Sherry and Carla first take a Love Fix question from a listener that is looking for more confidence in dating and wants to switch it up and speak with more compassion to themselves.

They then welcome Maryse Cardin, author of the book 5 Minute Morning Magic, Speaking to Yourself with Love and Speaking To Yourself with Love workbook, and more. As a speaker, workshop leader, and university communication teacher, Mary is passionate about sharing positive and loving self-talk skills.

• How can self-talk change the direction of how we feel during times of crisis?

• How the story we tell ourselves and our self-talk can impact us in a way that can help us take action towards healing from codependency.

• How we can begin to trust ourselves after betrayal.

• No contact doesn't feel great and we are missing that dopamine hit, but it's most often the only path to true healing after a breakup.

• Our body gives us clues as to when something feels good, bad, or neutral.

• How to deal with the part of you that wants to protect you at all costs.

• The internal battle that often happens when we are facing a very difficult situation like a toxic relationship.
