From the captivating notion that 'plants invented sex' to the orgasm gap and the transformative power of pleasure, my conversation with Kiana Reeves takes us on a journey through the realms of our most basic desires.
Kiana Reeves, a renowned somatic sex educator, and Chief Education Officer at Foria, brings a unique perspective to the conversation. With over a decade of experience in studying sex, embodiment, intimacy, pleasure, and wellness, she takes us on a journey that traces back to the very essence of life itself.
Tune in to this episode: Sex, Love, and Plants with Kiana Reeves
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Intimacy is more than just the act itself. It's about deepening connection, bonding, and experiencing a myriad of neurochemicals like oxytocin and dopamine, which are connected to pleasure and orgasm.
✔️ sex isn't just about pleasure—it's also a form of wellness. Viewing sex through the lens of wellness reframes it from being an 'extra' activity in our production-driven society to an integral part of holistic wellbeing.
✔️ The orgasm gap is a critical topic that needs addressing. Kiana highlights the discrepancy between men's and women's orgasm rates, stressing the importance of bridging this gap for women to genuinely enjoy and desire intimate experiences.
✔️ Breasts are not just a physical attribute but a deeply sensitive and fluctuating part of our body. It's vital to give them the care and attention they deserve, especially given their tenderness.
✔️ Embracing self-love is essential. The body deserves love and appreciation in its unique form.
Kiana Reeves is a Somatic Sex Educator, Doula, Intimacy and Relationship Coach, and the Chief Education Officer at Foria. She is a teacher, practitioner, speaker, and leading voice in the sexual wellness movement.
For over a decade, Kiana has been studying sex, embodiment, intimacy, pleasure, birth, and wellness. Her work in this field ultimately led her to join Foria as Chief Education Officer, where she has helped grow and shape the brand over the last five years.
Her approach is holistic and includes the emotional, biological, social, and spiritual nature of sex & intimacy.
She is a certified somatic sex educator & sexological bodyworker, embodiment, and intimacy coach, certified full spectrum doula, and mother.

Your intuition is something that’s already in you. All it takes is for you to develop your connection to it, so you can make more powerful and aligned decisions.
But accessing your intuition also means accepting that you won’t be perfectly in tune all the time and challenges will still happen.
But this doesn’t make your intuition less powerful. What matters is how connected you can be through the ups and downs of life.
Psychic medium and author Marilyn Alauria joins us to talk about how you can access your intuition with your physical senses and befriend it to guide you through life.
Tune in to this episode: How To Use Your Intuition To Make Powerful Decisions with Marilyn Alauria
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Notice how you feel before you do something. Have you ever had a weird gut feeling before going to that party or answering that email, and once you did, something bad happened? That’s your intuition teaching you to honor yourself and listen when these feelings come up.
✔️ Promise to trust for 30 days. Do this exercise if you’re struggling to surrender. Take in all the information your intuition gives you and see how it plays out. Keep an evidence journal to record good things that happened.
✔️ Your body is the instrument of your intuition. Summon up a pleasant and an unpleasant memory and associate a color for each. Pay attention if any of those colors show up for you before you make a decision. You can also observe where in your body these feelings are showing up.
✔️ Following your intuition doesn’t mean you’re immune to hard experiences. Shift your mindset: Everything in life happens FOR you. Hard times have something greater waiting for you on the other side.
✔️ The universe sometimes puts you on an active pause for a reason. Your life isn’t on hold, you’re being prepared for your desires to manifest.

No matter your sexual preference, navigating marriage can be a challenge. It’s important to know where you stand and the power you have in making your relationship your own.
Creative powerhouses Sophia and Heleana Blackwell share their experiences as a married same-sex couple, how they handle problems and difficult tasks in their business, and the importance of aligning your marriage with what you want instead of what society expects of you.
Tune in to this episode: Wife Material with Sophia and Heleana Blackwell
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Marriage isn’t the endpoint of a relationship. Now that you’re committed, it’s actually where all the work begins, like learning how to set boundaries, saying no, and exploring each other’s different facets. Marriage provides safety and containment for a deeper exploration.
✔️ Marriage needs to be queered, no matter your preference. You don’t have to submit to societal conventions. Be empowered to create your own traditions. Feel free to leave aside wedding practices that you don’t feel comfortable doing.
✔️ There is happiness and joy in same-sex marriages. It’s about time we break the myth that gay relationships are doomed to fail. Sophia and Heleana Blackwell aim to demolish the stereotype and proudly share their journey with the world.
✔️ Couples can make a business relationship work. Sophia and Heleana have recognized each other’s strengths and weaknesses. This allows them to easily bounce off their ideas, take breaks, and focus on being a couple when needed.
✔️ Creative collaboration can open up different sides of people. It also encourages trying new things and taking on new challenges that you wouldn’t have tried if it weren’t with your partner.
Whatever your gender identity and sexual preference may be, relationships come with ups and downs. But it’s crucial to be firm in your values, know what you want the relationship to look like and how you want it to feel, and curate it to become an adventure that brings joy to you and your partner.
Sophia Blackwell is a performance poet, and radio and podcast host for Resonance FM, The Polari Podcast, and Virgin Radio Pride. Her most recent collection with Burning Eye Books, The Other Woman, was longlisted for the Polari Prize.

Dear high-achieving people, this one’s for you.
You are the individuals who light up the world with your passion and zest for life.
But there’s a thin line between being driven and obsessive. It’s so easy to fall into the inability to accept where we are now as we chase after the next accomplishment.
Brandi Molitor aims to help energetic go-getters like you recognize your values, realign your life, and slowly enjoy the fruits of your labor. She joins us to share actionable tips and insights that you need to hear now!
Tune in to this episode: Why We're Obsessed with the Next Rung of Achievement with Brandi Molitor
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Detach yourself from the outcome. Identify the root of your desire. What are you hoping for when you get there? What will it mean if you fail? Accomplishing your goal isn’t going to fill the void or fulfill your unaddressed need to be loved and appreciated.
✔️ Check how you’re showing up daily. Have you been taking care of yourself? Focus on what lights you up about your work and how you’ve been treating yourself. Let go of imaginary milestones – you get to set the rules.
✔️ Break out from the blueprint by asking why. Media has conditioned us to pursue the typical image of success: a house, kids, and a high-paying job. Look at your goals through a judgment-free lens and think: Is this what you truly want?
✔️ Walk yourself through the worst-case scenario. What would you do if you were unsuccessful in reaching your goal? What’s the worst thing that could happen? Getting a clear idea will give you an objective view of what you’d have to deal with should the worst happen.
✔️ Not everyone is the best person to talk to about difficult decisions. Choose someone who is skilled in holding a safe conversation. A community or coach can see things through an outsider’s lens and give healthy feedback.
Brandi Molitor is a white, queer woman who is committed to living a life of truth. She works with high-achieving folks who want to align with their core desires and alleviate their frustration and confusion, bringing them closer to peace and clarity.

There’s no denying it. Nice guys are toxic.
Take it from emotional analysis and resolution coach Ashley Cox, who’s been working with nice guys in taking back their personal power.
Men get stuck in this unhealthy archetype in response to unattended childhood trauma and unmet needs.
While it’s impossible for women to force their male-bodied partners to change, they can make decisions that benefit the relationship while transforming it by showing up with more authenticity and honesty.
Tune in to this episode: Why Nice Guys Don't Get What They Want (and What To Do About It) with Ashley Cox
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Be in touch with your rage and pain and get comfortable with it. Nice guys are afraid of becoming a threat. So they let go of taking charge. Ashley Cox advises men to be the protector against bad men, their partner’s self-sabotage, and their own unaddressed trauma.
✔️ Be a safe place for your man to express himself authentically. Instead of poking his buttons, explore your disruptive behaviors that block him from showing his real self. Be vulnerable — go first.
✔️ Appreciate your partner’s efforts! Men and women are wired differently by nature. If you see your man being receptive and trying, don’t forget to praise him for that.
✔️ Women have more power than they realize. Not recognizing and disrespecting their efforts can hurt men emotionally and physically. In the end, both of you want connection. Work on building safety for it to happen!
Many women want an emotionally connected man but most of us aren’t ready to fully receive one. It’s time to find ways to soften up and own your role in the relationship and give him space to show up for you.
Ashley Cox MT, CTP-C, NLP is the first and only female international emotional analysis and resolution coach for ‘nice guys’.
She guides 'nice guys' to use their unreciprocated relationship to create personal power and more wealth.
In addition to getting and keeping their dream women, her clients have collectively generated millions of dollars from regaining their executive function and confidence after tackling subconscious blocks of fear, doubt, shame, guilt, anger, self-love deficit disorder, and pain with her.

In today's world, the definition of femininity is being reshaped. Power dynamics in our relationships are shifting, and with that shift we need to reconsider how we approach women’s success and leadership.
Renowned transformational executive coach and feminine leadership advocate Ekene Onu shares that authentic femininity is not about conforming to societal expectations but about embracing one's true self.
"Iconic womanhood" is about rising above the noise and redefining what it means to be a woman in a powerful position.
Tune in to this episode: Soft and Strong with Ekene Onu
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Successful women, especially those in male-dominated fields, often face a 'social penalty'. This makes them downplay their achievements to fit into societal norms. Rather than performative femininity, it’s time to advocate for genuine self-expression.
✔️ Masculinity is not about diminishing or overshadowing femininity. When men understand their noble role, they uplift and empower the women around them, and vice versa.
✔️ The dangers of perceiving femininity as merely ornamental. Femininity is not about just being looked at or adored; it has depth, purpose, and strength.
✔️ Masculine and feminine energies are not strictly tied to gender. It's about how we show up. While masculine energy is often seen as a boulder (strong and focused), feminine energy is like a flowing river (creative and intuitive).
✔️ Leadership attributes often ascribed to femininity such as nurturing, creativity, and intuition are powerful tools. They can be leveraged in business scenarios like project management, innovation, and gut-based decisions.
Ekene Onu is a Transformational Executive Coach, DEI consultant and Feminine Leadership expert. Following a career of two decades in as a healthcare professional, she reinvented herself and underwent a personal revolution to reclaim her feminine power and choose to create a life of passion & purpose. She received her training from several notable institutions, such as Georgetown University and Cornell University. Her unique holistic style of executive coaching supports the whole leader and her clients increase performance and feel more connected, happy and engaged, and find deep meaning in their work. Through these initiatives, she has built a community of intentional women who are profitable and purposeful.

Welcome to the 100th episode of my podcast!
It’s amazing looking back at all the wonderful conversations we’ve had and seeing this show evolve from just being about relationships to how we relate ourselves with the world.
Let me walk you through how our lives are all about optimizing my relationships from lessons I’ve learned working with a dog behaviorist. I assure you, this is going to be a juicy and eye-opening one!
Tune in to this episode: Celebrating 100 Episodes with the 3 B's of Relationship Dynamics
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Consider what role you need to step into for the relationship. Does the moment call you to be a buddy, butler, or a boss? Rethink how you show up in both personal and business connections.
✔️ Your union is a separate entity. If it feels wonky, one or both of you could be out of alignment with it. Sit side by side and observe it from an objective lens. Identify what the union needs in that certain situation.
✔️ Serve the relationship, not the person. Seeing it this way allows you to have clarity around habitual pitfalls in your relationships and makes you self-aware of how you’re presenting yourself.
✔️ There’s power in recalibration. You don’t need to chameleon yourself and sweep issues under the rug. Develop the skill of knowing and being flexible in giving what your relationships need.

All our lives, we find ourselves on a journey for purpose. But with that journey comes the need for the willingness to change.
Renowned keynote speaker and bestselling author Ken Foster guides us on harnessing the power of courage to elevate and improve ourselves.
It's time we start using courage as an internal force. By channeling the strength that it brings, one can rise above challenges, and refocus on a positive trajectory.
Tune in to this episode: The Courage To Step Into Your Greatness with Ken Foster
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Every choice made out of fear has a cost. It can create challenges and problems in our lives. Embrace the courage to make better choices that lead to joy, wealth, happiness, and a positive impact on the world.
✔️ To change, one needs to acknowledge and appreciate their present state. Don’t forget to celebrate where you are while also being open to growth and improvement.
✔️ Quality questions can determine the quality of our life. By asking powerful questions, we can open our minds to new possibilities and tap into a deeper understanding of ourselves.
✔️ Childhood traumas act as rust over our innate genius. The journey is about removing this rust. We have to dive into the subconscious to release the buried traumas and negative patterns.
✔️ Everything is connected. The principle of entanglement shows that our energy affects the world around us. By working on our personal energy and emotions, we enact change in our surroundings.
Ken D. Foster is a keynote speaker, best-selling author, business strategist, and news personality, who owns a broadcast & media production company. He is the executive producer and host of the Voices of Courage Show syndicated on TV, Podcast, plus Radio and broadcast in 185 Countries.

Navigating relationships can get tricky for women entrepreneurs, especially if their spouses are building businesses too!
Your relationship doesn’t have to go down the drain as you aim for success.
eWomenNetwork CEO and Founder Sandra Yancey shares her advice for fellow visionaries on how to keep the fire alive between you and your spouse while hitting those business milestones!
Tune in to this episode: Making Working Together Work with Sandra Yancey
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Intentionally shifting your energy from CEO to wife is key. We underestimate the power of a transition ritual. Like how we prepare ourselves to meditate or worship, we need to ready ourselves for the various roles we play.
✔️ Be vocal about your wants and needs. If you’re not in the mood to cook, say it. Don’t expect your spouse to be a mind-reader.
✔️ Respect each other’s sandboxes. It’s best for both of you to ask permission if one of you needs resources from the other’s business. Respect boundaries and practice making clear requests.
✔️ Create structures around meetings. Have a clear agenda and desired outcome and list off-topic ideas and concerns to be discussed in another session. This method works for both business and family meetings! What matters is for everyone to be mentally present.
✔️ The real test of love is how you handle difficult times. You have to learn how to find ways to stick together and work it out. Look back at what has helped you survive, so you can appreciate each other.
As a successful, award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, and TV personality, Sandra Yancey is recognized as a Top 100 Difference Maker by The International Alliance of Women.
Being a woman who grew up on welfare and bootstrapping her way to success as the CEO & Founder of eWomenNetwork, Sandra understands first-hand the struggles that entrepreneurs face on the road to happiness and financial success.
Sandra’s mission is to help one million women entrepreneurs each achieve one million dollars in annual revenue while showing them that you can still live a full life as a spouse and parent with plenty of fun.

Growing up, women have been conditioned to be chronic people pleasers. We’ve been taught to just nod and accept whatever comes our way. But this mindset doesn’t actually work in our favor.
Mind Unf*cker Krisha Young aims to help women break unhealthy patterns of self-betrayal and have the courage to set gracious boundaries with the people around them.
Saying no can be an act of love and service. Release your old beliefs and start creating a life that aligns with and supports your truth.
Tune in to this episode: Just Say No: Creating Better Boundaries with Krisha Young
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Boundaries are a communication tool to get your needs met. We all have preferences, which when compromised, can tend to lead to resentment.
✔️ Follow the PEACE principle! This is what boundaries do for us:
- Protect us from boundary violators
- Energize us
- Affirm our truth
- Give confidence and clarity to speak up
- Empower us
✔️ You can’t change people, so take personal responsibility. You’re here because of childhood wounding and patterns, just like everyone else. Have compassion and work on empowering and healing yourself.
✔️ Equip yourself with the right tools. Often, we don’t know how to respond when our boundaries are crossed. Krisha shares techniques on how to deal with that.
✔️ Boundaries are a way for us to let people in at the right distance. Instead of putting up walls, we need to be more self-loving and set our boundaries with graciousness.
Mind Unf*cker and Founder of the Pattern Release Coaching Framework, Krisha Young teaches successful entrepreneurs how to have healthy boundaries and release old patterns of self-betrayal. She’s an entrepreneur, coach, published author, and mom of two boys who lives in Vancouver, Canada.

So many powerful female entrepreneurs struggle with finding the best relationship and striking the balance between love and career.
While it’s impossible to be the “perfect” partner, mom, and business owner at the same time, all it takes is being honest and realistic about what we want.
African Shaman Makhosi Nejeser joins us to share her personal experience and expertise as a parent-slash-businesswoman. Get to know how she cultivated a healthy marriage that suits her needs and personality, and how you can do it, too!
Tune in to this episode: Having It All: Success and Love with Makhosi Nejeser
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Shift away from roles and into responsibilities. You and your partner possess unique strengths. Sit down and delegate tasks according to who can do them best – and it doesn’t have to adhere to societal expectations!
✔️ Schedule regular meetings. Do a quarterly check-in on your vision as a family and where you want it to go while honoring each other’s needs. Get everyone engaged with important aspects of the household, such as daily meals!
✔️ Be honest with finances. While having separate ones, set up a joint savings account where you and your partner contribute according to your current income. This money can be for activities or items that you as a couple or the whole family can enjoy.
✔️ Know each other’s values and communicate through them. If you’re the passionate, imaginative type while your partner’s the realist, make him understand your plans by speaking his language. Present data. Weigh the pros and cons. Estimate the possible cost.
✔️ Allow yourself to receive support. Let go of control! Don’t be afraid to ask for help – especially with self-development. We’re destined to do great things, but our loved ones want to contribute to our dreams too.
You are an amazing woman with a big vision. And your personal life can still flourish as you hit one huge goal at a time!
Makhosi Nejeser is an authentic African Shaman, specializing in personal development and energetic alignment. She is a human potential expert and spiritual ascension master.

I come to you today in a state of grief.
I’ve recently lost a teacher and soul friend, Sally Kempton. With this recent loss, I’ve been reflecting on my teachings around love being the fundamental nature of life.
Our current society has often glorified moving on and snapping out of grief as quickly as possible.
But I invite you today to welcome this beautiful emotion into your heart and allow it… to help you explore the deepness of your ability to feel and get in touch with what makes you human.
Tune in to this episode: Allowing Grief To Open You
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Grief is a portal into the depth of love beyond the physical. Although your deceased loved one is no longer in this world, grief is the connecting thread that binds you. As long as you keep kindling the fire, you’ll never be apart.
✔️ Avoiding our emotions blocks us from accessing who we really are. Skating along the surface of our feelings leaves us with unfulfilling relationships. Don’t be afraid of getting in touch with the raw love in your heart.
✔️ Let yourself grieve. Let it crack you open. Embrace its presence. Isn’t it amazing that this beautiful feeling you have is the foundation of all life?
✔️ Use grief to teach you to discover the beauty of your heart. It shouldn’t be anything to be ashamed of. Emotions connect us with other living beings. Find how grief feels in your body, and bring it back out into the world as love.

When we’re in a bad mood, we often create more wreckage than necessary.
If we did things a little differently, we could make space to feel our feelings while keeping our relationships strong and connected.
With only one day left on our Paris trip, my phone was stolen, and I was so focused on the pictures I lost that I was allowing it to wreck our last 24 hours of fun, until my fiancé Patrick put his foot down and I agreed to shift my state.
We were able to navigate this tricky situation with tips that I’ll be sharing to help you shift your mood and shield your loved ones from unnecessary conflict.
Tune in to this episode: When You're in a Bad Mood.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ When bad things happen, give yourself grace! Let people around you know that you need some space to decompress. This prevents you from venting your frustrations on your loved ones and prevents long-term wreckage.
✔️ Ready to shift? Try box breathing. But if you’re not prepared to change, don’t force it! If you’re ready, do several rounds of inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding, each one for the same count of (at least) four, depending on your comfort level with holding out your exhale.
✔️ Sweat out the bad mood! If breathing exercises aren’t for you, get moving. Dance to your favorite song. Pound a pillow. Masturbate. Take a walk or do any rigorous physical activity to shift your state for the better.
✔️ Steer your attention somewhere else. When we’re pissed, our attention tends to focus itself inward. The key is to get out of your head – step outside. Spend time in nature. Look at something beautiful. Pet cute puppies at the animal shelter. Do what feels good to shift your focus.
Don’t let your nervous system control you! You have more power to shift your state than you might believe. If you don’t want to, no problem! Take your time, and consider how you could be affecting the people around you by choosing to stay where you are.

What’s your course of action in the face of adversity?
It can be all too easy to fall into the trap of despair and self-blame.
But entrepreneur and cancer thriver Nika Stewart chooses to look at the bright side and find creative ways to have fun and thrive no matter what challenges life brings her way.
You don’t have to go through hard times all alone. Learn to seek support, let go of shame around your hardships, follow your intuition in designing a recovery process that feels good to you, and unpack the life lessons in this challenging time of your life.
Tune in to this episode: A Counterintuitive Approach to Conquering Adversity with Marie-Elizabeth Mali and Nika Stewart.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Go through it in a way that feels good to you. Being diagnosed with cancer is a well-documented process that many people have experienced. But Nika’s intuition encouraged her to do things differently.
✔️ Document your experience. Everyone faces and has to overcome some kind of adversity. Write yours down. Take photos and videos, and share your story online. You’ll never know who will be uplifted and inspired by your content.
✔️ Imperfection creates connection. Don’t wait to put on makeup before getting on camera. Allow people to fall in love with your authentic self. You’re also giving permission for others to show up as they are!
✔️ Find the funny in your situation. Vulnerability can mean looking for humor in your situation. While cancer can be depressing for most, Nika chose to turn it around. What’s more hilarious than automatically grabbing a barrette even though you have no more hair?
✔️ Be grateful for the lessons. What is this challenge trying to teach you? This setback could be your chance to review your life trajectory and design it the way you want to.
You don’t have total control over your life circumstances. But you can take charge of how you feel about them.
As a working mom, entrepreneur, social media influencer, and cancer thriver, Nika Stewart offers a powerful message of resilience. Nika helps entrepreneurs show up and shine on video as the unique, brilliant superstars that they are, so they can get the recognition they deserve and make a meaningful impact as they grow their businesses. She's on a mission to inspire other women to defy the expected and create their own paths to joy and fulfillment.

Happy Fourth of July! As we celebrate our independence, I invite you to reframe this holiday as more than just liberation from an oppressive regime.
Even if we as a collective have survived this harsh experience, sometimes this oppressiveness gets recreated – especially in our relationships.
We find ourselves in the same unhealthy patterns and dynamics with different people.
In this episode, I invite you to reflect on our interconnectedness – how we treat the world and the people we meet affect everything around us.
Tune in to this episode: Happy Interdependence Day!
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Interdependence is an elevated way of approaching life. It’s a necessary part of our survival and moves us closer to the truth of what’s really going on.
✔️ Free yourself from limiting beliefs! What are the habitual patterns that you would like to change? This could be what is holding you back from imagining a better possibility for your life.
✔️ Consider how oppression shows up in your life. You could have liberated yourself from your family’s oppressive conditioning but it reoccurs in your workplace or a spiritual community.
✔️ Be independent as you exist in the world. Being free involves interrogating all the different ways you’re imprisoning yourself – in your thinking, conditioning, and societal expectations.
What are some spots in your life that you want to be free from? Take the first step in showing up that honors yourself and others and create that space of freedom.

Conscious living means being aware of your beliefs, feelings, and perception of your current situation and making aware choices.
That said, having this level of self-awareness doesn’t guarantee sunshine and rainbows in your relationships. You or your partner could still be making decisions on auto-pilot.
Best-selling author and Conscious Living coach Jackie Woodside shares her expertise on how to be conscious in every aspect of your life, break your ego-addiction, and develop mindfulness through different techniques.
Tune in to this episode: Elements of Conscious Relationships with Jackie Woodside.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Master your ego. Even without a substance addiction, you could be hooked on being always right. If there are problems that repeatedly surface in your life, you could be the issue — which is a hard and necessary pill to swallow.
✔️ Apply conscious habits in your daily life. Work with a therapist or a coach. Do self-reflective and gratitude journaling. Meditate for at least a minute to center yourself and release stress (quick but effective!).
✔️ Be committed to each other’s happiness. Let whoever feels the strongest about something win! Let go of the need to always get your way. Stepping back and asking for a neutral outsider’s opinion can also help.
✔️ The health of the relationship is top priority. Make choices for the good of the relationship instead of clinging to your personal agenda.
✔️ Don’t make the other person wrong for what you need. Clearly communicate what you want and don’t force it on your partner if they’re not ready to change.
Jackie Woodside is a USA TODAY and four-time Amazon bestselling author, TEDx speaker, international trainer, and professional coach. She is the founder of the Curriculum for Conscious Living and the Conscious Living Summit, and trains coaches around the world to deliver this life-changing work. She is a certified professional coach and licensed psychotherapist with a 30-year experience in both fields. She wrote books, such as “Younger Self Letters: How Successful Leaders and Entrepreneurs Turned Trials into Triumph” and “Money Vibe: Your Financial Freedom Formula Whether You Have Money or Not”.

Do you feel like nothing is working out for you in business and relationships?
The external world and people in it are usually mirrors of a message you need to hear. If you’ve been having the worst dates and low-balling clients (or lack thereof), it has to do with your mindset and how you show up.
Joya Dass, founder of the Women’s Leadership Lab, shares her expertise on raising your vibration and becoming a magnet to your desires, getting rid of imposter syndrome, and creating space for what you want.
Tune in to this episode: Become What You Wish To Attract with Joya Dass.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Shift internally for the universe to match your song. Work on being that person your ideal partner would want to date. It all starts with you. You don’t have to force it. Instead, make space for your desires to come to you.
✔️ Enjoy your own company. Self-love and self-sufficiency are the foundation of a healthy relationship. Once you realize you’re a co-creator, you’ll see that you can have anything you want.
✔️ Beat imposter syndrome with this hack. Share your knowledge! Choose a format that suits you best — a podcast, blog, or short and long-form video. This allows others to see what it would be like to be in your world. Content can invite like-minded people to join in on your fun!
✔️ Do this when you’re in a low-vibe state. Instead of trying to clean yourself up, tune in and deeply feel what you’re feeling. Face the problem first so you can naturally rise to high-vibrational energy.

Each of us is living in our own timeline.
The pressure to follow the same path and timeline as everyone else is an illusion.
Just take a breath and say this aloud: “Tough titties!”
In this episode, award-winning copywriter and Talking Shrimp founder Laura Belgray shares her challenging experiences growing up, the stress of fitting in among cliques, finding her soulmate (unexpectedly!), and why the world needs more of your stories.
Tune in to this episode: Tough Titties with Laura Belgray
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ People grow and change. In any environment, everyone we’ve met can transform and have different behaviors and interests as life goes on. Someone who may have been harsh to us back then can do better in the present.
✔️ Tough Titties is a rejection to conform to societal timelines. There’s nothing wrong with being a late-bloomer. What we want comes to us in its own time.
✔️ Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. When looking for your special someone, date multiple people at the same time. Have distractions so that this person you like doesn’t become your sole focus. This allows things to ripen in their own time.
✔️ Practice energetic agility. It can be tricky to shift your energy from what you’re hyper-focused on to a loved one that needs your attention. Look for ways you can make the transition more smooth. It can be a few deep breaths or verbally letting them know how you feel.
✔️ You have so many stories in you! Stories are great tools for selling or commanding a room. There’s no such thing as a boring life. Let the world know your truth!
✔️ Choosing the right relationship is a service. You want to be in one that welcomes your authentic self and encourages your partner to be real, too. When people are comfortable in their own skin, they pass this energy on to others, creating a positive ripple effect.
Laura Belgray is founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure, and author of Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F'ing Worst. An award-winning copywriting expert, she helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she’s seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your Buy button.
In addition to online types, Laura’s list of clients and credits include NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many, many more. So if you watch TV -- and don’t skip the commercials -- you've probably seen her words on air.
Tough Titties, her first book, came out via Hachette in June, 2023.

Today’s episode is inspired by a quote I read the other day from screenwriter Shonda Rhimes:
“I am not lucky. You know what I am? I am smart. I am talented. I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way. And I work really, really hard. Don’t call me lucky. Call me a badass.”
We have this rampant habit among women of shrinking ourselves because we think it will make others feel comfortable around us.
Now’s the time for you to quit it and start embodying your full worth!
Tune in to this episode: Quit Downplaying Your Accomplishments
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Make your own version of Shonda Rhimes’ quote. Like this: “I am not _____. You know what I am? I am _____. I am _____. I take advantage of _____. And I _____. Don't call me _____. Call me _____.” Be sure to choose words that resonate with you.
✔️ Know the truth of your brilliance! Without your efforts, you wouldn’t be where you are today. Every day for at least 30 days, read aloud the above acknowledgment you’ve written for yourself and let it transform your vibration.
✔️ Be anchored in your power. Do you wonder why the sales didn’t happen or you keep attracting the wrong people? It’s because you haven’t embraced the wonders of who you are.
✔️ Knowing your worth isn’t arrogance. It’s confidence. And it doesn’t have to mean being bigger or smaller than others. Just be the right size that tells the truth of your story.

Are you struggling to find the right partner?
This can be because you still have some inner resistance that’s preventing you from being fully ready to be in a relationship.
Best-selling author and Soul Guide Dr. Pamela Moss talks about how you can release your love blocks and make your way to your soulmate in a divine way, while staying grounded and connected until they show up.
Tune in to this episode: Letting Love Win with Dr. Pamela Moss
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Allow your intuition and imagination to guide you. Our resistance to love can come in different forms. But you can get past your resistance by allowing and acting on your intuition..
✔️ Do this practice to call in your soulmate. But only when you’re absolutely ready to receive them! Imagine them somewhere far away from you and breathe them in and out of your heart as they get closer and closer.
✔️ Be clear on how you want to feel when you’re with your soulmate. It can be deep intimacy, a comforting type of warmth, or feeling carefree. Whatever it is, be specific so you can spot your soulmate when you have that feeling around them that you desire.
✔️ The universe makes it happen when you’re ready. Nothing can get in the way of you and your soulmate when you let go of your resistance and are clear.
✔️ The body is your teacher. When you’re forcing something that isn’t supposed to be, it can create physical manifestations like sickness. Listen to and act on your body’s signals.
Dr. Pamela Moss is the Author of #1 international bestseller, The Soul Guide to a Magical Life and the Host of The BLOCK-Buster Show.
For 17 years, she’s used her proprietary Soul Alignment System to help coaches, healers, and consultants worldwide uplevel their mindset and dramatically grow their income, impact, and leadership.
Pamela is on a mission to Light up the lights, heal the healers and serve the servants — so we can together co-create the New Earth our hearts know is possible.

Seven years ago, our dog Phoenix started showing signs of fear aggression.
We took her to a dog trainer that taught us this valuable practice to calm her down — which we later discovered also helped us create deeper connection, intimacy, and playfulness with one another!
Hostility and irritability are usually rooted in being ungrounded in some way.
With this simple practice of closing the gap, you can help your partner (and yourself!) relax and settle down, coming into greater connection again instead of spinning out into a fight.
Tune in to this episode: Closing The Gap
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Your presence is enough. When your partner seems ungrounded, just sit near them in silence. Allow your calm nervous system to support their energy in settling.
✔️ Get playful when closing the gap. With each other’s consent, of course! It can look like a bear hug, or gradually inching closer to your partner when they’re raging, or speaking in a playful tone.
✔️ It takes courage to go first. Be the bigger person, not to gain power over them, but because you’re more interested in contributing to having a connected relationship than you are in winning a war.
✔️ Apply this practice anywhere! In a more professional setting, you could breathe with a team member or client, or sit near them without saying anything. Contribute your relaxed energy to support them in settling down.

Rudeness is on the rise. While it seems easier to let our emotions get the best of us, doing this takes us out of alignment from a life of peace and joy.
Sam Horn, author and CEO of the Intrigue Agency, graces the show and shares valuable tips on what to say (and not say) when you just don’t feel like talking, and how to prevent tricky situations from getting worse.
We can’t control outside circumstances, but we can control how we respond and what we say.
Tune in to this episode: Talking on Eggshells—What to Say When You Don't Know What To Say
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Never use “but” in a disagreement.
This signals an explanation that comes across as an excuse. It also signifies that you aren’t holding yourself accountable for what happened.
✔️ Apologizing doesn’t mean you’re responsible.
It’s a way to acknowledge the other person’s inconvenience. Giving them compassion avoids further conflict.
✔️ Say “Yes” more often.
Instead of telling children, “No, you can’t do this.” Give them a condition that they need to accomplish before they can get what they asked for.
✔️ Be more specific.
Avoid sweeping generalizations. Find out the root of the issue and address it before jumping to conclusions.
✔️ No one can make us angry without our consent.
We all have control over our own emotions. You have that power.
✔️ Set boundaries without getting angry.
You can use non-verbal cues to get people to back off when you feel like a boundary has been crossed.
Sam Horn, CEO of the Intrigue Agency, is a 3-time TEDx speaker and author of 10 books - including her newest available in June, Talking on Eggshells, plus Tongue Fu!, POP!, Washington Post bestseller, Got Your Attention? - that have been featured in NY Times, Fast Company, Forbes, on NPR, and taught to Intel, Cisco, Oracle, Capital One, Fidelity, and Accenture.
Richard Branson's New Now Leaders, TED Fellows, NASA, and EO have all hired Sam to coach their executives on media training and public speaking.
Sam was Executive Director of the Maui Writers Conference (which Writers Digest called "the best writers conference in the world") for 17 years, and has helped hundreds of clients crystallize quality books and keynotes that have scaled their impact and income - for good.

Many of us caring-oriented people often stay longer in conversations longer than what feels good to us. And you just don’t leave because the other person really wants to connect!
What ends up happening is you get frustrated and release it to your partner – and that’s not good.
Here’s my piece on how you can leave the situation with kindness and compassion.
Tune in to this episode: When You Don't Feel Like Talking
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Develop a lexicon as a cue that you’re at maximum capacity.
For my partner Patrick and I, it sounds like, “Hey, I’m full.” This allows us to seamlessly end our talk or transition to another topic.
✔️ Give each other permission to be honest.
This prevents the other from taking it too personally.
✔️ Leave conversations effectively.
We all can get sensitive to feeling abandoned or rejected. Express how genuinely interested you are but your bandwidth is unable to take in more. The other person will feel comfortable employing this technique with you and others too.
✔️ It’s a kindness to be true about what’s happening to you.
Talking to somebody who doesn’t want to be there feels terrible. Agreeing on a signal prevents conflict and creates room for more intimate conversations in the future.

Have you ever said something to your partner and thought, “I sound like my father,” or, “That’s something my mother would say.”
Epigenetics tells us that we tend to pick up tendencies and recurring issues that we heard and experienced in our families of origin — especially with our parents.
Therapist Johanna Lynn breaks down the importance of examining our family lines, how our current relationship problems could be the product of past conditioning, and what we can do about it.
Tune in to this episode: Dropping 'The Story' - Understanding Intergenerational Influences on Relationships with Johanna Lynn
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Understand the influence of past generations.
By exploring our ancestors' relationships and environments, we can uncover clues to our own patterns and behaviors.
✔️ Look at repeating relationship issues.
Repeating arguments, boundary issues, communication problems, and people-pleasing tendencies are some common family issues that need to be examined.
✔️ Map out your three-generation genogram.
Doing this can help you identify and understand how certain traits or behaviors have been passed down through your family lineage.
✔️ Practice self-awareness and acceptance.
Once you become aware of your family conditioning and how it has influenced you, you can now work on accessing and embracing your authentic self.
✔️ Heal through connection.
Openness and vulnerability gives you a chance to improve family dynamics and foster a deeper relationship with your loved ones.
Johanna Lynn is a highly trained systemic therapist who offers resolutions for long-standing issues to participants in online classes with a focus on dismantling family patterns, restoring relationships, and cultivating resilient boundaries.

It can be hard to get over people, right?
The end of a relationship, going through the aftermath, disconnecting, and disengaging are things we might feel impossible to overcome.
Go easy on yourself. Today, I’ll be sharing three pieces of advice you can apply to start letting go.
Tune in to this episode: Getting Over Somebody.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Sing a sad song, and be done!
This was said by a cousin of mine 30 years ago while I was bawling over a breakup. Allowing yourself to deeply feel the emotions helps you slowly detach from this person.
✔️ Snip energetic ties.
Consciously and externally separating isn’t enough. Cut that energetic bond using your imagination. Ensure you’re ready to do this and be clear with your desired outcome.
✔️ Start taking actions that nourish you.
Go back to nature. Eat healthy food. Give yourself a treat every now and then. This can help you transition back into your life and out of the breakup cave.

Our bodies are our best friends. You may not know it, but it’s always leading us to what’s best.
Activist, artist, and thought leader Sonya Renee Taylor shares her journey of listening to and practicing compassion with her body. This physical vessel we have never does us wrong, and the wealth of knowledge it provides us once we start paying attention creates so much joy and ease in our everyday lives.
Tune in to this episode: Radical Self-Love with Sonya Renee Taylor
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Our bodies don’t need language to understand energy.
Before you can even make a bad decision, your body can prevent you from making it. It would take longer for your mind to process.
✔️ Your intuitive relationship with your body is a gift. Honor it.
Your body knows better and is looking out for you. Symptoms don’t mean you’re broken. It’s your body lovingly communicating to you that something needs to change.
✔️ Think about your relationship with your body.
You’re on the same team. Let go of old conditioned beliefs about your body. Practice self-awareness to combat those thoughts and do things differently.
✔️ Radical self-love involves generosity.
It’s knowing that there’s so much in the world for all of us. Nothing is completely ours. We have the sacred obligation to share the good that comes through us.
Sonya Renee Taylor is a world-renowned activist, award-winning artist, transformational thought leader, author of six books including The New York Times best-selling The Body is Not an Apology, and founder of the international movement and digital media and education company of the same name whose work has reached millions of people by exploring the intersections of identity, healing, and social justice using a radical self-love framework. She continues to speak, teach, write, create, and transform lives globally.

Attracting and creating the relationships we want requires a level of intentionality.
International speaker and best-selling author Dan Mangena shares his way of finding potential partners and ensuring they align with his values by asking a set of specific questions.
Tune in to this episode: 4 Questions To Elevate Your Relationships with Special Guest Dan Mangena on Necker Island
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Does the person properly represent who you are? Pick relationships that meet you at the value that you hold yourself. They should align with your values and make you proud of calling them your partner.
✔️ Does the person heal and lift you up? Avoid people who put you down when you’re voicing out your accomplishments. Both of you should elevate each other’s frequencies when you’re together.
✔️ Do they hold you to the highest standards? Your partner must keep you accountable and remind you of your lofty goals. Words of encouragement are also a plus.
✔️ Do they hold themselves to the highest standards? You can’t be the only one growing. They must also be committed to self-improvement and be open to feedback in making the relationship better.
Daniel Mangena is an International Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Broadcaster, and Coach. He is best known for his highly successful Micro2Millions program, being the author of Stepping Beyond Intention and his Do it With Dan and Beyond Success podcasts. He is completely self-made and has spent decades perfecting his world-class coaching methodology.
His mission statement: “To spearhead an evolutionary uplift in universal consciousness, by awakening people to the importance of their unique role and enabling them to manifest their dream life.”

Kids. Sex. In-laws. These are things that may come up in relationships. But the topic of money is always avoided.
Bringing two individuals together with differing money stories can either become a catalyst for conflict or a start of a deeper connection.
Real estate mogul and Millionaire Coach Krisstina Wise joins us to talk about how you and your partner can make finances a safe discussion and align your money with your dreams.
Tune in to this episode: Love and Money with Krisstina Wise
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ It starts with you.
What can you do? How can you grow? What can you learn about the fundamentals of money laws and money mechanics? It’s also ideal if you can study these with your partner.
✔️ Money is the easiest thing to fix.
Have the conversations, know the basics, go through your current numbers, set your dreams, and manage your money according to the roles you determine through a money date.
✔️ Savers and spenders can get along.
Yes, you can make it work! As the saver keeps finances in check, the spender reminds them to invest money into the relationship.
✔️ Align and set goals.
Be clear with what you and your partner want to achieve, how much you need, and what it takes to get there. When you know what you want, you can achieve anything.
✔️ A relationship requires business teamwork.
Don’t let it become the last frontier. Money causes so many problems when left by the wayside. But when given attention, it can be the fuel to the passionate fire of your relationship.
Krisstina Wise is a mom of two, an avid runner, some would say a reading and learning addict, an obnoxiously loud and frequent laugher, and a woman on a big mission.
She’s also a real estate mogul, Millionaire Coach, and creator of several multi-million dollar businesses including Goodlife Luxury, The Paperless Agent, and WealthyWellthy.
She’s the host of the Wealthy Wellthy Life podcast and founder of the Wise Money School.

How do you get someone to open up to you?
Here’s the tricky thing: When you come from a position where you HAVE TO get someone to open up to you, you’re screwed.
Just like with any other desire you have in your life, it all starts with you – your openness to receiving it, even if it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to.
Tune in to this episode: How To Get Someone To Open Up
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Speak with zero judgment. No name-calling or accusatory language. See where the other person is coming from. Be open to what both of you are expressing.
✔️ Be receptive, even if what they say hurts. Encourage them to tell you more. Don’t invalidate their feelings but rather seek the truth. Thank them for speaking up.
✔️ Be a basin for love and openness. The intimacy flows when you allow it to come to you. Before difficult conversations, get rid of excess energy so you can receive your partner’s feedback with compassion.
✔️ Don’t squash the thing you desire. Everyone’s expression is different. Whether it lands softly or hard, inviting it creates more depth in your relationship.

What does it mean to be a man in the modern world?
The tides are shifting. Roles are changing. And emotions and vulnerability are now at the forefront.
Growing up in a machismo-focused household, award-winning author, speaker, and actor Carlos Andrés Gómez speaks his truth to inspire others and society as a whole to break generations of toxic gender norms. Hear his story and his ways of handling his relationships in the most balanced way.
Tune in to this episode: Reimagining Modern Manhood with Carlos Andrés Gómez
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Art should be done within a community. Gone are the days of creating in isolation. Meeting new people, receiving feedback, and hearing different stories are what help us grow as artists and individuals.
✔️ Excavate, don’t wrestle. The narrative calls for a more balanced view of gender roles. Be a good example to others so that younger generations can follow.
✔️ Master the dance of knowing each others’ strengths. Your partner could have skills that are out of traditional gender norms or some that they just don’t have the bandwidth to do. Work together to maintain balance.
✔️ Share your story. Speak your truth through your art. Allow your audience to empathize with you. Poetry and other forms of art are an investigation, not a fixed answer to the issues we face today.
✔️ Accept the glimmer of nonconformity. Be open to more nuanced discussions on gender roles and how it affects our authentic expression. Give yourself permission to go against the grain.
Carlos Andrés Gómez is a Colombian American poet, speaker, actor, and equity and inclusion strategist from New York City. He is the author of Fractures, winner of the Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry, Hijito, winner of the Broken River Prize and a #1 SPD bestseller, and the memoir Man Up: Reimagining Modern Manhood, released by Penguin Random House.
A star of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, TV One’s Verses and Flow, and Spike Lee’s #1 box office movie Inside Man with Denzel Washington, Carlos’ honors include the Sandy Crimmins National Prize for Poetry, Atlanta Review International Poetry Prize, Foreword INDIES Gold Medal, and the International Book Award.
A genre-transcending multi-hyphenate, he partnered with John Legend on Senior Orientation, a program to counteract bullying and champion inclusive masculinity among high school students. Carlos is a proud father of two.

There’s so much romantic talk around soul mates.
Most of us think that a soul mate is our perfect fit and that a life with them would be so easy and smooth. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
I want to clear up the fairy-tale-like ideas we have about soul mates and what I believe a true soul mate really is.
Tune in to this episode: Your Soul Mate.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ A true soul mate is a mirror. Elizabeth Gilbert said it best. They show you what’s holding you back and bring them to your own attention so you can change your life.
✔️ Get clear on what you’re here to do. Our soul is much more interested in what brings us to our true selves. You need to have intimacy with yourself before you can recognize your soul mate.
✔️ Soul mates are not forever. We can have more than one soul mate in this lifetime. They can also leave when their purpose has ended. It doesn’t mean the relationship was a failure.

The term “abundance” gets thrown around a lot but not everybody who uses the term actually embodies it in a grounded way.
Success Mentor Rebecca Whitman breaks down seven major aspects to focus on to live a truly abundant life. Each aspect is interconnected and worth prioritizing to create a well-rounded and abundant life.
Tune in to this episode: 7 Pillars for an Abundant Life with Rebecca Whitman
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Spirituality makes everything else work better. Having faith in something greater than ourselves gives us a chance to remember that everything works out in the end.
✔️ Prioritizing fitness helps everything else. When we feel better physically, we’re more efficient, resourceful, and confident in our skin.
✔️ Prioritize noticing what you can be grateful for. Let go of fear-based thoughts by practicing gratitude every day.
✔️ Romance is everywhere if you’re open to it. It’s not always about relationships but rather about romancing life itself. There’s beauty in every moment – whether you’re single, dating, or married.
✔️ Growth means continuing to work on yourself. Fill your downtime with audiobooks and podcasts. The real work of growth also starts when you choose to be in a relationship.
✔️ Maintain your social circle, even when you’re in a relationship. Find people who have what you want. If you do what they do, you can succeed too. Choose friends who want to grow with you, instead of focusing only on your relationship.
✔️ Finances follow when you’re holistically aligned. Don’t chase money to accumulate it, but to circulate it. Money affords you freedom to design the life you want and lift others up, too.
Rebecca Whitman is a Success Mentor, graduate with honors from Princeton University, and author of internationally bestselling books, “Phenomenal Feminine Entrepreneurs,” “Business, Life, Universe” and “How to Make a Six Figure Income Working Part Time.” She was selected as Life Coach of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals. She hosts the top 5% globally ranked “Balanced, Beautiful, Abundant” podcast. Her philosophy divides life into 7 Pillars of Abundance which include: spiritual, physical, emotional, romantic, mental, social, and financial.
She helps people achieve balance within these seven areas so they can experience more fun and freedom in life! In addition to her appearances as an expert on ABC and CBS, she has spoken on multiple podcasts and has shared virtual stages with great thought leaders like Grant Cardone, Jack Canfield, and Les Brown.

There are some days when we’re just irritated, right?
These are times when everything feels and sounds wrong and rubs you wrong the way, as if you’re being stuffed in a really tight casing.
Most likely, this means you have excess energy in you that needs to be discharged. And today, I’ll be showing you different ways how to properly deal with and soothe yourself in times like this.
Tune in to this episode: What To Do When You're Irritated
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Get clear on who and what you’re irritated about. Often it’s never their fault. Identify what’s causing you to respond this way.
✔️ Request for your desires. Your irritation could be triggered by a specific event where your needs were not met. Have the courage to verbalize it and see if things start to shift your way.
✔️ Expel that excess energy in fun ways! Pump iron. Throw weights on a padded floor. Scream into a pillow. Dance to an upbeat song. Go running. Masturbate. Have sex. Do anything that allows you to let that energy out!
✔️ Irritability isn’t a character flaw. It’s just a bodily cue that you need to do something about. You have the power to be aware of how you’re feeling and steering it into the right direction.

There’s so much pressure surrounding Valentine’s Day.
This pressure to be romantic evokes negative emotions in others who are just not in the mood to feel the love in the air.
However, you can transform this day into an opportunity to deepen your relationship with yourself and with others.
Tune in to this episode: Valentine's Day Tips That Don't Suck
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Watch what’s coming up. How do you feel about this holiday? Be with it for a bit. Play some music that aligns with the emotions you feel. And truly feel them. Let them move through you.
✔️ Reach out. Is there anyone you really want to connect with? Send a Valentine’s Day text. Call that person.
✔️ React upon your desires. Allow yourself from a loving place to choose an action that goes with what you feel. Practice moving in the direction of what you want. You have the power to decide how you respond to it.
✔️ Give yourself permission to be where you are. This is an external expression of self-love. And it doesn’t always look like bubble baths and wine. It’s taking action that actually backs yourself.

They’re not wedding planners, they’re wedding shamans.
Rich and Shelby Satnam are on a mission to break traditional wedding beliefs and practices and provide an unforgettable transitional experience for their clients — all while creating a deep, authentic expression of their love.
You don’t have to give in to societal norms. You get to decide what YOUR marriage looks like!
Tune in to this episode: Making Marriage Yours with Rich and Shelby Satnam
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Invite people out of joy. Good job on having the courage to make this difficult decision. Imagine: Who’s there? What are you feeling at that moment?
✔️ Advocate for your needs. Set boundaries for rest. Don’t allow resentment to fester. Discuss important things in a pleasing location that you both like. Be willing to show up to figure things out.
✔️ A wedding doesn’t have to be stressful. It can be a nourishing transition. Every couple has their own version of what their ideal wedding should be. Allow space for genuine expression.
✔️ Writing vows isn’t just for people who are getting married. Doing this for yourself is a commitment to self-love. Relationships, marriage, and love can be re-known in an uplifting way.
———————————————
Opposites attract. And they make magic. We are a creative force that uses joy, inspiration, and authenticity to curate an unforgettable wedding experience. We believe in being connected to each couple we choose to work with so that we can integrate your vision and personality in unique ways.
You are exactly where you need to be.
Not only have they done the damn thing and eloped in the mountains, but Shelby and Rich have created over 200 wedding experiences (each with their own personal touch) in 7 states and counting. Their goal is to draw upon each couple’s authentic expression to curate a magical experience just for them.
Rich and Shelby both bring a unique set of skills and past experiences to their passion for authentic weddings. Rich has this incredible ability to build connections through his previous work as a Chaplain and Relationship Coach. Shelby has been a yoga instructor for several years and is able to intuitively bring a joyful and grounding presence to those around her. Together, they are also Somatic Release Breathwork Facilitators and Sound Healing Practitioners who seek to remind people of the transformational power of their own breath.

During sessions, I usually use a metaphor to talk about relationships in a larger way to help them see what’s happening.
Some relationships are like wilted plants. The leaves have dried up, but there’s still hope of renourishing.
What happens in long-term relationships is that the busyness of life gets in the way of us regularly watering it to keep it alive. And there are some ways to do it.
Tune in to this episode: Your Relationship as a Plant
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Some relationships need repotting. It may need a larger community around it. Whether it’s polyamory or spending more time with friends and family, the relationship may thrive when there are more people around them.
✔️ Appreciation is the most nutritive water for dry soil. Acknowledge the good thing you and your partner have done. This can help you escape from a pattern of criticism.
✔️ Journal what your relationship looks like. Imagine it as a plant and ask yourself:
- Are the leaves wilted?
- Are there habits that need to be pruned?
- Is the pot too small for you and your partner?
✔️ Don’t leave without trying. Give watering a try. You might end up with an even more loving and close relationship than what you had before.

The foundation of effective communication is self-love.
Let Laurie-Ann Murabito, former shy-gal-turned-speaking-coach, walk you through her methods on how she overcame the shame in giving the first word, and who now exudes confidence in speaking, both to her partner and to an audience.
Tune in to this episode: Communicating with Confidence in Business and Marriage with Laurie-Ann Murabito.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Make in-person events count. Make small talk to each attendee that comes in at the door. Cite them in your speech. Memorize the start and the end of your presentation to shake off jitters and avoid rushing. Be selective of the feedback you get.
✔️ The more you ask, the easier it gets. Practice requesting your partner for more time or attention. Ask the hard questions. It gets trickier the more you delay it.
✔️ Your home life impacts your work life. And not vice versa. Spending a short moment to connect can fuel you to be at your best career-wise. Work together to make the dance as smooth as possible.
✔️ The relationship is a choice. It’s not a piece of paper or a ring. As you take responsibility for your own emotions, you actively decide daily that you want to be with this person.
✔️ Confidence comes in many shapes and sizes. You don’t have to copy how others do it. Find your own energy.

Are you looking to create a new year to-do list that you’ll actually accomplish?
Here’s an easy goal-setting method I learned from my life coach. I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and I recommend you do it too!
You can also do it with your partner if you want to take your relationship to the next level.
Tune in to this episode: Yearly Goal Setting That Works.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Write down all your desires. Be it money, travels, things for your home, or better health – don’t hold back! Make that list as long as you can.
✔️ Sort your list into three categories.
- A priorities – Things that you’ll put your attention on first
- B priorities – Things you’ll act on but not as important as A
- C priorities – “Nice-to-have” dreams that you’ll someday do
✔️ Liberate yourself from the pressure. This is what the C category is for. Allow yourself to express your desires, even if they may not happen.
✔️ Work on one priority from the A-list. Slowly get through it. Be sure to review your list quarterly so you can see your progress. Because your goals are broken down into small chunks, you’re more likely to hit them.

Making a difference in the world starts within ourselves.
Musician and writer Andre Henry talks about addressing our own pain and trauma to cultivate better relationships, challenging masculine and feminine norms, and creating more space for emotional and heartfelt conversation.
Tune in to this episode: Staying Soft in a Hard World with Marie-Elizabeth Mali & Andre Henry.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ The lack of space to address trauma destroys relationships. Social justice should be about working on healthy connections – be it with others or with ourselves. Andre wants to tell his story to uncover the facade of perfection.
✔️ Be more intentional about your femininity or masculinity. It isn’t being a good or bad person. It’s being aware of your ability to express your emotions and hone your emotional intelligence.
✔️ Never invalidate your partner’s feelings. As both of you openly share your emotions, approach it with an open mind. Be careful of the words you choose. Intention doesn’t instantly reflect on impact.
✔️ A shift has to happen. Men must learn to feel deeply and verbalize how they feel. Women have to de-armor after years of putting up walls against the patriarchy.
✔️ Re-do moments where you contradict yourself. Try your best to explain your intent clearly and empathize with the person you have upset.
Andre Henry is a musician and writer using his creativity to build a movement for racial healing and social progress. He has spent years searching for answers about how ordinary people can change the world through collective action and is working hard to spread to mainstream audiences what he’s learned on this journey.

Welcome to the New Year!
Sometimes, we tend to create so much pressure to turn the new year into the most magnificent one ever. With many goals and many methods, it can get overwhelming.
So here’s a simple, three-step process to improve one of the most important facets of our lives – relationships. Be it romantic, familial, or platonic, this will help.
Tune in to this episode: Better Relationships.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Take stock of relationships as they are now. See where you’re at from a non-judgmental lens. Awareness is the first step to change.
✔️ Pick one thing that you could improve. It can be communicating your emotions clearer or being connected to your body. Focus on making it better by brainstorming ways on how you can achieve it. Then, get into action.
✔️ Celebrate every improvement. It may feel cheesy at first, but trust me. Strengthening this muscle allows you to stick with the desired habit for the long term. The smallest practices can create the biggest changes.

Creating a healthy relationship requires intention. And the littlest things that you can do every day make the biggest difference.
Clinical and life coach Mollie Birney shares the habits of healthy couples that you, too, can apply to strengthen your relationships.
Tune in to this episode: Habits of Healthy Couples with Mollie Birney.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Words are powerful. Give casual compliments. Acknowledge your partner’s help and every instance they do something right.
✔️ Requests and responses matter. Make requests of each other. Respond to them from a place of service, not of sacrifice. If it’s not a clear yes, then it’s a no.
✔️ Healthy couples have difficult conversations. They share hard truths and lead these talks with concern. Establish trust to avoid leaving dark and untouched topics. Be more curious about the root of issues than the symptom.
✔️ Give each other feedback. Affirm your partner when they respect your boundaries and make an effort to improve.
✔️ Start from awareness. If you make a mistake, don’t beat yourself up for it. Notice it without judgment. Be curious as to why you keep repeating these bad habits.
————————————————————————————————

Today’s topic is quick yet juicy.
What are some ways to spice things up in the bedroom? I’ll be sharing my easy and doable pieces of advice so you can make every sex session fun and memorable for both you and your partner.
Tune in to this episode: Tips for Better Sex.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Get to know your own body. We have other erogenous zones beyond our genitals. Stroke and touch yourself to feel good in your own skin. A good reference is Emily Nagoski’s book, Come As You Are.
✔️ Ask for what you want in bed more directly. Well-meaning partners are NOT mind-readers! Say what feels good before things get worse. Nothing kills desire more than feeling wrong.
✔️ Practice touching your partner. Spend 10-15 minutes pleasuring yourself or your partner in different ways, and see how you or they respond. It doesn’t have to end with intercourse every time – zero pressure!
✔️ Ask for stimulating foreplay. Most women don’t climax from penetrative sex. Request your partner to prepare you for what’s to come. Experiment with toys. Be compassionate and educate each other along the way.

For the longest time, our upbringing and society have taught us gender-based expectations. Even with the tides changing, some habits are still ingrained in us.
When you feel frustrated as to why your partner doesn’t see the need to do the dishes or take out the trash, it’s important to understand the factors and know what you and your partner can do about it to avoid the stress.
Tim Wade discusses these deep-rooted reasons and different ways to solve these issues.
Tune in to this episode: Why Does He Do That? A Peek Into the "Mysterious" Masculine Mind with Tim Wade.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Have more compassion and empathy. While some men still believe there are men-centered tasks, others just don’t know how to do more feminine roles like changing diapers. They also have a more focused awareness — not noticing the stack of dishes in the sink because they’re thinking about the problem at work.
✔️ Sit down and talk. Share each others’ ideas of division of labor, and try to reach an agreement that is fair for both sides. Drop the ledger, and stop keeping score!
✔️ Your partner is not a mind-reader. If you don’t feel heard, talk about your concern. Let go of agenda and judgment. Listen and validate the other for understanding and empathy. Sometimes, they’re not hurting you on purpose. They just don’t know any better.
✔️ Be more direct. Men are usually listening for direction and instruction. Instead of being passive-aggressive, clearly say what you need. You can also help them preemptively condition their listening for them to understand what you’re trying to say.
✔️ Do a do-over. This is a great exercise in self-awareness and humility. When you show up in a way that is not your best, you can always re-do it.

After being blindsided by an unexpected mid-life divorce, Tim Wade turned his deepest wound into a powerful message of transformation that he has shared with thousands of men worldwide.
Tim created LionHearted Men Coaching to help men thrive in their relationships by teaching them the counter-intuitive secrets that allowed him to become a strong, confident, and compassionate father, partner, and lover.
Although his main focus has been supporting men to become the best version of themselves, his ideas about how to have an amazing relationship and a life worth living resonates with women as well.

Holidays can often be a time of stress, especially if your relationships aren’t how you want them to be. There’s so much pressure put on our connections with our partners, friends, and family.
This is why I wanted to give you the tools not only to survive, but to actually thrive through the holidays and set yourself up for a great upcoming year.
Tune in to this episode: Thriving Through the Holidays.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Decide in advance how you want to feel. Check in and make that choice. Do you want to be loved? In solitude? Supported? This helps you keep track and know what you need to change.
✔️ Set boundaries. What do they look like? Be it touching at a party or an extra drink — you can say no. You can focus on drawing them so you can take care of yourself.
✔️ Take care of your body. You can still enjoy yourself during the holidays without sabotaging your physical health. Choose one healthy thing you would pay attention to —like better sleep, exercise, or meditation.
✔️ Give yourself permission to feel. If you find yourself feeling down while others are partying, you don’t have to force yourself to conform. Exit that situation. Treat yourself more lovingly without having to bring others down.

Don’t be nice. Be kind! This is the core tenet of ruthless compassion.
Ruthless compassion is achieving a balance of being honest and clear with strong boundaries while practicing kindness and acceptance.
But a lot of times in relationships, we tend to go either on one side or the other.
Dr. Marcia Sirota joins us to give her insights and advice on why we should be taking responsibility for our own self-care, how to develop boundaries and tolerance, why we shouldn’t turn to romcoms for answers, and why adult relationships should be conditional.
Tune in to this episode: Ruthless Compassion with Dr. Marcia Sirota.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ The condition for love is respect and kindness. Your partner should allow you to be your authentic self. You don’t have to change your quirks and interests (unless they are causing hurt). If you find yourself working too hard, it’s not worth keeping.
✔️ Learning ruthless compassion is a process. Whether it’s alone or with a partner, you progress, make mistakes, and get back up again. Build that attitude of curiosity, self-compassion, and desire to know the truth of your patterns.
✔️ Get a trusted guide. This can be anyone who can help you see the reality of your experiences. Choose someone who lives a fulfilling and respectable life.
✔️ With courtesy and boundaries, you don’t need rules. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all for relationships as each is unique. See what makes you feel most comfortable and speak up if you experience a violation of your values.
✔️ Practice healthy confrontation. Follow these steps:
- Take a breath. Don’t attack.
- Say, “When you did/said [the action or words], I felt [happy/sad/confused].

If you really want something, you’re willing to work for it.
The relationship and life that you truly desire won’t come if you just sit back and wait for it.
It’s about knowing the key elements to achieve it, taking actionable steps, and collaborating with the universe through trust and faith.
Tune in to this episode: Creating the Relationships and Life You Want
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Consider the ten elements to creating the life you want. I’ll be going through them one by one, what each entails, and what you need to do about each. A clear vision, desire, and belief are the top three.
✔️ Be attentive of lag time. It’s the period you decide you want a thing and when you get it. It looks like a delay, but you can create your own meaning for it. Will you beat yourself up for taking too long, or will you see it as a time to nurture your growth? Change sticks when you can imagine yourself winning.
✔️ Combine inner work with outer actions. We can create ease, but that doesn’t mean everything we do is easy. Allow your life to unfold in its own timeline, and surrender your efforts to the universe.

There’s so much judgment and shame instilled in being a highly-sensitive person.
What most people don’t realize is that this is a superpower.
Therapeutic business coach, Heather Dempsey, breaks down what it means to be a highly-sensitive person (HSP), how to optimize this ability in your career and business, effective communication with non-sensitive people, and ways to self-regulate.
Tune in to this episode: Emotional Health with Heather Dempsey
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ You’re an HSP if you do this. Do noises outside seem more disruptive? Do you freak out over little things when others don’t? Do certain things feel like they’re magnified at a ten?
✔️ HSPs must navigate relationships differently. Figure out your tipping points, and form boundaries around them. Avoid triggering situations. Let go of the idea that you’re the “awkward one”.
✔️ HSPs can avoid projection. Identify the beliefs you’ve created. Filter which ones are true and false. Rebuild your resource of truth. Accept that some beliefs could be real, but challenge them how some might not be.
✔️ Talk to non-sensitives with empathy. They don’t sense the same things as you do. You may also react in ways that are uncomfortable for them, and that’s okay.
✔️ Self-regulation helps. Find activities that are self-nurturing. Practice patience in this fast-paced world.
————————————————————————————————
Heather Dempsey is a therapeutic business coach specializing in emotional health, mindset, and the psychology of business. She helps introverts, empaths, HSP, or those who struggle with anxiety show up powerfully and comfortably in their business by creating radical emotional and mindset transformations so they can thrive in business, life, and beyond. She’s also a foodie, cat-lover, personal development, and self-care enthusiast.

There are many different ways we self-sabotage when it comes to love. And most of them are quite subtle that we don’t realize add up over time.
Today, we’ll be talking about these unexpected ways, what you can do about it, and a free resource for you to go deeper into your self-learning.
Tune in to this episode: Unexpected Ways You May Be Blocking Love.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Deflecting compliments. People send love your way through positive words about your outfit or how you look. Instead of saying, “This dress is on sale,” or rejecting it, accept it with open arms.
✔️ Refusing help. Service is love. Saying no to it because of your over-self-reliance tells the universe that you don’t need anything or anyone. What you give out tends to come back.
✔️ Picking apart mistakes. Shift this into appreciating what your partner does right. Don’t fixate on the tiny things that went wrong so you can assimilate the love that already exists.
✔️ Become a gracious receiver. Watch how more comes to you when you’re aware of how you block love and work on opening yourself to what is given to you.
Grab my cheat sheet below so you can experience the abundance of love that’s available to you!

Returning to the dating scene middle-aged and post-divorce can be terrifying for most. But Paul Aaron Travis has been on over 100 dates and counting – the experience proving to be fruitful and life-changing.
He shares with us his advice for individuals like him about letting go of expectations, authenticity vs intimacy, tracking your dates and potential partners, and finding your partner through effective questioning.
Tune in to this episode: Dating After 40 with Paul Aaron Travis.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Utilize helpful tools. Paul recommends attending gatherings such as his Singles Salon, follow a blueprint like his 40-Plus Dating Reset, and use a dating log to list key details of your dates, such as:
- Last time they contacted you
- How long you’ve been dating
- Any red or green flags
✔️ Authenticity vs. Intimacy. Although interconnected, they are different.
Authenticity is presenting who you really are to the world and how you live. Intimacy is being genuine within to allow others to enter your world.
✔️ Do a vibration check. Consider why you’re dating in the first place. Then, don’t rush the process of meeting new people. As we are experiencing collective anxiety about the future, it’s important to choose someone who strikes the right chords.
✔️ There is power in questions. People who’ve had bad breakups and bad dates may feel cynical. But engaging in deep conversations with your dates can help change your mind. Listen to their dreams, dealbreakers, what turns them on, and what doesn’t. Don’t let your fear win over meeting your potential partner.
✔️ Practice detachment. Letting go of expectations can help you be more vulnerable and cushion the pain during rejections. Be open to whatever can happen. You may meet a new best friend or someone that can benefit from your knowledge or support.
————————————————————————————————
Paul Aaron Travis’s commitment to making dating joyful, respectful, expansive, and consensual comes from extensive training in interpersonal relations - from Nonviolent Communication to the Wheel of Consent, from Landmark Education to Human Awareness International, from Body Electric to ISTA/Tantra.
For years, Paul co-facilitated the Seattle Men’s Wisdom Council, working with hundreds of men every month. In the years since his divorce, he has dated 100 women – mostly first dates which didn’t yield sufficient chemistry to continue yet helped him create the technique he now teaches that manifested three wonderful, multi-year relationships.

Most couples get stuck in a comfortable routine and eventually stop growing together.
If you’re not growing together, you’re going to be growing apart. And that’s not great for your relationship.
Today, I’ll be talking about how growth can help your relationship flourish and how to weave growth more effectively into the fabric of your partnership.
Tune in to this episode: Ending Relationship Boredom.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Pursue self-growth. Examine how you’re growing individually. Then, discuss how you can support each other in your growth.
✔️ Grow together as a couple. Find something new that you enjoy doing together and incorporate it into your relationship. This could be trying new things, such as a dance class or going on a vacation to a new location.
✔️ Have an honest conversation. What aspects of your relationship feel flat? Be self-responsible about it. Brainstorm ways to change it. Create an accountability structure and give yourselves time to shift the dynamic.
✔️ Free up some bandwidth. Life can get stressful. Hand off tasks that you can delegate. Spare some time to reconnect, even if it’s just an hour a week. Your relationship needs time and attention. A small tweak can have a huge impact.

Emily Williams, success coach and I Heart My Life CEO, started out with zero business experience and a fear of discussing money.
Working with a business coach helped her pick up strategies and mindset pieces to finally open herself up to financial abundance.
“It’s never about the money but the work it takes to get there,” she says.
She shares her advice and expertise in letting go of our “money blocks” and how our attitude towards money can also affect our relationships.
Tune in to this episode: Money Mindset and a Thriving Marriage with Emily Williams.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Achieve abundance in all areas. If you’re feeling lack in one area, most likely, you have lack in other areas. Guess what, you CAN have it all. You just have to be willing to go through the learning process. Make sure to examine your whole life because your money mindset can also seep into your relationships.
✔️ Practice exquisite honesty. Be unapologetic about what you want and need with your partner. Sometimes, you have to choose yourself first to fill your cup and be a better participant in the relationship. Recognize and honor each other's differences.
✔️ Be an observer of your own mind. Release your ego and deliberately look into your own desires. What fears come up that are blocking you from getting what you want? Take your limiting beliefs and flip them into something positive.
✔️ Use comparison for good. Instead of feeling jealous of others who have what you want, use them as inspiration. If it’s possible for them, you can do it too. Take clues from what they did so you can create the same results.
Emily Williams is a money mindset expert, success coach, author, speaker, and CEO of both her lifestyle and media company, I Heart My Life, and her personal brand, where she helps executives and entrepreneurs break through their limiting beliefs and rewrite their money stories so that they can increase both their income and their impact, and feel more fulfilled and satisfied than they ever have before.

Recently, I wrote a manifesto with the prompt, “I believe…”
I got to the essence of what I do and why accessing the potential of our relationships is so crucial.
I’m sharing what I wrote so you can get to know me and what I’m about, AND to inspire you to write your own!
Tune in to this episode: What Relationship Alchemy is Really About.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Write an “I believe” manifesto. Connect with yourself and write down your beliefs. Identify which are really yours and which ones you picked up from society and your environment. Having orienting principles gives you clarity and direction.
✔️ Love is at the core of the universe. Love isn’t only meant to be given to others but also to ourselves in the form of awareness, boundaries, and knowing our own values.
✔️ Shame is a growth killer. Joy and fulfillment don’t come from building a more functional personality. They come from knowing your deep spiritual nature. Would you rather be comfortable or free?
✔️ The most important commitment in a relationship is supporting each other’s growth. Transformation comes when you and your partner dedicate yourselves to your individual growth and supporting one another in that.
✔️ Love can be scary. But it’s something that we truly want. If you’re someone who deeply desires love and freedom, I’m here to serve you.

Spending “me time” is key in nourishing your connections – be it with your partner, family members, or even friends.
If you don’t take time for yourself, you’re going to be bringing your raggedest self into your relationships. And we don’t want to be projecting our frustrations on others, right?
Taking time to recharge isn’t selfish. It’s a gracious act of filling yourself first so that you have enough to share.
Tune in to this episode: Why "Me Time" Matters in Relationships.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ “Me time” teaches us and others how to love. Doing activities you enjoy tells you that your well-being deserves to be prioritized. It also shows others how you want to be loved. It’s a form of boundary setting.
✔️ You have control over how much you give and when to replenish. You bring more energy when your cup is full. It’s not their fault you feel exhausted. Resource yourself first then love from your saucer, the overflow from your cup.
✔️ Look for leaks and plug them. What activities drain you? See if you can hand them off. If not, reframe your mindset. Take a break and go back to it when you are more rested.
✔️ Rejuvenate. Three minutes a day of a grounding activity is enough. Fill yourself up before crossing off your to-do list. It’s going to feel much better at the end of the day.

What is the pleasure gap?
It’s the difference in the number of orgasms men and women have during intercourse – 96% for men and only 4% for heterosexual women.
Society has discouraged women to explore themselves sexually, coupled with impossible body standards that have significantly affected body image and esteem.
Entice Me Soirees Founder Tiffany Yelverton is here to help women reclaim their sexual power and take the shame out of self-pleasure.
Tune in to this episode: Closing the Pleasure Gap with Tiffany Yelverton.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Self-pleasure is connected to self-love. “A touch stimulates oxytocin production, which is the culmination of an orgasm,” Tiffany Yelverton says. Touching oneself - sexually and non-sexually - can help women bring back their connection to their body.
✔️ Work together with your partner. So how do you start?
- Keep the lights on.
- Go for non-verbal communication.
- Talk about what turns you on.
- Do it on yourself.
- Try it on your partner.
✔️ Mind foreplay is key. Women need at least 24 minutes of foreplay to get aroused enough to get to orgasm. But they often only get 2-3 minutes of it — which is how long it takes men to get aroused. Blood flow to the genitals is arousal for men, while it starts in the brain for women.
✔️ Learning about pleasure is important. Going on an exploration of her body and discovering her first orgasm turned Tiffany Yelverton into the expert that she is today. “This is what we need to know because it affects relationships so much,” she says.
✔️ Pleasure opens your life to abundance. It’s actually beneficial – for your career, confidence, and mental health. Some of Tiffany Yelverton’s clients have had newfound assertiveness in asking for raises. Body dysmorphia lessens as you experience more orgasms. Getting into the habit of self-pleasure also decreases the risk of heart disease by 50%, helps fight depression, and stimulates collagen production.
✔️ Own your sexual power. Men masturbate 37% more than women due to the shame women carry about self-pleasure. Break the stigma, glow brighter, and reclaim your sexuality!

Are you ready to transform your relationships and have the intimate love you desire?
Listen in as my fiancé Patrick and I introduce the Relationship Breakthrough Intensive (RBI) – a deep dive into cracking the truth of recurring patterns that are blocking you from having more connected and thriving relationships and teaching you the right actions to help you change them.
Tune in to this episode: Catalyze More Love In Your Life.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ How RBI works. In a two-hour call, we will get to the root of your recurring patterns, and create your Have the Relationship You Want Action Plan to shift them. There will be check-ins in between and a follow-up call to touch base two weeks later as you implement your plan. I want you to let go of shame around seeing your patterns and issues so you can take action.
✔️ How to maximize your RBI. We customize the intensive according to your needs. Before starting, identify the primary issue that you want me to help you resolve. You have the choice to sign up for one more session, a series of sessions, or attend a retreat with others who are on the same journey.
✔️ Benefits and transformations. A client of mine had huge success with her RBI. She used to have issues and would get triggered when communicating with a certain family member. We navigated to the root of the pattern and found ways to shift, and she is now able to have connected and productive conversations with this loved one and others.

It’s normal for us to get so lost in the constant hustle and grind of daily life that we forget to take care of ourselves.
When our bodies are at a sub-optimal state, it seeps into every aspect of our lives.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Change Guide for Growth Claire Jones is here to share with us the seven areas that we should focus on to be productive and effective in any task we take.
Spoiler alert: It’s all in our brains!
Tune in to this episode: Seven Areas of Your Life to Prioritize for Optimal Performance with Claire Jones.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Connecting time is for our brain’s need for social connection. It can’t differentiate a broken heart from a broken leg. If you catch yourself doom-scrolling on social media, take a break. Call up a friend and meet! Your body will thank you for it.
✔️ Playtime releases happy hormones. It gives us a chance to experiment in non-threatening scenarios. Doodling and coloring can help us hone that imaginative and creative muscle and improve different skill sets.
✔️ Downtime brings innovation. Daydreaming allows us to tap into different areas of our brains simultaneously, causing new connections to form – extra helpful when we’re dealing with complex problems. That’s why all your best ideas are born in the shower.
✔️ Focus time leads to a flow state. This is where challenge and competence meet. Your brain thrives when you’re completely engrossed in a single task. No more multi-tasking!
✔️ Time-in is meditation. This is when you use non-judgmental self-observation to achieve self-regulation. You can make better decisions because you’ve formed a solid foundation of awareness.
✔️ Physical time primes your brain for more learning. Incorporate any type of exercise within your week to achieve a clearer mind so you can seamlessly go through all your activities for the day.

My fiancé Patrick and I recently took a couple of weeks off to travel, enjoy one another, and see family and friends in different places.
This experience reminded me about how important it is to take time and reenergize your connection with your partner, or loved ones in general, and to step out of the automation of day-to-day life.
Today, I’ll share with you my tips on how to go about a Relationship Reboot of your own!
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Be mindful yet spontaneous. Know how much rest you need. Go to that show you saw a flyer about. Eat at that restaurant that a friend recommended. Discover and enjoy things that light up your world.
✔️ Don’t be a vacation martyr. Pay attention to how much rest and activity you and the other person like. Speak up about what you want to do at that moment. You can still have fun together while doing things on your own.
✔️ For a staycation, have a deliberate closing and reopening of your regular life. Signal your system that you’re stepping out of your normal flow of life and into that special space. It can look like lighting a candle or shutting down your computer.
✔️ Create lists in advance. It can be a list of restaurants you’ve been meaning to try or something I call “a pleasure menu.” Preparation can be so freeing. Make informed decisions that spark joy, and don’t default to what’s quick or easy because it’s likely not what you really want.
✔️ Ultimately, a Relationship Reboot is nourishment. Allow yourself to drop in and keep in touch with a deeper octave of yourself. Remember what you loved about your loved ones before you became cogs in the wheel of life.

What is conscious love?
For relationship coach Angela N. Holton, it’s an inward journey of finding purpose and fulfillment and healing our core wounds to avoid projection on our partners.
It all starts with looking at what hasn’t worked in our past relationships and learning how to be more responsible to our loved ones.
Tune in to this episode: Conscious Love and Dating with Angela N. Holton.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Don’t blame dating apps. Show up with integrity. No more ghosting. More accountability. No more rude comments on people’s appearance. More authenticity. More accountability.
✔️ Rejection is experience. It’s nothing personal and is a way to get you one step closer to your person. Just lick your wounds, move on, and when the right one comes, they’ll surely not pass you by.
✔️ Turn your suffering into art. Write in your journal. Do standup comedy. Sing songs. Pain and grief are energies – the more they get locked up, they build up and will explode in the ugliest ways. Let it go!
✔️ Become the mirror reflection of what you want. We all think about our ideal partners. So why not think about what they are looking for and embody it?
✔️ Find fulfillment in other aspects of your life. Dating isn’t the end-all-be-all in life. Have you considered working out your career, hobbies, and connections with family and friends?
✔️ Dating and relationships are a journey within yourself. A whole heart isn’t devoid of pain. It has integrated all its past mistakes and hurtful memories into its cracks and has learned to push aside its triggers and wounds.

When was the last time you had a fight with your partner? Was it a HUGE one where there's shouting and saying things you didn't mean? Or was it the usual squabble over a small thing that got you both nitpicky?
Couples who want to maintain a healthy and long relationship need reminding that each individual has very different styles of responding to stress. Experimenting with your partner will greatly benefit how you work and live together.
Tune in to this new episode: Relationships as Research with Marie-Elizabeth Mali and Patrick Price
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ In our lives, we learn about relationships through our parents, friends, and the stories we see on TV or social media. We think we ought to know how to do a relationship, but no one ever makes the perfect one without learning and experimenting first.
✔️ Notice the other person's stress style if they haven't caught it yet, and offer support instead of judgment. Here's one big discovery my fiancé and I noticed and learned through our #RelationshipResearch: a particular thing happens when we both reach nerve-racking and trying days in our relationship.
When I go under stress, I start to move quicker and become more critical. I get nitpicky. When he gets stressed, he starts slowing down or just stops. As you can imagine, these two very different kinds of responses prime us to explode into a big fight.
✔️ When we understand each of our stress styles, we can nip unnecessary clashes in the bud, notice patterns if they haven't caught it yet, and offer support instead of judgment. This simple discovery can save many relationships from failing.
✔️ When we find love, we can't help but conjure dreamy imaginings of how our partner should be. We tend to return to the measure we've set of that ideal lover instead of wholly accepting that person right here.
✔️ The biggest thing in a relationship is the willingness to try new things. Many couples forget that:
- a) They should work as a TEAM.
- b) Yet, they are still DIFFERENT people.
Actively experimenting on the relationship allows partners to collaborate. They can learn how to do better and learn to adjust, understanding each of their weaknesses and relying on their strengths.
✔️ Become partners in research and love. Have you pondered on approaching your romantic relationship as research? It will benefit you and your partner more than you'll ever know. Setting research containers within the relationship fosters curiosity and keeps you on the growing edge of what's happening between you.
✔️ Be intentional in helping each other grow and gain more skill in an area of both your lives where the default is to avoid, push back or to reject yourself or the other person.

In relationships, compromise involves holding back your thoughts and desires to make your partner comfortable.
But if you want it to go from “good” to “great,” you have to talk about everything – even the difficult parts – and you do it in a way to make it easier for your partner to hear it.
The Intimacy Doctor Alexandra Stockwell wants you to experience adventure and a whole new level of depth in your relationships as she shares her tips for creating uncompromising intimacy.
Tune in to this episode: Uncompromising Intimacy with Dr. Alexandra Stockwell.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Let go of perfectionism. You don’t need to amputate parts of yourself. You don’t have to keep the peace by being silent.
✔️ Ask open-ended questions. What we believe to be true might not be what it seems – especially when you hear what your partner has to say. The answer may sting at first, but this level of transparency is what deepens the connection in your relationship.
✔️ Know when you’re self-silencing. This small change in awareness can be a stepping stone to more honest interactions that expand your confidence in asking questions.
✔️ Cultivate curiosity in your relationship. Uncompromising intimacy builds a fire and a passion to pay attention to each others’ ideas and feelings.
✔️ Every moment can either bring you closer or further apart. Cultivate passion and open-heartedness daily by openly communicating with your partner. Let everyday interactions feed into your sensual and erotic experiences.
✔️ Effective storytelling puts you in rooms you aren’t in yet. When people know what you do and what you’re all about, it comes naturally for them to recommend you to others.
Alexandra Stockwell, MD Known as “The Intimacy Doctor,” Dr. Alexandra is an Intimate Marriage Expert who specializes in coaching couples to build beautiful, long-lasting, passionate relationships. She is the bestselling author of “Uncompromising Intimacy” and host of The Intimate Marriage Podcast. For over 20 years she has shown men and women how to bring pleasure and purpose into all aspects of life-- from the daily grind of running a household to intimate communication and ecstatic experiences in the bedroom. A wife of 26 years and a mother of 4, Dr. Alexandra believes the key to passion, fulfillment, intimacy and success, isn’t compromise--it’s being unwilling to compromise. Because when both people feel free to be themselves, the relationship becomes juicy, nourishing, and deeply satisfying. Dr. Alexandra has been featured in the Huffington Post, Rolling Stone, USAToday, Cosmopolitan, Business Insider, thriveglobal, mindbodygreen, FOX NEWS NYC, and Disruptors Magazine recently named her one of “30 Inspiring Women to Watch in 2022.”

Have you ever realized that your relationship is actually like a car?
Maybe it's working well and just needs detailing...
Or it could need a little tune-up like the clutch is sticking...
Or does it need repair because something’s actually not working...
Or... MAYBE it's totally broken down and needs a tow to the shop?
How do you know?
Tune in to this episode: Relationship as a Vehicle — What Kind of Driver Are You?
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ The over-detailer. Just like how they keep their car super pristine, they constantly obsess over little things like their partner looking at them funny or their tone sounding different – looking for wrongs. Overidentifying with one’s image can lead to this nitpicky attitude.
✔️ The most balanced. They keep their car clean, do checkups but don’t fixate, and change the oil and tires, so nothing breaks. Regular maintenance helps relationships run better over time. This is the best stage for coaching.
✔️ The tune-up. This person waits until the warning lights come on before they take action. They wait for things to feel flat before they decide to reconnect or choose to address the issue.
✔️ The repair person. They wait for something to actually break before moving. Red flags may appear, but they let them go in the moment and react only when things turn serious. At this point, you’re in counseling.
✔️ The total breakdown. Completely ignoring all the signs causes the relationship to seize. They've missed the opportunities. It’s past the point of counseling and has evolved into mediation, splitting assets, and separating for good.

All relationships take work, whether in our professional or personal lives. For over two decades of research and experience, Dr. Kristen Donnelly shares that empathy is key to cultivating connection and understanding the relationships in our homes and workplaces.
For years, we’ve been trying to embrace diversity as a goal in our organizations, but we’re still far from achieving that goal. If we understand that there’s beauty and power in inclusivity, we’ll take the necessary and intentional steps to get to know each other as diverse humans trying to shape a better world.
Join me in this insightful episode: The Alchemy of Empathy with Dr. Kristen Donnelly
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ We've been sold the lie that "diversity" only means people coming from all colors and races. Donnelly teaches that embracing diversity in our workplaces and homes means accepting all facets of our humanity and understanding people beneath stereotypes.
✔️ Empathy in businesses. Research shows that the more diverse organizations are, the more financially successful, innovative, stable, and sustainable they become. But why aren't more companies successfully doing it? Donnelly shares that the answer is that many leaders have a hard time giving up power.
✔️ Empathy is the key to inclusivity, which is what we really want. Inclusivity is the term and idea that everybody gets to show up to any conversation, any relationship, any job on their emotional terms and they're never forced only to bring one perspective. They show up on their terms about who they are as a whole human. It will take hard work to get us there. But the first step is having the curiosity to ask questions, getting to know each other, and having the empathy to understand beneath the tolerant stereotypes.
✔️ Empathy in romantic relationships. The people we love most are often the ones to whom we extend the least amount of grace. So how do we apply empathy in our relationships? How do we cultivate more curiosity and spaciousness within our intimate relationships, which is where we tend to get the tightest?
✔️ When two persons come together, their Union creates a third body. This Union lives and breathes according to the love and attention that both people put into it. How do you take care of your Union?
✔️ Overcoming compassion fatigue. Donnelly reveals that the more you practice empathy, the more calming it becomes. Consistently choosing curiosity and understanding can decrease your anxiety. You’ll learn that you have no control over anything but yourself and are freed to focus on things you can do that can make a difference.
Kristen Donnelly (MSW, M.Div, PhD) is a four-time TEDx speaker, international empathy educator, and researcher with two decades of experience in helping people understand the beauty in difference, and the power of inclusivity. She is one of The Good Doctors of Abbey Research, COO of their parent company, and an unapologetic nerd for stories of change. Kristen lives outside of Philadelphia with her husband, where they are surrounded by piles of books and several video game consoles.

My partner Patrick and I were recently interviewed on a relationship podcast.
On the show, he highlights three questions that he asks himself whenever we get into conflict.
And I was so impressed with how he laid them out that I felt like it would be great to share them with you today – so you too can have better conflicts that bring you and your partner closer.
Tune in to this episode: A Quick Way To Navigate Conflict.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ The relationship is its own entity. The union between you and your partner is a separate being. It has its own existence calling for your attention and care.
✔️ Conflicts are caused by a suppressed issue. Conflicts aren’t ignited by what set off the fight. They’re usually started by something swept under the rug, piling up over time, erupting with the proper stimulus.
✔️ “What do I need?” Step away from the conflict for a moment. Settle yourself before addressing it. Get a bite to eat. Take a nap. Take a walk. Whatever it takes to resource yourself more fully. Then, you can return to the issue with a more open heart.
✔️ “What does the relationship need?” Pay attention to what it’s calling for. It may be your way, their way, or something completely different. Whatever it may be – it should be the way that benefits your connection.
✔️ “What does my partner need?” But don’t just carelessly throw the question. The tone matters most. Ask it from a place of curiosity, not condemnation.

Sixty-seven percent of information is retained when told through a story.
This is why expert sales consultant and advisor Stephen Steers wants you to share your true experiences to improve your relationships, career, and dating endeavors.
So how do you choose the best ones to tell? Should you be detailed or hold back some information? What are the pros and cons? Stephen Steers shares his advice to get you to where you want to be.
Tune in to this episode: How to Build Deep Relationships with Your Story with Stephen Steers.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Your story should help others tell theirs better. You create stronger bonds when others can relate to your struggles and successes, and it gives them room to open up about their lives, too.
✔️ Go beyond the checklist. Oftentimes, we enter the dating world only with our standards in mind. But have you given your date the space to tell their story? Have you thought about whether you check their boxes too?
✔️ Read the room. Would your traumatic or heavy experience inspire or scare off your listeners? How can you deploy your story in the right context? Would they benefit from this story? Consider these things before starting your, “Once upon a time…”
✔️ There are three types of stories you can tell: the vision, the mission, and the milestones. Then, calibrate your stories to touch the hearts and leave a lasting impact on your audience.
✔️ Build rapport with yourself. Your life’s ups and downs only have one constant: YOU. Admitting that your current situation isn’t working out is a hard pill to swallow. But once you take that initiative to change your life, you’ll thank yourself.
✔️ Effective storytelling puts you in rooms you aren’t in yet. When people know what you do and what you’re all about, it comes naturally for them to recommend you to others.

Hi, I’m Stephen, They don‘t teach you sales in school. They don‘t teach you how to be confident. They don‘t teach you how to be out in the world and how to make a way for yourself. But that’s what I’m here for. I’ve consulted, advised, and led workshops for more than 500 companies from 25 countries. I’ve learned that effective sales is about listening and connecting through stories. The better you talk, the more money you make and I’m here to show you how.

Glasses come in different lenses, each with a purpose – from blue-light-blocking to reading to distance.
We also wear lenses through which we see our relationships. Some of us may put on lenses of abandonment. Others of fear or betrayal.
Whichever lens we choose, the lens through which we see our relationships tends to determine what happens in them.
So, which lens do you want to put on?
Tune in to this episode: Seeing Clearly In Your Relationships.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Be clear about your default lenses. We wear default lenses because of our upbringing and what’s been ingrained in our nervous systems. Do your lenses serve you? You have the choice to change them.
✔️ Put on the lens of noticing the good. Through this lens, you can appreciate what’s working well in your relationship. You’ll see green flags you can be grateful for.
✔️ Grow your capacity to wear multiple lenses. A client was experiencing a difficult situation with a loved one. She was able to find another way to see the situation that was more life-affirming and had more possibility for growth in it. There’s always an opening available for change.
✔️ Changing lenses requires access to new lenses. Most of us get so wedded to a singular point of view through which we look at our relationships. Try on a new pair of lenses to see something new about your relationship… but only if you’re willing.

Time is an infinite thing that happens between God and the universe.
But you can speed up the timeframe in which you accomplish your goals and attract what you want by doing a few simple things, mostly inner work.
Whether you’re aiming to earn your first million or you want to meet the love of your life, it’s all possible with this concept of collapsing time.
Tune in to this episode: Collapsing Time To Have More Of What You Want with Shameca Tankerson.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ The key factors are trust and surrender. We have to trust ourselves, others, the process, and the divine for time to collapse. People who live the most extraordinary lives have learned to let go of control and take risks. Timing is God’s work, not ours.
✔️ Release everything outside of your control. Shameca Tankerson looks back on a time when her then-17-year-old son left home, calling her a “horrible parent”. Despite her pain, she allowed God to hold the process, until her son returned 8 years later, their bond stronger than ever.
✔️ Frequency over action. You can dress pretty, eat well, and go to the gym daily, and still not attract the love of your life. The key is to notice the resonance you’re embodying in your daily routines. Does it come from a place of self-harm and regret about the past? Keep your frequency in check.
✔️ Need is based on lack. Desire is based on abundance. Even if you’re not yet where you want to be, you have the capacity to be aware that you’re still on your way toward having what you want.
✔️ Accept what your desire entails. What are you willing to endure to receive what you want? For example, in the search for a potential partner, it’s no surprise that you’d have to kiss a few frogs before you meet your prince or princess.
✔️ Normalize your new limit before expanding. The moment we receive what we want, we tend to think, “Will I be able to get this again, can I get more, will I lose this?” This mindset comes from a place of scarcity. It’s important to slow down and honor the blessing you just received without moving on too quickly.
Shameca Tankerson is a trailblazer and phenom in the field of business revenue acceleration and is on a mission to empower entrepreneurial giants to experience massive wealth fast and become self-made millionaires that build dynasties and enduring generational wealth.

Imagine buying a gorgeous home and not maintaining it at all.
For the past six months, my partner and I have been trying to catch up with repairs on our 11-year-old home in Mexico. The previous owners didn’t maintain it properly and now, emergency situations pop up almost every week.
The same can happen to our relationships. You expect things to be fine, even without maintenance, and then things fall apart.I invite you to think of treating your relationships like a home you care enough about to maintain well.
Tune in to this episode: Treating Your Relationship like Your Home.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Sit down and assess. Like doing a house inspection, check areas such as communication, quality time, sex life, and finances before a breakdown happens. Or else you’ll end up in triage mode having to spend more time and energy on them.
✔️ Take care of yourself. If you’re eating healthily, getting enough sleep, and having hobbies you enjoy, you’re honoring yourself. You’ll show up in your relationships with a full cup and a nourished heart.
✔️ Find the spots to fix. Like how a house gets a squeaky floor, a leak, or a moldy wall, notice the crevices in your relationship that need repair.
- Is there something you’ve been avoiding that’s affecting your connection with your partner?
- Are there resentments to be released?
- Is there something you and your partner need to talk about?
These ignored areas may be small problems now, but they’ll eventually grow and cause more stress.
✔️ Non-romantic relationships are valuable assets. Whether you have a partner or not, give home-like care to your connections with friends and family. Nurturing these relationships with curiosity and conversations – both easy and hard – can bring you closer than ever.
I wish you a beautiful, love-filled home to live in all your relationships!

Most of us are not aware of being controlling.
We think that we’re doing it out of kindness, trying to help our partners. But in fact, we don’t realize that our actions come across to them as controlling.
So how do you begin to unpack that? And how do you stop it for good?
Relationship and intimacy expert Marla Mattenson is here to walk us through the ways to finally let go of control in our relationships.
Tune in to this episode: How To Let Go of Control in Relationship with Marla Mattenson.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Assume and be curious. Do you catch yourself irritated with your partner’s words or actions? Feeling resentful of them? You may be showing signs of being controlling. There’s nothing wrong with that. Give yourself space to learn and grow.
✔️ Ask for a redo. Your constant need for control makes you unconsciously think they’re in the wrong. Recreate the scenario with them when you both can be in your best selves. The goal is to come out of it with more love.
✔️ Become the vibration of worthiness. Knowing our worth makes admitting our flaws much easier. But most of us were raised by parents or caregivers who didn’t feel worthy. It's never too late to break the cycle.
✔️ Align yourself to the new definition of intimacy. It’s the ability to be unguarded and receptive at the same time in different aspects of your relationship. The idea is to lower your defenses, even if it feels scary, so you can increase your capacity to receive more than just your own way of being.
✔️ Every controlling expression has a reason. You shared a preference with your partner. You didn’t mean to sound controlling, but they felt it was.
Honor their feelings. If your partner is feeling it, it’s true.
✔️ Not everyone will enjoy your personal expression. Kindness can also mean setting firm boundaries. Some people may think that’s controlling, and that’s okay. This is your way of taking personal responsibility for your actions and choices.

Today’s topic came up for me because of something I hear all the time.
“You have to love yourself before you can have a great relationship.”
“I’m doing my work to love myself before I can attract the right person.”
I want to challenge these beliefs and assumptions because these are rooted in some misconceptions.
Tune in to this episode: The Common Mistake People Make Around Self-Love and Their Relationships.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Perfection holds us back. There’s a prevailing idea that we have to be “perfect” before we can attract a great relationship. Our lives are a long journey of learning. And manifesting from “a good place” isn’t as simple as 1-2-3.
✔️ Relationships challenge us. Some people thrive on being alone.
But there are ways to expand through challenges that you’ll only encounter when you’re with another person. That’s the beauty of relationships.
✔️ Do a daily act of self-love. A strong foundation of self-love allows you to ease up more in your relationships and provide space for yourself and others to be imperfect.
✔️ Get messy with people. There’s nothing wrong with making mistakes when engaging with others – as long as you hold yourself responsible to clean up your messes. That’s a true expression of self-love.
✔️ Set a baseline to speak about your wants. Watch out for any signs of slipping into codependency or self-abandonment. Have the courage to set boundaries and work on things with your partner when situations upset you.
✔️Avoidance is perfectionism disguised as self-work. Enjoying your time being single isn’t a bad thing. Your fear isn’t keeping you from danger, but it IS holding you back from having new experiences and growing from them.

For coach Wendy Sterling, divorce was “an opportunity for me to start understanding why I had fallen asleep at the wheel.”
A Facebook post about life coaching sparked the inspired community that she has grown now – an atmosphere of empowerment, supporting others who have gone through the same struggles.
Have a deeper look at navigating through the waves of divorce as Wendy Sterling dissects the steps in Relationship R.E.H.A.B and her story of converting pain into purpose.
Tune in to this episode: The Alchemy of Divorce with Wendy Sterling.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Reclaim your identity and voice. Learn to distinguish what’s important to you and what was important to who you thought you were in your marriage. Go back and identify your core values and your boundaries.
✔️ End the victim mindset. Have you been sending invitations to your pity party? Marriage is a 50/50 thing. One of the steps in overcoming the pain and coming out of it a better person is to take ownership of 100% of your choices.
✔️ Heal your wounds. It takes self-permission to acknowledge the pain, welcome it, and shift it into positivity. Give yourself the space to mourn and learn how to move through it.
✔️ Take accountability and move into acceptance. Accountability means holding yourself to the fire that you’re actually going to take action. Take responsibility for your past shortcomings, and commit to doing better.
✔️ Start building. Accept where your life is at now and grab the chance to do life differently. Design it the way you want it to be!
After going from married to divorced 16-years later, Wendy Sterling helps women to see how their divorce can be the most empowering experience they go through. She helps them find their true identity and voice to design a life they choose instead of feeling stuck with the one they have. Now, she is the creator of The Divorce R.E.H.A.B., a 5-Step Program to reclaim your identity, end your victim mindset, heal your wounds, find acceptance through accountability and build a life from an empowered mindset. Her business has achieved 6-figures in under two years as she's helped thousands of women transform their lives! Wendy is the host of the podcast: The Divorced Woman's Guide, which has had over 70,000 downloads in under 2 years and has over 4,000 followers on Instagram. For her expertise, she has been featured on The List, NBC-Tampa, Thrive Global, Romper, and many podcasts including Divorced Girl Smiling, The Divorce Survival Guide, Mom's Moving on, The Smart Woman Show, and The Divorce and Beyond Podcast.

Human connection specialist Mark Groves once said, “Walls keep people out. Boundaries teach people where the door is.”
And as women, we’ve been taught to be flexible, malleable caretakers at a young age.
Drawing up walls was our way of setting up boundaries — to survive and protect ourselves from certain situations.
But keeping up those walls is pushing us away from that thriving life and flourishing relationship we desire.
Take them down. Do the inner work. Stay open and strong.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Identify your boundaries. Shift your mindset and treat boundaries as invitations for other people to come and engage with you in your world.
✔️ Take down walls. We draw up walls to survive and protect ourselves from certain situations. But keeping the walls up hinders us from the life we desire. Do the inner work. Stay open and strong.
✔️ Clear boundaries mean self-respect. Saying a “yes” you didn’t intend cuts through your integrity. Be direct and efficient in saying “yes” and “no” – the truest expression of self-love.
✔️ Boundaries need no explanation. Exercise that muscle to say “no.” Learn to sit with the urge to justify it. It doesn’t require a laundry list of reasons to be valid. Nor does it need to be understood by others.
✔️ Develop a clear “no” for a trustworthy “yes”. It’s hard for others to know how to act when they’re with you without firm boundaries. We want our loved ones to be comfortable, and they want to engage with us the right way.
✔️ Boundaries give space for self-love. It’s the fundamental expression of self-love. It’s a way to show others how to win with you as a door, not a wall.
And if someone can’t meet you there, they’re not your person.
✔️ Practice saying “yes” with more specificity. Just like ordering that perfect cup of coffee at a cafe, don’t be afraid to say what you want. Apply this in every aspect of your life – meeting with friends, work, and even in the bedroom. You have full control of experiencing what feels good to you.

Gone are the days of sacrificing your fun days as an entrepreneur.
It’s all about balance and prioritizing the things that matter. Take it from Nikki Bradley who juggles motherhood, business, and marriage.
For her, having the intention to show up for her loved ones strengthens her commitment to nurturing the relationships around her.
Tune in to this episode: How to Keep the Fun and Flame Going While Building a 6-Figure Business with Nikki Bradley.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ How to maintain a happy relationship. Surround yourself with happy couples, Nikki Bradley says. She points out the importance of being careful in choosing who you spend time with as a couple because they’ll influence your relationship.
✔️ Show your authentic self. Nikki Bradley teaches others to show up as the biggest, baddest, and dopest version of themselves. She also continues to share the most genuine pieces of herself.
✔️ Be intentional. Rings and all the finer things come and go. But how will you let your partner feel that you’re happy to have them as your person? Make it a daily habit to be there for them.
✔️ Serve your clients in a way that gives you freedom. A hospital scare drove Nikki Bradley to switch up the way she handles her business. Her new mantra? Eliminate as much stress as possible.
✔️ Allow the different flavors of your life to blend beautifully. Don’t compartmentalize yourself. Let your audience know that you’re that business-minded super-parent with a loving partner and interesting hobbies.
✔️ Maintain playfulness in the relationship. Play pranks. Have sexy video calls. Don’t stop flirting. Crack jokes at each other. Create that light-hearted atmosphere as if you’ve just started dating. Keep the flame burning!
Nikki Bradley is a brand strategist who specializes in helping women entrepreneurs build their personal brand alongside their business brand so that they can bring out their biggest, baddest, dopest version of themselves and show up as more of themselves to serve with more impact and sell with more confidence. She also works with organizations to empower their business leaders to become powerful brand ambassadors, position themselves as thought leaders, and build their own personal brand.

What is an upper limit?
Gay Hendricks defines it as the highest level of good and success your nervous system allows you to have in your life.
Shaped by childhood and lifestyle, they are encoded into our systems and go off whenever we receive an amount of good that we aren’t comfortable with.
This innate “fear” mechanism holds us back from getting the best out of our relationships.
Tune in to this episode: How Upper Limits Affect You In Your Relationships
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Get rid of limiting beliefs. It’s been ingrained in us early on that we’re fundamentally flawed, that when we experience green flags in our relationships, we’re quick to doubt our worth and expect something to go wrong somehow.
✔️ Catch the upper limit. When you catch yourself saying lines like:
- “This is too good to be true.”
- “Why are good things happening to me? I don’t deserve this.”
- “Something bad will eventually happen. I know it.”
Take a step back, and embrace the flow of goodness by following two simple steps.
✔️ Upper limits can show in many ways. It can be when paying for a fancier hotel room, getting a better house, or experiencing a date that ticks all the qualities of your dream partner. Give yourself the permission to experience the best things in life. You are worth it!
✔️ Shift your thinking to appreciation. When the upper limit hits, quickly think of something you appreciate about your partner and something you’ve done recently that you’re proud of.
✔️ Communicate your upper limits. Have a partner, friend, family member, or anyone you trust, and talk about it. It’s best to have someone whom you can be accountable with.
✔️ Expand your limits to have more in life. Start developing that capacity to receive the best. Hone that inner voice to say, “I deserve to have all my goals and desires.” You have the strength and intelligence to reach your full potential.

It’s astonishing how so many high-achieving women have considered divorce at least once.
Most have trouble believing that it’s impossible to be in a great relationship while fulfilling their visionary life purpose.
Thats where Teri Karjala comes in and instills in her amazing, hardworking clients that they CAN have both. And all it takes is a mindset shift.
Tune in to this episode: Mindset Reset 2.0 for Your Relationships with Teri Karjala
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Recognize your innate abundance. We’ve been conditioned to operate in a state of scarcity. But that belief is absolutely false. The scarcity mindset only prevents us from welcoming prosperity into our work and relationships.
✔️ Teri Karjala describes that our brains operate in Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Negative thoughts produce negative evidence, while positive thoughts find positive evidence. We possess control over our minds, and our feelings are a personal choice.
✔️ Keep the relationship playful. The fun doesn’t have to stop after your partnership becomes official. Teri Karjala and her husband preserve the childlike goofiness by pulling silly pranks on each other - and even other people.
✔️ Protect your weekends like it’s nobody’s business. How can you be both a successful entrepreneur and a loving partner? By finding time. Commit to making more memories with your family by shutting out distractions.
✔️ Become a magnet and let things show up for you. Teri Karjala teaches us her two secrets to work-love balance: Incorporating energy to find easier methods and forming a team. Applying these can also prevent burnout.
✔️ Learn to work with your brain instead of fighting it. Ditch the affirmations! Use generative questions - prompts that require creativity and encourage you to take action.
- “Why is it so easy for me to attract a loving individual?”
- “I wonder what it’d take for me to generate amazing profits in my company.”
- “Spending more time with my family is so effortless, isn’t it?”
Your brain would then generate those reasons for you. And voila, you’re now ready to take on the world.
Teri Karjala, is a Transformational Life Strategist, the founder of Creative Counseling Center and Talking With Teri, best-selling author of Be The Magic of You: Tools to Transform Your Life with a foreword written by Jack Canfield. She is a Premier Success Coach with eWomen Network and a Coach with Forbes. She has been featured in many television, podcasts, and radio shows, including Hay House. Teri has combined her counseling background with energy psychology and applied the principles of quantum physics to transform people’s lives by clearing the unconscious blocks that hold us back.

In 30 years of personal development work, I’ve noticed several deep truths about the process of growing in our relationships.
I’d like to share these truths with you today.
Because here’s the thing, when people are stressed or life feels nuts, it impacts our relationships.
Take a moment and ask yourself:
“How present and aware can I be in life when it goes sideways?”
Can I stay:
- Kind
- Generous
- Loving
- Present
- Give grace
- Can I ask for grace for my foibles?
- Can I have wit and levity in the midst of life's shenanigans?
In this powerful Relationship Alchemy podcast, you will discover keys to responding to life with more presence and awareness. And (PHEW!) there’s no mythical state of perfection that you have to get to to win.
Tune in to this episode: Keys to Continuing To Grow in Your Relationships
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Unlock yourself from shame. Often, our desire to grow stems from a place of scarcity. We feel bad about something, thinking we need to fix it, but that’s not the best starting point for growth.
✔️ Control your ego. The ego isn’t bad and certainly doesn’t need to be killed. It’s more important to recognize when it’s working for you and when it’s working against you. Be aware when it’s putting you in competition with your partner and blocking your growth.
✔️ Accept life’s challenges. A problem-free relationship is a myth. Don’t strive for perfection. Aim for presence and awareness instead.
- Ask yourself how you can give love and grace, even in stressful situations.
- Can you stay level-headed in the midst of life’s shenanigans?
Being human means living a human life. The key lies in embracing and navigating imperfections.
✔️ Acceptance is the root of making new choices. Carl Jung said, “We can’t change anything unless we accept it.” Be welcoming of your current self as you work on the areas you want to improve and grow.
✔️ The ego will try to co-opt your growth. The point of pursuing growth isn’t to put yourself on a higher moral ground than your partner.
If your partner isn’t also doing their inner work, you may start to feel that you’ve grown apart and your values don’t align anymore, but it doesn’t mean that you’re better than them.
✔️ Success is gauged by your ability to handle issues. Growth isn’t linear. It happens in more of a spiral. When old issues resurface, it isn’t a sign of failure, it’s a sign that you’re ready to encounter and work through a deeper layer.

Most partnerships sail smoothly in the aspects of love and building a healthy family. However, the topic of money has become taboo, striking an unhealed wound on both parties.
Together with coach, author, and business strategist Leisa Peterson, we dissect our core beliefs in money management, the attraction to our “financial opposite”, and the right approach in initiating this tricky subject.
Tune in to this episode: Relationships and Money with Leisa Peterson.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Cultivate mindful and intentional relationships with money. Leisa Peterson aims to discover the root cause of this disconnection with money and open people’s eyes to the cycle of playing off of your partner’s financial fears.
✔️ Money habits are learned. Remember how your parents handled money? You may have unconsciously picked up their habits, or intentionally done the opposite after seeing the consequences.
✔️ Establish safety in money conversations. Set some ground rules to maintain comfort in your dialogue. Go through these guide questions:
- “What does money mean to you?”
- “How does money make you feel?”
- “What makes you feel good about having more money?”
- “What worries you about not having enough money?”
Listen deeply. Compare notes. And see your partner through the lens of their money story.
✔️ Awareness is everything. Recognizing the sources of fears and tendencies slowly breaks down the problematic parts of your relationship. And those issues you thought would never be resolved are straightened out.
✔️ Your commitment should be stronger than the noise. Instead of Googling for solutions, work with an expert to finally escape the limbo. Also, team up with your partner in riding the waves of conflict and disagreement.
✔️ Be curious enough to explore newfound wisdom with your partner. As you’ve been enlightened, your partner may not be on the same wavelength. Don’t clobber them with information. Approach discussions like gift-giving.
Leisa Peterson, CFP® is on a mission to help 1,000,000 people elevate their financial consciousness. As a money coach, business consultant, and spiritual teacher, Leisa hosts the Mindful Millionaire podcast as well as virtual workshops and deep-dive retreats. Her masterful blend of sound financial strategy and mindfulness training helps people break free of patterns of lack, scarcity, and money fears, allowing them to finally lead the rewarding, fulfilling, and abundant lives they most desire.
Leisa has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, FastCompany, Forbes, The Week, Huffington Post, and has been featured on many podcasts and radio shows. Prior to starting WealthClinic®, LLC, Leisa worked with some of the largest financial and business services companies in the world including Wells Fargo, State Farm Insurance, UNUM Life Insurance, New York Life, Federal Express, Pitney Bowes, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors.

Owning your power isn’t so much about your words or actions. It’s also not about putting yourself above others.
It’s about your choices.
It’s about choosing day to day and moment by moment to make decisions that are aligned with who you want to be and how you want to show up.
Knowing how to make an aligned choice helps you stay true to your authentic self and avoid the worst arguments.
Tune in to this episode: Owning Your Power in Your Relationships.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Relationships are like a roller coaster filled with ups and downs. It’s impossible to control every event but you can adjust your responses to the situation. In times of conflict and difficulty, ask yourself:
- “What quality will this help me develop?”
- “How could I benefit from this, even if it’s terrible?”
These are learning opportunities and a chance for you to strengthen your ability to make powerful choices in difficult circumstances.
✔️ Know when to flee. Are you in an unhealthy, toxic, or abusive relationship? Get to safety and seek appropriate support. In an adverse situation, know when to ask for help.
✔️ Forgive your past self. Let go of shame and move forward with what you know now. Carrying self-blame only locks in your old patterns. Show gratitude for the gift of choice and informed decision-making.
✔️ Your choices are more powerful than your circumstances. Sometimes, we blame our current situation for our awful decisions. But once we acknowledge our power, intelligence, and autonomy, no matter what’s happening around us, we can unlock the secret to writing our own happy endings.
✔️ Tending to our nervous system is an important choice. Everything that happens before, during, and after a conflict is a choice. Letting your emotions ruin your whole day, not taking a break, keeping quiet when your heart wants to speak up - all of these things are up to you.
✔️ Find a small decision that aligns you with yourself. Is it stopping yourself from overeating? Catching your tongue before throwing out an insult? Deciding to walk outdoors to get some sunlight and fresh air? You have the capacity to show up differently in the world.

Expert consultant and author Michelle Nedelec inspires people not only with her digital marketing know-how but also her experience in navigating through “polarizing” relationships.
Her partner of 22 years is a techie introvert while she’s a creative adventurer. They’re complete opposites but Michelle says that their partnership gives her an opportunity to learn and improve every day.
Tune in to this episode: Opposites Attract with Michelle Nedelec
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ We choose our total opposites because of our desire for personal development. Michelle Nedelec points out that we select partners that tick us off in that sweet spot - that individual who can reveal to us the parts of ourselves to work on and allow us the space to mature.
✔️ Date someone who challenges you. Why did Michelle Nedelec choose her current partner? She yearned for a challenge, someone intelligent who can point out where she needs to grow.
✔️ Get off of the argument elevator. Instead of stacking up the frustration until the 23rd floor, separate yourselves. Take a time-out to self-reflect. Sometimes, it’s a you-problem that you can’t see until you recenter yourself.
✔️ Contribute to the world in your own special way. Michelle Nedelec’s book, Business Ownership Mindset: The Ultimate Guide to Freedom teaches aspiring entrepreneurs to build companies that run without their effort.
✔️ Resetting yourself helps you respond and return with curiosity. Walk away for a while and recenter. You might realize that your buttons were pushed because you allowed yourself to be affected. You can then come back with fresh eyes and reconnect.
✔️ Find what enamored you about your partner and cherish it. The way they leave their used cups on the table, their inability to color-coordinate their clothes, or their off-key singing - whatever it may be, appreciate their quirks and remember to stay curious.
Michelle Nedelec has over 20 years of experience in Executive Coaching, working with clients ranging from 8 figures to solopreneurs. Michelle runs the creative side of her Done For You services helping entrepreneurs set up and maintain their digital marketing through her company, Awareness Strategies at AwarenessStrategies.com. She also draws on her experience from running her clinic Success Therapy.

Picture this:
You and your partner are having fun. Suddenly, they say or do something that hits an old wound inside you. You get overwhelmed by emotion, and you either blurt out the nastiest things or immediately walk out.
And that right there is when wreckage happens in relationships.
So, how can we improve the situation?
Use my proprietary four-step P.A.R.T. process: Pause, Ask, Request or Reframe, and Thank.
Tune into this episode: Do Your P.A.R.T for More Connection
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ When you find yourself flooded with emotion in a conflict, pause. As our nervous system goes into fight-or-flight, the impulse to eviscerate the other with hurtful words comes from our “lizard brain” — our ancestral response to protect ourselves from danger. You have the power to bring yourself back to your conscious mind. Be the bigger person in the situation.
✔️ Make a request for support. If the other did something that triggered you, make a clear request. First, say how their action made you feel. Then, if a change is needed, request what you want done differently, otherwise reframe your own thinking.
✔️ Show gratitude for the situation. Appreciate yourself for mustering the courage to pause, reground, and approach the situation in a positive light. Don’t forget to thank your partner for their helpful response as well.
✔️ A time-out is for you to settle and tend to yourself. Ditch your revenge plan to get the upper hand. Do what you need to do to get back to your body and your center : journal, cry your heart out, scream into a pillow, sing your favorite song. Whatever it is, get yourself back to a more centered place.
✔️ Reframe your thinking. Recognize the action that triggered your emotions. At first, you may think it’s something that the other party should do differently. But sometimes, it can be a personal wound that only you can work on.
✔️ A deeper connection requires sharing childhood wounds. Cultivate a deep-rooted bond with your partner by allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Open up to each other about your hopes, fears, delights, and anxieties. Let them see and feel you. Don’t be afraid to reveal the most tender parts of yourself. This can lead you in working together to have room for each other’s feelings.

I’ve been working with Lisa Thomas as my energy healer for over a year. And she’s amazing. As a transformational leader, she’s made a big difference in my life as she empowers people to live authentically and in alignment with their soul’s purpose.
In this rare opportunity to access her brilliance, we unpack our collective past and inherited patterns and how epigenetics play in our ability to form flourishing connections.
Tune in to this episode: How Your DNA and Epigenetics Impact Your Relationships with Lisa Thomas
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Recognize destructive patterns. Lisa Thomas explains the parenting styles exposed to us in our childhoods can greatly influence our decision-making in our adult relationships. We may unconsciously model a controlling father or an unaffectionate mother, but we have the power and capacity to hold ourselves accountable.
✔️ Make space for mistakes. Breaking your back to please a partner can be a form of emotional manipulation. Dropping an “I love you” in the middle of an argument seems harmless from the outside, but it can actually be you policing your partner’s intense feelings and slapping a band-aid on a deep wound.
✔️ Evaluate your next relationship. Moving from one failed relationship to another? Your new date may be a better version of your ex, but it could be the same bad habits in a prettier package.
✔️ It’s your divine right to be in a harmonious relationship. After a string of broken relationships, we can develop a habit of self-blame and guilt. Remember, you’re human, and life is full of change. Remember, you’re human, and life is full of change. Forgive yourself for your past, and speak out when your partner doesn’t fulfill your needs or negatively impacts you.
✔️ Improving your relationship begins with you. One hurdle in the relationship doesn’t call for an immediate breakup. With the knowledge that your partner’s flaws may be a result of their upbringing, step up and do little things to enhance your bond.
✔️ Fear creates a doomed relationship. Learning to let go of these worries is a long process, especially if our life experiences repeatedly showed us the worst. However, everybody can be empowered with their words. Say “no” to that fearful voice in your head. You’re in charge.
Lisa Thomas is a transformational leader, intuitive, and master energy healer who is dedicated to helping people reach their next level of success in business, mindset, and personal relationships, by breaking cycles of struggle, upper limiting beliefs, and negative patterns. She specializes in releasing inherited emotional DNA, such as fear of success, fear of failure, anxiety, procrastination, false money beliefs, and relationship drama. Lisa believes everyone deserves to be seen, known, and heard for who they are. Her expertise empowers people to live authentically and in alignment with their Soul’s purpose.

If you’re someone who gets fired up about serving people and creating ways to change the world for the better, you’re a visionary.
While you’re out there giving your all to your projects and goals, you may also desire to have a deeply loving and connected relationship. But sometimes, it’s extremely difficult to manage having both.
I’m here to share with you my favorite tips to make it easier and function better as a visionary exploring the world of relationships through transitioning better between the two spaces.
Tune in to this episode: Relationships for Visionaries.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ You don’t have to handle this alone. Visionaries tend to have moments of isolation when they’re innovating and immersing themselves in their creative process. You can work together as a team on how each of you can stay true to your individual identities while maintaining your intimate bond.
✔️ Create your own transitioning process. With some trial-and-error, you can get clear on which transition activities work best to open your energy and prepare you to reconnect with your loved ones — be it a guided meditation, taking a nap, or dancing to your favorite song.
✔️ Communicate with honesty and love. If the visionary partner is stuck in frustration, invite them into a conversation about how to support each other in improving the transition out of creative space and into relational space.
✔️ Maintain a high level of creativity and inspiration. Rest and love are fuel for visionaries. But when they’re occupied in their craft, they forget to fully unplug. Make sure to tend to your relationship to fill up and avoid creative burnout and conflict.
✔️ Be deliberate about your transitions. Visionaries may be unaware that they need to transition. Together, find ways to implement the process effectively and prioritize it. Something as simple as taking a walk can prevent petty quarrels and saying the wrong things out of irritation.
✔️ Transitions create receptiveness and availability. Your body may be in the same room as your loved ones, but is your mind there? Handling transitions better teaches us to be responsible and present partners. It gives us the maturity to say, “I’ll get back to you in 10 minutes when I’m in a better headspace.”

Our guest for today’s episode changed my life when he introduced us to our realtor in Mexico who helped us buy our beautiful home! I’ve met Daniel Mangena through my speaker coach, and since then, we’ve become friends. I’m excited to have him share his thoughts and advice on alignment, activating money DNA, and becoming a wealth magnet.
Tune in to this episode: How To Establish an Abundant Relationship with Money with Daniel Mangena
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Abundance is a natural state. Just like the ocean's vastness, abundance is an inherent state of being manifested in all living creatures and Earth’s resources. Once we acknowledge that it’s always inside us, the constant chase can stop and our desires can start to flow more quickly into our lives.
✔️ Stop meditating. Daniel Mangena explains the importance of alignment and how moving with intention turns on your money DNA, the quality that attracts wealth into your everyday life. Release those limiting beliefs and reach your higher self.
✔️ Accept without fear. When you experience an influx of wealth, accept and cherish it. Let go of anxious thoughts around it. You deserve the best in the world.
✔️ Push your edge, not your buttons. We sometimes forget that perfection is impossible, as it goes against the intricacies and nuances of the human experience. You’re never going to get it right every time, or even every day. And as a human, that’s OK.
✔️ Leverage your money DNA to reach your desires. Finding out your love language and implementing it for yourself through small, daily gestures — be it exercise or wearing new perfume — switches on your money DNA, putting you at a high vibrational frequency as you work.
✔️ Be responsible in how you respond to external things. What are some of your partner’s quirks that you just can’t stand? Their short temper or messiness may drive you nuts, but these habits may have been formed in their childhood and encoded in their subconscious, which makes it hard for them to stop doing them.
Daniel Mangena is an International Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Broadcaster, and Coach. He is best known for his highly successful Micro2Millions program, being the author of Stepping Beyond Intention and his Do it With Dan and Beyond Success podcasts. He is completely self-made and has spent decades perfecting his world-class coaching methodology.
His mission statement: “To spearhead an evolutionary uplift in universal consciousness, by awakening people to the importance of their unique role and enabling them to manifest their dream life.”

Today, I’ll be talking about a concept that I’ve spoken about in my weekly live video, and I want to unpack it a bit more here.
Even on ordinary days, when life is going well, I recommend applying slow practice and flow practice with your partner. I’ll be sharing with you ways how to implement these practices in your daily life and why they matter - especially when times get tough.
Tune in to this episode: The Key to Keeping Your Relationships Strong During Hard Times.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Do slow practice with yourself. It’s impossible to pour from an empty cup. Take some me-time and do slow practice with yourself - meditate, get enough good sleep, eat cleanly, journal, read, move your body - not because you have to, but because it makes you feel good. And you feeling good makes everyone around you feel better.
✔️ What’s a way to stitch your relationship together in tough times? Touching. Lots of it. Something simple as a warm hug while cooking in the kitchen or a quick kiss before leaving for work can make a huge difference. Keeping the physical connection alive between you guarantees that you and your partner stay on the same team.
✔️ Slow practice can also prepare us for the worst. It’s easy to get stressed during high-pressure situations like travel planning, natural disasters, and sickness. To avoid this, work out in advance who’s going to handle what.
✔️ Flow practice kicks in when you’re in high gear. Being in a relationship isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. The importance of being on the same team holds true when you and your partner encounter difficult situations, like moving out in a week, suddenly falling ill, or traveling together for the first time. No matter how stressful life gets, you and your partner can efficiently flow through it together when you’ve been consistent with slow practice.
✔️ Acknowledge blow-ups and disagreements and move on. The key is to face stuff head-on, clean it up, and let it go. When you’re in a time where flow practice is required, that’s OK. Don’t force yourself to return to slow practice, as long as you do your best to slow down and recover between intense peak moments.
✔️ Anchor yourself in appreciation for the good moments. Show appreciation for the little things that you get to do in your life - like sipping a hot cup of coffee, watching the sunset, or taking a walk - and watch your life improve.

Since meeting them for the first time at a conference, I’ve been inspired and blown away by Alex and Allyson Grey, the co-founders of the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM).
That time was shortly after my father died, and the Greys immersed me in the most enlightening conversation about death.
After that, a friendship was born.
Having been closely involved in a small group that helped CoSM come to fruition, I’ve witnessed the depths of the creative partnership that Alex and Allyson possess.
I wanted to bring them as an example of what’s possible and what goes on behind the scenes in a relationship of creative life partners.
Tune in to this episode: Sacred Partnership with Alex and Allyson Grey
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ See through your partner’s eyes. For 46 years, Alex and Allyson Grey have established the habit of working together in one studio. They have made it a point to collaborate and stay involved, even while pursuing their personal artistic endeavors. They believe that the process of creative and performative partnership allows couples to get insights into one’s beloved’s thoughts and preferences.
✔️ Commitment is a transformative engine. It’s the override program for couples seeking to endure the test of time while improving for the better. Self-awareness and reflection of one’s past can lead you and your partner on a path to a healthier and deeper connection.
✔️ The number of years you’ve dedicated to a relationship holds no water unless you strive for self-discovery. Every day you spend with your partner, continue to seek fresh methods in accessing their consciousness to learn more about them. Marie-Elizabeth Mali dissects the significance of visionary culture in the post-pandemic world.
✔️ Our partner is our sacred mirror. As humans, we dislike our flaws being pointed out, and prefer hearing about our positive characteristics. For change and growth to occur, we should recognize the dreadful parts of ourselves. Having a partner that reflects both our beauty and shortcomings helps us become better people, even if it’s uncomfortable.
✔️ Have an aspect of your relationship that benefits the world. Co-founding the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors was a divine experience in Alex and Allyson Grey’s relationship. They have deliberately chosen to create a place for religious gathering as an eternal service to their community – a meaningful contribution that they can leave behind for generations.
✔️ Work in connection with your creative spirit. Religion ties us back to the divine and the core of our being. Whether you’re an artist or someone wishing to play a positive part in this world, everyone is a medium of transmission of imaginative flow. When we make life-changing decisions, the universe or any other higher being we believe in expands and makes it possible for us.
The art of Alex Grey represents realms of visionary consciousness, interweaving the anatomy of body and soul. In Grey’s paintings, the light of spirit illuminates the core of each being, depicting psychedelic mystical experiences with artwork that has touched and inspired millions. Alex has authored five books, including three monographs, had countless exhibitions, and extensive reproductions and articles about his artwork. His speaking appearances, including a popular TED talk and his work with the rock band TOOL on three albums, including stage sets, animations, and Grammy award-winning album art have made Alex Grey a renowned figure in contemporary art.
Allyson Grey is a painter and social sculptor. Allyson’s paintings address an essentialized world view, the artist’s interpretation of the realms of Chaos, Order, and Secret Writing. Chaos symbolizes the material world, a field of colored light made of particles and waves, cells and systems. Order represents the interconnected realm of pure spirit, a mandala of energy and light. Secret Writing scribes the untranslatable realm of creative expression. Educated at Tufts University (MFA), Allyson has long been an art educator, editor, art events creator, muse to artists, and the creative and life partner of the artist, Alex Grey since meeting in art school (1975).
Together, the Greys co-founded the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, CoSM, a spiritual creative retreat center outside of New York City.

Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ It’s never too late to learn something new about your partner. Doing a review after an important date allows you to understand each other’s preferences even more deeply - and strengthens the team you have built.
✔️ Whether it’s after a vacation or Valentines’ Day, asking the right questions can take you and your partner’s experience to a whole new level. Got the table you wanted? Hated rushing out the door? Identify the best and worst parts of your plan so that each date becomes even better than the last one.
✔️ Take the time to articulate your preferences. Romantic dates can be hit or a miss. But with thorough planning and reviewing, you and your partner will discover each other’s likes and dislikes. Experience the perfect date every single time.
✔️ Sometimes, it’s the little things that matter the most. A hug, a question, or just being there can be a big deal to your partner. These are gestures we naturally do when we reach a deeper level of familiarity.
✔️ All improvements start with awareness. In just a 4-minute assessment, you’ll be able to discover and focus your efforts on the things that matter in your relationship. Take the assessment here: https://relationshipalchemyassessment.com.

How is your relationship with food? Is it one full of deprivation and sacrifice? For personal chef and coach Angelique Santana, food that doesn't make you feel good is no good.
Tune in to this episode: The Alchemy of Food and Relationship
with Angelique Santana.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ There are no rules in food and love. Many people's relationship with food feels punitive and leaves them feeling guilty. It's a cyclical thought of "I know I shouldn't eat this, BUT..." Angelique Santana completely redefines that in her vegan cookbook "Food Is Love." She teaches how what you eat should bring love, joy, and ease to your life by customizing a plan designed for your unique needs.
✔️ We express love through food to ourselves, our families, friends, and other people we care about. Experts believe that food is an additional love language that engages the senses and serves as a powerful connection builder.
✔️ Angelique's journey and transformation inspire people and guide them toward a healthy lifestyle. Going on a plant-based diet helped her lose 25 pounds, which changed her overall lifestyle, and she became vegan. In 2014, she launched Eat With Angelique, a private chef service catering primarily to successful entrepreneurs looking for a way to fuel their bodies with the best ingredients possible.
✔️ A healthy relationship with food begins with self-love. Taking care of our family and friends is a definite expression of love. Yet, when it comes to our relationship with ourselves, how come showing ourselves the same love becomes a lot harder for us? If we want to achieve wellness and be wise with our food choices, it starts from the willingness to put ourselves first.
Angelique Santana is the owner and founder of Eat With Angelique, the small business she launched with a singular mission in mind - to guide people toward a healthy lifestyle starting, but not ending, with the food they eat. Angelique is a speaker, a coach, an author, and a chef. After graduating from the College of NJ, Angelique spent 15 years in fitness working for industry leaders such as Bally Total Fitness and Equinox. In 2012, she earned her Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Halfway through the program, Angelique went vegan for 28 days and lost twenty-five pounds. This experience, combined with Angelique’s newfound passion for preparing cooked and raw vegan meals inspired her to start her own business as a personal chef, transforming lives through food, one bite at a time.

Whether you're single or partnered, we all have expectations that arise on days like February 14 when there's a lot of pressure for it to go a certain way. Why not make this year different and permit yourself to plan for your own special surprise! This Valentine's day, ask directly for the experience you want to have and find yourself having way more fun.
Tune in to this episode: The #1 Key To Having a Happy Valentine's Day with Marie-Elizabeth Mali.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ This Valentine's, resolve to be more deliberate about creating the experience your heart desires. Whether you are single or in a relationship, don't be passive and complain when you don't have the perfect day you want.
Suppose there's a restaurant you want to go to, an activity you want to try, or you want your partner to do a particular thing in the house — tell your partner because they can't read your mind. If you're single and want to go out and have a Friendsgiving evening, ask directly. Set it up. And then you get to have the experience you enjoy.
✔️ Manage your expectations. Doing so doesn't mean diminishing them so that you don't get disappointed. The point is that you can participate and co-create the day you want to happen with the people you want to spend the day with.
Invite them to surprise you and be explicit about what you want, set up the day together as a team, and then truly be open and receptive to that surprise. Make that a practice. Whatever the results are, enjoy the experience and appreciate the effort that people you love tried to give you a good time.
✔️ Notice the little things that please you and appreciate the efforts that your loved ones show you. Begin amassing evidence that you're loved and supported, that life is for you, and that good things happen. Write down three to five appreciations a day, knowing that you are training your brain and vision to see what is working, acknowledge the good, appreciate and remember it, and have it in your arsenal when your mind forgets.

It takes a unique mindset and heart to build a company with a partner who is your lover and business partner at the same time. CEO Marisa Murgatroyd is a testament that it doesn't need to be hard or complicated to live, work and run a seven-figure business with your spouse. Tune in to this episode: The Alchemy of Running an Empire with Your Spouse with Marisa Murgatroyd.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Marisa shares how she and her husband Murray have a unique way of running things. "We're so passionate about what we do in our work, in our business that we do talk about ideas and business and creativity a lot. We've experimented with boundaries, but because we're such hardcore entrepreneurs running multiple businesses serving thousands of people, in some ways, it feels a little inauthentic to NOT talk about business. As perceivers in personality, Pisces, and free spirits, we are in the flow of our creativity all the time. We also just kind of talk about everything."
✔️ Respect each other's rhythms. For Marisa, her mornings are her time to create. "I like to wake up and just be in my creative zone, and I don't talk to anyone for a while. I need to be alone in my zone, and my husband gets it."
✔️ Squeeze in moments in the daily grind and make sure to give enough attention and energy to each other. The couple commits to taking walks during mornings and afternoons to breathe, connect, eat together, and watch a film to look forward to at night.
✔️ Those sweet little moments make such a difference for our partners rather than the grand gestures. Some relationships end up being off in their different worlds and expect the vacation to bring them together. Without those daily stitching of moments, a bigger gap will need to be crossed in the future.
✔️ Being in a business and a relationship are the biggest self-development paths that exist. For Marisa, running companies and building a legacy with her spouse is the best experience to learn, grow, and evolve together.
Marisa Murgatroyd is the founder of Live Your Message, where she turns entrepreneurs into Online Superheroes. At 4'11 and a quarter, she's called the shortest woman in marketing — and that doesn't stop her from having huge ideas.
She's the "go to" brand builder for industry luminaries and heavyweights such as Justin Livingston, Callan Rush, Danny Iny, Alexis Neely and Susan Peirce Thompson.
Marisa helps entrepreneurs create a business that is authentic and aligned with who they are, to empower them to turn up the dial on their "inner superhero", so they can be the superhero to their tribe, as well as in their own lives.

"We're the same team here."
This saying is an excellent reminder for many spouses and partners inside a relationship. We tend to forget that we're in this life together, especially when we have intense and complex disagreements.
In this special episode, I invited my partner Patrick Price to break down how the idea of being on the "same team" has transformed how we navigate disagreements and big decisions in our relationship.
You may have heard me referring to this in Episode 2 on the "5 Habits To Strengthen Your Relationship" and in Episode 13 on "Your Influential Voice at Work and Home with Tricia Brouk."
Let's deep dive into this powerful mindset in this new episode of Relationship Alchemy —Being on the Same Team in Your Relationship.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ We were working with a couples' coach in 2018 who introduced this idea to us that changed the dynamics of my relationship with my partner. It's a constant reminder that we belong on the same team as a couple. Many people didn't grow up believing such. When we disagree about something, we try to fight to the death to win and argue to be heard.
✔️ Couples that forget they're on the same team can't move forward. Do you have fights wherein you're like two boxers coming at each other inside the ring, trying to beat the other one to win? Patrick talks about people missing out on synergy and cohesion and reminding us that as partners, you should be helping each other out instead, like a basketball or football team.
✔️ The best recommendation for couples: give your team a NAME. Why? This helps disrupt your current argumentative patterns and even can help them be playful fights.
✔️ Our genius is separate and can do lots, but we can do a magnitude more together. We often find a better solution when we work together rather than in opposition.

Every time you speak to your children across the dining room, have a conversation with your partner in the bedroom, talk with your team across the boardroom, or stand on a stage and communicate to an audience of 5,000 people, all of these circumstances and environments are equally important.
Award-winning director and writer Tricia Brouk emphasizes that every interaction with other people is an opportunity to effectively communicate using your voice and make someone feel heard and seen to elevate them in the world.
Tune in to this new episode of Relationship Alchemy — Your Influential Voice at Work and Home with Tricia Brouk.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Being in a relationship takes practice. Whether we accept it or not, it can take a lifetime to master our relationships. Can you actually rehearse for marriage? Tricia points out that you can definitely practice the art of communication with your partner or spouse. There are many ways to hone the skill of being in a relationship.
✔️ Strengthen your relationship with your spouse or partner by trying this phenomenal tip Tricia calls "Threes". Implement this with your partner; take turns asking these questions and giving answers.
-What do you appreciate about yourself?
-What are you grateful for?
-What do you love about me?
✔️ As a seven-figure business owner, director, and writer Tricia Brouk's main priority is an amazing and thriving marriage. I commend her because not everybody can value both those things at the same time. Tricia shares, "my marriage is my most successful production." How do you ensure that you and your spouse are on the same team as you grow in your individual careers?
✔️ The truth is that your voice matters, and it’s your responsibility to start using it. The amazing, multidimensional parts of who you are give you the space to integrate your uniqueness and be the instrument of a unique message that people need to hear.
Tricia Brouk is an international award-winning director. She founded The Big Talk Academy and was the executive producer of TEDxLincolnSquare. She curates the Speaker Salon in NYC, hosts The Big Talk, an award-winning podcast and her book, The Influential Voice: Saying What You Mean For Lasting Legacy, was the #1 pre-order new release on Amazon.

What is authenticity? It’s become this license for many of us to throw all our unmediated stuff at people and be like, "Well, that's my authenticity!" It’s become an excuse for absolving ourselves of responsibility of working with what's genuinely coming up within us.
To me, being authentic is more about sharing your truth and having the courage to reveal your tender places— your joy, pain, desires, curiosities, fears and the full range of feelings you may have.
Tune in and learn more about Being Authentic in Your Relationships with Marie-Elizabeth Mali.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ You and your habitual reactions. Notice your first reaction to a trigger, a happening or an event. It’s likely coming out of the past. It's a conditioned response that you’ve adopted since you were young, and your brain automatically responds to that stimulus in that way. You can’t truly be authentic until you start getting to know who that real you is beyond who you've been taught to be.
✔️ Being authentic with others. Authenticity doesn't include control. Authenticity is just realness. It's not about the other person, getting them to change, or about making them wrong. It's about letting people see and feel the real you so that you can mutually decide if you want to keep engaging with one another or if you're not a good fit.
✔️ You and your assumptions. Your assumptions about yourself that came out of traumatic or difficult experiences are not the truth of who you are. They come out of learned survival behaviors and fears around being unlovable or unworthy. It's never too late to get to know who you truly are beyond those assumptions. Get to know yourself better because who you are is WAY more than what happened to you.
✔️ You and your joys. Allow yourself to be seen in your delight when someone excites you and makes you happy. Notice: do you put a lid on your delight because you don't want to seem too eager or too easily pleased? Being an easily pleased woman is an incredibly attractive quality. Don’t allow others to tone down your joy.

The award-winning founder and creative disruptor, George Andriopoulos, knows what it takes to alchemize the self and not choose to be defined by his weaknesses and mistakes. Discover his inspiring journey of breakthroughs in this episode, The Alchemy of Leadership with George Andriopoulos.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ George Andriopoulos takes pride in being a father and a husband first before anything else. The CEO of Launchpad Five One Six shares how he had achieved more happiness and success when he did away with unhealthy competitions and focused on the things that mattered in life — personal well-being, family and relationships.
✔️ Balance is a balancing act. George imparts that it's the very definition of the word. It's going back and forth and making a conscious effort to accomplish your plans and purpose with limited time and energy. "Some days it works, some days it does. But as long as I keep putting the effort in to make it work as best as possible for my life, then I am, for the most part, staying in balance."
✔️ Be inimitable. Life is not just about wanting to be better than others but choosing to be distinct. We must make that mind shift as we're taught to compare ourselves to others constantly, instead of focusing on what is your unique thing and how to bring that out into the world regardless of what everybody else is doing.
✔️ Leadership happens in many facets and forms, and asking the right questions is vital. It takes a certain kind of humility to seek help and be open to asking from the expertise and experience of others. A true leader knows that there is much to be gained rather than lost. Putting aside ego and recognizing what others can offer is an underrated quality.
✔️ Learn from your mistakes and learn from other people's mistakes. AS humans, we are experiential learners, and the lessons become more valuable when we have gone through pain and hardships first-hand. George reminds us that we do not need to get cut to know the hurt and hit rock bottom to develop resilience and empathy for others.
George Andriopoulos is an established business executive, award-winning entrepreneur, keynote speaker and community leader with a fierce drive for success and a mission to bring global impact through his work. George is a proven veteran of the business world and has developed an outstanding track record of success in implementing strategies that elevate financial and cultural success organizations. After spending almost 10 years in high-level executive roles within the pharma industry, he began freelance consulting in 2011. While independently consulting for a Fortune 200 insurance company, George received multiple awards and accolades for cultivating sales and leadership training, which spring-boarded him in 2013 to founding Launchpad Five One Six, a boutique management consulting firm.

Sharing an important lesson I learned in the driveway can be best implemented in our lives and connections. Tune in to this new episode of the Relationship Alchemy — your Next Relationship Breakthrough Is Closer than You Think with Marie-Elizabeth Mali.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ There are no limited options; you just need to lift your head and adjust your view. How often do we pick up our heads from what's right in front of us and consider other ways to respond to our partner, somebody we're dating, or a family member?
✔️ Look for other ways to react to your partner than what you always do. It pays to pause first, take a look at the landscape before you respond to interactions with people close to you. It takes a conscious changing of a habitual pattern or automatic responses instead of squeezing into those tight spots in your relationships. It's time to leave old mindsets and habits behind that no longer serve you.
✔️ Your next relationship breakthrough might be closer than you think. How do we have conversations unfold that are generative and bring us closer together instead of driving us apart? Remember, the next time you respond to a loved one can be a make or break moment for you.

We need to change the narrative around what should happen when marriages end. In this episode, coach, speaker and author Susan Trumpler shares the trials and challenges of getting out of a 24-year marriage and how she made it possible to build a good relationship with her ex.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Susan shares her divorce story and how she managed the anger and challenging times for the first couple of years.
✔️ Why doesn't your relationship have to be a typical snipe at each other, "make them the enemy" kind of thing. So much generational and societal conditioning has contributed to this that it can become quite extraordinary to have the opposite experience.
✔️ Why doesn't she call him her ex-husband? Sarah shares, "that is so funny because, in the beginning, I did. I would refer to him as my ex-husband. But as the relationship grew back into a friendship, it felt disrespectful. It didn't feel like that word. When I would, we'd go somewhere, and I'd introduce him to someone. I didn't feel like that word represented our current relationship. I just started saying he was my wasband."
✔️ On why it's possible to be on good terms with your ex. "We didn't want to create that situation where our kids would say: 'Oh, I can't talk about Dad when I'm with Mom, and I can't talk about Mom when I'm at Dad's. Our relationship evolved into a place where we found a friendship again and could recreate our family unit. We spend all of our holidays together now."
✔️Change your mindset about marriage: it always takes two to have made it better. Susan reminds us that whatever the partner's behavior was, we have some ownership of the situation. It will take some time, but acceptance is needed to go from being wronged to acknowledging playing a part in what happened. "There's no benefit of holding on to that anger or holding on to blame. There's just no benefit."
✔️ Ultimately, you have to learn how to coach yourself. Identify what is the story and what is fact from the thoughts that you keep in your mind? The awareness of what's going on inside your mind is the total catalyst for you.
✔️ Susan is on a mission to stomp out the words "I hate sales" for women in business. "It's so funny how women entrepreneurs go into business so passionate about putting something out into the world, and then they find out, "Oh, no, I'm a salesperson". In her upcoming book, she teaches how to become someone who doesn't see sales as sleazy or pushy and embrace that it can be fun and an important profession of building connections.
Susan Trumpler, the founder of Unstoppable Women in Business, is an international speaker, coach, podcaster, and author of the upcoming book "Oh Shit, I'm in Sales" and "Entrepreneur's Guide to Making Sales Your BFF". She dedicates her time and efforts to eradicate the phrase "I hate sales" from the vocabulary of women business owners. The Success Collaborative - her flagship hybrid coaching program is her pride and joy. In the Collaborative, she focuses her time on co-creating customized Success Roadmaps for each member and then invites them into an intimate community of like-minded peers to implement their plans and watch their revenues soar.

It's the season of love and giving. But it’s also a season when our stress tends to affect how we relate to one another. When we get stressed out, we default into automated and unconscious patterns that don't generally serve us.
In this episode, I'm sharing a simple 3-step process to help you avoid going into those default patterns and approach the holidays differently this year. You’ll learn how to hack your mind in a new way so you can relate and stay more loving and connected with your loved ones through the season.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Learn to keep your peace and become stress-free by following these three steps:
First, NOTICE what it is. Stop and observe the tension that you are feeling.
Second, IDENTIFY it. How are you being affected by this stress? What are your emotions and thoughts?
Third, DISRUPT the pattern by tending to yourself. This may look like taking a bath, having a cup of tea, taking three breaths, walking around the block, dancing to your favorite song, calling a friend, meditating — do whatever feels accessible and supportive to you in the moment.
✔️ The last and best step is to do this is to enroll your partner or spouse to support you in being accountable and help you in your resolve. Pay attention to each of your states and help each other manage mental and emotional distress, so you can both stay positive throughout the season.

People seek many different spiritual paths to identify a means to fill in the sense of lack. Zen priest and Sensei Rev. angel Kyodo williams shared that it can be very surprising for many people to realize that community and finding a relationship with the divine are necessary, but what should not be forgotten is how to discover belonging is rooted in one's self.
Tune in and learn more about The Alchemy of Belonging with Rev. angel Kyodo williams.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Belonging is so critical to what it means to be a human being. Every day, people are put in a position where their sense of belonging is arbitrated by something and someone external to them. We threaten each other with belonging in our families, workspaces, communities, and countries.
✔️ Marie-Elizabeth’s growing up in three cultures: American, Venezuelan, and Swedish, speaking three languages, living in different places and feeling like an outsider in all of them. In my formative years, there was a constant chronic sense of not belonging in my own body. Until I figured out how to belong to myself, at a young age, I discovered that the answer was to look for belonging within, that is the antidote to the lack of belonging I felt outside.
✔️ We use things and people to fill that sense of emptiness when we don't have a fullness for ourselves. It can take the form of being clingy, needy or jealous in our relationships because we end up feeling that if we don't have that person reflecting at us at all times and in all the ways that we want to, we end up feeling empty.
✔️ Pulling away from life rather than going through it and its many pains often result in more detrimental results. It's critical to have a practice that allows us to build the capacity to tolerate the discomfort.
✔️ Relationships are contracts. When you begin to shift, you are breaking or renegotiating the contract with people. If the other person doesn't want to come along with the change and engage in their own growth, it's likely not going to work eventually.
✔️ As you become aware of how people and circumstances may have hurt you, it's important to practice forgiveness not just for them but for yourself. Only so can you liberate yourself from spinning, looping and feeling how you need to go back and fix everything because that's not always possible. And frankly, it's not always necessary.
✔️ Be willing to be curious enough to discover who you might want to be and to build the capacity to do the work to become that. Life is all about choices, so you have to be willing to face the truth of who you are and how you are in the world.
✔️ True liberation is letting life happen by choice. Rev. williams reminds us it's letting ourselves be truly present with life — letting life touch us, have moments of hurt, heartbreak and loss or dancing, joy and excitement rather than squelching ourselves.
✔️ Ground yourself in the now rather than looping back to the past. Everything that can happen in the future all situate themselves in the now. We can overcome fear and anxiety and manage to thrive and win.

Called "the most intriguing African-American Buddhist" by Library Journal, Rev. angel Kyodo williams was made for these times. She has been bridging the worlds of transformation and justice since her critically acclaimed book, Being Black: Zen and the Art of Living With Fearlessness and Grace was hailed as "an act of love" by Pulitzer Prize winner Alice Walker, and "a classic" by Buddhist pioneer Jack Kornfield.
Her work, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love & Liberation, ignites communities to have conversations necessary to become more awake and aware of what hinders the liberation of self and society. Rev. angel applies wisdom teachings, embodied practice, and is a leading voice for Transformative Social Change. She is known for her willingness to sit with and speak uncomfortable truths with love. Rev. angel notes, "Love and Justice are not two. Without inner change, there can be no outer change. Without collective change, no change matters".

I want to reframe the idea of "self-doubt" for you — instead of seeing it as a problem that needs to be fixed, look at it as evidence that you're stretching yourself beyond your comfort zone. The fact that you doubt yourself is a sign that you're on the edge of your growth, which is a great place to be.
However, you can take action so that when doubt comes, you can work more effectively with it when it arises so that it doesn't derail you.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Our brains are wired to notice what's wrong, what's not working, what we're scared of, & what might be dangerous to us. We still retain the primitive brain we had before we evolved into our more sophisticated frontal cortex capable of conscious thought and choice.
✔️ Train your brain to start noticing wins throughout the day.
What are your three wins today? Whether big or small, regularly celebrating your wins trains your brain to start noticing successes making you feel more confident, capable and worthy — all of which help your self-doubt get quieter.
✔️ Don't make your fulfillment in life depend on having that one massive goal. Your goals and desires may change, and you may not ever fully get there. Something unexpected might happen and blindside you, and you don't end up going in the original direction you expected to go in. Suppose you've denied yourself the experience of feeling successful each day and having daily fulfillment because everything is riding on that one massive goal. In that case, nothing will satisfy you until you reach that finish line.
✔️ The more trauma that's stuck in your system, the harder it is to avoid getting triggered. Take an active part in your healing. Do some trauma release work with a practitioner, do some embodiment work and learn how to be safe in your nervous system. Set yourself up for a completely different life from all the trauma and drama of the past, and you'll find to be more powerful and magnetic to bring those goals to you more effectively than if you're scraping and grinding and driving yourself.
✔️ Recognize self-doubt is a good sign that you're stretching yourself and retraining your brain by celebrating your wins. Stop being stuck on having to fix self-doubt because it no longer means that something's wrong with you. Celebrate its arrival as a sign that you're on the right track.

Inasmuch as you adhere to regular check-ins for work and business, international brand makeover expert and social media branding phenomenon Briana Dai recommends the same thing for marriage.
Every week, both spouses should ensure that communication is always open and that something that needs to improve or change is never missed. Learn How To Do A Relationship Check-In in this new episode of the Relationship Alchemy show.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Weekly check-ins should generally be in the spirit of growth, not complaining or starting an argument. How often do you take time to water your marriage? By simply talking about the things, the "stick outs" of the week — running through the positives and negatives will make miracles for a lasting union.
✔️ The power of appreciation. Getting started on that warm and fuzzy feeling of giving and accepting positive acknowledgment when communicating with your partner makes you more open-minded when there's a need to provide and receive harder feedback.
✔️ When telling your partner something you want to change, it's OK not to discuss that to death. Many couples stop talking to each other because the same conversation happens in a cycle of hurting each other with criticism and control.
✔️ Remember that each of you is a whole person with an entire life going on beyond being parents. Sharing the pieces outside of marriage and family life keeps you and your partner connected to each other's lived experiences.
✔️ Brianna recommends as her best resource is Growing Yourself Back Up by John Lee and Breńe Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection. "It was game-changing in terms of shifting through my pregnancy, becoming a different woman with changing wants, desires and even dislikes, and so do all yourself work to figure out how to eliminate or manage your toxic traits that we all inevitably have."

Do you find yourself complaining when your partner gets home too late every night from work? Or if they watch too much TV? What other aspects do you often fret or whine about?
In this episode, Learn how to Stop Complaining in Your Relationship and know what you can do to get you much better results and deepen your love and connection with your partner.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ When you have a complaint in your relationship, it's actually a veiled desire or unmet need. The key is to begin looking at the clues behind the complaint. What do you want or need that's not being met? It might be that you want to spend more time together. It might be that you want to feel like you're more of a priority.
✔️ If your partner is the one with more complaints, invite them to share their desire or unmet need with you when they complain to you. Doing so ultimately lifts and improve your relationship rather than the grumbling, resentments, distancing, and passive-aggressive little jabs and all the shenanigans we get into when we're not expressing what we want.
✔️ Respond positively when your loved one does something that feels good to you. If your partner says yes and follows through on giving you what you want — be grateful. Thank them, praise them, show up radiant and let them see how good it feels. Let them feel how much you enjoy it when they give it to you. In this way, it begins to create a positive feedback loop in their brain that spending time with you feels good and giving you what you want also feels good, and then they're more likely to do it next time.
✔️ When we're not really expressing what we want -- we're not getting what we want. Instead of leading with the complaint, which will usually make them get defensive and create more distance between you, let them know vulnerably and truthfully what you want instead. Leading with your desire in your relationship will elicit a much better response from your loved ones.

Every love story is unique, and so are the ways on how to stay in love. In this episode, international brand makeover expert and social media branding phenomenon Briana Dai lets us in on the lessons on what it's like to find love at 19 and the gifts, challenges and wisdom she has gained along the way.
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Young and in love. Briana shares how her husband has been a part of every chapter of her life and career since they got together from age 19. "We've managed to do a lot of growing up together and thankfully doing it together and not apart over the years."
✔️ Learn to break those toxic traits we bring into disagreements. Many people identify with how challenging it can be to fight or disagree in a productive and constructive way. It takes a conscious decision to learn to do that and know how to fight fair.
✔️ We water our plants on Tuesdays, and we water our marriage.
Briana emphasizes the importance of having a regular check-in time for couples. Set a day when you can pour into the marriage and have an intentional conversation. "It's the day that things get addressed so that they don't never get addressed. It's not just let me poo-poo on all the things you did that annoyed me or what you did wrong -- it's what did you do that meant a lot to me this past week or something that I would love more of?"
✔️ Becoming a parent brings physical, emotional and mental changes that affect marriages. "Everything we went through with postpartum depression is something not talked about much. Pregnancy is depicted as an amazing glowing period in time, which was not my experience, and it was kind of scary to go through that. That was a challenge and uncharted territory that we had to work through and overcome together."

Welcome to Relationship Alchemy! Learn how to strengthen your relationship by adapting these five essential habits. With each letter forming the word HABIT, it will be easy for you to remember and practice what I'm going to share with you today and achieve the delightful experience of discovering just how loved and supported you really are.
✔️ H - HOLD. If you hold your relationship as something important to you, you won't fall into that default of just letting it slide and then waking up one day and realizing, "Oh my God, we've grown apart; this isn't working." Stop letting your relationship be one of those things expecting it to be there when you get done chasing after all the other things you want. Having a thriving relationship at home sets you up to be more magnetic and powerful as you go out there and conquer the world. So it's worth holding as something important. Doing so will also help you follow through on the other four habits that I will teach you today more consistently.
✔️ A - ASK for what you want and stick around to negotiate. We often expect our partners to just kind of know what we want to read our minds, and then we're disappointed when they don't get it right. The best way to break that cycle? Start asking directly and clearly for what you want and stick around to negotiate a Win-Win solution. Asking for what you want is also a beautiful and vulnerable way to invite your partner to get to know you more deeply and give to you, creating more intimacy and connection between you and strengthening your relationship.
✔️ B - BOUNDARIES. I invite you to consider where you might be putting up walls in your relationship instead of showing your partner where the door is and ways that you might be trying to love someone else at a distance that doesn't allow you to love yourself at the same time. Once you're clear on what you've been doing and if your boundaries have been fuzzy in some way, then you can start to make small changes toward clarifying your boundaries, like saying no when you mean no. And yes, when you mean yes and letting people know their impact and how you best want to be loved.
✔️ I - INITIATE INTENTIONAL CONVERSATIONS. The habit of initiating intentional conversations is designed to nip small stuff in the bud so that it doesn't blow up into big misunderstandings down the road. And it's also designed to have you actively practice being vulnerable and open with one another regularly, which is where the juiciness and the connection lies.
✔️ T - TEAM. Choose to start from the default position that you're on the same team, and you're both looking to support one another. If you enter the conversation from the perspective that you have to fight to the death to win, you don't get heard otherwise. In this way, you can avert a lot of knockdowns, drag out massive fights and wreckage.

✔️ Cultivating wholeness is more about retrieving, alchemizing and integrating the parts of yourself that you previously disowned or learned to ignore so you could survive and get where you are today. Those same behaviors and beliefs that brought you here are not necessarily the same to get you where you want to go, which is why alchemy is necessary. Integration is necessary. Healing is necessary.
✔️ Our greatest growth happens in relationships with one another. You can be alone in a cave on the top of a mountain and think you have it all worked out, but get into a relationship with another human being who's not doing or saying what you want them to do. And let's see how enlightened you really are.
✔️ Our relationships reveal us to ourselves -- both from the glorious to the grotesque. That's great and can be a good thing. We need other people to help us see ourselves more clearly. So let's live that way and approach our relationships from this foundation of learning how to give and receive more love, partly by alchemizing what's been in the way of that and partly by learning how to have more relationship skills.
✔️ We tend to solve relationship problems with our heads, which is where the problems usually arise. The solution is found in coming into a deeper embodiment and connection with our heart's wisdom.
✔️ Focusing only on relationships symptoms without addressing the underlying terrain keeps you locked in repeating the symptoms because of the issues that caused them never get resolved. The five elements of Relationship Alchemy create a thriving terrain for your relationship and life when brought into harmony with one another.

Welcome to Relationship Alchemy! This introductory episode is dedicated to sharing with you the compelling story behind my life's work and how the science and wisdom of relationship alchemy will help change your life as it did mine!
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Contradictions and complexities of being human. Have you ever wondered how you could be so competent and skilled in some areas of your life and have a harder time of it in others? Maybe work comes easily to you, but your relationships are harder to sustain. Or your marriage works great, but you're having a hard time getting your business off the ground. Suppose you have no trouble motivating yourself when it comes to your business, but you struggle to maintain a regular exercise routine. Figuring out our complexities and allowing ourselves to BE -- will enable us to play full out and access flow more readily in every area of our lives.
✔️ We were taught nothing about relationships. In school, we were not taught how to relate to one another, and we were raised by imperfect people who didn't always model the best relationship skills. Plus, we internalize romantic and cliché ideas around relationships from movies and TV, so it's no wonder that it can be hard for us to create great connections in the real world. After my marriage ended, I decided to directly focus on learning how to do this relationship thing better.
✔️ Why I do what I do. I was raised between three cultures, American, Venezuelan and Swedish, speaking three languages by the age of three. While I learned to move fluidly between my three cultures, I also felt I never fully fit anywhere. It's precisely this inability to find full belonging in any one culture that created my fascination with understanding people and my drive to bridge the boundaries that typically keep us apart. It also drove me to start doing spiritual practices and pursuing personal growth while still a teenager. I entered a coaching program centered around relationships and sexuality in 2014. Out of that deep dive and study — Relationship Alchemy was born.
Today, I'm a Relationship Alchemist coach and TEDx speaker based in Los Angeles, New York and Mexico. I have a master's degree in traditional Chinese medicine and practiced acupuncture in biology before becoming a coach. I've been working with clients for over 20 years, and for the past six years, I've been coaching and teaching exclusively online over Zoom. I'm also a published poet with an MFA in poetry from Sarah Lawrence College and an underwater photographer who has a thing for sharks.
For over 30 years, I've been seeking to understand more deeply what makes us tick and how to alchemize and optimize our relationships with ourselves, our minds, bodies, each other and the world.
I'll be sharing my findings with you on this show, as well as interviewing guests who have amazing wisdom to share around relationships, leadership mindset and living a well-rounded life of your own design. I can help you alchemize what's been in the way of having not only the love you want in your life but also the inner peace, joy and clarity you deserve.
