Do you actually want the traditional picket fence life, or is that just what society has led you to believe?

Today, I'm so excited to welcome the beautiful Julia Mazur to the podcast. Julia is an ex-tinder employee turned confidence coach and host of the ‘Pretty Much Done’ podcast, who has made it her mission to remind women that their value is NOT intrinsically linked to their marital status and that you CAN actually thrive past your 20s.

Julia shares her journey from working towards the married-by-30 dream to AUTHENTICALLY embracing her true desires. 

Stay tuned to the very end to hear why Julia was cyberbullied by some high-profile commentators after posting a day in her life and why Mark Cuban joined the conversation. 

You’ll hear: 

🦋 The reason why you can’t STOP scrolling on your dating apps and how to break the habit 

🦋 How to embrace being 30 AND single

Everyone says “you should NEVER go back to your ex” but I disagree. In fact, I think it’s terrible advice.

I know many of you have wanted to explore a past relationship. 

I know for many of you the door to a past relationship hasn’t felt fully closed.

I know for many of you a lot has been left unsaid and a lot has risen to the surface in the face of your separation.

You can’t move forward if you’re still holding onto someone from your past. 

What if you had the opportunity to consciously explore the open door? What if you did try to get back together with your ex? What if you could repair all the relationship ruptures? And what if by doing this intentionally, this allowed you and your EX to either open that door with confidence or close the door with peace in your heart?

In today’s episode, we cover:

🦋 HOW to repair after conflict to come to a place of resolution, compassion and understanding,

🦋 How you can get clear on what your relationship VALUES are and why it’s important your top 3 align with your man,

🦋 Why knowing your relationship VISION is key to a thriving future for your partnership 

🦋 What to do when love isn’t enough

…and so much more.

“I've slept with someone and I didn't disclose to them prior and now I feel like I need to, but I don't know how to navigate that conversation.” 

I received a TONNE of messages just like this one over the holiday period, so I created this episode specifically for those women to support you to be able to handle the disclosure conversation after non-disclosure. 

Truthfully, disclosure after non-disclosure will always go down as my hardest disclosure OF ALL TIME. It takes a huge courage to do so and if you are listening to this episode considering that you might feel you need to do this, I want to celebrate you. 

If you have NEVER disclosed before, and you’re unsure if you should, I’ll dive into all the ins and outs of your integrity and help you to find your clarity around your next aligned steps forward. 

Together we will cover: 

🦋 Why do Aussie doctors tell you that you DON’T have to disclose 

🦋 The way I handled my FIRST disclosure after a non-disclosure conversation and how I’d change it now 

🦋 A script you can use to navigate this conversation 

🦋 The reason so many people don’t disclose 

…and so much more.

Do you experience embarrassment, confusion or frustration around your anxious attachment style? 

Do you feel incredibly strong and secure within yourself UNTIL you start dating? Does the thought of dating and opening your heart to someone create a lot of sensitivity and insecurity within you?

Have you noticed unhealthy behaviours show up when you are dating? Things like compulsively checking your phone, re-reading old messages, checking to see when he is or isn't online, checking to see if you have been left on read, checking his followers / following count to see if he has liked and followed someone new, or if someone new has liked and followed him. If you answered yes to any of the above, likely, you are anxiously attached and I want you to know that is totally okay and very normal.

Today I dive into all things ANXIOUS ATTACHMENT with renowned relationship expert and women’s attachment coach Jayden Leigh Hargreaves. Jayden has a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of achieving life-changing results in supporting women who are anxiously attached to moving into SECURE. Jayden supports women to regulate their emotions, heal their relationships, and rediscover their identity.

We cover: 

🦋 The ORIGINS of why anyone becomes anxious in the first place,

🦋 What ANXIOUS ATTACHMENT actually is,

🦋 How to IDENTIFY if you were emotionally ABANDONED as a child,

🦋 How you can have a seemingly healthy upbringing but STILL be anxiously attached,

🦋 3 PRACTICAL STEPS to support any woman who identifies with being anxiously attached so that you can begin your journey towards feeling secure

…and so much more.
