Relationship Alchemy

Each of us is living in our own timeline.

The pressure to follow the same path and timeline as everyone else is an illusion.

Just take a breath and say this aloud: "Tough titties!"

In this episode, award-winning copywriter and Talking Shrimp founder Laura Belgray shares her challenging experiences growing up, the stress of fitting in among cliques, finding her soulmate (unexpectedly!), and why the world needs more of your stories.

Tune in to this episode: Tough Titties with Laura Belgray

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ People grow and change. In any environment, everyone we've met can transform and have different behaviors and interests as life goes on. Someone who may have been harsh to us back then can do better in the present.

✔️ Tough Titties is a rejection to conform to societal timelines. There's nothing wrong with being a late-bloomer. What we want comes to us in its own time.

✔️ Don't put all your eggs in one basket. When looking for your special someone, date multiple people at the same time. Have distractions so that this person you like doesn't become your sole focus. This allows things to ripen in their own time.

✔️ Practice energetic agility. It can be tricky to shift your energy from what you're hyper-focused on to a loved one that needs your attention. Look for ways you can make the transition more smooth. It can be a few deep breaths or verbally letting them know how you feel.

✔️ You have so many stories in you! Stories are great tools for selling or commanding a room. There's no such thing as a boring life. Let the world know your truth!

✔️ Choosing the right relationship is a service. You want to be in one that welcomes your authentic self and encourages your partner to be real, too. When people are comfortable in their own skin, they pass this energy on to others, creating a positive ripple effect.

Laura Belgray is founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure, and author of Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F'ing Worst. An award-winning copywriting expert, she helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she's seen firsthand that putting "you" into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your Buy button.

In addition to online types, Laura's list of clients and credits include NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many, many more. So if you watch TV -- and don't skip the commercials -- you've probably seen her words on air.

Tough Titties, her first book, came out via Hachette in June, 2023.

Today's episode is inspired by a quote I read the other day from screenwriter Shonda Rhimes:

"I am not lucky. You know what I am? I am smart. I am talented. I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way. And I work really, really hard. Don't call me lucky. Call me a badass."

We have this rampant habit among women of shrinking ourselves because we think it will make others feel comfortable around us.

Now's the time for you to quit it and start embodying your full worth!

Tune in to this episode: Quit Downplaying Your Accomplishments

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Make your own version of Shonda Rhimes' quote. Like this: "I am not _____. You know what I am? I am _____. I am _____. I take advantage of _____. And I _____. Don't call me _____. Call me _____." Be sure to choose words that resonate with you.

✔️ Know the truth of your brilliance! Without your efforts, you wouldn't be where you are today. Every day for at least 30 days, read aloud the above acknowledgment you've written for yourself and let it transform your vibration.

✔️ Be anchored in your power. Do you wonder why the sales didn't happen or you keep attracting the wrong people? It's because you haven't embraced the wonders of who you are.

✔️ Knowing your worth isn't arrogance. It's confidence. And it doesn't have to mean being bigger or smaller than others. Just be the right size that tells the truth of your story.

Are you struggling to find the right partner?

This can be because you still have some inner resistance that's preventing you from being fully ready to be in a relationship.

Best-selling author and Soul Guide Dr. Pamela Moss talks about how you can release your love blocks and make your way to your soulmate in a divine way, while staying grounded and connected until they show up.

Tune in to this episode: Letting Love Win with Dr. Pamela Moss

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Allow your intuition and imagination to guide you. Our resistance to love can come in different forms. But you can get past your resistance by allowing and acting on your intuition..

✔️ Do this practice to call in your soulmate. But only when you're absolutely ready to receive them! Imagine them somewhere far away from you and breathe them in and out of your heart as they get closer and closer.

✔️ Be clear on how you want to feel when you're with your soulmate. It can be deep intimacy, a comforting type of warmth, or feeling carefree. Whatever it is, be specific so you can spot your soulmate when you have that feeling around them that you desire.

✔️ The universe makes it happen when you're ready. Nothing can get in the way of you and your soulmate when you let go of your resistance and are clear.

✔️ The body is your teacher. When you're forcing something that isn't supposed to be, it can create physical manifestations like sickness. Listen to and act on your body's signals.

Seven years ago, our dog Phoenix started showing signs of fear aggression.

We took her to a dog trainer that taught us this valuable practice to calm her down — which we later discovered also helped us create deeper connection, intimacy, and playfulness with one another!

Hostility and irritability are usually rooted in being ungrounded in some way.

With this simple practice of closing the gap, you can help your partner (and yourself!) relax and settle down, coming into greater connection again instead of spinning out into a fight.

Tune in to this episode: Closing The Gap

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Your presence is enough. When your partner seems ungrounded, just sit near them in silence. Allow your calm nervous system to support their energy in settling.

✔️ Get playful when closing the gap. With each other's consent, of course! It can look like a bear hug, or gradually inching closer to your partner when they're raging, or speaking in a playful tone.

✔️ It takes courage to go first. Be the bigger person, not to gain power over them, but because you're more interested in contributing to having a connected relationship than you are in winning a war.

✔️ Apply this practice anywhere! In a more professional setting, you could breathe with a team member or client, or sit near them without saying anything. Contribute your relaxed energy to support them in settling down.

Rudeness is on the rise. While it seems easier to let our emotions get the best of us, doing this takes us out of alignment from a life of peace and joy.

Sam Horn, author and CEO of the Intrigue Agency, graces the show and shares valuable tips on what to say (and not say) when you just don't feel like talking, and how to prevent tricky situations from getting worse.

We can't control outside circumstances, but we can control how we respond and what we say.

Tune in to this episode: Talking on Eggshells—What to Say When You Don't Know What To Say

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Never use "but" in a disagreement.

This signals an explanation that comes across as an excuse. It also signifies that you aren't holding yourself accountable for what happened.

✔️ Apologizing doesn't mean you're responsible.

It's a way to acknowledge the other person's inconvenience. Giving them compassion avoids further conflict.

✔️ Say "Yes" more often.

Instead of telling children, "No, you can't do this." Give them a condition that they need to accomplish before they can get what they asked for.

✔️ Be more specific.

Avoid sweeping generalizations. Find out the root of the issue and address it before jumping to conclusions.

✔️ No one can make us angry without our consent.

We all have control over our own emotions. You have that power.

✔️ Set boundaries without getting angry.

You can use non-verbal cues to get people to back off when you feel like a boundary has been crossed.

---------------

Sam Horn, CEO of the Intrigue Agency, is a 3-time TEDx speaker and author of 10 books - including her newest available in June, Talking on Eggshells, plus Tongue Fu!, POP!, Washington Post bestseller, Got Your Attention? - that have been featured in NY Times, Fast Company, Forbes, on NPR, and taught to Intel, Cisco, Oracle, Capital One, Fidelity, and Accenture.

Richard Branson's New Now Leaders, TED Fellows, NASA, and EO have all hired Sam to coach their executives on media training and public speaking.

Sam was Executive Director of the Maui Writers Conference (which Writers Digest called "the best writers conference in the world") for 17 years, and has helped hundreds of clients crystallize quality books and keynotes that have scaled their impact and income - for good.

Many of us caring-oriented people often stay longer in conversations longer than what feels good to us. And you just don't leave because the other person really wants to connect!

What ends up happening is you get frustrated and release it to your partner – and that's not good.

Here's my piece on how you can leave the situation with kindness and compassion.

Tune in to this episode: When You Don't Feel Like Talking

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Develop a lexicon as a cue that you're at maximum capacity.

For my partner Patrick and I, it sounds like, "Hey, I'm full." This allows us to seamlessly end our talk or transition to another topic.

✔️ Give each other permission to be honest.

This prevents the other from taking it too personally.

✔️ Leave conversations effectively.

We all can get sensitive to feeling abandoned or rejected. Express how genuinely interested you are but your bandwidth is unable to take in more. The other person will feel comfortable employing this technique with you and others too.

✔️ It's a kindness to be true about what's happening to you.

Talking to somebody who doesn't want to be there feels terrible. Agreeing on a signal prevents conflict and creates room for more intimate conversations in the future.

Have you ever said something to your partner and thought, "I sound like my father," or, "That's something my mother would say."

Epigenetics tells us that we tend to pick up tendencies and recurring issues that we heard and experienced in our families of origin — especially with our parents.

Therapist Johanna Lynn breaks down the importance of examining our family lines, how our current relationship problems could be the product of past conditioning, and what we can do about it.

Tune in to this episode: Dropping 'The Story' - Understanding Intergenerational Influences on Relationships with Johanna Lynn

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Understand the influence of past generations.

By exploring our ancestors' relationships and environments, we can uncover clues to our own patterns and behaviors.

✔️ Look at repeating relationship issues.

Repeating arguments, boundary issues, communication problems, and people-pleasing tendencies are some common family issues that need to be examined.

✔️ Map out your three-generation genogram.

Doing this can help you identify and understand how certain traits or behaviors have been passed down through your family lineage.

✔️ Practice self-awareness and acceptance.

Once you become aware of your family conditioning and how it has influenced you, you can now work on accessing and embracing your authentic self.

✔️ Heal through connection.

Openness and vulnerability gives you a chance to improve family dynamics and foster a deeper relationship with your loved ones.

It can be hard to get over people, right?

The end of a relationship, going through the aftermath, disconnecting, and disengaging are things we might feel impossible to overcome.

Go easy on yourself. Today, I'll be sharing three pieces of advice you can apply to start letting go.

Tune in to this episode: Getting Over Somebody.

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Sing a sad song, and be done!

This was said by a cousin of mine 30 years ago while I was bawling over a breakup. Allowing yourself to deeply feel the emotions helps you slowly detach from this person.

✔️ Snip energetic ties.

Consciously and externally separating isn't enough. Cut that energetic bond using your imagination. Ensure you're ready to do this and be clear with your desired outcome.

✔️ Start taking actions that nourish you.

Go back to nature. Eat healthy food. Give yourself a treat every now and then. This can help you transition back into your life and out of the breakup cave.

Our bodies are our best friends. You may not know it, but it's always leading us to what's best.

Activist, artist, and thought leader Sonya Renee Taylor shares her journey of listening to and practicing compassion with her body. This physical vessel we have never does us wrong, and the wealth of knowledge it provides us once we start paying attention creates so much joy and ease in our everyday lives.

Tune in to this episode: Radical Self-Love with Sonya Renee Taylor

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Our bodies don't need language to understand energy.

Before you can even make a bad decision, your body can prevent you from making it. It would take longer for your mind to process.

✔️ Your intuitive relationship with your body is a gift. Honor it.

Your body knows better and is looking out for you. Symptoms don't mean you're broken. It's your body lovingly communicating to you that something needs to change.

✔️ Think about your relationship with your body.

You're on the same team. Let go of old conditioned beliefs about your body. Practice self-awareness to combat those thoughts and do things differently.

✔️ Radical self-love involves generosity.

It's knowing that there's so much in the world for all of us. Nothing is completely ours. We have the sacred obligation to share the good that comes through us.

Dan and I were chatting while we were on Necker Island together for an entrepreneur event, and when he shared the 4 questions he asks himself about potential partners, I knew we had to jump on together to share them with you!

Attracting and creating the relationships we want requires a level of intentionality.

International speaker and best-selling author Dan Mangena shares his way of finding potential partners and ensuring they align with his values by asking a set of specific questions.

Tune in to this episode: 4 Questions To Elevate Your Relationships with Special Guest Dan Mangena on Necker Island

Key points covered in this episode:

✔️ Does the person properly represent you? Pick relationships that meet you at the level at which you hold yourself. They should align with your values and make you proud to call them your partner.

✔️ Does the person heal and lift you up? Avoid people who put you down when you're sharing your accomplishments and your challenges. Both of you should elevate each other's frequencies when you're together.

✔️ Do they hold you to the highest standards? Your partner can help to keep you accountable and remind you of your goals. Words of encouragement are a plus!

✔️ Do they hold themselves to the highest standards? You can't be the only one growing in the relationship. Ideally, they're also committed to self-improvement and be open to feedback to make the relationship better.

Daniel Mangena is an International Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Broadcaster, and Coach. He is best known for his highly successful Micro2Millions program, being the author of Stepping Beyond Intention and his Do it With Dan and Beyond Success podcasts.
