Episode #048
Shifting Your Relationship Structure - How Timing Can Influence Your Decision

In this episode, I tell you the story of my life by sharing the different chapters of my relationship story.

I talk about how my needs and desires have changed over time and how my self-evolution has helped me determine what relationship structure was the best expression for the chapter of life I was in.

I’ve practiced soloamory, monogamy, open relationship and polyamory and each structure has reflected my evolving intention and vision.

Honoring this natural process of evolution and learning to accept and love oneself is all part of choosing consciousness in relationships.

This is Relationships Reimagined.

Join me to be a part of this new paradigm of conscious, intentional and diverse relationships.

Episode #046
Unpacking Your Familial Programming about Intimate Relationships 

How does your past influence your present? 

We learn so much about relationships through our childhood experiences ~ what we see, what we hear, and what we observe creates our subconscious beliefs around relationships. 

This is great if we are in alignment with what we grew up with. But for many, there are deep wounds that keep us from experiencing authentic, fulfilling unique relationships that reflect our unique selves.

By doing our own inquiry and healing, we have the possibility to completely change the narrative of intimate relationships.
