Rock Solid Relationships

Let's talk today about why you avoid your emotions. Now first, friends, I want to make sure you know that avoiding emotions doesn't make you bad, or weak, it makes you human. But let's get curious about why we try to avoid our emotions, what that looks like when we do, and, if we want to, how we can stop avoiding our emotions. As we see ourselves from a different angle, we can work towards taking away those negative consequences we experience from trying to avoid our emotions. Listen today!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work with a life coach? Since you're listening to this podcast, my guess is that you're at least a little intrigued. So today, I want to talk you through what it's like to work with me. And if you're more than a little intrigued by the idea of working with me, I invite you to go to www.sarapayne.com/work-with-me and sign up for a consultation call. Just like you go to a dentist for routine care before the root canal, I can help you through the everyday things or the really tough times. I can't wait to talk to you.

For all of you in the messy middle, I'm talking to you today. And, really, that's all of us because we are all in the middle of something, right? Have you ever woken up and just thought, "I don't want to be me today"? This episode is of you. It's easy to enjoy a hero's journey when you know it will all work out, but the middle is sometimes long and unbearable and there's no end in sight. Let me suggest three ways to make the middle of the journey as joyful as the end.

This subject we're talking about today is a tender one. I know it's sensitive for a lot of us. But I also think it's important to talk about. We all struggle with body image. I don't know how you can't being a woman growing up in our current society. We are bombarded with a specific standard of what our body should look like and everything else is unacceptable. You can love your body NOW, and change it if you want to. If you hate yourself towards a goal, you're not going to magically love yourself once you get to that goal. So let's talk about how to stop hating your body and start loving it. Just the way you are today.

In this episode, I want to share with you a chapter from my new book, I Did All of That for This? (available on Amazon). The chapter I share on resentment is one that I think will really resonate with many of you. You can even read it with your husband if you want--and introduce him to thought work--then it's ME telling him about a different way to think instead of YOU.

So, let's talk about resentment, what that looks like in your marriage relationship, and how it might be keeping you from creating connection in your marriage.

Have you noticed that sometimes it's difficult to be happy for someone when something good happens to them? Why is that? I think it's because we're looking at it from a scarcity mindset - that will never happen to me - when we could be looking at it from a different perspective - now we know that it's possible! Listen to this week's episode as I talk about how to be happy when good things happen to other people.

As I've worked with doctor's wives over the past years, I have found that there are three common pitfalls that almost all of us fall into. Today I want to share with you one of those pitfalls. Because I've been thinking a lot about relationships lately and how important our marriage relationship is to us and our lives. And because I believe that strong medical families change the world, I want to talk about how to avoid this common pitfall in your medical marriage. Listen today!

I used to think that resentment was based in anger. Anger that my husband spent so much time at work. That he spent so much time with his patients. But what I've come to realize is that resentment is actually based in envy. Envy that my husband has something outside of the house that I don't. In this episode, I talk about resentment and how to look at it, get curious about it, and get over it.
