Hi there badass Woman!!

In today's podcast episode, I have Ashley Badman. Ash is a ex-police officer from Australia who is now a mindset coach who uses the science of psychology to help her clients think better, feel better, and be better by honing in on building resilience, mental strength, and compassion. Fun fact: Ash will go broke for a daily iced latte.

In this podcast episode, Ash shares her transformational journey from a toxic relationship with her children's father to a healthy, aligned relationship with her current partner. Ash delves into the impact of her past, including childhood trauma and toxic relationships, on her self-worth and personal growth. She discusses her healing process, which involved self-awareness, regulating her nervous system, and mindset work. The conversation also touches on recognizing red flags, the importance of vulnerability and communication in relationships, and maintaining personal responsibility alongside self-compassion. Ash emphasizes the significance of daily habits and curiosity in fostering personal growth and achieving a fulfilling relationship.

If you're interested in learning how to think better, feel better, and be better, follow @builtforbetter. If you're interested in getting to know Ash at a more personal level (because she's awesome), follow @ashleybadman_.

Hello, you badass goddess! Welcome to the Aligned Relationship Podcast: Find Love, Feel Loved.

Welcome to episode 3 of the mini series that features women from a mastermind group, called the Creatrix Collective, that are sharing their deep, raw, and emotional romantic relationship healing journeys. This series is not about tools or methods, it's about real life.

In today's podcast episode, I have Maila Snow who is a life coach and breathwork facilitator. She has worked through generational trauma, finding safety within her voice ad coming back home to her body. She helps others do the same. Maila has a membership where you get weekly meditations, journal prompts, and affirmations, as well as a monthly breathwork session together.

Maila shares her journey from an eight-year unhealthy relationship to finding a happy marriage. Discussing the emotional aftermath of her toxic past, Maila reveals how her ex's cheating led to a clean break, allowing her to discover herself anew through solo travel, play, and self-care practices. The importance of setting boundaries, understanding personal values, feminine and masculine balance, and the role of safety in relationships are highlighted. Myla reflects on significant behavioral changes, emphasizing personal responsibility, healing generational trauma, and maintaining emotional integrity. With the support of her husband, who embodies a healthy masculine energy, Maila now enjoys a nurturing and fulfilling relationship.

Hello, you badass woman! Welcome to the Aligned Relationship Podcast: Find Love, Feel Loved.

Welcome to the start of a mini series! This mini series will feature women from a mastermind group, called the Creatrix Collective, that I am a member of and is full of soul-led business owners who all have their unique healing and relationship journeys.

In today's podcast episode, I have Martine Mondragon, a 42 year old hair stylist from Sacramento CA as a guest to speak on her various relationship experiences, from abusive relationships to her healing marriage with a man who is healthy in his masculine energy.

Martine and I dive deep into Martine's transformative journey from experiencing trauma and C-PTSD due to past abusive relationships to finding healing and growth within her current marriage. We explore how her husband, in his healthy masculine energy, provides her emotional support and a safe space for her to heal, rediscover herself, and navigate triggers. We also touch on the importance of recognizing and navigating neurodivergence, such as Martine's self-discovered autism and how her transformation in understanding herself better has influenced her relationships. Martine shares her insights on the power of honesty and the role of constant growth in an aligned relationship. This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone seeking to understand and foster healthy, growing relationships.

Hello, my dears! Welcome to the Aligned Relationship Podcast: Find Love, Feel Loved.

On this poddy ep, you will hear about...

Attracting Whole Partners: When your core puzzle is whole, you attract partners who are also whole and ready to commit, forming healthier, deeper connections.

Impact on Relationships: Being whole is essential in both forming and maintaining healthy relationships. If only one person is committed to growth, the relationship may eventually burnout.

Healing and Practice: A practice to move from codependency to interdependence involves spending time in nature, talking to yourself, and gradually increasing time spent alone to reconnect with your true self and unlock your "missing" puzzle pieces.
