Welcome to episode 266 of the Love Live Connection podcast. This episode originally aired back in 2019, so if you’ve been listening for a while some of this might sound familiar. I know a lot of people experience a dating fizzle where things seem to be going well, then all of the sudden the other person feels a little more distant. Or they don’t want the same thing you want and the relationship fi...

Welcome to episode 265 of the Love Live Connection podcast! I often talk about how some gaslight-y things go on in the world of personal development, but Amy Smith doesn’t do that. I think the way she teaches about communication, vulnerability, and boundaries is her sweet spot. She also inspires me when she talks about her 20+ year marriage, which is why I’ve invited her as a guest today. If you f...

Welcome to episode 264 of the Love Live Connection podcast! My caller today, Amy, has two issues. She keeps finding herself in the same pattern over and over again, settling for people and relationships she knows she doesn’t want long-term. She also has a fear of being in a committed life-long partnership, even though it’s what she desires. Self-sabotage like this is more common than you think and...

Welcome to episode 263 of the Love Live Connection podcast. A lot of advice you hear for getting over an ex comes from not just what we say to each other, but also our pop culture. But it can leave you feeling stuck and thinking it’s impossible to do, or you’ll put yourself in a similar situation in your next relationship. So today’s episode is all about getting over an ex, specifically three mist...

Welcome to episode 262 of the Love Live Connection podcast. Today’s guest, T.J, wants to know that her partner is as serious as she is about commitment. But I need to give a trigger warning: she and I discuss abuse that she’s endured, and her experiences with past abusive relationships affect how she approaches her current relationship. We don’t go into many details about it, but we do bring it up...

Welcome to this bonus episode of the Love Live Connection podcast! I just want to share one quick thought today based on a question that’s been coming up a lot with my clients: how does money work in a relationship? Who should pay on the first date? Here’s the truth. 3:59 - First date recommendation and having a money conversation for future dates 6:05 - Why it actually might not be fair sharing e...

Welcome to episode 261 of the Love Live Connection podcast. I’ve brought clients on the show before and often tell them that you have to reach mini goals along the way to reach the big goal. So it’s not a failure if you’re not in the relationship that’s going to last forever by the time we’re done working together. Sometimes you just need to get the confidence to start dating again and meet real p...

Welcome to episode 260 of the Love Live Connection podcast! Sandra is really struggling with anxiety and forgiving herself for mistakes she’s made in past relationships. She’s also taking the unfair brunt of the blame for her relationships ending. We’re gonna get into why this is happening to her but also get into the bigger picture of wider things at play subconsciously. It takes a few minutes to...

Welcome to episode 259 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How I Found Love Part 6. Previously, I finally fulfilled a dream of living in a big city, had moved to Washington D.C., and was excited to meet a nice Jewish boy. Things were going really well, but then I took a couple of steps back when I found myself crazy about a guy who wined and dined me. The connection wasn’t really there, so he bro...

Welcome to episode 258 of the Love Live Connection podcast! Did you lose a parent or other close relative early in life? Is it hard for you to trust both yourself and God/Universe and other things outside of you? Perhaps you’re always waiting for something bad to happen or have unhealthy habits like drinking or eating too much, binge-watching lots of TV, using drugs, or doing anything that suppres...

Welcome to episode 257 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How I Found Love Part 5. Last time we left off, I discussed how dating went completely on the back burner while working on the Obama campaign. During that year, I worked like crazy and wasn’t really taking care of myself. When the campaign concluded, I didn’t really regain my energy, so I changed my approach to food and exercise. I reinve...

Welcome to episode 256 of the Love Live Connection podcast! I’m always talking about, thinking about, doing, and coaching my clients on inner child work. But I know it can feel a little awkward. So if you like the idea of doing inner child work but have misgivings for whatever reason, then this coaching conversation with Debra will be helpful for you to listen to. I walk her through how she can ge...

Welcome to episode 255 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How I Found Love Part 4. Previously in part 3, after hitting a low point, things in Charleston were beginning to look up.

Welcome to episode 254 of the Love Live Connection podcast! This is the second coaching episode I have around pandemic dating. As you’ll learn in this call with Angela, the pandemic isn’t really the problem. She’s had quite a few relationships that started off well but ended shortly thereafter and can’t seem to get past the first date. During our call, we delve into her love life before the pandem...

Welcome to episode 253 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How I Found Love Part 3. You might remember that after breaking up with my college sweetheart, I moved to Jerusalem for grad school and had two back-to-back relationships with people who didn’t want to be with me. Despite my love for travel and living abroad, it was one of the darkest times in my life and look back on it now with mixed em...

Welcome to episode 252 of the Love Live Connection podcast. This episode really highlights why inner child work is so incredibly important. So much of our romantic life has to do with us replaying out old wounds and issues from mom and dad (or lack thereof) and childhood. My caller today Mariela is doing all the things--swiping, going on dates, trying to be open and vulnerable, trusting other peop...

Welcome to a special Valentine’s Day episode of the Love Live Connection podcast! A lot of times I hear women say that they’re deserving of love and love themselves, they know that they’re a great catch, they give themselves bubble baths, and so on. All of these things are great. Yet, when they’re in a relationship the love isn’t there; there’s murky boundaries, they’re not feeling very supported...

Then, I talk about my romantic adventures living abroad as a grad student, including facing denial and desperation regarding a guy I was crushing on hard , and seeking help...

Welcome to episode 250 of the Love Live Connection podcast. This is going to be a really good episode to share with a friend. If there’s anything that’s a catalyst for late-night Googling or reaching out to me, it’s a breakup, especially one they can’t get over and feel they should because it happened a long time ago or the relationship wasn’t super serious or long-lasting anyway. Getting over a b...

Welcome to episode 249 of the Love Live Connection podcast. I’ve brought back my good friend, Veronica Perretti. If you’ve been listening for awhile, you know she’s one of my favorite astrologers. I have her on the show a few times a year, just to give us little astro updates so we can know the energy and its effects on politics, society, and our lives (including our love lives). This is a longer...

Welcome to episode 248 of the Love Live Connection podcast. Today, I’m having a coaching call with Antoinette. As you listen, keep the following questions in mind: Do you have a habit of escaping certain parts of your life, especially when things feel uncertain or chaotic? Do you check out through travel, work, exercise, Netflix, or something else? Does a part of you believe that a relationship wo...

Welcome to episode 247 of the Love Live Connection podcast. As I acclimate to new parenthood, I’m re-running a series that originally aired on my podcast almost four years ago.  It’s a 6-part series about how I met my husband, beginning with my first boyfriend in sixth grade. I share with you the ups, downs, and everything in between. For many years in my dating life, a healthy and long-term partn...

Welcome to episode 246 of the Love Live Connection podcast. In today’s coaching episode, we’re joined by Nicole to discuss whether to follow the head or the heart when they contradict each other in relationships. It’s really her 11-year old self asking for help. A history of perfectionism, OCD, seeking the approval of family (especially her parents), and a religious upbringing all combine in her o...

Welcome to a bonus episode of the Love Live Connection podcast! This feels extra special because this is the first episode I’ve recorded since giving birth. As much as this is my business and livelihood, it’s also my creative outlet. So it’s really good to be back podcasting and working with old and new clients again. Usually, I look back and share some highs and lows (professionally and personall...
