Keynote speaker, success coach, author, television host, and philanthropist, Simon T. Bailey's purpose in life is to help you discover your brilliance and increase psychological well-being. Today's guest helped me regain the strength, perspective, and incentive to bring myself back to life. It was a game changer and life saver.

We discuss his book Ignite the Power of Women In Your Life—A Guide for Men, heartbreak of climbing the ladder of perceived success only to discover it was propped against the wrong wall, building a house but losing a home, chasing money but having no meaning, pursuing power without purpose and gaining status but having no satisfaction, the hopelessness that greets you and your relationship when you're focused on outward appearances more than internal connections, healing the mother wound, filling the hole within you in order to show up whole in relationships, latching onto relationships out of desperation versus inspiration, how cherishing goes steps beyond loving someone, dating with more intention and communication before even meeting, ego versus eco, igniting the power of women, affirming men, suicidal ideation, the power and encouragement of going "just a little bit more" and becoming who you're meant to be as you answer a problem connected to your unique wiring, and so much more poignant and life-enhancing insights.

Forever grateful for Simon T. Bailey:

Psychotherapist, Truth Teller, and advocate for being a "difficult" woman, Tonya Lester joins Chelsea 9:10 minutes in to talk about the upside of being difficult (the good kind of difficult, that is), what's worse than heartbreak (spoiler: it doesn't involve a relationship ending), the masks we wear and the self we forfeit in order to attract and keep partners, freeing ourselves from the spiral of "if-only" I had been/done/or behaved like XYZ, the healing powers of curiosity, self-compassion, and vowing to use our past to change our future, internal family systems methodology, the motive of the mean voice, how shock absorbers in relationships always finish last, the power of self-possession,  "kind narcissism," and why presenting ourselves as fully — vulnerably and accurately — as soon as possible is the best way to set ourselves up for a love that aligns with our true nature and intentions.

Psst: I loved this episode!

As a pain avoidant culture, we’ve been taught to fix what hurts us. To rush to the solve. To make it go away. That something’s wrong with us if we’re not feeling lovable. In today's episode, transformational and potentiality coach and author of 911 From Your Soul, Jeanine Thompson provides us an alternative approach and her signature soul solution, encouraging us to surrender to the challenge, journey, or crisis and rest in the darkness until the next reveal illuminates.

Married since 1972 and trained as psychotherapists, relationship counselors, and seminar leaders, Linda and Charlie Bloom join Chelsea 10:30 minutes in to talk about their 5th book, An End to Arguing: 101 Valuable Lessons for All Relationships.

We dive deep into preventing painful interpersonal conflict, dropping the mask and exposing the whole spectrum of who you are early, dating with the agreement that you’re both practice partners who will do the best in this now moment while holding out the vision of where’d you’d like to go, the need to confront your partner about any misalignments before making the decision to leave, the importance of staying on the responsible side of a breakup, the vulnerability and threat that comes with caring, what drives us toward someone who is different than us, why there’s no passion without authenticity, how to ignite closeness after times of separation, and how the value and pleasure of a relationship only comes once you’ve hung in through the times when many people call it quits.

Author, poet, and advocate Lindsey Frazier joins Chelsea 7:45 minutes in to dive deeper into her memoir Oh Love, Come Close.

We hit the bottom and bring up all the gold, like living with high-functioning depression, the stigma surrounding antidepressants and how taking medication isn’t about surrendering to our weakness but rather choosing endurance, suicidal ideation and the desire to escape our inescapable madness, combating the shame voices by hitting them with self-belief, leading by the mantra that "vulnerability breeds vulnerability" in parenting, the consequences of meeting our partner when we are in total trauma and the all too relatable fantasy that marriage will save us from our core wound, coming face to face with our sexuality, a partner’s indefinitely, and the stories raging within, the healing power of a couple breaking into their own humanness right in front of each other’s eyes, the redemptive moment when you see something bigger than oneself at play, stepping back and letting God move us, and coming to the end of ourselves and realizing that is the best place we could be.

Psychic therapist, medium, podcast host of The Genna Effect, and author of The Secret That’s Holding You Back, Vincent Genna, joins Chelsea 5:30 minutes in to explain how we are always manifesting what we believe about ourselves — hence, why the most courageous work we can ever undergo is discovering (and changing!) what it is we actually believe. 

Standout takeaways: every hurt creates a scar which, left unhealed, can be inflamed by future painful events, all the “I’m nots” — I’m not smart enough, I’m not good enough, etc. — has a common denominator pain of “I’m not lovable,” as soon as we detach from source, we feel abandoned, neglected, jealous, and angry, coping mechanisms are in place so we survive not thrive which is why we must disempower our defense mechanisms as adults, the 3 R exercise for better beliefs: review, replace, reinforce, attraction has nothing to do with another person, and everything to do with our beliefs about ourselves, the healing part of us that is loving ourselves more is not going to choose partners out of desperation, discretion comes with true self-love, reparenting ourselves sounds like the adult version of ourselves reasoning with our inner child, the harming effects of relationships built on a sexual foundation versus an emotional foundation first, and the major reason for mindfulness is to hear and understand what we are thinking so we can change it and evolve beyond our habits and history.

Child abuse and trauma recovery life coach and mentor, podcast host of Think Unbroken, speaker, and the author of Think Unbroken: Understanding and Overcoming Childhood Trauma, Michael Anthony joins Chelsea 12:30 minutes in to talk about hitting rock bottom multiple times, the price we pay for not looking in the mirror and healing, disarming vulnerability and honoring your gut instinct, the willingness and investment in betting on yourself and realizing your why, posting and sharing for attention versus connection, why you should only date if you know what you’re getting into, acknowledging core values immediately, never leading with assumptions while dating but demanding clarity, closing the gap between who you are and who you aspire to be, and why you better pay the taxes now or suffer later, plus so much more brilliance.

Sam Garrison, the Founder of Stackin, a revolutionary behavior-based financial wellness and coaching app, joins Chelsea 16:30 minutes in to talk about investing in ourselves and relationships, overcoming financial insecurity so you can date with confidence, the significance of establishing a financial framework within a loving relationship, how to actually build a life together that meets both partner’s needs, the tug of war in dating between the head and heart, the allure (and torture) of ambiguity, charisma and flirtation being a celebrated form of manipulation, and the payoff of being spiky in life, fun in dating, and active in your decision-making.

Canadian-born artist, rapper, spoken-word poet, and international best-selling author, Humble the Poet aka Kanwer Singh, joins Chelsea 9 minutes in to talk in depth about the most expensive book he’s ever written, his latest, How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection & Loving Your Way to a Better Life. 

Leaving no stone unturned, Humble shares his notes from the trenches and leaves the key behind so we, too, can be a source of love and learn how to break free from the fences within.

Topics discussed: performative humbleness versus quiet confidence, living beyond the binary mindset, the trap of likability, healing the inner child, being rooted in empathy, opting out of the fast food version of love, chasing pleasure to medicate a lack of peace, the mind of a fuck boy, in favor of women being easy to get and difficult to keep, performative sex versus selfish sex, prioritizing an exclusive relationship with a therapist, gratitude versus guilt, anxiety is the messenger, cheating on your partner with your partner, social media isn’t a friend to love, and how to unlock pathways to authentic intimacy and self-advancement.
