Episode #038
What Societal Beliefs Do You Have About Intimate Relationships?

In this episode, I explore many societal beliefs we have that may be keeping us from experiencing a relationship that is the truest expression of who we are. 

You don’t know what you don’t know.

I list many beliefs that I have had, and my clients have identified within themselves. This is not a complete list by any means. This is because we are all unique individuals with unique pasts that form our unique programming. But it’s a place to start your exploration. 

This is part of our courageous healing work. 

If you are wanting to explore diverse relationships in an accepting and compassionate space, find out more HERE about my next live group coaching program starting in the spring of 2023. 

This is Relationships Reimagined.

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

Episode #036
Recalling Your Happy Memories to Shift Your Current Experience

In this episode, I explore how to re-wire your brain and subconscious to embrace positive memories from your childhood.

We are wired to focus on the negative and this can keep us continually creating experiences that are unfulfilling and dysfunctional. Societal programming supports this with 24/7 news channels and drama-filled social media.

So how do we begin to change our experience in the world by shifting our thoughts from constant negativity to at least finding a balance between negative and positive thoughts?

We explore this and I give you simple tips to starting a daily “positivity” practice. I don’t advocate “false” positivity - I believe in really looking at what is going on under the surface. At the same time, we can spiral out of control in our negativity which keeps us stuck in old patterns and old stories.

This is part of our courageous healing work. 

If you are ready to go deep, get real and shift permanently, connect with me here to learn more about my individual 1-to-1 coaching program.

Episode #034
What Determines If a Relationship Is a Success?

In this episode, we will look at societal views about what determines whether a relationship is successful or not.

Within the concept of Relationship Diversity, the qualifier of a successful relationship becomes:

·      Am I being my true self in this relationship?

·      Am I honoring my needs and desires while honoring my partner’s?

We’ll examine how this can play out in your intimate relationship.

This is Relationships Reimagined.

Episode #030
You Can’t Expect Your Partner to Be a Mind Reader

In this episode, I talk about the dysfunctional belief that your partner should just know what you want or what you need without having to say anything.

We are never taught how to have direct, open-hearted and compassionate communication with other people. We are left on our own to figure it out and many times, unconsciously adopt what was modeled for us as a young child.

How do we move from dysfunctional communication to supportive, connective communication? I give you 5 steps to begin this process.

This is Relationships Reimagined.
