Episode Details

Alessandra Charlesworth is a marriage and family therapy professional, leadership consultant, and host of the Unlearning Studio. For over 12 years, she has helped individuals, families, and organizations recognize the patterns that keep them stuck and replace them with healthier ways of thinking, communicating, and leading.

Her unique background in business development, HR strategy, and family therapy has shown her that whether at work or at home, the same human principles — emotional regulation, curiosity, healthy boundaries, and psychological safety — are the foundation of thriving relationships.

In this insightful conversation, Alessandra shares:

• Feeling the need to prove herself in her 20s

• The near-accident that shifted her path toward people

• How childhood patterns show up in adulthood

• Why the same skills strengthen marriages and workplaces

• Emotional regulation, boundaries, and psychological safety

• How to start unlearning what no longer serves you

If you’re in your 20s feeling stuck in the same relational or workplace patterns, this episode will help you understand why — and how to begin changing them.
