DAY 3: We Are All So Lovable and Also? We’re Not.

4/16/2023
We’ve made it! The final episode of this podclass series, where we need to dive into a very adult-y, uncomfortable truth in terms of our innate lovability. Because YES, we’re all so super cute and special and wonderful and lovable…and YES, we are also totally wounded, pain-in-the-ass humans who sometimes show up in ways that make us hard to choose, or hard to be around. Accepting this paradox, admitting our own imperfection, while also investing and embodying our innate lovability? That is the sweet spot, my lovelies! Thank you for joining me on this delicious podclass ride, and if you want to learn more about my upcoming program – Grown Woman, Great Love – then make sure to get on the waitlist. The link is below!

DAY 2: You Can’t Just Keep Saying “No” Forever

4/15/2023
And we’re off to the races! Unpacking and fleshing out another questionable piece of common dating advice. Way back in Season 1 of the pod I recorded an episode about “The Possibility and Power in Saying NO”, where I discussed the importance of knowing what you want, and being a clear “no” to anything that is not that. Yes! Important! Very true! And…here we are now, five years later, five years wiser, and I need to adjust some of that advice. Because where Great Love is concerned, sometimes we will be asked to assess, question, and evaluate where a “no” is coming from, and what that “no” is really in service to. Get ready for all multi-layered nuances and disclaimers of this one, and ENJOY!

DAY 1: Entitlement, Superiority, and Egoic Standards (EEK!)

4/14/2023
Episode one of this series is all about deepening into what’s driving our standards in the quest for Great Love. A fire was lit under my booty on this topic when I bumped into a little post on Instagram reinforcing the popular idea that if you are a conscious, growth-focused person, then you should clearly be with a conscious, growth-focused person. And on the one hand, yeah! Totally! Why not? And on the other hand…welp – we gotta unpack this one and get into the deeper layers of what’s at play here. Because depending on the energy that your standards are rooted in…you could be in for a bumpy ride. Let’s get into it!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about becoming a student of Love, surrendering to Love, and what that has looked like for me over the years.

2/16/2023
First off: I have an exciting announcement of something NEW coming in March. And secondly…let’s get into a deep unpacking of the many ways we sweet, tender humans try to turn off our longing for love. Which, if I can be completely honest, is so futile and frustrating.

#72 – Are You Stuck in the Feminine Swamp?

1/19/2023
Ladies, we’re leaving the swamp! The swamp of dilapidated Feminine flow and resistance to healthy Masculine support! The swamp of staying trapped under a gravity blanket of heavy, dense, energetic depression that prevents you from following your dreams and desires! The swamp of staring at your phone for hours on end when really, your energy wants to be directed towards literally anything else! Today I’m talking about creating supportive Masculine structure that exists in service to your Feminine creational flow. Because the Feminine Swamp gets the better of so many of us…so let’s get into it!

#70 – Trusting Yourself & Not Waiting for “Level 10 Terrible”

12/22/2022
Earlier this week I had a conversation on Instagram about the painful phenomenon of not listening to your inner knowing… or not making a change when something feels off/wrong/uncomfortable in your life… and instead… WAITING FOR LEVEL 10 TERRIBLE. Meaning, you wait until you’re pretty much forced to make the change because things become just plain intolerable, instead of making the change out of your own sacred volition. Oof! So painful! Why are we like this thought?! Well, in today’s episode I offer 4 specific (and perhaps surprising) reasons for why this happens, and what we can do about it. Get into it!

#69 – Self-Love, Self-Honesty, and Making Changes

12/8/2022
What are the top two most essential, non-negotiable ingredients for a rock solid relationship to ourselves? In my personal opinion (and experience…and expertise…) we need equal parts SELF-LOVE and SELF-HONESTY if we truly want to thrive in our lives. If we want to say “yes” to making uncomfortable changes. If we want to learn from our mistakes. If we want to wake up in the morning and feel grateful and excited to be ourselves every day. If we want to grow! All of the above becomes a lot harder if we don’t know how to love ourselves adequately, and also don’t know how to be honest with ourselves. Listen in to learn more.

#68 – Why “Practicing Gratitude” Can Be IMPOSSIBLY UNHELPFUL

11/24/2022
Oh boy! Get ready for me to rant and rave and go in-depth into why I claimed to be “allergic” to gratitude for many years. Because sure, everyone knows that a gratitude practice is a great idea, but what do you do when it just feels icky and/or fake? And kinda impossible? And also…doesn’t work? What then?! If you’ve struggled with practicing gratitude, and then feel bad because you should be more grateful for how much goodness is in your life, then this is the episode for you.

#66 – My Painful Secret and “Everything is For Me”

10/27/2022
Welp! Cat’s outta the bag. On a friend’s podcast recently (as well as in an Instagram story) I shared a bit about what happened in 2019 when I woke up one morning with extreme, excruciating, physical pain…that wouldn’t go away. So I wanted to share a bit more about my healing journey right here, in my personal podcast home. I talk about the experience of losing my confidence and sense of self, and feeling truly hopeless, helpless, and deeply afraid. AND the popular personal development meme that served me through that time, and has continuously brought me back into my power. (I’ll also share that this one feels vulnerable to hit “publish” on. So I want to offer a preemptive “thank you” for listening, and being a part of this caring online community.)

#65 – Cleaning up My Patterns of Attraction with Men

10/13/2022
We’re dipping (or diving head-first?) back into the dating-and-relationship waters today! I’m getting personal in this episode and talking about some of the deepest, most uncomfortable, confronting work I’ve done when it comes to healing my relationships to men and the Masculine. I talk about my patterns of idealizing men, placing partners on pedestals, villainizing men, and making them the enemy – I’ve done it all. And I learned the hard way why trying to date men, when you also kind of hate men, just doesn’t work. Listen in if you want to clean up your patterns of attraction to men and the Masculine at large!

#64 – Making Decisions from Body & Mind

9/29/2022
Why does it feel hard to listen to your own intuition? Why is it that our minds are often yelling loudly, while our bodies only whisper? What happens when we start to move through our lives from a place of embodied wisdom…instead of following the rules of logic and rationale? In this episode I talk about the absurdity of me doing embodiment work, moving through resistance to listening to one’s body/deeper knowing, and how to start tuning in from the neck down. This is a great listen if you’re curious about embodiment work and what it can look like for you. Enjoy!

Today I’m sharing a bit about my experience of being a highly sensitive, deeply feeling human in romantic relationships. Because learning how to own our sensitivities and responsibly move through (and express!) our emotions on our own is one thing…but doing it with another person?! Holy moly, what a ride. If you have ever worried that you are “too much” in relationships, and you want to learn how to heal the parts of you that feel emotionally overwhelming – both with yourself – and others, then this episode is for you.

I’m responding to two listener requests today. The first question from Michaela relates to redefining gender roles and stereotypes within marriage, and the second request came in from Joe, who wants to better understand how to start owning and championing our sensitivities in a world that says we shouldn’t be that way.

Doom-scrolling, Netflix-binging, emotional eating, over-working, going in for that extra glass of wine…we all have unhelpful habits of numbing ourselves, choosing distraction, and trying to cope with uncomfortable feelings and overwhelm. But how do we begin shifting away from those habits (because they can be so compelling), and start to choose things that actually nourish us? That’s what this episode is all about!
