Joyful Love

Every long-term committed couple will have issues to navigate in their sex life. It's important to know this. You are normal. Nothing is wrong with you if you feel like something is lacking in your sex life. The business of life, parenting, different goals, communication issues, and changing hormones can all affect a couple's passion. And most couples just try to figure it out on their own .... without much success. And a lackluster intimate life can lead to feelings of guilt, rejection, frustration, and even resentment. So today we'll explore the most important first steps to bring more (or better) intimacy back to your relationship. You'll learn the most important emotion to cultivate to create a better sex life. You'll learn why knowing how your body responds to desire is more important than figuring out how to increase your libido. You deserve to experience pleasure and satisfaction in your love life.

Are you a spender? You know if you are. The impulse buys online. The Amazon purchases so frequent that you have no clue what those 7 Amazon charges are in your credit card statement. And the coffee shop down the road? You might as well just give them your credit card to keep on file at this point. Every month you try to reign in the spending and you recommit, "Okay! That's It! This month is a SPENDING FREEZE!" And then 4 days in (if that long) you realize your budget is already getting pinched because of unplanned purchases. Or maybe it's not you that's the spender, maybe it's your partner. And it's enough to drive you mad! There are 2 different types of people in the world: Savers and Spenders. And quite often, we're married to each other! How do we solve this problem? You want the freedom to spend. And you also want to plan and save for your future. Can you have both? Can Spenders and Savers find a path to understanding and reaching peace together? Yes. And Franchelle Caesar is the financial coach who will show you the missing pieces for people who constantly spend and how to speak their language. So whether you're the spender or your partner is, tune in to today's episode, and let's shed some light on a very misunderstood group of people: Spenders!

In today's Episode of Joyful Love, we delve into the topic of compromise in relationships and the importance of finding joy while making tough decisions. Both you and your partner have desires, dreams and opinions. And they matter - for you and your partner.

But when you take the time to have solution-focused conversations, listen to each other and meet any fears and concerns with patience and compassion, you can have joy as you make decisions together. Listen on to learn how confidence can play a key role in meeting in the middle and making big and little decisions together!

You'll learn why you're feeling so irritated (Hint: it's not because your partner is just too annoying after all!) And you'll learn how to stop the irritation and see things from a new perspective.

In this episode, you'll learn four skills to feel and be seen and to create a safe place for your partner to open up and be seen too.

You can have goals in life - from simple things you'd like to accomplish around the house to big bodacious dreams!

I want your heart's desires to be realized! That's why today, we're talking about The Power of Planning. I'm a recovering procrastinator and self-doubter, so I get the struggle of putting things off until later!
