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.

The Greatest Break-Up Letter Ever Written
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this special Fourth of July episode (though the message and practice are relevant any time of year), Jillian explores an unexpected idea: the Declaration of Independence as one of history's greatest breakup letters!
Drawing from years of leading this powerful ritual in retreats and workshops, she shares how writing a breakup letter can help you release the behaviors, patterns and beliefs that no longer work for you—and why putting words on paper can create the kind of freedom that willpower alone can't.
Whether you're ready to break up with scrolling, procrastination, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or another familiar pattern, this episode offers a simple yet meaningful practice to help you declare your own independence.
