The Grumpy Girlfriend Podcast

For a lot of girlfriends, the idea of being cheated on (or being cheated on again) is the biggest underlying fear in the relationship. The fear can create all kinds of jealousy, pressure, and anxiety, but also completely disconnect you from your partner.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by relationship coach Marie Murphy, Ph.D. who works with people who are having affairs. We talk about why people cheat, who is responsible and if there's anything you can do to prevent it from happening.

Are you familiar with the term sister-wives? It's basically when you live in a polyamorous relationship with one husband and multiple wives. Perhaps not something that is a part of your day-to-day life. But you actually have three sister-wives. Inside of your own brain.

In this episode, you will meet your sister-wives, Suzie, Beth, and Marina (very much inspired by the TLC/Netflix show One Husband, Three Wives). These three ladies all have an important role in your life and in your relationship grumpiness.

Tune in to find out who they are and how to deal with them all individually.

Welcome to the big chore episode! This topic is one of the most common causes of grumpiness in any relationship, and even those who are generally happy can struggle with chore drama.

In this episode, I share with you the story I used to tell about our chore situation at home. A story that made me extremely grumpy and resentful. I also share the story I currently tell, what's true for me now, and how this new truth makes me feel.

If you struggle with chore grumpiness, this episode is for you!

Are there certain "truths" you're afraid of in your relationship? Topics you try to avoid or questions that are left un-asked? Most likely your brain has already decided what is true, and that truth hurts so bad you try to run away from it.

What if there was a way you could process and question this truth before you bring it up with your partner? A way to take your power back and not allow this made-up truth to make you feel helpless and out of control?

Listen to this week's episode to find out how!

Are you living life on an airplane or on a bus? When things don't go according to plan do you just say "fuck it" and ride it out or do you try to pivot and change how you're reacting?

In this week's episode, I share a tool I have created for my Girlfriend Glow-Up clients who often struggle with judgment and self-criticism when experiencing a setback. It's totally normal to not be perfect from day 1, but can we create a strategy to always choose the next best thing to do in those situations? Listen to find out!

What's the difference between mature girlfriend questions and grumpy girlfriend questions? That's what we are going to dive into in this week's episode.

It's important that we understand what kind of questions to ask ourselves regularly, 'cause the brain is a question machine. The problem is that it's also an answering machine, so unless we consciously answer the questions that are being asked, we are going to get very habitual, often negative, and unproductive answers.

On this week's episode, Breakup Coach Dorothy and I dive into all things breakups. Are they as bad as we imagine them to be? If a relationship ends, was it all a lie? And most importantly, how do we know when it's time to cut the cord?

Dorothy also talks about the difference between being attached and being committed in a relationship and to your big picture goals in life. For a lot of grumpy girlfriends, that attachment is what gets them stuck in these negative thought spirals that we discuss here on the podcast.

Have you ever changed or improved your behavior in order to improve your relationship and then been extremely confused by your partner's response? Perhaps they didn't at all respond in the way you think they should have or perhaps they just didn't show enough appreciation for all the hard work you put in.

This week, we are talking about improving our behavior and leveling up... with strings attached. With a manual for how your partner must respond and how they must show appreciation for this amazing gift we are giving them.

What does Blake Lively and attachment theory have in common? In this week's episode, I share the findings of a little survey I did on my Instagram account all about relationship role models.

Is it a good idea to compare ourselves to others and what exactly decides if it is a good idea or not? I think it's time we start using our role models to our advantage and learn how to compile all the valuable information we can get from them in order to apply it to our own lives.

Buckle up, because this week we're diving headfirst into the cliché of being present in the moment rather than getting lost in the future or the past. But don't worry, I'm not just telling you all the things you already know.

In this episode, I talk about why our thoughts about the past and the future matter so much and how those thoughts impact the present moment. Our thoughts don't have the power to change the past or control the unknown in the future... but our thoughts have an amazing super power in the present moment, and that is what we will explore today.
