#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

#45 - of Mixtape Therapy, Hannah and Scottie use Disney’s Tangled anthem “I’ve Got a Dream” as a lens to explore how our deepest hopes shape the way we live, love, and connect. From parenting to creative work to relationships, Scottie reflects on aligning daily choices with personal values, while Hannah shares how her own podcast became a dream-shaped path to healing and growth.

Together, they unpack:

• The beauty and challenge of chasing dreams, even when reality doesn’t match the fairy tale.
• How creativity and passion—whether acting, music, or therapy—can bring fulfillment without needing profit or fame.
• Why vulnerability, active listening, and authenticity matter more than picture-perfect success.
• The contrast between Disney’s happy-ever-after narratives and Christianity’s call to endure struggle with hope.
• The importance of honest conversations, showing kids both the joy and pain of life, not just the polished version.

With humor, honesty, and heart, Hannah and Scottie remind listeners that like the quirky dreamers in Tangled, our real dreams often don’t look perfect—but they’re worth living out authentically.

#44 - of Mixtape Therapy, Hannah and Scottie dive into Timothy Keller’s The Meaning of Marriage, unpacking timeless principles that speak to both religious and non-religious audiences. Hannah, a couples therapist and recent convert to Christianity, highlights the dangers of chasing the latest relationship “solutions” instead of leaning on enduring wisdom. Scottie shares how he’s applied these lessons in his own relationship, emphasizing authenticity, commitment, and showing up with intention. Together, they explore what it means to emulate Jesus in relationships without falling into extremes—finding balance between selflessness, healthy boundaries, and genuine love. Topics include:

• The deeper meaning behind biblical submission and why true leadership is rooted in service.
• Balancing modern progress with traditional values in love and marriage.
• The role of shame as a tool for moral reflection and personal growth.
• Why authenticity, gratitude, and unconditional love matter more than quick fixes.

With personal stories, candid insights, and thoughtful dialogue, Hannah and Scottie invite listeners to reflect on how they show up in their own relationships—and how timeless wisdom can still transform love today.
