There’s a hot topic in the dating and relationships arena that I rarely mention. I haven’t really had an episode dedicated to attachment styles. So I’ve brought on a therapist, love coach, and Irresistible Woman podcast host Madeline Charles to talk about attachment theory and how to overcome insecure attachment styles. In part one of this two-parter, we discuss the three main styles and she gives...

Getting over your ex isn’t the hardest part of a break-up. Getting over what the relationship meant to you is. If you’re not honest enough with yourself to do the deep work needed, you’ll never know if an old relationship is still holding you back in your love life. Sharon has done a lot of deep work and created coping mechanisms to try and move on from her last relationship, but something’s still...

Do you feel pretty or skinny enough? If not, you’re not alone. I’ve had clients tell me they feel they need to lose weight before they can date the people they really want to date or have sex with their skinnier partner. So in today’s episode, I talk about the link between worthiness and body image. Specifically, I want to share details about my own bumpy road to body acceptance and how changing m...

Trouble with attracting men who can’t commit is by far the #1 issue I hear about. Today, I have a coaching call with Cici who’s frustrated about dating emotionally unavailable men. In this episode, we focus in on her relationship with her father because while she as an adult has come to terms with her dad in many ways, it turns out that her inner child hasn’t and still suffers from an unhealed wou...

Every day during the next two and half weeks, you’ll learn about some of my favorite podcasts covering relationships and personal growth. These experts have their own experiences, specialties, and flavors that can support you in discovering how to feel worthy in love. Speaking of feeling worthy... worthiness and confidence often g...

As of the recording of today’s episode, there’s an ongoing crisis with COVID and Afghanistan. These current events might have you feeling a little down. Even though I can’t know what the state of the world will be by the time you listen to this episode, I wanted to lighten things up and talk about something a bit more fun. I also think a little fun is appropriate with my upcoming podcast tour fast...

Over the last few months, I’ve frequently mentioned pop culture and how it has impacted our love lives. It affects people’s perceptions of men, women, love, sex, and relationships. It can also enforce beliefs and normalize power dynamics between men and women, some of which are unhealthy. In this episode, I discuss one particular unhealthy dynamic involving The Bachelorette’s Katie Thurston and Gr...

No matter the age, everyone believes that they’re too old for something. Twenty and thirty-something year-olds think they’re getting too long in the tooth to get married and start a family. Those in their 40s or 50s believe they’re too old to meet someone new, and seniors just plain think they’re too old for everything, period. Time’s always running out! While this doesn’t have to be true, so many...

I get asked about matchmaking recommendations a lot. But not only did I have no one to recommend, I honestly didn’t even know if I liked the concept...until I met Sarah Louise Ryan. Sarah is an international matchmaker from the United Kingdom who I formed a bond with earlier this year. I like her approach because she combines the practical with the intuitive.  So with her focus on outer work and m...

Humans are complex. We're good at achieving workplace or financial goals or any area of our lives with clear, linear steps. But we stumble when it comes to personal development or relationships. There’s too much nuance, emotion, and involvement of other people in those areas to follow the linear path, yet we try to anyway. My coaching call with Patty today really highlights this. She wants to know...

What do Britney Spears, Meghan Markle, Rachel Lindsay, and I have in common? Believe it or not, you have it in common too. In today’s episode, I reveal an insidious influence on all women’s thoughts and emotions while in the dating phase and how it keeps us stuck in behavioral patterns that affect our relationships. Being aware of it and keeping it in mind is the first step to unconventionally sta...

Attachment theory books are popular, and they’re mentioned to me all the time. I think attachment style and personality quizzes can be powerful tools for healing and learning about yourself. However, they can also hold you back by preventing you from gaining clarity around what you actually need to heal, grow, and shift your relationship patterns. Today’s coaching call with Sabrina reveals this pa...

Do you repeatedly attract emotionally unavailable people? Or are you the type to push away, get bored with, or look for something wrong with emotionally available partners? Depending on the amount of inner work you’ve done, you might have some emotional availability tendencies worth looking at. But when I ask people about this, I get a lot of different reactions. So in this episode, I discuss what...

At some point, you’ve probably heard something like, “You need to strengthen your intuition.” Well, I’m not a believer in the need for us to find or strengthen our intuition. We just need to uncover the noise we pick up from our family, pop culture, and society at large that keeps it hidden from us. Today’s episode is all about trusting yourself and getting beyond the noise. In this coaching call...

If you feel you lack feminine energy, you might be conflating it with something else altogether. Recently, my client Amanda asked about how to bring more feminine energy into her love life. But we discovered that the issue isn’t really about femininity but how to let go of needing to be perfect. Perfectionism can feel like a masculine energy even though it isn’t. So in this episode, I walk Amanda...

I conducted a community survey last month, and one response really stood out to me. This person said they want to meet someone organically. However, they also appreciate the ability to pre-screen people online for compatible values and interests. While dating apps have their advantages, I don’t believe using them in this way guarantees you’ll reach your goal for a deep, romantic relationship. Toda...

Do you tend to rush into relationships and eventually find yourself overcommitted and losing self-confidence in your pursuit to make your partner happy? When you’re single, everything else can be going great: your work, your health, and your life generally. It seems like the perfect scenario to add someone special to the mix. But when you finally meet someone, you suddenly want to drop everything...

Do you ever wonder how you're going to meet your “the one”? Does it occur to you that there is a possibility that you two have already met at some point? If these ideas have crossed your mind, let me tell you that there is a great chance that you are already on your way to meeting the love of your life. I would be glad to share with you the steps I took to get to mine. There are several places whe...

Are online dating platforms starting to feel forced and unnatural to you? Are you someone who appreciates the traditional meet-and-greet experience? If you are looking to meet someone in a more organic scenario, I can tell you that there are lots and lots of ways that you can build your community to create more chances for serendipity to happen in your favor. I want to guide you through this proce...

What can you do to create the off-chance of meeting someone new today? Believe it or not, you have a lot more control than you think. If you, like many of my clients, want to meet people off the apps and in the wild, then I challenge you to create your own serendipitous moments. “Serendipity” is defined as “the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.” I help my...

Are you tired of spending the last year and a half at home and just want to get back into the dating world offline ?  While I don’t think it matters whether you meet your partner online or offline, so many people tell me they want to have serendipitous dating experiences and discover partners organically.  If you feel that meeting people in person is the best fit for you too, then I’ve created thi...

It’s time for us to talk about the dark side of personal development. If you’re in the self-help industry as a coach or any kind of healer or helper, then this episode might make you feel a little uncomfortable, but I’ll remind you that this feeling can catalyze growth. What I’m sharing reflects both my experience being on the receiving end of the dark side of personal development, as well as the...

Welcome to episode 268 of the Love Live Connection podcast. If you feel like you lose yourself in relationships, struggle with worthiness or boundaries, or become a chameleon, then this episode is for you. Ashley has been feeling lost in many areas of her life but especially when she starts a new relationship. In my coaching conversation with her, I help her work through her feelings of self-worth...

Welcome to episode 267 of the Love Live Connection podcast. Today’s topic probably applies to most, if not everyone, who listens to this show. One thing that comes up in dating and relationships is the different levels of interest in personal development and growth. One person will often be more interested in this area than the other, and sometimes that can create real relationship conflict or som...
