This episode is different.
It's raw!
It's real!
Its the truth behind why I teach what I teach now.
This past year, I lost my marriage. I lost family. I lost the version of me that kept abandoning herself just to feel loved.
But in the wreckage, I found something more powerful than any relationship: emotional sovereignty.
If you've ever stayed too long in a relationship that drained you…
If you've ever performed, over-given, or disappeared in love just to feel worthy…
If you've ever been told you're “too much” while begging to feel like enough…This episode is for you.
You’ll hear:
The personal story I’ve never shared this fully until now
What emotional neglect really looks like inside a “functioning” relationship
Why people-pleasers confuse loyalty with self-abandonment
And how the hardest year of my life became the blueprint for everything I teach now
This isn’t a strategy session—it’s a reckoning.
Because healing isn’t about finding the right partner.
It’s about finally choosing yourself.
In this episode, I sit down with Lauren and Nathalie, the creative minds behind Her+Her, to delve into the complexities of relationships, breakups, and personal growth. Join us as we discuss the crucial elements of building and maintaining healthy relationships and the importance of emotional safety.
Throughout our conversation, Lauren and Nathalie highlight the necessity of prioritizing your emotional well-being and maintaining a balance between personal growth and relationship dynamics.

In this revealing episode, we journey into the intriguing world of attachment styles. Joining me is the charismatic and knowledgeable Kara Laricks, a respected dating coach and matchmaker from Three Day Rule. With her deep understanding of human connection, Kara helps us unravel the complex tapestry of attachment theory. We delve into the various attachment styles - secure, anxious-preoccupied, dismissive-avoidant, and fearful-avoidant - discussing how each can impact our relationships and personal happiness. Understanding your attachment style, we suggest, is not about placing yourself in a box but about recognizing patterns and harnessing this awareness for personal growth and healthier relationships. Importantly, we also explore how those with insecure attachment styles can not only survive but genuinely thrive in their relationships. Kara shares valuable insights on how recognizing and understanding your attachment style can guide you towards more meaningful, fulfilling connections. We also discuss strategies for cultivating security within yourself and your relationships, regardless of your attachment style. The highlight of our conversation is a frank discussion on how to navigate a relationship when you and your partner have differing attachment styles. From communication tactics to empathy exercises, we offer practical advice that can help bridge the gap and foster a deeper bond. Whether you're single and navigating the dating scene or in a relationship and looking to deepen your connection, understanding attachment styles can transform the way you approach love. Tune in for an insightful exploration of how the heart bonds and the ways we can use this knowledge to enrich our love lives. You might be surprised to learn how these invisible strings of attachment are shaping your love story.

In today's episode, we'll be unpacking a topic many of us grapple with on our quest for love: the elusive "spark" versus the steady, soulful "slow burn". Often, in our search for romantic connection, we're taught to chase that immediate, electrifying chemistry. But is that instantaneous spark always the best indicator of lasting love? We delve into why the "spark" might not be your best bet when it comes to long-term happiness. Sure, it's exhilarating, but can it be blinding, too? I'll be sharing my thoughts on how the pursuit of an immediate spark can lead us astray, causing us to overlook potentially profound connections. Instead, I propose a shift in focus towards the "slow burn" - a gradual kindling of feelings that can grow into a stable, passionate flame over time. We'll explore the benefits of this approach, including the depth of connection, the discovery of shared values, and the development of emotional intimacy that can only unfold with time. I'll also offer practical advice on how to cultivate the "slow burn" in your dating journey. From mindful communication to appreciating the beauty of the mundane, we'll discuss how to nourish a connection that can withstand the trials of time. If you're tired of chasing sparks that fizzle out and ready to ignite a love that lasts, this episode is for you. Let's transform your approach to dating and open up new horizons in your love life. Tune in and let's set your heart ablaze with a slow burn love story.
"My ex was a Leo, I'll never date another Leo again." "I'm not compatible with a Cancer". Many of us at some point have used astrology to determine how and IF we will date someone. But, are we really using astrology the right way?? In this enlightening episode, we dive deep into the cosmos with a very special guest, Deb from Queerstrology. As an influential voice in the Queer community and a renowned expert in astrology, Deb brings a unique perspective to the celestial conversation about how to really use astrology when dating. We go beyond the well-known sun, moon and rising signs.

Whether you're a seasoned astrology aficionado or a skeptical newcomer, this episode will inspire you to see the stars in a whole new way. Join us on this cosmic journey, and you might just find that your love story is written in the stars. Tune in and let's explore the universe of love together!

How do I know if I am ready to date again? That is one of the most common questions I get from people all over the world.

We can be paralyzed by knowing IF we are really truly ready to date. In this episode, I will give you 5 questions to ask yourself to determine if you are ready to get back into the dating pool. These questions will give you clarity of where you are right now and where you need to be to before getting back out there to date.
