Patterns & Practice: Tools to Shape How we Live and Love
Patterns & Practice is a podcast dedicated to sharing real life practices to help you reshape patterns for living and loving — turning these into habits that support real, sustainable change.
Hosted by Jillian Eichel-Dobray, a licensed therapist and credentialed professional life and relationship coach with 25 years of experience working with people individually, as couples, and on transformational retreats and workshops.
This show explores the emotional and relational patterns that influence our lives. Each episode slows things down to look beneath what’s happening on the surface, offering insight, practical frameworks, and grounded ways to think about - and meet - life differently.
Every episode closes with a simple practice you can bring into your week, because change doesn’t happen through awareness alone — it happens through what we practice in real life.
