Bedtalks

"Even with good communication, a relationship may not work." In this week's Bedtalks podcast, we speak with Break up Coach, Natalia Juarez. I like this quote because we are often told if you have good communication with someone you have a chance to make the relationship work.

Here's the truth of the matter. Even with great communication, it doesn't guarantee you and the other person in your relationship are meant to be together. K & I explore this topic with Natalia Juarez a nationally recognized Break up Coach.

We discuss the following:

-How do you know if you should stay or leave a relationship?

-How does your attachment style affect how you connect/disconnect from a relationship?

-Compatibility based dating and how this can shift the relationships you choose

-How time + action heals wounds

-The danger of the one-sided relationship

"Iron sharpens iron," is a commonly known phrase. But, often when the sharpening happens between two people in a relationship, inevitably one party may feel like ending or exiting the relationship. The hard truth about relationships is that when two people come together with their own individual standards, it can be difficult to learn how to bring those standards together to create a long-lasting partnership.

When a relationship is highly weighted on one individual versus the couple collectively, this imbalance can create some significant challenges in the relationship in the long term. However, when you know what is likely to happen and how you can navigate these things proactively, you can shift your perspective and learn how to embrace and work through these moments.

The hard truth about relationships is a lot of inner work has to happen in order for you to be steady in a relationship. Without doing this inner work, it's likely you will experience similar cycles following you in your other relationships. This is one of the reasons why we were excited to speak with Antwain Jackson.

Antwain Jackson is many things, a Pastor, Leader in his community, Speaker, Author of the Creative Leader Book, and someone who counsels many single and married individuals on dating, love, and relationships. His authenticity, raw honesty, and ability to say what others have shied away from saying made for an interesting conversation.

K & I thoroughly enjoyed this eye-opening conversation and we think you will too!

Hi Y'All-

We're thrilled to be talking to Danai Maraire. Danai is a well-respected couples coach. She works with everyday couples like you and me as well as celebrity clients too. Denai feels her calling to help others navigate their relationships is tied to the meaning of her name. Her name means "to love each other."

Many are running from love while trying to find it at the same time. At the same time, others tend to self-sabotage their relationships. Fear around surrendering to vulnerability, while not recognizing the possibility for love stops many from the journey to connect with another person in a meaningful way.  While a lack of trust, fear of being open, and a belief system that vulnerability is a weakness are the culprits, there are ways to flip these so that you shift your relationship trajectory. On the other side of learning how to navigate and explore these feelings are true connection and intimacy when you are in the right relationship.

Danai, myself, and K explore this during this bedtalks episode. Listen in as we explore the thing that many of us are running from is the thing that we may need the most.

Hey Everyone-

We're back with another podcast talking about the importance of human connection. While we have even more ways to connect with others, strangely with access to all of these avenues to connect, many of us are still left looking and craving connection.

Thomas Knox is trying to change the way you relate to others, one person at a time. Thomas is known as the "The Connection Curator." He set up a sign in the subway in NYC that stated, "Date while you wait," to get people talking to another. Through these experiences of talking to others, Thomas has learned a lot about others and realized that our differences don't mean we aren't relatable.

Thomas is leading a social initiative to get people back to talking to one another and having real face-to-face conversations. He shares his experiences, which will surprise you about what's on everyone's mind.

Discussing sex & intimacy is often viewed as being taboo. But, it shouldn't be. Here is where Cain the Joy Coach enters the room. As a Sex and Intimacy Expert, Cain is not afraid to discuss any topic related to sex and intimacy, because her viewpoint is the more we become educated around sex and intimacy, the more informed we can be about our decisions, and understanding of this maybe not so taboo topic.
