This is a replay from 7/11/22 where we talk about how we sometimes try to be "low maintenance" because you think a partner will not accept or love you if you require work. We should never settle for the bare minimum efforts in a relationship because you have just gotten used to what that feels like. Require that both of you are continually nurturing and building on the relationship. Ask for what you need. Ask for what you want. Ask for what you deserve. Be high maintenance.

Since we spoke last week about the mother/sister wound and the importance of a group of trustworthy and supporting women in our lives...I decided to replay a listener favorite originally aired in 2022 called Girlfriends. Enjoy!

On this episode I have our first male guest, Rob Roseman, one of the founders of WTF Divorce and host of the podcast Divorce Doesn't Suck. We get a male prospective on divorce and the ins and outs of co-parenting. No matter if you are the male or the female, divorce is tough and comes with a lot of new feelings. We learn how he navigated this transition and all about the platform of humor and support (WTF Divorce) was brought about from it. I can't wait for you to hear this conversation.

You can find Rob on instagram @WTFdivorce and listen to Divorce Doesn't Suck on your favorite podcast listening platform.

At the Day Retreat last weekend, we did belly dance to bring out the soft, feminine, sensual parts of ourselves and it was so beautiful to see the women open up and move in this way. Belly dance was something I took up after my divorce and was a part of me healing my wounded feminine energy. Sometimes, when you experience trauma or abuse, especially when you feel it was done to you BECAUSE you are a woman, you can start to shut those soft and vulnerable parts of yourself down in order to protect yourself and to appear tougher, stronger and harder. Once we can begin to heal and lean back into those softer, sensual, vulnerable parts of ourselves....we feel safer being a woman. We can be confident being vulnerable and feminine. This is what I learned and WOW what a difference it has made in my life. I brought back this episode (aired 7/18/22) in honor of the energy at the retreat. It was also a listener favorite, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

In this episode we chat about the value in taking time to be single. How being single allows you time to reflect, heal, grow, and move on without future. I totally love this message and hope it resonates.

Thank you for listening!

This chat with Dating Coach Andrea Leigh was so good I am bringing it to you in two parts, so you pay attention. She lets us in on some dating tips and we also talk about how to care for yourself while dating OR being single. In Part 2 we go deep into the world of online dating. It's a good conversation to listen in on whether you are dating or not. This was a real heart to heart between 2 friends and you will love her as much as I do.
