In today's topical content episode, I have the pleasure of sharing the microphone with Julie Migneault. You may remember Julie from Season 1, Episode 55. She is best known for catalyzing leaders into their next level of growth, personal fulfillment and contribution, and she can be found at www.LiveFierceLove.com.

While today's general topic is Relationship Dynamics, we delve deepest into the following areas:

• How your healthy "No" can lead you to a better relationship
• How to stop demanding to get what you actually need (distinguishing a "need" from a "want")
• How an inner inquiry can help you find your authentic "no"... or "yes"
• How to trust your intuition
• What is a withhold and when is it important to let it out

Do you have an incident when you overrode your "no" and suffered some consequences? Are you harboring a withhold that is keeping you from a deeper connection in relationship? I hope that you'll share with us your thoughts about today's episode by posting comments in the section below or start a conversation on our Facebook page. We'd love to hear from you.

Today's guest is Elsie Escobar. Elsie was born in El Salvador and moved to the US with her family when she was 9 years old. As a child, she loved all types of physical activities and would push herself as hard as she could; however she left athletics behind when she went to college and studied theater.

After getting her undergraduate degree, she was accepted to the National Theater Conservatory in Denver, and spent 3 years there, where she began to live an empowered life. It was there that Elsie started to find her real voice. She also found strength in her body again, as she was introduced to yoga. It helped to both soften and center her while providing her with the tools that she needed to focus.

After graduating from the National Theater Conservatory, Elsie pursued a career as a Hollywood actress, for a while before making her way back to Yoga. Her first 'teacher' Naime Jezzeny, introduced her to Anusara Yoga, which is the yoga that she continues to study and teach today.

And, adding a unique touch to her yoga stylings, Elsie also hosts a series of yoga podcasts, Elsie's Yoga Class: Live and Unplugged.

You can find her at www.ElsieEscobar.com.

In today's episode, your host, Michael Neeley, talks about the differences between being attached to an outcome or result versus being committed to it.

The distinction between the two can be subtle while producing vastly different experiences. When one becomes familiar with this distinction and then makes a conscious choice, the freedom therein can be expansive.

What are your thoughts on attachment vs. commitment? Please join in on the conversation by leaving comments on our Facebook page or in the comment section below.
