“There’s a natural evolution to love. There’s a natural progression and evolving and expanding. At first it is about the promise, now it’s more about me choosing you here and now today.” – John Kim

Intro

Today John and I are doing something new for the show– We’re both interviewing each other for our own podcasts, at the same time! We jam on how breakups create the perfect conditions for reflection, how high-functioning codependency interferes with healthy relationships, and the ultimate purpose of love. Plus, I share some details about how I turned to the web to help more people over a decade ago!

John Kim is a licensed therapist, speaker, and author of best sellers, “I Used To Be A Miserable F*ck” and “Single. On Purpose.” He is a writer for Psychology Today among many other publications and has been featured in The New York Post, NPR, Armchair Expert, Vice, and currently has a television show in development at ABC based on his life. John changed the temperature of therapy twelve years ago, after going through a divorce. He started a blog called The Angry Therapist and quickly built a devoted following of fans who loved the frank and authentic insights that he freely shared on social media. He pulled the curtain back and showed himself by practicing transparency and sharing his story, something therapists are taught NOT to do. Kim became known as an unconventional therapist who worked outside the box by seeing clients at coffee shops, on hikes, and in gyms. He comes with you instead of at you. 

Today he lives in Altadena California raising a daughter with his wife. He writes books, sends daily texts, and still rides his motorcycle to coffee shops to help people rewrite their stories.
