Welcome everyone to "The People On Dating Podcast"
I had the pleasure of having Dr. Charlynn Ruan on the show to discuss Overcoming Challenges & Build The Relationship We Want.
I had a great time talking with Dr Charlynn, and I'm glad she was able to find time to talk to People On Dating Podcast and like usual for me, I learned from the best.

Thrive's Mission
As both a psychologist and the CEO of Thrive, I cannot be complacent in unexamined biases, false beliefs, or internalized oppressive -isms. Seeing people be silenced or shamed by oppressive systems fills me with anger at the systems that oppress and fuels me to action to do my part in challenging and disrupting these systems. Being silent, nice, or indifferent are completely unacceptable responses.
I challenge myself daily to become more comfortable with hard conversations, cultivate curiosity and not judgment, exist in vulnerability not defensiveness, and do the hard thing when it is the right thing. My ongoing goal is to continue to become a safer human for all who are around me. Beyond this personal work, I utilize my privilege and resources to build a group practice and a company that combats injustice and is a safe space of healing and growth.
The Thrive Process
We only hire therapists committed to dismantling broken and oppressive systems and require all who work at Thrive to do ongoing individual and group work to spot and challenge systems of oppression in ourselves, the therapy room, and in the world. Our mission of creating safety and doing the work of social justice is ongoing, evolving, and humbling.
Through this work as a therapist and through the space we create at Thrive, everyone who comes into Thrive and into my office, can have the safety to let down the armor they have had to build to survive this broken world and let their vulnerable inner child come out and be healed. I want my clients to understand that sometimes we need a strong armor of defense and healing doesn’t mean we give that up fully.
We need the fierce anger of a mama bear to protect the vulnerable and change this world…but, we also need a space to remove the armor, rest a bit, let ourselves cry and be comforted, and know that who we are and what we do matters. In my office, that isn’t seen as weakness and it will not be used against you. It will be celebrated as courage and strength. That is the safe space I seek to create.”
