I Think I Like You

Have you ever read a bit of dating advice, only to implement what it said and have it either a) not work, or b) make you feel worse about yourself? #raiseshand To be clear, this episode is not about throwing anyone under the bus, nor saying that MY advice is perfect. Hardly. Rather, it's to illuminate the landscape of dating wisdom, how most of it only scratches the surface of our intimacy and rom...

I'm delighted to bring my husband, James, back on the podcast today for an open conversation around what I believe to be one of the most crucial areas of understanding within a relationship — your varied background and history. Your childhood, yes, but we pull the lens out a bit father than that. This is one of many conversations I hope to have of this kind.  For me, when I was seeking a partner,...

A short preview of what's coming this fall. Work with me Privately Connect on Instagram Website Podcast Production by James Jorge

When my dear friend Katherine came to me a few months back and said "I did mushrooms and I need   to tell you what came up," it wasn’t the mushrooms that had me going; it was the way this modality fit within the larger frame of her work on herself. So often I speak with folks about how tired they are — tired of reading all the books and doing all the therapy and trying all the things. They do and...

I've had the pleasure of knowing Kris for over a decade, and boy have our lives changed within that timespan. What began as two fellow food bloggers bumping into each other at events in the city (pre-Instagram days), has transitioned into a know ya from afar digital connection, with those early influencer roots. Recently turned 40, Kris has had her fair share of ups and downs in relationships (whi...

On a recent walk with my pups, I was marinating on the shared habits and characteristics of my clients who are now in long term relationships. It got me thinking about the inverse behavior — less of what people actually do and more of what people don't do that blocks them from growth and change. Not just in relationships, but in any area of their life.  In todays episode I'm digging into those fou...

I meet so many women —often in their later 30s— who say something along the lines of "I focused on my career, that's why I'm single." They're no stranger to hard work. They're the quintessential over achiever and they've been that way for as long as they can remember. But is their "focus on work," really the reason they're still single? This isn't about pointing fingers or laying blame, this is ab...

I've spent the past decade trying everything from traditional sex therapy to "yoni massage," (yes, that's a thing), to bring more pleasure and freedom not just into my sexual experience, but my body.  Nothing has been as transformative as Ishtara. Join me for an intimate conversation with the founder to learn more about the practice, her story (what brought her to this work), and how it's played s...

On today's podcast I'm chatting with author and master life coach, Nancy Levin. I was introduced to Nancy by my own coach years ago, via her best selling book Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free. I have purchased this book — I sh*t you not— 22 times for 22 different clients. And I have to be honest, I'm sitting here thinking: I know there are more clients— why haven't I sent it to them all?! It's...

Amy Nobile is the founder of Love,  Amy , a dating coaching service that marries the holistic view of human-to-human energy and connection with the technology of modern-day dating. We had so much fun when I was guest on her podcast , we decided to do it again, but this time as a listener Q+A episode.   Here are the questions we dig into:  What's our perspective on manifesting soulful, romantic lov...

" Real love stories are inconvenient. As a culture we’ve thrown away romanticism in favor of extreme practicality. " Earlier the year, on the heals of my convo w/ Dani Beinstein , we said "Let's connect in August and record again late summer!" And left it at that. But then, in the last few months, the consistencies arising in myself and my clients was so profound, I had to reach out again. Those c...

In light of some new one to one coaching spots opening up (pssst, I'd love to work with you!), in today's episode I'm walking you through the three consistent patterns and habits I see in clients who are finding flow in their dating life. By flow I mean, They're finding ease in the process of dating They're not wracked with a scarcity mindset or fear of never meeting someone — they've truly surren...

SETTLING. We're so rattled by it. We want rules and directions. Just tell me what I should and shouldn't ok in a partner in order to have it all work out perfectly! In order to meet someone sooner rather than later! The thing is, knowing what we do and don't need in a partner is such an inside job. The more we look elsewhere for the answers, the more we drive ourselves crazy.  If you often find yo...

On the heels of last week’s episode that blew the pants off everything we know to be true about anxious attachment style, this week’s episode is very much a part two. Why is it that those of us who are most hungry for partnership, most hungry to connect deeply with someone, keep finding ourselves in brief, one off, go nowhere scenarios, or relationships where we completely lose ourselves? It all h...

Nearly a decade ago, on a the heels of life-altering breakup, swimming in self help, I landed upon the book Attached . Like many people, I was eager to take the quiz and find out "What was my attachment style???" But more so, how could knowing this information release me from my pain? I don't think I really needed the quiz to confirm I had an anxious attachment style, but even once it did — it did...

Do you have a crush you just can't let go of? It's as if they've got their proverbial teeth sunk soooooo far into you? Maybe they live in another state, maybe they're already coupled up, maybe you don't have the same life goals— and STILL, you're so into them! It's almost as if they haunt you in a way. In this episode, I'm digging into not just the nature of this type of crush, but also the greate...

I Think I Like the Course: Peep the Curriculum 6 Things That Made All the Difference When I was Single Do you get the urge to stalk? Maybe he's linked his Instagram to his dating profile, or maybe you just know enough to suss out his account (and it happens to be public!) because, well, it's 2023. Here's the tricky thing though: The information we glean from stalking ends up consisting more of our...

This episode was specifically recorded in follow up to the following reel I posted earlier this month. In the reel I talked about how if, in your family, your mom shifted her career (either took a step back or fully gave it up) in order to take care of the family — even if she didn't express any disdain for this, the experience can impact your dating life today. This episode breaks down the latter...

Why do we love to obsess over men who are nice, fun, kind, maybe there's a lot on paper that's just so damn good— and yet it just isn't fully there.  I know that dance and I know it well.  In follow up to Tuesday's ep from two weeks back all about my journey with emotionally unavailable men, this week I'm digging into: Why it's so hard to let go of these almost there connections What we fear slipp...

Where do you share your deepest truths? Where are you able to breathe life into the things you feel but are afraid to utter? When my retreat co-captain, Catherine Zack and I, were discussing, "How do we explain to people what this retreat is about? What it's meant for?" we realized we had to bring it life by having our own deep, revealing, heart-felt conversations. So for our first one, we're digg...

We tend to think just because we want a relationship that we're emotionally available. But one does't automatically equate to the other. Most women I work with, despite their deep-seated desires for partnership, aren't emotionally available themselves. What we typically pin on men who, "don't want to settle down," exists in trickier ways within ourselves.  If you find you consistently attract men...

Dani Beinstein has been a long time follow favorite of mine, largely for her unparalleled wisdom and grace, steeped in astrology and so much more. This episode begins with the question: Why do our conscious desires (I want a relationship!) always clash with our subconscious need (I fear intimacy)? And why can that be so hard to see? In this episode we get into: How Dani's rich life is exactly her—...

This conversation with brilliant career coach Megan Hellerer was so rich, I found myself having to hold back from scribbling notes whilst recording.  Megan specializes in helping under-fulfilled overachievers build work and lives that are deeply aligned. In this episode she takes us behind the scenes of her own story and journey which is rife with so much wisdom! In this episode we get into: The w...
