Someone has done you wrong and you can’t let it go. You’ve tried to breathe, meditate, or find closure, but nothing seems to work long-term. Maybe you even have moments of relief, but before long, you’re back to bitter thoughts of this person or situation taking up prime real estate in your mind. If left unchecked, resentment will poison your life and happiness. But what to do? Today I’m teaching you how you’ve been approaching resentment all wrong and the one evidence-based way to get it right. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/the-key-to-letting-go-of-resentment Listen to my Loving Kindness Guided Meditation to develop feelings of acceptance, compassion, love, and kindness towards yourself and other people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzP24O1O7lE Enjoying the Relationships Made Easy podcast?

How do you get past your partner changing the rules of your relationship? Maybe they quit smoking when you first got together but then started again two years in. Maybe they gained weight and no longer care about a healthier lifestyle. Maybe you’ve had kids, and now they don’t want to have sex as often, or they promised to be a stay-at-home mom and now want to go back to work? What do you do when your partner is doing something now that would have been a deal breaker before you moved in together or got married, so now you feel stuck? If this is you, you’re in the right place because we’re about to go deep about what this all really means. ____________________________ Show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/what-to-do-when-your-partner-changes-the-rules-of-your-relationship ____________________________ Looking for past episodes of the Relationships Made Easy Podcast?

There’s a big difference between being controlling and being in control. Being in control is awesome. It means you’re self-aware, confident, and have strong self-esteem. But being controlling is the opposite. It’s an unhealthy sign that your self-esteem is rocky, and that fear is running the show. Today I’m going to teach you the three reasons you’ve got control issues and my top five tips for finding peace and security within yourself. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/what-to-do-if-youre-a-control-freak-like-me Grab my FREE Progressive Relaxation Body Scan: abbymedcalf.com/bodyscan Have you checked out my YouTube Channel yet?

Controlling people can show up anywhere in your life: romance, friendships, work, or your good old dad. Sometimes these people are well-meaning, but it’s driving you crazy! They’re always telling you what to do, and there are two ways of doing things: their way and the wrong way. They say they’re “just trying to be helpful,” but you often walk away feeling resentful, frustrated, drained, or even depressed. Today we’re going to turn that around! In this episode, you’ll learn the six main categories of controlling behaviors and my top tools for dealing with each one. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/how-to-deal-with-controlling-people Grab my FREE Mindfulness Starter Kit: https://abbymedcalf.com/product/mindfulness-starter-kit/ Want more quick, actionable tips so you can create connection, joy and ease in all your relationships?

Back in the day, I thought journaling was either for those crunchy granola types or people wanting to grab a teddy bear and find their inner child, so it was something I decided early on wasn’t for me. But, like many things in life, I couldn’t have been more wrong! The research has shown that journaling can reduce depression, anxiety, and negative thoughts while also boosting your immune system and physical health! And it’s the cheapest form of therapy you’ll find! I’ve become a convert, and I want to indoctrinate you too! Today, I’m going to teach you why you should be journaling and how to do it effectively. ______________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/should-you-be-journaling Grab my FREE Journaling Prompts: https://abbymedcalf.com/journaling Looking for past episodes of the Relationships Made Easy Podcast?

Negotiating in relationships can be tough. When we’re trying to find common ground, but we’ve got different points of view, there’s a feeling of competition which means there’s an underlying winning and losing mentality going on. With this mindset, each person walks away feeling like they gave up more than they wanted, which leads to disconnection, resentment, and frustration. But today, we’re going to change all that because you’re going to learn my five steps to effective negotiation in all your relationships so you can both walk away feeling connected, supported, and heard. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/the-five-steps-to-effective-negotiation-in-all-your-relationships Grab my FREE list of Collaborative Questions: https://abbymedcalf.com/collabques Enjoying the Relationships Made Easy podcast?

Spirituality in a relationship isn’t just about whether you go to temple, church, or mosque together. What we believe (or don’t) either religiously or spiritually touches everything from how we spend our time and money to how we raise our children and even what friendships we keep.

Every relationship has some form of manipulation. Unless you’re the most self-actualized being in the Universe (and I think you’d be off floating on a cloud somewhere and not listening to me right now), you are sometimes manipulative and sometimes on the receiving end of manipulation.

Then we’ll talk about why people manipulate, why you put up with it, and how to make it stop. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/are-you-being-manipulated-learn-the-signs-and-how-to-stop-it Subscribe today to get my love letter to you!

They’re messy, and you’re neat. They’re a saver, and you’re a spender. They’re a free spirit, and you like things to run on a schedule.
