Life and Love by Design

Anxiety can affect not only our daily lives, but our relationships, too. I’ve seen my clients’ relationships fall apart because their anxiety was getting in the way of the rest of their lives. They needed some way to treat all the stress, panic attacks, and dysregulation, but they don’t know how. That’s why we’re talking to Veruschka, to find out what your holistic options are for regulating your nervous system.

Veruschka del Rio is the founder of Zentuary Healing Center in Fort Lee, New Jersey, and a practitioner of Spinal Energetics, hypnotherapy, breathwork, and bio-energy healing. She helps people release stress, tension, and trapped emotions through nervous system–led healing and the body’s innate intelligence. Blending science, somatic practices, and energetic work, Veruschka empowers others to reconnect with their bodies, regulate anxiety, and step into a more authentic and aligned life.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how you can go from anxiety to zen by shifting your thoughts and taking control of your own identity. You are not your anxiety, and you are not only an Anxious Person. We can treat a dysregulated nervous system and help you find the zen you've been looking for, together. Tune in to hear how coaching and holistic treatment can help you regulate your nervous system and manage your anxiety.

It’s time to put down the attachment-style books! I have very smart, self-aware clients who struggle to communicate well in their relationships. They’re always fighting with their partners, and it’s not because they can’t properly analyze the relationship patterns they’re seeing. It’s because they’re not feeling their feelings. 

Overanalyzing and overexplaining will not fix your relationship. It’s actually making your problems worse. What will help is connecting with your partner on an emotional level, and that means getting vulnerable. 

In this week’s episode, we're talking about why smart, self-aware people still struggle with relationships. You don't need to read another book, and you don’t need to analyze another attachment theory. Chances are you’ve already read what you need to know. What you do need is to get vulnerable, and in this week’s episode, I'm going to help you do just that.

Many people don’t think they have toxic relationship patterns, but they do. I see it all the time! And toxic relationship patterns can look like so many different things. For example, it can look like you two are having the same fight over and over again without ever finding a solution. Or it can be one person shutting down, and the other person constantly pursuing their partner, trying to get them to open up. But at the end of the day, nothing you’re doing is working, and you don’t know why. 

The relationship doesn’t have to be terrible for it to have toxic patterns. You could be a happy, healthy couple 80% of the time. But then that 20% throws a wrench in your entire day, and you end up feeling alone, and maybe like it’s your fault. The problem isn’t you, it’s how you approach your relationship issues. 

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about breaking toxic relationship patterns and learning how to love intentionally. You know that your relationship is worth working on. That 80% goodness is proof that you two have something special. Now you just need to work through these toxic relationship patterns and replace them with healthier ones. Tune in to hear how I help my clients work through these toxic relationship patterns and how to know when it’s time to hire a relationship coach in this week’s episode.

Transformation will always be a foundational part of our lives. Even the basics are transformational; you grow up, get a degree, get a job. We sometimes take these accomplishments for granted, but all of those events transform you into the person you are today.

Today, Tanya supports high-performing, heart-led entrepreneurs and leaders who feel a deeper calling for greater alignment and impact. Through her work, clients expand into their next level of leadership, turn their missions into movements, and expand their impact and income without sacrificing alignment.

In this week’s episode, Tanya shares how she creates transformational life experiences for people all over the world. Growing up, she knew she wanted to travel the world and live an adventurous life. After gaining life experience through a transformative journey, she has dedicated herself to becoming a transformational coach and helping others transform their lives through her retreats.

At one point or another, couples are going to struggle with intimacy. Either their schedules don’t align, their spark fizzled out, or they just mentally can’t get there. So there are plenty of reasons you can be struggling with intimacy.  But recently, the problem amongst my coaching clients is that they can’t bounce back into being a sexy wife after becoming a mom. 

My clients beat themselves up because they think everything about them is supposed to bounce back - their sex drive, their bodies, their stamina, etc. But you’ve become a new person now. You’re a mom! So let’s see how we can navigate this new chapter of your life and relationship together. 

In this week’s episode, we’re figuring out how to switch from busy mom to sexy wife when it matters. It’s time to reclaim your desire, your connection, and yourself. Your intimate life is not over just because you had kids. You can embrace this new chapter with confidence, knowing that I, and my years of experience as a life relationship coach, can help you reclaim your life. Listen to hear why you may not be connecting with your partner and the four shifts you can use to get back into a sexy wife mindset.

And this episode is not just for you if you’re in a relationship. The tips I'm going to share can help you talk to your boss, your family members, and even your co-workers.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to stop walking on eggshells and start having calm, honest conversations with your loved ones. Whether your nervous system is out of whack or you’re afraid of things devolving into an argument, there is an answer and a plan for everything. Tune in to hear the tips I give my own clients and how you can have more open and honest conversations right now.

This episode has mentions of suicide. If you are not in a space to listen to today's topic, we understand, and we’ll see you next time ❤️ 

Sometimes you can have everything you’ve ever wanted on paper, and still not be happy. It's terrifying to realize, but sometimes the material things you’ve always wanted are not what make you happy. Life is not just about our achievements. Of course, it’s great to have goals and accomplishments, but that isn’t everything that makes a life worth living. If you want more for your life and want to live beyond success, then this episode is for you. 

Bill Carmody is the former Chief Coaching Officer for Positive Intelligence, who in 2023 was named the 567th fastest growing private company in the United States according to Inc Magazine. Together with CEO Shirzad Chamine, Bill has supported more than 100,000 coaches globally to become mentally fit. Bill is a highly sought-after trainer and a well-seasoned Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). He works with world-changing visionaries who are brave enough to build a better future. 

This week, Bill and I talked about living beyond success, mental fitness, and how he chose love and life again later in life. After making his fortune and creating a loving family, Bill still felt unhappy and contemplated ending his life. However, some wise words his father passed down to him during his own mental health crisis gave Bill the drive to start over and start designing a newer, happier life for himself. Tune in to hear what these wise words were and how he designed his new life in his episode of the Life and Love By Design podcast.

Building a connection with your partner feels harder than it is. It feels like this connection is supposed to be inherently easy because the initial connection when you first got together was so easy. But reconnecting after losing that connection takes work. Not a ton of work, but work nonetheless. 

Luckily, we have access to some of the greatest minds in relationship research, like John Gottman and David Richo. Their work makes it clear that communication and patience can help bring couples together after betrayal, secrecy, or even drifting apart. 

This week, we’re talking about building connections with the small moments that matter the most. Relationships are not built on huge gifts or big moments. It’s those tiny bids of connections that make up a successful relationship. Which means that you can find your way back to your partner, and to yourself, one step at a time.

Being seen is a fact of life, especially when you are intentionally designing a new life for yourself. So when you’re designing your new life, you have to take into account how you want to be seen, inside and out, and get comfortable with it. This week, we have an expert on being seen and exploring new ways to become your most authentic self. 

Jennifer Bladel is an artist, photographer, and travel aficionado. She often finds herself chasing light, carving out shadows, and making dreams come true, both her own and others, and making content creation fun. She has spent over a decade building her company, traveling the world, and raising her daughter. Jennifer loves working with entrepreneurs and small business owners, especially women. In addition to headshots and family portraits, she is working on a limited edition fine art portrait series defining (expanding the definition of) women’s beauty 40OVER40. 

In this week’s episode, we talk to Jennifer about getting comfortable with being seen. Not only has Jennifer redesigned her life more than once, but she’s also helped her clients capture their most authentic, and sometimes more evolved, selves. You want the new life you’re designing to show up in more ways than one. If you want to be more confident in yourself, your self-image, and your actions, listen to Jennifer’s episode now!
