Love Starts Here with Love and Life Coach Melissa Snow

Radical acceptance has gotten me through some of the absolute worst times in my life and it seems like something we could all use more of right now. 

Radical acceptance is all about accepting the fact that some circumstances are out of your control and that you can't change the present facts, no matter how much you don't like them.

It's about accepting that:

• He's not willing to love you the way you want to be loved.
• He doesn't want to be with you anymore.
• He's not going to stop drinking 
• He's gone and he's not coming back

Radical acceptance doesn't mean you have to like it, or find the "silver lining" or the lesson so you can be happy again.  It also doesn't mean that what happened was fair or right or just or good.  It just means you're accepting that it is what it is and that the only thin you can control is your response to it. 

Radical acceptance is how you decrease your suffering.  It's how you grow and move forward rather than staying stuck and miserable.  It's how you learn to live your life in the moment, appreciating everything you have RIGHT NOW.  

I know that for so many of you the holidays are going to be hard this year.  It sucks being single AGAIN.  Holidays are difficult when you're still grieving a loss.  And this year, we are all dealing with an especially challenging set of circumstances that are totally out of our control.  Radical acceptance is the key to more joy and less suffering during the holiday season and always.

Are you struggling to get what you want and need from your partner?
Do you have a hard time standing up for yourself?
Is it hard for you to say no to certain people or in specific situations?
Are you tired of wasting time and energy on relationships that aren't working?

You likely either don't know what your boundaries are, you aren't communicating them effectively or you're not enforcing them.   Whether you're single, dating or in a relationship already, boundaries are crucial every step of the way.  

In this episode of Quest for Love were talking about negotiables and non-negotiables, how boundaries impact your relationships and what to do when your boundaries aren't respected.  I'll also share with you the super simple "fill in the blank" sentence I use ALL THE TIME to figure out what my boundaries are and to communicate them clearly.  

You know about boundaries, but you've never heard them explained like this!

The #1 reason women attract emotionally unavailable men is because they are emotionally unavailable in some way too!  

In this episode, we discuss what it means to be emotionally unavailable, how to spot an emotionally unavailable man, how to know if you are emotionally unavailable yourself and exactly what to do about it if you are!

Women ask me all the time, "ARE THERE ANY GOOD GUYS LEFT?"  Of course there are!  But most of the women I talk to keep attracting the same type of man over and over again.  Usually, these men fall into one of four categories: THE NARCISSIST, THE BULLY, THE FIXER UPPER and MR. UNAVAILABLE.

In this episode of Quest for Love, I'll tell you how to know if you are dating or have dated each of these men, why you might be attracting them and exactly what to do about it!  Lets start changing your patterns so you can finally have the kind of love you want and deserve!

The holidays are approaching and with that comes the dreaded questions...

• Are you seeing anyone special?
• Why don't you have a boyfriend?
• When are you getting married?
• When are you going to have a baby?

It can be tempting to lie, to get mad, to tell them to shut up and mind their own business...but on this podcast I'm going to teach you another way to handle these questions. 

I'm going to show you how to take your power back and not let questions like this affect your mood or ruin your holidays, because the holidays aren't just for couples and families - you deserve to be happy and to feel loved too, and it's 100% within your control!

We’ve all heard it before – you have to love yourself first, take time to work on yourself, blah blah blah… but the mistake most women make is that they do the work with the end goal of getting the man.  This is ineffective 99% of the time.  To have the kind of relationship you really want, you can’t do the work with the goal of getting the man.  You have to do the work with the goal of BECOMING the woman who HAS that kind of relationship.  So how exactly do you do that?  It starts with these three things:

#1.  Figuring out who you and what you want
#2.  Filling your heart with genuine self-worth and self-acceptance
#3.  Doing the work to be capable of giving and receiving the kind of love you want
