Relationship expert Wendy Newman didn't intend to go on 121 first dates before she met her now long-term partner. She didn't think she'd go on more than a few dates and when she realized that the process would take longer, she started documenting what she was learning along the way. It turned into an entertaining, part anti-rules dating guide, part juicy tell-all about all of the adventures, mishaps and lessons that she learned in order to meet the right partner for her!

In our interview, I picked her brain about her lessons and stories so we could shorten the learning curve for you!

You'll discover:

-How to be strategic so you don’t waste time with the wrong person.

-How to pace yourself and stay fulfilled so you can stay in the game and don’t settle.

-How picky does it make sense to be? 

-How to balance your heart, intuition, and head so you choose the right partner for you.

Grief is a heavy feeling and it's understandable that most of us were taught how to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and not get "bogged down" with emotions. And at the same time, as my latest podcast guest Georgena Eggleston, M.A shares in our interview, "You're not broken; you're broken open like a seed to grow in awareness" of who we most deeply are and what our deepest gifts are. She explains what those gifts are and how to move through heavy emotions to find deep peace, compassion, presence, and love, and wisdom.

Georgina gives several examples ranging from small disappointments to large losses and explains what it means to move through the pain to deeper clarity about who we are now, what we want, and how to get it.
