In this episode I share transformative insights gained from a nonviolent communication workshop and books by Alison Armstrong.

Since watching a workshop on NVC by Marshall Rosenberg, I discovered the missing piece that causes so much pain, suffering, conflict and disharmony in relationships and the reason WHY we can’t seem to HEAR the other.

There is a deep PAIN that so many of us hold deep within ourselves, the pain of unmet needs that have been held and buried for much of our lives.

When we enter intimate relationships, often they trigger these deep unprocessed pains within us, this is an opportunity to heal and integrate but when we don’t have the tools it can prevent us from healing and thriving in relationships.

I also share my own journey through personal growth, inner conflicts, and relationship dynamics, particularly focusing on addressing deep-seated wounds and unmet needs and highlight how understanding and expressing needs compassionately can shift relationships.

We explore key topics include the patterns of emasculation, the impact of unmet needs, and strategies for healthier communication and requests in relationships.

Let’s dive in!

In this episode of the Good Girl Unleashed podcast, we delve into the intricacies of true love, relationships, and ego.

Monique explains common misconceptions about love and the role of the ego in blocking deep connections and intimacy.

Through personal experiences and insightful quotes, the discussion highlights how projections, unmet needs, and childhood wounds shape our relationship dynamics.

We explore the power of non-violent communication, self-awareness, and the importance of setting boundaries and we offer powerful ways to support you to reflect on your own relational patterns, explore your needs, and embrace self-compassion, this is where the magic is.

The episode also explores the concept of true love as selfless and unconditional, encouraging a shift from ego-driven desires to genuine acceptance and understanding.

Recently I listened to a podcast by Alex Harvey about the Death of Quick Fixes and I wanted to share this message with our community and share my experience with this...

In this episode I share with you what it ACTUALLY takes to get the transformation you are seeking, to bring you DESIRES to life and experience the abundance and MAGIC that is always available to you.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR MAGIC PILLS, there is work to be done that will allow you to bend time, quantum leap and experience true magic.

You will have to feel the uncomfortable, you will have to lean into the resistance, feel the unfelt emotions, express and INTEGRATE what has been buried inside... this is the portal to your dream life.

And the funny thing... you realise there was never any destination, you were always on an infinite never ending journey of discovery, play, experimentation, and magic.

The purpose of life >>> experience.

Human Design has been absolutely LIFE-CHANGING for me as well as for Liam and me in our relationship, we're more able to understand each other, we have more awareness around why we are the way we are, supporting a deeper understanding, respect, love and connection.

It has shifted the way we relate, communicate, and navigate life together, bringing more harmony, love and connection.

We met Erin last year at REVIVE Fest and have been delving deeper and deeper into Human Design, absolutely loving this journey and so excited to have Erin & Aaron joining us on the podcast for a deep dive into Human Design & Conscious Relationships.
