Restore Yourself. Restore Your Marriage.

Did you know that there is something you are already doing on a daily basis that could easily become an aphrodisiac for you?

There is!  And that is incredible news because it's not something new you have to do or learn.  But, when we learn how to do it more effectively, that's when it can make a big difference.

Listen in to find out how to harness this everyday occurrence, learn the four goals of it, and use the checklist as a guideline to help you master it.  

When was the last time you took a close look at your desire for intimacy?  Have you ever wondered how it was programmed through the media and your environment?  This is not something you chose on purpose... the manner in which it was shaped when you were growing up.  But we can challenge it now, and we can have total say in how it is shaped moving forward. 

In marriage, we are usually faced with two different programs around sexual experiences (male and female based) showing up and interacting, and often colliding.  But marriage is the the perfect place to take a closer look at our programming, to see if we like it the shape that its in, and how it has shaped our marriage.

Listen in on today's episode where we briefly look at twelve, one-minute examples of how our desire for intimacy, both high and low, can impact our relationship.  We then conclude with four simple things you can do today to help reshape desire in a way that is more mature, more meaningful, and more beneficial to your marriage.  

Have you ever thought your spouse was just lusting after you, but not really loving you?  Lust is a word that usually brings some negative connotations with it, and with good reason if someone is really in the state of lust.

But what if we are thinking our spouse has fallen into lust when they really haven't?  Do we really know the difference between the natural and normal desire for intimacy that comes with the love we have for our spouse, or do we just categorize all of their desires as lust?

Listen in on today's episode where we clarify the concept of lust, the actual ways desire turns into lust, and what we can do about it.  We will use some actual numbers to help gain some much needed perspective, so that we can actually celebrate our spouses when they are demonstrating true love and stop assuming that it is all lust.

It's one week before Valentine's Day.  How are you feeling about it?  If your relationship is in a good place, you are probably excited.  It its not, you might be dreading it.

In today's episode, we take the seven days leading up to this holiday and share one unique way to increase the love.  It all starts out with a healthy dose of self-care,  because we all know that when our own buckets are full it is much easier to share the love with others.

Listen in now and join us in the fun countdown, where we explore how nature, scarcity, and the Turn It Up Trifecta all set the tone for a unique Valentine's Day experience.

Women, have you ever cried after having sex, but it wasn't the happy kind of tears?  Or husbands, have you ever seen your wife cry after sex?  Maybe you don't even know that she cried because she left the room and hid it from you.

Either way, this happens more than we would like to think it does.  But why?  Why are we crying sad tears?  Why aren't we crying tears of happiness after supposedly making deep connections through our intimate experiences?

There are a few reasons for this, but the main one has to do with our thoughts.  There are thoughts we bring to the experience, thoughts we have during it that take us out of the experience, and thoughts we have about it afterwards.  Listen in today to see what I did when this happened to me two years after I got married and how just one thought made all the difference.  

Have you ever felt like your marriage could be better?  Have you ever felt like the "emotional" part of intimacy could be deeper or that there was a simple solution to something that seems so complicated?  

If both spouses are smart enough, marriage should be easier, right?  Well, it can be easy, especially when you join our brand new program called the "Make It Meaningful" membership.  

Listen in on this episode as we dive into all of the wonderful details of what's included in the membership and how much fun we can have inside.  

Have you ever felt so stressed that you found it difficult to "get" in the mood?  Stress is one of the biggest blockers to a woman's natural desire to be intimate.  And when we take the time to lower our stress and practice healthy self-care on a regular basis, it can really help with this.

But what if the women tried to do what the men do and actually turned to intimacy to reduce their own stress?  And what if we were able to do this without feeling guilt or shame about it?  This is something that most of my female clients find very difficult to consider.  What they often don't realize is that some of the chemicals that are released during and after intercourse actually help to lower stress!

If you ever feel like you are intimate with your spouse mainly out of duty or pity, then this could easily be a game changer for you!  When you attempt to "get" in the mood for your own meaningful reasons, and not just for your spouse's reasons, it becomes much easier.  Listen to this episode now to find out how.  

Have you ever had some negative sentences run through your mind about your past?  Like maybe your parents didn't give you enough encouragement to pursue your dreams.  Or maybe you have thought that your ex-boyfriend didn't treat you as well as he should have.

This unfinished business, when left unchecked, can wreak havoc on our lives and on our marriage.  And why would we want to continue to give power in our present situation to someone who didn't empower us from the past?  We usually don't want to do this, but we may not realize that we actually are.

Listen in on today's episode as we dive into some of the signs that will let us know we are still living with unfinished business and that it's still having an effect on us.  Listen to some examples of how it might show up in your life, and 4 options of how you could start to address it.  Empower yourself this year to finally wrap up unfinished business.

We have all heard about New Year's Resolutions and goals, but have you ever thought about creating a new legacy for the new year? Probably not.  Leaving behind a legacy is not something we usually think about until we get closer to death.

But what would happen if we thought about it now?  What if our legacy was written out right now, at this very moment, based on how we spent our time and energy last year?  Would we like it, or would we wish things were different?

Listen in on today's episode where we explore the big 6 categories that the majority of people view as the most valuable when they are closer to death and reflecting on their life.  Learn how life-coaching concepts can help us create a legacy of total badassery instead of leaving behind a legacy of blame, helplessness, and victim mentality, simply by default, for the next generations to fall into.

Have you ever felt like your spouse should be parenting differently than they are?  Have you ever felt frustrated because you seem to be on operating from two different pages of the parenting manual?

If so, you're not alone.  In fact, this happened to me last week.. during Christmas vacation.  I was hoping for things to go well with all the kids being home during the break and that we would make lovely memories that would fill our hearts with peace and happiness.

But that is not necessarily what happened.  At least, not at first.  Listen in to discover what we did when we were not on the same parenting page, the power of combining life-coaching approaches with spiritual approaches, how music was surprisingly helpful in this situation, and the awesome effectiveness of the simple 2-minute talk.
