I’m obsessed with skincare and really interested in the idea of tending to your temple (i.e. your body). So when natural skincare and facial spa expert Angela Jia Kim contacted me about being a guest on my show, I was thrilled!

Angela is the founder of Savor Beauty, a company inspired by Korean beauty and self-love rituals. She recently authored Radical Radiance: 12 Weeks of Self-Love Rituals to Manifest Abundance, Beauty, and Joy. In this episode, we discuss her book and how tending to your temple can help heal your relationship with your body and affect the energy you radiate from the inside out.

When you decide to do (or NOT do) something, whose rulebook are you following? In the dating world, many women tend to heed dating rules that, when it comes down to it, are a bunch of patriarchal nonsense. I LOVE smashing the patriarchy at any opportunity I can. 

In today’s episode, I discuss and debunk the four most common, arbitrary, and patriarchal dating rules women follow.

1:46 - What you’re really doing to yourself by following these rules

5:37 - The 1st rule that drives me bonkers (especially since I’m living proof that it’s bullshit)

7:18 - Why feminine energy is very dynamic and powerful

10:34 - Rule #2 is more like a myth (but one with a nugget of truth)

13:50 - The rule that’s just an excuse for bad behavior (and exacerbated by the online dating world)

19:11 - A new perspective on rule #4 (and the real emotional reason underlying it)

I’ve often said to clients to date for fun, not for the one. Having fun puts you into a state of super presence, like a puppy or a child just enjoying themselves without a care in the world. But what if the thought of dating feels very meh right now, and you’re looking to pump yourself up to do it?

That’s the situation that today’s caller Amelia finds herself in right now. In this episode, I help her discover why she feels so blah about the idea of dating again and what she can do to start clearing up her issues around all of her relationships. But I also spend some time touching on how you can protect yourself regarding recent socio-political events causing you to feel stressed or hopeless.

1:49 - A few things I need to get off my chest in the wake of the Roe vs. Wade decision

14:11 - Amelia describes her relationship struggle with men and how it ties back to childhood

20:09 - Why Amelia finds it difficult to allow herself to be vulnerable with men

22:45 - I reveal part of Amelia’s issue and what she needs to do next

26:47 - Why the thought of dating can feel exhausting and doing an inventory of your relationships

35:05 - The three things I want you to take away from this coaching call

We have all these rules around dating, especially as women. We get told, “Don’t do too much” or “Don’t seem too needy.” So when it comes to hookups and texting, you probably find yourself questioning when (and whether) it's good or bad to do it.

In this episode, I talk about how you can prevent harmful hookups (emotionally speaking) and constant texting from getting in the way of your dating life.

2:14 - One thing I have to say before diving into the meat of this episode

4:39 - Reasons why guilt or shame come up after hooking up with someone

6:06 - When hookups can be harmful and going for what I call “conscious hookups” instead

10:39 - Why I think constantly texting with someone is a huge red flag

14:47 - What to do if you want to get out of or go beyond constantly texting with someone

18:27 - Are you currently doing this in your relationship?

With the addition of the pandemic, she’s felt more isolated over the past few years than ever.
