FLAUNT! Create a Life You Love After Infidelity or Betrayal

Have you ever tossed and turned all night,, thinking about all the dumb things you’ve done your entire life? Regretting things that you did or said – or did not do or say, when you should have spoken up.

Regret, like any negative emotion, is painful, scary, and feels like it can take us down permanently. But it is essential to feel your negative emotions fully, because it is only through the pain that we can heal and grow.

While this is a somewhat somber show that raises more questions than it answers, that is exactly the point. Grief, pain, and regret are not linear or simple. Feelings do not “happen” on cue or according to any particular timeline.

Top Take-a-ways:

• Feeling regret, shame, grief, or any negative emotion reminds us of our imperfection, of our fragile, vulnerable nature, and is scary. It’s OK to be scared and to feel helpless. Humans, we are fragile and helpless… But we’re all in it together!

Have you ever looked at your child, partner, or friend and been filled with love because you could see both their inner and their external beauty? When was the last time you looked at yourself and felt that same way? If you are anything like most women, you dread having your picture taken and the conversation you most often have with yourself is in regard to your shortcomings. What would it be like to see yourself as those you love see you? To fall in love with yourself exactly as you are – not as you think you should be.

In this show Lora shares her story of having a boudoir photo shoot, and how it changed the way she felt about herself. And Julie Ulstrup, photographer and TedX speakers, shares her experience from the other side of the lens.

Top Take-a-ways:

• The power of being seen as you are, not as you think you should be.

Born in the City of Angels, raised in the Windy City, Julie now calls the foothills of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains home. Her studio locations in Northern Colorado and Southern California are where she shares her dream of creating boudoir, headshots and business branding photographs that bring the beauty inside out, allowing others to see themselves in their most authentic and vulnerable light, so that you can have an impact in the world. Julie captures not just an image, but the soul.

As an empowerment photographer Julie helps her clients to see themselves in a way they have never seen themselves before.  Julie inspires women to celebrate themselves exactly where they are.

Her passion is and always has been to empower women; because she believes empowered women make the world a better place.

Sexy is a provocative word with a lot of baggage. Most women simultaneously want to be sexy and are terrified of being sexy. Being sexy means living a life of attraction – your attraction towards things you love, not other people being attracted to you because you look like an airbrushed magazine cover – and arousal, which is your connection to and enjoyment of your own senses. You will learn how to define and embrace your sexy and loosen your fears of judgment around being sexy.

Top Take-a-ways:

• What it really means to be sexy and why embracing your sexy leads to a life of pleasure, joy, and enthusiasm.

For many people, being in a relationship is the end goal. But having a relationship and having a happy relationship are two entirely different things! Relationships take work. They take introspection, understanding, time, energy, and a whole lot of self-care.  

In today’s episode you will learn what to do to find and keep the kind of love that you desire.  

Top Take-A-Ways: 

Why the best way to find, maintain, or revive a love relationship is to take care of yourself first.   

The importance of sex, honesty, and clear non-negotiables in relationships, and how to renegotiate the terms of your relationship at any time. 

What analyzing the amount of energy, joy, and passion you bring to other areas of your life will tell you about the success or failure rate of your romantic relationships. 

Sam and Patrick have been married for twenty-five years and they would tell you they are one of the happiest couples they know. But they weren’t always this happy. After ten years of marriage, they signed the divorce papers. During the first ten years of their marriage, they struggled through like most people do: trying to navigate life together without any real tools, realizing they were in many ways opposites, fighting often, having sex less and less, distrust and jealousy rearing their ugly heads, and what they believed was falling out of love. They were under tremendous pressure, as many families are these days, raising their two children and each of them pursuing their rigorous careers. After a year apart, against all odds, they decided to get back together. Since then they’ve grown their love, their bond, and created an amazing life together. They became students of love and they never looked back. Eventually all they had experienced and learned culminated into a book, Marriage: From Miserable to Magnificent. How to Keep the Love of Your Life for the Rest of Your Life (available on Amazon). They also have a Podcast: The Not So Perfect Couple Podcast where they share experiences and interview guests that help keep relationships moving forward.  Most recently Sam gave a TEDx talk called, “Sex: The New Wonder Drug” that can be seen on Youtube, the TED website Sex: The New Wonder Drug | Sam Cullinane | TEDxNormal  or on their website www.Biggerlove.com. 

Patrick Cullinane is a serial entrepreneur who has started and sold multiple businesses and developed several software applications in the logistics and supply chain industries. His newest project is a company called Zipi which develops software and services in the real estate space. 

Patrick also serves on the board of 1Life Fully Lived, a non-profit geared towards helping young people find their passion through the entrepreneurial spirit and to dream, plan and live their best lives.  

Sam Cullinane began her career climbing corporate ladders to achieve the rank of Chief of Staff to the President of an international five-billion-dollar company. Eventually, she also took to entrepreneurial endeavors – starting a few businesses, serving as CFO to multiple corporations, and then joining Patrick. Now they build businesses together. Sam is a songwriter, recording artist with an album on iTunes (Band Name: Sol y Momma Album: Searchlights), and she also runs a successful women's mastermind called Symmetry7.
