Get ready for some tough love, my friend. This week I get a little fired up when talking about relationships and who's responsibility it is to make us happy. We spend so much of our time trying to control the world around us in order to feel the way we want to feel when in reality the only thing that can make us feel anything is our own brain.
I am going to share some examples from my own relationship, where these issues have shown up in the past and how everything has changed for me since I let go of the idea that my boyfriend needs to make me feel happy and loved. That is simply not his responsibility.
I also talk about my 8-week coaching program called The Girlfriend Glow-Up which is now open for enrollment! There are only 8 spots left for the October round, so if you're ready to completely change your way of thinking and feeling, click the link below and apply today!

What exactly is the difference between experiencing pain and suffering? In this week's episode, I talk about physical pain, emotional pain, and the suffering we cause ourselves through the stories we tell about the pain we experience.
You might have heard the saying that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. And that is what we are going to dive into this week. I will give you plenty of examples and some journaling prompts for you to explore your own pain points in life where you think reality should be different than it is.
When we argue with reality we lose 100% of the time.

This week's episode is a little different compared to my other ones. I wanted to talk about coaching and what it's all about. What is it like to work with a coach? What's my job as your coach? All these things are covered today!
I also share my chosen direction for my coaching business, who my client is, and why I have chosen to work with her specifically. If you think coaching sounds like a good option for you, don't hesitate to reach out to a coach that resonates with you. Pick a coach that is specialized in the area you're currently struggling with. It can be completely life-changing!

This is one of my absolute favorite topics to think about and talk about right now. The fact that circumstances are neutral as they exist in the world. but as soon as they enter your mind they will no longer be neutral, even if you think they are. Something can be factual and circumstantial but as soon as you think about it, it will generate an emotion in your body. SO fascinating!
I have spent a lot of time recently thinking a semi-factual thought that I've just thought "is true". Well, turns out it's not harmless to think about just because it can be considered a fact. And even if it, in my case, isn't necessarily harmful, doesn't mean it's useful or productive either! It actually held me back without me even knowing it.
I'm very excited for you to listen to this episode!

Trigger warning! In this episode, I will mention sexual harassment and abuse. Nothing graphic or detailed, but I just wanted to let you know ahead of time.
Today we are going to talk about free will, choice, options, and how to apply our ability to choose in any situation. We will talk about why it's so disempowering to think that you don't have options when you do, and the fact that there are extremely few things adult human beings have to do in life. Naturally, there will be consequences of our actions regardless of what we choose... but that does not take away our right!
This information can then be applied to your relationships. Are you exercising your right to choose how to think, feel, and act? And are you allowing your partner to exercise their right to do the same? Perhaps this is a topic you want to explore further. In that case, I have created a 5-Day Challenge for anyone who wants to become more aware of what free will looks like with their partner!

When we say that our heart wants one thing but our brain wants another, or we intellectually believe something to be true but it doesn't feel true in our hearts... what is it we are really saying? Does our heart really have the ability to think for itself? Is the heart even involved in creating any kind of emotion in our bodies?
In this week's episode, I go to the bottom of this eternal war between the heart and the brain. I will give you some questions to journal about and take into consideration for you to sort it out as well. What do you really feel when your heart wants something, and how does it differ from the feeling you get when your brain wants something? What is mutually exclusive between the two?

In all relationships, we have very clear expectations that we want the other person to live up to. They might be individual, cultural, or societal. There are just things you do and things you don't do and that's that. We almost never question why we believe these things. And a lot of the time it leads to us trying to control the other person so that we can feel better in the relationship.
In this week's episode, I share some of the most powerful work I have done so far when it comes to my personal development. It has improved almost all the relationships in my life and all it really took was for me to stop trying to control the other person so that I can feel better. Sounds simple, right? Well, it kinda is. But also kinda isn't.
Tune in to this episode to find out exactly how to let go of your own manual for the people in your life, and what tools to use in order to still look out for yourself and decide from a place of love and compassion what you are okay with and what you aren't. Boundaries never come from a place of trying to control the other person.

Welcome to the first episode of Guided Coaching. In this episode, you will be guided through a journey of allowing an emotion in order to process it all the way through. You can do this exercise when you are struggling with a specific emotion or when you just want some practice feeling what you're feeling in your body.
Really take some time to think about the questions I ask and focus your attention on where you feel the emotion in your body. Your body's initial reaction might be to tense up and try to flee, that's okay. Just gently bring yourself back.
Make sure you are in a safe space while listening to this Guided Coaching track and make sure you're not operating any heavy machinery.

When you feel something, are you aware if you are resisting, reacting to, avoiding, or allowing that emotion? Do you know where the emotion comes from and how to generate a different one? This is what I will teach you in this week's episode!
Emotions are patient. They wait for us and they don't just go away because we ignore them for long enough. The most productive way to process emotion is to feel it. Allow it to be there. Don't immediately reject it or try to feel better.
Towards the end of this episode, I will guide you through one way of processing emotion. We will focus on it and feel it. Narrate what's going on in your body. This part of the episode is available as a bonus episode as well so you can refer back to it at any time.
