Relationships are hard, there’s no doubt about that – especially romantic relationships. The reality we face is that divorce rates are growing globally. In the U.S., according to worldpopulationreview.com, 50% of marriages end in divorce, 60% of second marriages end in divorce, and 73% of third marriages end in divorce. If we want, healthy and thriving relationships, there are red flags and even white flags to pay attention to. In this episode, Coach Dez addresses narcissism, gaslighting, guilt-tripping, co-dependency, complacency, disconnection, jealousy, imbalance, misalignment, and insecurity. If you are in a relationship that you know is unhealthy and you need support (or know someone who is), seek help. Talk to a professional like a therapist or relationship expert. Don’t stay in an unhealthy relationship out of fear or convenience. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

For the next six weeks on Wednesdays, Life Coach Tracy Pleschourt Coaches Dez live on the podcast show. Yes, even coaches need coaching! This is an opportunity for you to see Dez get vulnerable on matters and topics she is processing in her own life. In today’s session Dez talks about her fears of writing her first book. One of her core fears is hurting people through telling her personal story in the book. Coach Tracy beautifully walks Dez through how her fearful thought is coming from her primitive brain and what happens when she shifts to the thoughts in her prodigy brain. Thoughts are powerful things that can hold us back from living in abundance and joy, but the good news is that we can change them. Are there fears holding you back in life right now? Tune in. You will learn about how to shift your thoughts so you can take meaningful action toward what you desire.

While feeling good on the outside makes us feel confident, true confidence comes from within. In this episode, Coach Dez talks about the environmental factors that influence our confidence and what we can do to build our confidence up. Not comparing ourselves to others, spending quality time getting in touch with who we really are, using positive daily affirmations, setting a vision and goals, and surrounding ourselves with people who uplift us are things consider. Doing the inner work helps us to show up in the world as better versions of ourselves that remain confident even in times of adversity or ambiguity.

Or we can choose consciously what we believe and the path we want to pursue. Possibilities are abundant. In this episode, serial entrepreneur, business mentor, and author, Simone Milasas shares her astounding journey of choosing joy in business.
