#48 - of Mixtape Therapy, Scottie and Hannah explore how movies, communication, and conflict shape who we become. Hannah reflects on American Beauty and how she once used it as a teenage “compatibility test” for romantic interests, unpacking how its themes hit differently then versus now. The conversation expands into the complexities of nonviolent communication—how tools meant to foster empathy can sometimes be misused, leading to manipulation, silence, or even gaslighting. Drawing from Hannah’s work as a couples therapist and Scottie’s personal growth, they examine neutrality, boundaries, and the uncomfortable gray areas of conflict. Together, they reflect on what it really takes to have healthier, more honest conversations—at home, in relationships, and within ourselves.Co-Hosts:Hannah Shaperhttps://youtube.com/@hannahshaper6831https://www.intotheabliss.com/contactScottie Gassnerhttps://youtube.com/@heyjustbehttps://open.spotify.com/show/1THqG0Pch3Gj0kEAAhwmnA?si=VSWIflkQRgOsxUjMEK-o-wwww.heyjustbe.comCo-Hosts:Hannah Shaperhttps://youtube.com/@hannahshaper6831https://www.intotheabliss.com/contactScottie Gassnerhttps://youtube.com/@heyjustbehttps://open.spotify.com/show/1THqG0Pch3Gj0kEAAhwmnA?si=VSWIflkQRgOsxUjMEK-o-wwww.heyjustbe.com

On this episode Mixtape Therapy— a special crossover edition of just BE with Scottie G., Hannah and I get meta. We used ChatGPT to dig into our two previous episodes together, and it generated questions for us based on what it learned. Hannah first joined me on episodes 41 and 70, and now we’re flipping the script: an episode of Mixtape Therapy, using the concept of Mixtape Therapy, to make yet another episode of Mixtape Therapy. (Mind-blowing, right?) We also talk about you gotta “heal to be real”—and, of course, we talk a lot about me. That’s what happens when Hannah is in her element, using her superpowers.Guest:Hannah Shaperhttps://youtube.com/@hannahshaper6831 https://www.intotheabliss.com/contact Host: Scottie GIG: www.instagram.com/@heyscottiegIG: www.instagram.com/@justbe.with.scottiegwww.heyjustbe.com
