Hi Survivor to Thrivers, 

This month is Domestic Violence Awareness month or Sexual Violence Awareness month depending where you are in the world. 

This is the first episode for Season 4 2021, Survivor to Thriver podcast. 

I wanted to kick this off this LOVE BOMBING.
So many of us have experienced this as domestic violence survivors and victims.

1. Extravagant Gifts & Gestures
2. Over the top compliments 
3. Excessive communication 
4. Constant attention on them 
5. Demand commitment 
6. Resist your boundaries 
7. Make soul mate claims 
8. Say I love you real quick
9. Saying what you want to hear 
10. Making them feel like they are saving you 
11. Putting you on a pedestal
12. Make promises about the future
13. Move too fast 
14. Too good to be true feeling 
15. Bring up the bad times and how lucky you are to have them 
16. Want labels real quick 
17. Really needy because they "love you so much"
18. Different when in groups "you are their world"
19. Love everything you love 
20. All of sudden do everything you have nagged about to keep you 

I know I have experienced most of these love bombing techniques and I want to make sure you're aware of these signs as well. Together we can learn from each others experiences and educate ourselves more.

Ohhh heeeyyyy Survivor to Thrivers!

This is the last episode for season 3 2021!!! 

This week's episode is all about SPIRITUAL AWAKENINGS...

Too often, most of us are going through this spiritual awakening trying to find a deeper meaning to life, searching for answers, feel lost, regaining perspective and questioning everything in life. 

I have been through massive and multiple spiritual awakenings in my life time and I want to share my experience with you also, as I am sure most of you have gone through something similar. 

Key things we cover are: 

• What is a spiritual awakening?
• What are the 7 stages to a spiritual awakening?

Oh heeyyyy Survivor to Thrivers!

This week's episode is all about EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE... 

Did you know that less that 15% of the world's population is in fact not self aware...

That is not a lot of people that are aware of who they are, why they do what they do and can't truly understand and see this in other people. 

I believe EQ is much more important than IQ. In fact, it has been my EQ that has made me successful and allowed me to understand who I am and what I want in my life!

Key things we discuss are: 

• What is Emotional Intelligence aka EQ
• What are the 4 pillars to Emotional Intelligence 
• Signs you are Emotionally Intelligent 

This episode will be another tool for your tool kit on your personal development journey.
Remember to just stop surviving and start thriving!

Oh heeyyyyy, 

This week's episode I am talking with one of my girls Elle all about friendships coming and going, marriage separations, breaking up with baby daddy's and so much more. 

Really this episode will make you feel as if you are part of the coffee chat. I promise you this was a scheduled podcast not a random "hey let's record our catch up". 

This is real, raw, honest and uncut. No editing. This is how the conversation went... 

Key things we talk about are: 

• Our story of how we met and how we fell apart 
• Managing toxic friends 
• Experiences with friends coming and going in our lives 
• Finding people that have strengths to your weaknesses 
• Signs you need to cut the friendship 
• Besties changing in your life time 
• Elle marriage separation experience 
• My baby daddy separation experience

These topics are so relevant these days as many of us reevaluate friendships and romantic relationships all the time, especially in covid lockdown.

Hi empowering queeens, 

This week I wanted to share with you 10 bits of advice for when you are at rock bottom. 

We have all been there. Some of us may be still there, and some of us have got through the darkness and can see the light again.

I have been at rock bottom. My rock bottom was when I was in my domestic violent relationship... the pain I felt... I felt so lost, alone, depressed, anxious, I had no respect for myself, my body etc.... I was giving up... 

As someone who is 4 years free from DV now... I want to share with you some wisdom, advice and guidance that you may need to hear when you are at rock bottom.
