I LOVE the topic of relationships, in fact of all the coaching that I do, relationship coaching is the most powerful and fulfilling of all!

To be a guide to others and bare witness to radical transformation is blessing and a gift.

Today I revisit this topic in an interview I gave back in 2015 with one of my spiritual teachers Lisa Natoli.

Lisa Natoli is a minister, teacher and healer. She is the author of the best-selling book Gorgeous for God and founder of the 40-Day Program for Transformation, a free online program. She writes and teaches on the topics of transformation, healing and abundance. She is co-founder of the nonprofit organization Teachers of God Foundation which inspires, encourages and supports individuals to go through the transformation from fear to love. She co-hosts a weekly radio show on Unity Online Radio called Living in Joy/Reflections on A Course in Miracles that airs every Friday afternoon at 3pm EST.

In this episode, Giovanna welcomes Lisa Natoli to the show. Lisa is a minister, teacher and healer whose main focus is in the area of relationships—a harmonious relationship with one’s self, God, and with others. She opens up about her own broken history in relationships which led to her finding a partner in Jesus. Out of her commitment to her faith and the fullness of love that she found through forgiveness, Lisa was able to open herself up to a new relationship and express to herself what she really wanted. Tune in to find out the miracle of forgiveness, the importance of the Holy Spirit in relationships, and what can happen when you choose to love yourself and God first…

Today’s episode guest is Lisa Natoli

It’s important for people to relate to each other

Everything is relationships

“Love addiction” is a good thing

Giovanna finds that there’s a lot of confusion in relationships

It was a revelation for Giovanna to see and understand the element of give and take in relationships

Lisa lives a luxurious life in Christ and is totally in love with reckless abandon

Just like everybody else, Lisa came from relationships that didn’t work

Start with your relationship with yourself

Lisa believes everything is about prayer

The first step to having harmonious relationships is to have one with yourself and with God

Accept your new beginning and be willing to do the work

If God is not there, people tend to lean on another person to fulfill the need for love in us

The starting point is the moment you make a decision to have a new life

Most people think other people should change

Lisa’s first husband was incredible but when she looked at the marriage, she really didn’t feel complete

When they got a divorce, Lisa said she’d never be in a relationship anymore

Summer 2010, Lisa felt deep in her heart that she did want a relationship but thought it wouldn’t work out for her anymore

Ask for what you want in your heart

Lisa believed she had the most amazing partner ever – Jesus

She immediately changed and started taking care of herself

She loved her life and then a relationship came – she fell in love with her 2nd husband, Bill

Come to a place of wholeness and completion; to a place where you are full of love

Don’t wait for a partner to feel complete

Draw your circle, stand in it, and let everything come to you

The training that leads to transformation is to allow the blocks and obstacles to come into full awareness

The real work is finding the points of depression, anger, and fear and dissolving it into forgiveness

Remember the truth

Ego Love vs. Love of God

A Course in Miracles is really a course on how to forgive

The Mystical Third

The first point of change is inviting the Holy Spirit in

Open your mind and allow yourself to have experience with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit

Lisa shares about conflict between herself and her mother over a ring

Giovanna introduces Bill, Lisa’s husband
