Doing Relationships Right

Today, we've got the incredible Samantha Gambino. She is the founder of Strong + Mindful LLC, a woman-led consulting agency dedicated to building mental wellness in the face of stress and challenges. Samantha is a licensed psychologist and wellness expert with over 20 years of experience.

Like me, Samantha has made a career by helping people; supporting them with their mental and physical health. We dive into the importance of setting boundaries, being empathetic, and communicating effectively.

"Setting boundaries is a form of self-care." ~Samantha Gambino

Today's conversation highlights that setting boundaries is a form of self-care, so skip the massage today and tune into this episode! (Not that a massage isn't a fantastic way to feel great!) Ha!

Thank you, Dr. Samantha, for joining me and sharing your insight.

I adore you; this conversation has so much outstanding advice.

Peace, love, and truth,

His therapeutic career started at a crisis line, where he worked with people suffering from suicidal thoughts and severe anxiety.

"You can’t say the wrong thing to the right person." ~ Therapy Jeff

As Jeff explains in today's episode, "If you think someone you’re dating thinks you’re insecure or needy, show them that side of you and give them the opportunity to walk away so you can find somebody who will actually meet those needs." 

I am overly excited (if you can’t tell) to have Jeff on my podcast today. I am a huge fan of his content and can’t believe we got to chat. This episode is worth sharing!

Peace, love, and truth,

Ethical non-monogamy… what exactly is it? How does it work? Is it possible to stay in such an arrangement for a long time?

In this episode, I have invited my good friend, Podcaster and Host of Sadie's Divorced and Happy podcast to talk about ENM or ethical non-monogamy, how it works, and how you can figure out if this is something for you.

Since her divorce, Sadie Marie recognizes more than ever the value of being fierce in determination, desire, and, most of all, self-love. She's also learned to put her focus on being relentless and resilient in pursuing happiness for herself and her family. With this podcast, she welcomes the opportunity to share her insights and ideas as well and learn from her listeners and guests.
