The Soft Shoulder Podcast

So is a messy desk. We often make a mess when we make art. But this is about the particular, underappreciated creative act of making S P A C E. For any of you who need a soothing voice to listen to while you clear off your counters, tidy your desktop and wipe the slate clean. It can start with a desk or a drawer. Making space can make room for so much more of YOU.

When you’re dating, people often ask what you are looking for in a partner. Is this the best question to be asking?

Or how about being surprised by a fulfilling connection with someone who somehow doesn’t check many (or any!) of your boxes? If you enjoy the power of clarity in your dating journey, listen in for the questions that can change the way you hold the map.

There is only so much preparation you can do without getting wet. Love is not something you can “get right” before diving in. And, most importantly, diving in is not the only way in. This episode is for you if you want to start dating and sharing intimacy with other people, but are afraid to take the plunge. Maybe the loving pace for you is another way back into the dating pool.

The post If You Just Got Dumped – Listen to This. appeared first on Radical Creative Sanctuary.

How does it feel when someone worries about you? We often think that worry is a sign we care about something – but is it? Or is it just a really terrible fantasy? In this episode Danette explores why NOT worrying about someone when they are going through a big life heartbreak is a powerful way to show your love. And sometimes that someone is YOU.

Bonus Fun – hear how Danette used the power of song to tell her ex-partner when she was pissed off. A bizarre little resentment hack that might surprise you.
