Love Starts Here with Love and Life Coach Melissa Snow

Today's episode is all about jealousy - and you're gonna want to listen even if you think jealousy is not an issue for you. 

The truth is, jealousy shows up in lots of ways you may not even recognize as jealousy and it can ruin a relationship without you even knowing that's what happened. 

Today we discuss:

• The difference between envy and jealousy and how each shows up in relationships 
• Where jealousy REALLY comes from and why it happens
• The places you need to heal to make sure jealousy doesn't create problems in your current or future relationships

When it comes to dating, there are a lot of things that create anxiety...

Will he like me?  Will I like him? Will he call me again? Should I call him?  What if I look desperate?  What if I get my heart broken?

The keys to wiping this anxiety out for good are ACCEPTANCE and HAVING YOUR OWN BACK.

In this episode, I'll explain exactly what I mean and tell you how you can start doing both of these things TODAY. 

When you learn acceptance and how to have your own back, not only will you have more fun dating but you will start attracting a different type of man and you will create stronger, more fulfilling connections.

On today's episode I interview Dedeker Winston, cohost of the Mutliamory podcast. 

Dedeker is also a relationship coach specializing in non-traditional relationships and the author of The Smart Girl's Guide to Polyamory.

We dig into the process of deciding what kind of relationship you REALLY want, not just what you think you're supposed to want.

We also discuss the similarities between monogamous and polyamorous relationships and what each can learn from the other.

Even if you're committed to being monogamous forever, this episode will help you explore other areas of your relationship and your life to decide what it is is you REALLY want.

Last week, in the Love Starts Here Facebook group, I asked what the HARDEST thing about dating is and you told me things like:

• Men are dumb
• Online dating sucks
• It's such a waste of time

Today I'm going to lay down some tough love that you need to hear. 

I'm going to tell you the REAL reason dating is hard for you - and it's probably not what you think (or what you want to hear). 

The good news is, if I'm right (which I am) then changing your results and making dating easier is totally within YOUR control - and I'll tell you exactly how to do it.

And the best part about this is that when you become that  woman, you will automatically attract the exact type of man you thought only existed in your dreams. 

Plus, we chat about why it can be so hard to resist these men sometimes, and how learning to trust yourself plays a huge part in your dating success!

The topic of overthinking has been coming up a lot lately with my clients and in the Love Starts Here Facebook group.

The problem with overthinking is that although it can feel very productive, it's actually not. 

Overthinking keeps you stuck in indecision, prevents you from moving forward, drains your confidence and zaps your time and energy.  

On today's episode, I'll tell you exactly what causes you to overthink - and it's probably not what you think it is!
 
I'll also give you two solid tips for how you can stop overthinking - especially when it comes to dating and relationships!
