo travel, spending intentional time alone, and how creating space from others (even in her current relationship) can actually deepen connection, and build confidence, safety, and self-trust.This episode is about learning how to feel safe in your own presence and realizing that you might actually really like yourself and your own company. xx, AudreyWork With Audrey 1:1: https://www.audreybrothers.com/coachingMicrodosing Resources:https://stan.store/audreyabrothers

  Why you can’t let go (even when you know you should) 28.03.2026 46m

  In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about something we don’t hear enough when it comes to letting go...It’s not just emotional… It’s somatic.Your nervous system is wired to choose what feels safe and familiar, even if it’s no longer good for you. And that’s why letting go can feel so hard. It's not because you don’t know what to do, but because your body doesn’t feel safe doing it.Audrey shares her experience of leaving an 8-year relationship, and what that actually looked like for her — the fear, the attachment, the time it took, and the ways her system clung to something that no longer aligned because it felt like safety.She also talks about the nuance of relationships — how sometimes it’s not about leaving, but about looking at yourself and the ways you might be abandoning yourself within the connection. She shares a story about a friend who thought she needed to leave, but instead chose to show up differently, and how that changed everything.And beyond relationships, this conversation extends into the habits and patterns we hold onto every day, like the ways we avoid, distract, or numb, not because we want to stay stuck, but because it’s familiar.This episode is a reminder that letting go takes time, self-awareness, and most importantly, safety.If you want support with this work, you can find more about Audrey's coaching and microdosing links below:Work With Audrey 1:1: https://www.audreybrothers.com/coachingMicrodosing Support: https://stan.store/audreyabrothers

  Relationships as Mirrors: How to Improve Your Connections 10.11.2023 26m

  Today I will dive into how the relationships we have in our external world are a mirror of our internal world. Every relationship we experience is a learning experience. Any encounter that we have can make us discover things about ourselves - things we may already know and things we may not have uncovered yet. Whether in our romantic relationships, with family, with our friends, casual relationships, professional relationships, and even strangers. Any kind of relationship can have an impact on us and be used as an opportunity to grow, learn, and evolve into the best version of ourselves. Work with me 1:1: https://audreybrothers.com/ xx, Audrey

  Today on the SAME podcast, Audrey and Sarah dive deep into numerous topics pertaining to improving the relationship you have with yourself and the relationships you have with others.

  Letting Go of The Self Part 1 14.07.2023 29m

  Today, I will dive into one of my absolute favorite topics to speak upon - how life is not about finding the self, it is about LETTING GO of the self. This episode will kick off a mini series within the podcast on how to let go of the personal self and step back into your true self, which is pure awareness. In this episode, I will dive into who YOU truly are, how your psyche (personal self) was created, and how your personal self impacts you in every single moment of your life. In future episodes of this mini series, I'll explore the how thoughts, emotions, and the external world play a role in your personal self, and ultimately how you can let go of identifying as these things and instead learn to detach yourself from these external things and learn to objectively experience the moments of life that unfold around you. xx, Audrey
