It’s one of the oldest stereotypes in the world - the wicked step-parent, more monster than mother. But the fairytales have got it all wrong, according to mentor and coach Amy Stone, who joins us on today’s episode. After going through the trials of blending a family herself, she realised there were no guidelines, no self-help books - nothing out there on how to be a good step-parent. So, she decided to go out there and create her own! Amy speaks authentically and unapologetically about her own experience being a step-mum, and shares what she has learnt with both her countless clients and in her new book ‘Blend!’. Amy is a passionate advocate for all members of a new family and empowers them with the tools they need to create the life they deserve. Join us on the journey to shatter those evil step-parent myths, and embrace the reality that is the rise of blended families.

Some of Amy’s best advice from today’s episode:
🏡  Acknowledging the challenge of blending families
🏡  Recognising the importance of honest conversation - from the very beginning
🏡  Being flexible and resisting preconceived ideas
🏡  Keeping good relationships the priority across both families

Today’s guest Sharon Kirstin is not only comfortable with facing those uncomfortable truths, but she embraces it! Sharon is a Clinical Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapist and Master Mindset Coach, whose specialty is unraveling the mystery of the ‘Shadow Self’, a psychological term for the unexplored subconscious side of our minds.

Listen in to our powerful conversation as we bring hidden past emotions to the surface and challenge those that have been holding us back from our future - Sharon shows us there’s so much to learn from exploring vulnerability in the darkness, not just the light.

Could the biggest red flag in the relationship be… well, you? Self-awareness is a key focus for us in today’s episode with our lovely guest Kari Assoignon - a certified, trauma informed, dating and pleasure coach, breathwork and somatic healing facilitator. She’s also the passionate visionary behind ‘Conscious Dating’, her 12-week, one-on-one coaching program designed specifically for women to help guide them on their self-love journey back into the dating world. Kari takes us on our own mind-shifting journey today, as we shatter those relationship myths that the little voice in your head tells you you’re stuck in. We talk about recognising the mental narratives and assumptions that we create for ourselves and how to sort fiction from fact. Facing fears head on, we confront the idea that a lack of self-awareness could be all that’s stopping you from finding that successful relationship you’ve been searching for!

We’ll dive into:
🦋 Breaking free from the same repetitive dating cycles
🦋 Doing the hard work before getting into new relationships
🦋 Self-recognition and healthy communication in relationships
🦋 Sitting with negative emotions to improve coping abilities

Writing about the most intimate details of your sex life would make most people feel uncomfortable - let alone sharing it with the whole world! But this is not the case for Tash Doherty, the creative mind behind the Misseducated podcast and our fantastic guest on this week’s episode of The Relationship Circle. Tash is a British Irish American writer who can now add self-published author to her resume, as her new spicy coming-of-age novel ‘These Perfectly Careless Things’ was released late last year. Tash herself is an open book, sharing personal stories about all things sex, love, and life, and what it means to be a writer as she teaches sex writing workshops. No question is too personal as she guides us on a journey to shrug off sexual stereotypes and take pleasure in being your authentic self.

We take a closer look at:
❤️‍🔥 Challenging societal pressures and expectations placed on women
❤️‍🔥 Writing as a tool for self-discovery and transformation
❤️‍🔥 Redefining female pleasure and male vulnerability
❤️‍🔥 Dealing with taboo topics and potential backlash

Tune in as we have an honest, unapologetic, and sometimes NSFW conversation about what it means for women to be having sex with confidence, and how you can unlock and explore your own sexuality through writing.

To read Tash’s new book, ‘These Perfectly Careless Things’, you can purchase through this Amazon link.

To ask Tash anything (and I mean, anything!) connect with her via her socials or get involved with her Misseducated blog and podcast. Facebook, Instagram, on X, and her Website.

How does the concept of "the one" or finding a soulmate impact your approach to dating?

In the latest episode of The Relationship Circle Podcast, let’s talk about why instant chemistry and fireworks are often misleading in dating. Let’s not get used to the idea that love should be all about excitement and sparks from the first encounter and focus on the importance of looking deeper into compatibility and shared values.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨To move beyond the instant spark and not let yourself get caught up in the Hollywood narrative of love at first sight.
✨ To embrace vulnerability and playfulness: true connection qualities that often reveal themselves beyond the first date. Give a chance for a slow burn rather than expecting instant chemistry.
✨ To be mindful and curious: pay attention to your reactions, beliefs, and behaviors in the dating process.

Tune in and don't miss out on this episode that challenges conventional dating wisdom and provides a fresh perspective on building meaningful connections.
