Run Your Money Show

You don’t have examples of successful romantic relationships in your life or the lives of others around you. So how can you keep the faith?

When it comes to dating, others' beliefs and actions take up space in your head. So how can you get them out?

You only take action in your love life when you feel sure you won’t face rejection. So how can you get more comfortable going out on a limb and showing some vulnerability?

These are the kinds of issues that my caller Angelina faces. In this episode, I cover a lot of dating mindset practices to help her get out of her own head and discern what’s real. If her situation applies to you too, then keep the above questions in mind as you listen to today’s show.

8:07 - The two big things I see right away with Angelina’s situation

10:54 - One thing Angelina needs to re-frame about her past relationships

15:09 - Why your energy is so important when it comes to dating

19:49 - Why frustration isn’t really one of the issues for Angelina

24:53 - Truth versus stereotypes about older women dating

31:01 - What I mean by “healthy mindset” and the first piece of the puzzle needed for your love life

34:21 - The issue of trust, particularly self-trust

37:59 - The third healthy mindset piece you need when dating

Sherry Argov’s book Why Men Love Bitches has sold millions of copies since its debut and has tons of reviews, most of them positive. It even had a resurgence in interest recently, so I thought I’d read through it for myself.

You’re on a first date and want a second one, but the other person doesn’t. Or they want a second date, but you don’t. This pattern keeps repeating in your love life and no matter what, you can never seem to find someone with a mutual interest and attraction for a relationship.

Your intuition is always there. It can be hard to hear or loud and clear, but it’s there all the same. It’s just a matter of accessing it and trusting it.

In my self-trust podcast series over the last three weeks, I’ve talked about self-trust and having a stronger relationship with your intuition. In this episode, I talk with Denise who has really begun using and embodying the skills I talked about in that series and in my Intuitive (formerly Embodied) Dating workshop.

This is a bit of an unusual episode in that it’s kind of a coaching episode but also just a back-and-forth conversation between Denise and I. In it, we discuss intuitive yes/no responses versus impulsive/fearful ones and how those responses feel different in the body.

7:54 - Denise reveals something that happened a few months ago

11:46 - Why seeing yourself as victim or victor with life challenges is a false dichotomy

17:05 - How Denise experiences her intuitive feeling and how it helped her respond to the ending of her relationship

19:09 - Examples of what an intuitive yes or no response vs. fear can feel like in the body

23:08 - The difference between making decisions from fear or impulsiveness vs. intuition

27:58 - What happened with Denise the day before this call that highlights the intuitive yes response

A lot of the self-help available out there harms more than it helps. Too much of it encourages you to discount your negative feelings about why things happened to you. I started a conversation about this whole thing in last week’s episode. 

In this episode, I want to wrap up that conversation with how you can consume self-help in a healthy, helpful way and reveal three ways you can trust yourself more.

5:54 - How Harry Potter and the hero’s journey illustrate my preferred approach to self-help personally and professionally

9:36 - The three stages of alchemy and how the process also demonstrates true self-transformation

13:38 - One of my favorites ways to help clients build self-trust

16:55 - The second way you can build up trust in yourself (which can be fun or uncomfortable, depending on your point of view)

22:44 - A third way that helps when you don’t have lots of evidence to back up your decision-making

26:57 - Taking the next step into my brand new and totally free challenge

29:21 - Why I believe I avoided the on-again, off-again relationship rollercoaster

I’m a big believer in understanding why you feel what you feel (or don’t feel). There are infinite reasons why you might find it difficult to trust yourself when making relationship decisions. But in talking and working with thousands of women over the years, I’ve noticed a couple of big ones.

In today’s episode, I reveal three of the most common reasons why it’s hard to trust yourself in your love life.

7:59 - Why your mind shouldn’t be the only thing you use to make decisions

10:46 - Example of how your mind can go into overdrive (and how society make things worse)

13:36 - How education or “edutainment” shows up as another culprit in your lack of self-trust in dating

18:04 - Why this third reason for your lack of self-trust lights such a fire under my ass

24:37 - What’s missing in a lot of mindset work and “new age” concepts like the Law of Attraction

28:00 - How all three reasons can compound on themselves and work in tandem

If you can’t trust yourself, you’ll find it hard to trust others. Seems obvious, right? Self-trust is the foundation to everything else, including dating. In reality, though, it’s not always as black and white as it seems.

So today kicks off a three-part series all about how to trust yourself more when dating. And in this first episode, I cover three reasons why and provide examples to illustrate how not doing so can show up in and affect your love life.

4:27 - Not trusting yourself leaves you vulnerable to this

8:21 - How not trusting myself ultimately affected my love life in grad school

10:06 - Why this little phrase from well-meaning people makes me so mad

13:18 - How a lack of discernment with friends and family about your love life can sabotage you

18:08 - Why putting more trust in external resources (including me) instead of yourself can lead you astray

21:48 - One last, very important thing I have to say about trusting yourself more in your love

Back when I originally recorded this episode in 2019, I felt some resistance to doing so. It’s a little bit of a tricky subject about coachability. I didn’t feel like the kind person to say who is or isn’t coachable, despite working one-on-one with lots of women. 

But there are key differences in those who got far with my coaching versus those who don’t. In this episode, I reveal the tell-tale signs of coachability and uncoachability so you can see where you land and if you’re ready to get farther in obtaining the relationship you desire.

7:00 - My definition of coachable and why it has nothing to do with worthiness

9:56 - One sign of uncoachability that I hear from a lot of potential clients

13:23 - An uncoachability sign that closes you off from possibility

14:55 - A telltale sign that, while usually fine, can mean you’re uncoachable if you approach it like this

17:08 - Something a lot of my audience hides behind that shows uncoachability

18:38 - The constant feeling about dating that also shows uncoachability and what you need to know if you think you’ve already healed

22:07 - How awareness, detachment, curiosity, and celebration demonstrate that you’re coachable

27:37 - Feeling coachable? How your life can look very different in a few months time with my help

You hear a lot of talk about self-love. Particularly, you’re told that you need to love yourself before someone else can. My caller Leonnie certainly agrees, but she doesn’t know where to start. In fact, she struggles with the whole concept.

3:41 - Leonnie describes her struggle with the self-love concept

9:16 - Why Leonnie finds it difficult to pump up her self-love meter

17:57 - Something I think is more important than self-love
