Amazing Relationships with Kim Wilson

When the word ‘prosperity’ is used, we often think about monetary success or abundance. What comes to your mind when “Relationship Prosperity” is mentioned? If we don’t have relationship prosperity, what do we have? Relationship problems! Problems arise when needs are not met. Because of past hurts, we often enter relationships subconsciously looking for healing (listen to episode 98 where I address understanding emotional baggage in relationships). Ultimately, we want love. Love that offers affirmation, acceptance, appreciation, patience and compassion, which is my perspective of relationship prosperity. If you associated money with relationship prosperity, please know, wealth is not enough to sustain relationships. The wealthy get divorced or separated every day. I truly believe, Former President Jimmy Carter and Mrs. Rosalynn Carter completed 77 years of marriage because of relationship prosperity. In this episode, I offer 5 strategies for developing Relationship Prosperity, which can be used in personal and professional relationships.

In this week’s episode, we delve into the topic of reigniting old flames of our past. In other words, getting back with the ex! The thought of second chances can be alluring and irresistible. During the holiday season, our mind can easily take a stroll down memory lane where nostalgia awaits with open arms. May this episode serve as a guide in deciding to ignite a past passion or allow the flame to burn out.

As the holiday season approaches, many of us are eagerly anticipating those special moments with family. To keep it ALL THE WAY real, some are not and really would like to bypass the turkey and mistletoe! For many people, the holidays are about connection, laughter, and creating memories that last a lifetime. I love creating safe spaces all year round. Festive occasions can start out really great and take an abrupt turn if someone is not using emotional intelligence.  In this episode, I’m offering 5 tips for creating a mindful family gathering. I do this in under 10 minutes!  As always, this one is for you.

We all carry experiences from our past—some that shape us positively and others that weigh us down. Whether you find yourself in the embrace of a long-term partnership, navigating the unpredictable waters of dating or simply curious about the intricate dance of maintaining relationships, this episode offers insight to how our emotional landscapes are shaped. I'm delving into a topic that touches the core of our interpersonal dynamics: understanding emotional baggage. The intention is to not only recognize the weight we carry, but to discover the tools and strategies that can lead to healthier connections. As always, this one if for you.

We often talk about being aware of “red flags” when it comes to relationships. What if we train our brain to identify the green flags? The green flags are healthy behaviors and attitudes that serve as indicators of possible relationship success. In this episode, we’re identifying seven green flags to look for in relationships. This information is good before starting a new relationship and maintaining current relationships.

Life always provides a framework or assigns a guide to help us be our best. Whitney Houston’s infamous song, “Greatest Love of All,” offers a framework for developing strong relationships with children. She sang:

I believe the children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

In childhood, kids are expected to have some basic needs met.  Some of those needs include: food/water, shelter, clothing, protection, love. When needs are unmet, it opens the door to toxic relationships. Meeting basic needs helps with developing secure attachments with children. Home is the first classroom where a child learns. They observe how their parents/caregivers speak, behave, discipline, love, etc. Essentially, they have a front row seat to how the adults in their life execute parenthood. The combination of childhood and parenthood, impacts the journey to building relationships in adulthood. This episode offers strategies for developing healthy relationships with children. Since children are our future, we must get the task of loving them correct. Children are constantly observing adults: parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, authority figures. Just like Whitney sang, we must teach them well and let them lead the way. 

Confidence is one of the best accessories you can wear. I often say, confidence has been my saving grace as a human being. One of my favorite quotes is by James Clear:

"Lack of confidence kills more dreams than lack of ability."

Confidence is a feeling, belief, mindset and characteristic. Confidence is your belief in yourself, your abilities or in someone else. It can be how we show up in rooms, conversations and relationships. When confidence is missing, we may experience:

-Self-doubt

-Imposter syndrome

-Fear of trying something new

-Difficulty accepting compliments

-Insecurity

Confident people can also disconnect from their confidence. Here’s the amazing part…confidence can be learned and restored! In this episode, I share 5 ways to build and restore confidence.

Have you ever felt unsatisfied? Picture this…you found a new restaurant online. You perused the menu and made the decision to visit the restaurant. You spend your time traveling to the restaurant. You order. The food comes out. It looks amazing. However, it tastes awful! It wasn’t what you expected. You don't say anything to the server or manager. You pay and leave. The whole way home, you feel disappointed because you did not get what you wanted. You feel unfulfilled. Feeling unfulfilled can feel like:

• Dissatisfaction
• Discontent
• Disappointment
• Emptiness
• Feeling like something is missing
• Lacking a sense of accomplishment or purpose in life

There are many reasons why relationships don't work out - poor communication, intimacy dissatisfaction, infidelity, loss of trust and a variety of other reasons can be the cause. People change and so do feelings. When relationships break down, it can feel like life is falling apart. However, there is hope. I believe, breakups are breakthroughs in disguise. We can be intentional about designing our healing. in under 15 minutes, I offer 3 strategies for when it feels like life is falling apart. This episode includes a complimentary self-care tool to help with designing your happiness. It offers 30-days worth of focusing on positivity. Focusing on the present is a huge part of the healing process. Looking backwards and digging around in the past can be absolutely exhausting. As always, this one is for you. Onwards & upwards!
