In today's episode, I speak with Author and entrepreneur Rhonda Parker Taylor, it’s an engaging conversation where we learn we have similar upbringings and family values, which helped us forge a path of entrepreneurship. Rhonda encourages the overachievers of the world to find balance. Consider making a 3-5-10 or 1-3-5 plan for multiple areas of your life (I offer a free guide to help you do just this). Often we focus on our careers or our families, but never set goals for pursuing our hobbies and special interests. For all of the CEO’s and Managers out there Rhonda offers great advice for building trust and good relations with your employees. After listening don’t forget to snag a copy of Rhonda’s suspense novel Crossroads.

In today’s episode, I spoke with Paulina Bohorquez. Paulina is a wife, mom, and commercial real estate agent, we talk about stroking yourself, your family/friends, and your spouse.

Paulina impressed me with how at peace she is in her business and in her life. We had spoken nearly a year ago and at that time I was awe-struck by how much of a force she was.  Paulina struck me as a total boss babe, who rocked out to “Unstoppable” by Sia to pump up her and her team. The Paulina in today's episode was transformed! She is still rocking her business but with a much deeper sense of self. So we discuss the changes in her life and philosophy that have brought her this peace, as well as what it means to give yourself and others grace.

When it comes to stroking family and friends we talk about the importance of setting boundaries, and how the boundaries we set for other people, can show us the areas where we may be overstepping ourselves.

Finally, we talk about marriage, Paulina and her husband have been happily married for 17 years and we talk about the work that goes into that including navigating an age gap and being in different life stages. Paulina’s advice for all couples, never stop dreaming together!  Be sure to listen to the episode for all of the details and her amazing advice.

Today’s episode is a spicy one, I interviewed Magda Kay, an intimacy expert and certified Tantra teacher. We delve into stroking it in the bedroom, stroking your partner, and stroking yourself. I learned that tantra is a spiritual path that incorporates sexuality and works with energy and psychology to enhance intimacy and pleasure.

Magda shares her tips for building confidence and using effective communication to understand each other's desires and boundaries. As well as prioritizing intimacy and scheduling regular date nights that can help maintain passion and connection in long-term relationships. As Magda says, “Sex Requires Intimacy, without intimacy, you simply have bad sex.”

Of course, we dive into where self-care and self-intimacy overlap, and Magda may just inspire you to start taking showers a little differently. ;) Magda also shares the concept of The Four Power centers (head, heart, gut, and genitals) which influence our desires and decision-making. Working with the four power centers can help create alignment with personal needs and boundaries. You can learn more about this from her book “No More Faking It.” Finally, Magda’s Dirty Little Secret is indeed dirty, and certainly a secret that you’ll have to listen to to find out. Text your spouse now because you’ll be coming home ready tonight!

In todays episode Jennifer Schwytzer, a certified life coach, wife and foster mom shares her journey of taking ownership of her time, reducing burnout, and setting boundaries. She emphasizes the importance of having a support system and the role of spouses in personal growth. When it comes to havinga  healthy marriage, she advises great communication. “Nobody's a mind reader. And so if you're not communicating what you need, how can you expect somebody to know?”

Jennifer’s story highlights the transformative power of making small changes, creating habits, and setting boundaries. “You can set boundaries with people and places, but you can also set boundaries with time. The idea of setting boundaries around time is something that has kind of changed my life as far as productivity and getting things done with less time and still having energy to keep going.”

Her final not for listeners “It is okay to be selfish. It is okay to take care of us. It is okay to recognize, hey, I have, you know, 15 things on my to-do list today. I can't take on anything else.” A message we’ve herald before on the show, but one that can’t be emphasized enough!

Meet Jennifer Schwytzer:

I help women prioritize their well-being to feel fulfilled in their work and life. I aim to inspire and empower women of all ages and backgrounds to embrace their authentic selves, discover their passions, and create a life they love. With a focus on living in the moment and cultivating kindness, compassion, and joy, I am passionate about helping all women live happier, healthier lives. With this work, I believe we, as women, can feel empowered to become our best version, without feeling overwhelmed or burned out.

Getting to know what was important to me and who I was, allowed me to recognize, “if you’re not first, you’re last.” Today, I have boundaries that don’t get pushed aside. I say “no” like it’s my job (no pun intended 🙃) and surround myself with the most positive people who add value to my life. I have found balance while crushing my goals and not compromising my time or energy.
