Dr. Marissa does her first follow-up call in show with Stacie from North Carolina and Lynn from Washington DC. Six months ago Stacie was heading out for a new relationship and a new life and calls in when things are not as expected. Dr. Marissa smog checks some of her perfectionistic BS belief systems around relationships and marriage, and talks about how her happiness has nothing to do with her new man and more about her relationship to herself in her new environment. Balance tools of INTBOAD (it's not that big of a deal) and reframing her expectations helps her see the new situation with more rose-colored glasses. Lynn also requires a tune-up with respect to wanting to be in a relationship and how she is currently looking at her dating as a chore instead of a blessing. Balance tools include staying with how things feel right now in the present moment! Episode sponsored by www.ConversationsBouttheGirls.com and www.4Balance.org
