- 72. The Recipe for Changing Your Life
I always thought that "changing your life", "going after your dreams"... and "not giving up" was so abstract and vague. I kinda got it but mostly I didn't get it at all. Until I found this life-changing recipe that explains it all so clearly.
Our goals and dreams are just some simple math, massive action, and failures away. And that's a pretty small price to pay for living the lives we want!
I want YOU to blow your own mind, the way I have done.

Do you fear not finding out that your partner has cheated on you? Or lied to you? Why is that? Not knowing something doesn't hurt. Not finding out about it isn't painful. So what is it we are actually so afraid of?
Tune in to this week's episode to learn how you can shift the way you think about "not" finding out. I also explain why the way you treat yourself significantly changes depending on when you find out in relation to when the circumstance occurred, and how to shift it.

Ready for some tough love? It's time for you to stop abdicating responsibility for the choices you are making in your life and relationship. Saying "I don't know", "I just can't", or "It's not working" is your brain's way of not having to own the results you're creating.
Instead, start making conscious decisions. Be disciplined with yourself. Stop choosing not to do the things you need to do in order to create the results you want. At some point, we need to actually get to work and not just passively sit and hope for something to change.

The time has come for The Big Manual Episode! This is one of my favorite relationship coaching topics because when I learned about manuals, my entire life changed. It truly changed how I thought about and showed up in my relationship and I'm very excited to share it with you today.
We cover manuals, boundaries, requests, preferences, expectations, and consequences. What they are, what they are not, how to tell the difference, and what's appropriate in adult romantic relationships. Enjoy!

Time for some listener coaching! As always when I coach and answer questions, I have to make some assumptions that might not be 100% true for the person who wrote the question. But without those assumptions, it's very challenging to give any kind of advice. So remember that as you listen to the episode.
If you want more specific, detailed coaching on your struggles, I recommend signing up for my 8-week coaching program where I guide you towards your personal girlfriend goals.

Being dumped, cheated on, and/or lied to is painful. Horrible. We don't want to experience it if we don't have to. But there is a huge difference between the clean pain that is expected and appropriate when shitty things happen to us, and the dirty pain we pile on top of it.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn about clean pain and dirty pain, and how being able to tell the difference can actually decrease the emotional suffering you experience if that worst-case scenario were to happen.

One of the most common answers when asking what the meaning of life is, has to be "to be happy", right? So many of us go through life searching for the external circumstances that will provide us with 100% happiness. But that hunt for the impossible actually decreases the positive and increases the negative that we experience.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about the 50/50 split of the human experience, what it means, and what happens when we are determined to argue with and avoid it. It might sound like a downgrade to accept that life is 50/50, but it actually makes life so much better.

The level of comfort we feel in the relationship context is completely based on our past experiences, coping mechanisms, and strategies. As we became emotionally and sexually active, we learned what to do and how to do it in order to feel safe and secure.
But what happens when those learned behaviors are holding us back from living life to the fullest and having all the experiences we want to have? We can't keep the same level of comfort as we start knocking down the walls in order to make a change. We need to go back to being blushing teens, fumbling around in the dark trying to figure everything out. And it's going to be awkward.

Having our needs met is often a really important part of relationships... according to most relationship advice. But as you probably know by now, I'm not a huge fan of "most" relationship advice. Especially not when it's disempowering and causes problems in your relationship.
Tune in to this week's episode for a new way to look at wants, needs, and "having them met". My goal is always to take all the power you are leaving on the table and put it back in your hands. Even if it might be uncomfortable at times. This episode is a part of that puzzle.
