Do you find conflict coming up in your relationship?  Whether your in a romantic relationship with a Challenger or any other Enneagram type, conflict is bound to come up when your partner calls you forward.

On today's episode, I'll walk you through the experiences I've had as the Challenger, a Nice Guy, and the avoidant attachment style to show you how conflict can be a positive experience in your life.  Your relationship will be your greatest teacher in life, constantly reflecting your shadow and short comings back to you so that you can grow to become your most authentic self!

On this week's episode of the podcast, I am joined by Erica Weiner who is an Integrative Health Practitioner and Certified Health Coach so we had plenty to talk about with our shared enthusiasm for fitness, nutrition, and mental health advocacy.  

Her mission in this life is to help heart-centered high achievers sleep better, heal anxiety and find joy in each moment. We dive deep into her journey through inflammatory responses to certain foods, alcohol, and how quickly traveling 50% of the time for work caught up to her in every area of her health.  

As a Helper on the Enneagram, Erica has grown immensely beyond a life of people pleasing and perfectionism.  Tune in to her full story on Instagram @ericaallisonwellness, download her podcast episodes There's a Hack for That, or through her website ericaalisonwellness.com

Joining me this week on the podcast are Leanna, type 7, and Jared, type 2, from the Hello and Goodbye Podcast. We share the passion for what the Enneagram, attachment theory, and consciousness can bring to relationships.  

We dig deep into how our parents grow up once the kids leave the nest, what it takes to make a relationship work, and what it means to earn security in a relationship. Today’s episode is one of my favorites so far because I get the chance to speak with two REAL people sharing their lives on their podcast. 

The Hello and Goodbye podcast began because Leanna’s physical therapist encouraged her to share her funny dating stories publicly.   She later gave Jared a tryout as cohost on the podcast and the rest is history! If you liked their message today, please connect with Leanna and Jared on Instagram @helloandgoodbyepodcast or on all major podcast platforms!

On this week's episode, I am joined by Taylor Fraser, host of The Forward Podcast, which recounts her experience in a high school shooting and her journey since.  Together, we uncover patterns in her relationships since and how she found the trauma lying underneath caused relationship challenges.  Once she began to sift through her history, Taylor was able to work through subconscious attraction to musicians, engineers, and trauma survivors to live an extraordinarily successful life.

Please tune in to Taylor's amazing podcast Jan. 1, 2021 for a reenactment of the events from that day acted out by real actors at theforwardpodcast.com

Should you send your ex a Happy Holidays text this year?  With all the turmoil that 2020 has thrown at you, do you feel like reaching out to an ex is a good idea?

On today's episode, I offer up some suggestions for when you may want to reach out with a check in, birthday, or happy holidays text... and when you definitely shouldn't!  But what about if you don't have an ex that is constantly on your mind?

When should you send a good morning text to someone you met on a dating app?  I tell all of my secrets today on this deep dive into the trends in modern dating.  If you're looking for support right now, please try out our private, members only group coaching program free for one week by applying here now! 

I'm not new to the singles scene.  For three years, I have been digging deep and peeling back the layers of my relationship story while surrounding myself with as many positive and uplifting people I possibly could through the podcast.  If I were to have someone tell me point blank, "How to become exclusive" with someone I liked, I would have laughed out loud.

It sounds so simple.  You like someone, you tell them so and you're exclusive, right?  Almost.  Not quite. Consider that everyone has a breakup story the found transformational at one point in their life.  That's me.  Broken and at a turning point in my life three years ago so I set out on a personal mission to uncover how my past traumas and experiences impact my relationships today.

And on today's episode, I share with you three things to be mindful of when becoming exclusive with someone (casually, spoken for, exclusive, or any level or relationship) while dating in the modern world; ie. texting, online dating, and ghosting for starters.

Those three steps are:

1. Be clear about what you want

2. Be clear about what you don't want

3. What does healthy communication look like to you?
