In this episode, Royce and I explore the different dynamics that exist between wants and needs when it comes to romantic/intimate relationships.

Well, it turns out the subject is not as simple as it seems. We somehow dug deeper than expected. Here is a quick outline of what this recording covered. You might want to listen 'til the end:

- Gender norms and their impact on relationships

- The importance of trust, communication and effort

- Self healing journeys and their effect on our choices

- The evolving dynamics of relationships

- Considering all aspects of wants and needs before committing to someone.

- Going beyond surface-level interactions

Oftentimes, we associate grief with death. Well, let's shift that thinking. Wherever there is loss, there is grief. Think about it: loss of life, loss of career, loss of opportunities and loss of relationships.

This episode invites you to analyze the meaning of the word grief while diving into the practices of living with it.

If you think serving, eating, cooking food is just that! Well think again! Chef Lemaire speaks on how food is a whole experience that allows us to explore cultures, community and even ourselves! Listen with your heart!

Disclaimer: This episode does not reflect a general rule to what happens in divorce. There are endless scenarios that lead to hundreds and hundreds of decisions when facing such life crisis. Please seek legal and/or medical advice to better guide your choices.

In this episode, I explain the 5 things I've learned about my own personal experience with divorce. I go on to share 10 healing breakthroughs that helped me reach a better understanding of my own emotions and thought process. Though I speak in a "advice-giving" tone, please keep in mind that I did not come to terms with all this wisdom until after I had gone through pain, made mistakes of my own and learned the hard way.

Happy Listening!

In this episode, we go over how being single in our 30s influences a sense of belonging that can in turn dictate our meaning of intimacy, community, marriage and connection. Shirley helps us understand and give a meaning to it all. #ListenWithYourHeart #TheTrustFallJourney

* Recorded in Haitian Creole. Epizod sa boure ak yon seri de kesyon difisil tankou : Fe pitit oubyen pa fe pitit? Poukisa yon moun deside fe yon pitit? Kisa pitit ou reprezante pou ou. F'on ti koute!

What a misconception! Most of us walk through life thinking that moving on means getting over. While one has to do with an event that occurred, the other has to do with FEELINGS.
