    Welcome back to another episode of Bedtalks. 
    This episode is an enlightening one for all of the right reasons. Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick's specialty is helping those in relationships navigate, understand and reframe their attachment style and deal with their past traumas. We are having a candid conversation about what couples need to do in their relationships to bridge the gap to understand one another better. 
    Dr. Fedrick discusses emotional intimacy, how past traumas play out in your relationships and how you develop core beliefs that can easily become reinforced. But, more importantly, she provides techniques for overcoming them when they are detrimental to your relationship. She also talks about the 3 W’s to help you during times of conflict, and tension. 
    I promise you will walk away with greater self-awareness, empathy, and a better understanding of yourself and your relationship with yourself and others. Listen in and let me know what you think. If you want to learn more about Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick's practice, click here.

    Hey Y'All

    Welcome back to this week's episode of Bedtalks. We are getting down and dirty in this episode, exploring Sexual Intimacy 101 with Candace Johnson, the founder of Gooshy Candy, and creator of the Touchy/Feely intimacy game card. Candace opens up freely with us about her experiences which shaped her sexual understanding, growth, and discovery.

    Candace shifted her career as a Television News Producer of a highly popular program in Philadelphia to follow her heart, intuition, and spirit in launching this endeavor to help people learn how to connect with one another. She has worked with many diverse types of couples, those in the early phases of a relationship, those in long-term relationships, those who have lost their mojo, and those seeking to understand their sexual identity. She created the Touchy/Feely intimacy game card to help couples who struggle to express their sexual needs to one another in an open and transparent way. Candace has had her own journey too! She has explored many types of relationships and figured out what is the connective force that can bridge the sexual education gap between two people in a relationship.

    K & I speak with Alex Schelling, a Life and Relationship Coach whose moniker on Instagram is Toolboxforlove 
    We learned so much during our discussion with Alex. As she wisely states, "Love is important, but it's not enough." There are key components to building a happy, satisfying and rewarding relationship and there is some work that has to be done to make that happen! 
    We touch on best practices of communicating through tricky and touchy topics. 
    We discuss the common blind spots that couples and individuals encounter. 
    What happens when you love someone, and you are not receiving the same in return, or it's not going anywhere. We go there too!
    Relationships can be happy and fulfilling, but they can be nearly impossible to achieve if you keep making the same missteps over and over again.

    Hey Y'All-

    We're back with Dr. Marcus Mason of Minds in Motion Therapy. As you may recall, Dr. Mason has a philosophy of combining mind and motion together to help you manage the challenges life inevitably brings while balancing out your mental health.

    • How you can determine what topics are most helpful and useful to you for your mental health and navigating relationships
    • How men and women can get on the same page so we have more rewarding relationships
    • Why everyone doesn't need a mic and why some messages we may be receiving are blurred

    • Anxiety relievers

      We're kicking it off getting right into it with our guests Stacey Sherrell and Rachel Facio of Decoding Couples.

      There is a ton of relationship advice out there. And that's why it's even more important that we bring you practical tools, tactics, and strategies that really work.

Stacy is also certified in EDMR for trauma work, and Rachel in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).
