And in today's episode, Coach Suzette talks about Ava Duvernay's anthology series, CHERISH THE DAY where two high school sweethearts, Sunday and Ellis, get a second chance at love.

A woman of 50 plus years revealed that she had not been in a relationship for some 10 years. And her next three words were quite telling. "Love scares me," she said. Truth be told, it is believed to be the reason why modern women have abandoned it to pursue other goals and ambitions. And sadly, why many women have convinced themselves that to choose love is to betray themselves. That's why this episode isn't full of fanciful anecdotes or passed-down pejoratives. But rather, Coach Suzette draws a distinction between what is really motivated by love and what is not. For when you know the difference, you realize that it is the absence of love that is scary. Not love itself.If after listening to this episode, you wish to talk further about your relationship challenges and how Coach Suzette helps women over 40 overcome the mental and emotional blocks preventing them from experiencing the love they desire, reach out.

When I was growing up, my parents both agreed on one thing. You can't be friends with a man because sex will always get in the way. So, the only thing I could base love on was physical attraction. You hoped that the man you were attracted to was attracted to you too. And if he was, maybe just maybe it would lead to happily ever after. With age - and a few hard knocks - Suzette has gotten wiser. And it is that wisdom that she brings to whether physical attraction or friendship is more important in a relationship.If after listening to this episode, you wish to reach out to Suzette, here are some ways:Email: suzette.vearnon@suzettesolutions.comWebsite: suzettesolutions.com/contact-usCalendar: calendly.com/suzettevearnonWant to join her Facebook Group?

Register now at bit.ly/loveonyourtermsOne of the reasons I began seeking alternatives to conventional medicine was because prescription meds were managing symptoms but weren't addressing the problem. The same is true of emotional pain. But rather than seek professional treatment, pain relief seems to be preferred. Masked pain won't heal. In this episode, Suzette talks about the dangers of masking pain. And how, with her Love On Your Terms Masterclass, she is helping women reclaim who they really are.

Have you ever exited a romantic relationship with no wounds? I mean, like, really! I did! It was the first time it had ever happened in my adult life. And while talking with women over 35 at a recent Relationship Summit, I shared my experience to their awe. The notion of a relationship ending without hurt, pain, or heartache was pretty much unheard of.That inspired me to record today's episode. I actually recorded it last night as I contemplated the brilliant way one of participants described it. "No exit wound" she said. And so today's episode is about my experiencing exiting a relationship with no residual wounds. And get this! I moved on better than I was before I entered the relationship.

I won't ask you to raise your hand. Just some food for thought. Have you ever experienced a kind relationship ending? One where no one limped away wounded or angry? Must someone always get hurt? In today's episode, Suzette talks about the importance of kindness in relationships, draws a stark difference between being kind and being nice, and discusses four reasons for the lack of kindness when relationships end.Registration for my Love On Your Terms Masterclass is now open.

What does great love look like for you? Is it connection or autonomy? Is it having someone to come home to or having your own space? These are things that often get overlooked in the quest for romantic love. But for women over 40, these are some serious considerations.To help with those considerations, Suzette breaks down the difference between companionship vs partnership, the pros and cons, and why women need to be clear about which is the best fit for them in a relationship.Societal and family pressures are real and oftentimes it's hard to distinguish what you really want from what is expected. If you need some breathing space to consider your options and what would be best for you, schedule some time with me.

For all the complaints about what men do and what they don't, how hard it is to find a good man and all the rinsed and repeated unsatisfying relationship experiences, I have one question: Are you even willing to let a man love you? In today's episode, Suzette asks that question and talks about the barriers that get put up to receiving love. Yeah, you're open to it. Yeah, you're praying for it. But can you receive it? This episode looks underneath the hood of your car (relationships) and does a diagnostic. If this episode gets you thinking about your readiness to receive love and you think you might need help opening up, schedule a complimentary consultation with me.

Are you addicted to hard? Hard work? Hard relationships? Suzette shares how she came face to face with hard and what she discovered as a result. As you listen to today's episode, ask yourself if maybe part of what makes your relationships challenging is a conditioned preference for hard. if that's you, don't worry. You're not alone.

For so many years, sex has been a taboo topic especially in Christian circles. Instead of love and true healing, many single or single again women's needs go unaddressed and their experience of guilt, shame and humiliation continues. With this episode, Suzette offers a safe space for some candid conversation about being Christian and single. Instead of talking at women, which tends to happen all too often, or offering her a way to distract herself, Suzette opens up about her experiences and what liberated her to experience great love.If you are struggling with guilt or shame over your desire for intimate love and you feel beaten up both inside and outside, reach out.

God cares about your love life. Yet it is obvious by the way people behave that they have convinced themselves otherwise. They've convinced themselves that their hearts don't matter and that somehow their romantic lives are less important than other areas. That's why Suzette stopped by to tell you that the reason your relationships haven't worked isn't because God doesn't care. It's because He really does. If you are stuck in a cycle of failed relationships and don't know how to break free, reach out.

What if you do nothing about your love life? What if you keep going about love the same way with the same mindset? If you are in your 20's, possibly 30's, it might not be that big a deal for you. You think you have time to figure this love thing out. But if you are over 40, you realize that you don't have as much time to get it right. In this episode, Suzette invites you to take stock of your relationships, the decision that have created your current reality and your untapped super power to transform your experience of relationships. (Hint: if you can use it to create your current reality, you can use it to create a new one)If you are stuck in a cycle of self betrayal and mistrust and don't know how to break it, reach out.

After four decades of failed relationships, I've come to realize something. The whole "falling in love" thing is the ultimate self betrayal. Yet, it's been romanticized and glamorized as the path to true love. In today's episode, Suzette asks what part of yourself are you willing to betray? Referencing the Essence article about Anthony Anderson and his wife calling it quits after 22 years of marriage, Suzette shares how it is a cautionary tale for any woman who sacrifices integrity with herself for love.

Just because a man is good at dating does not make him good at mating. Yet, it's the quintessential okey doke of women who find themselves wanting more from men who, quite frankly, have no intention of being in a "relationship" with them. But it doesn't stop women from trying!That's why, in this episode, Suzette exposes the ways women try to turn men into keepers - after the fact - and recommends that they get clear about what they want instead.If you are struggling to unravel your own mixed up messed up situation, reach out.

Who decided that love is blind and so encompassing that you lose all reason and all sensibilities? Songs are written about it and movies are made about it and despite the ups, downs and sideways of it, folks keep buying into the belief that chemistry is the most important thing. In this episode, Suzette shares why, given the statistics on divorce and the longstanding consequences of love gone wrong, a different approach is needed. Rather than tell women how to navigate this generational paradigm and become more shrewdly tactical in their dating rituals, Suzette introduces her MusicMath Approach to Dating and Relating. Her signature approach is born out of her own journey out of a belief system about love that kept her stuck in an unrelenting cycle of failed relationships. If other methods and attempts at love have been unsuccessful, give my approach a try. I'd love to share it with you and how the solutions help you to break the cycle and attract great love into your life.

Despite the fight for equality and the strides women have made to get a seat at the table, one thing yet remains: women getting blamed in relationships. It doesn't matter whether the man filed for the divorce, the man is a known bad boy, the man behaved badly or the man is on social media looking sad, the woman invariably gets villified. And the media jumps on the band wagon, presenting as many pictures, social media posts, talks with someone "close" to the people involved as they can to bolster it. This ancient attitude that women are responsible for a man's happiness is alive and well. This is why Suzette goes right into the eye of it and calls it what it is: MYSOGYNY. That age old belief that a woman is wrong to think for herself and have her own ideas. The old belief that a woman's greatest title is the one her man gives her and, if he's struggling or behaving badly, it's her fault. Listen as Suzette debunks that myth, exposes the elephant and invites us to be more honorable and honest.

Despite your best efforts to get answers, do you still have unanswered questions about men and relationships? First, let me tell you, the problem isn't you. And secondly, though it's confusing as heck to go to a relationship expert who tells you one thing, then another tells you something different and, add to that, your man challenges what you've been told, there is an answer. An answer that ends the confusion, ends the second-guessing and ends your suffering.In today's episode, Suzette zeroes in on what's at the heart of the matter: not what folks are telling you but what you are hearing.

In the beginning of a budding romance, we love the texts, the phone calls, the thoughtful gestures. But, when it starts to feel excessive, it can be really overwhelming. Worst, it could be a sign that your man is needy. While there is not a one-size-fits-all when it comes to men, there are certain behaviors that Suzette urges you not to get so caught up in the euphoria that you minimize. Likewise, today's episode centers around needy men and signs you should not rationalize away, lest you find yourself entrapped.

It's not what they call you, it's what you answer to. I've heard that and this episode is the same. You have to be careful who you listen to. Who you answer to. Even your best girlfriends can give you the worst advice when it comes to your dating relationship. That's why in today's episode, she talks candidly about what we hear and how it affects a budding relationship. Strengthening weak areas often requires putting distance between you and contrary friends, especially in the early stages of getting to know someone. Suzette offers you an honest perspective and sage advice about protecting your vision of love.If you are suffering from other people's opinions and ideologies about men, love or your relationship and you need a safe place to reclaim your own feelings and definition, reach out.

It's more important to be honest than to be right. This is something I didn't know. In my community and home, being right was the goal. If you could convince someone you were right, you had won the argument. I now know that you can win the argument and lose the relationship. This episode is about the egoic need to be right. Like a skilled surgeon, Suzette cuts away all the rationales for it, what our true motivation is when we fight to be right and how it is doing the exact opposite of what we truly desire.

There is an answer to every relationship issue. The problem is you don't know what your answer is. In this episode Suzette challenges relationship advice that operates in the clever but does absolutely nothing to address the real question, "Am I enough? And if so, why?" Instead of how-to's and should-I's, Suzette zeroes in on the misdiagnoses and mis-definitions that cloud your vision and your judgment and paves the way to your Authentic Truth. Clarity is everything! If you feel so turned around in your relationship that you can't determine what to do, reach out.

Lights, camera, action...woman acting interested Take One! Isn't that what women have been taught to do since someone decided that having a man want you was the ultimate accomplishment? That's why I balked at a post I saw on Facebook urging women, "if you are interested in a man, act like you're interested." And while I fully understand the intent of the post, as a woman who spent all of her adult life trying to be good enough for the men she wanted to want her, I know that "acting interested" does not guarantee anything. Besides, it's disempowering and downright manipulative to "act" to get what you want. That's why, in this episode, Suzette rejects the premise that acting interested is good advice. Rather, she believes that "being interested" is better. It's honest! Being interested is behaving in alignment with your authentic truth. If you don't know what your authentic truth is, you're not alone. Many high functioning women struggle with it. You've been taught to accomplish. That's different from relating. That's why relationships can be challenging. To help, Suzette offers a one-time free consultation for women to help them to connect with their authentic truth and be present in their relationships.

Are you desperate for someone to love you? Before you give me the strong woman roll of the eye that says, "I ain't desperate for nobody," let's look more closely. Many times, desperation is hiding behind that poker face and seemingly unbothered stance. In this episode, Suzette examines the desperation for answers, for validation, to feel alright again after failed relationships and the Destiny Vision that's required to heal.Is something inside of you declaring a different experience of love and have been praying for what to do? Who to connect with? Then I invite you to reach out to me.

Closure. Let's talk about it and why not having closure isn't because the guy who jilted you won't tell you why. Let's talk about why closure has nothing to do with anybody else but you.

Love will make you do crazy things? This was Will Smith's conclusion as he gave remarks after having received his first ever Oscar for Best Actor. An achievement soured by his bizarre waltz onto the Oscar stage, slapping Chris Rock only a few moments earlier. Although there has been much speculation as to his reasons, one thing's for sure, love had absolutely nothing to do with it. Though Will's behaviors were front row center for all the world to see, ours are more insidious. That's why, in this episode, Suzette shines light on the distorted thinking that fuels misattribution, a fancy word for assumptions, and the subterfuge of misplaced anger. But she doesn't stop there. She offers a step by step healthier alternative. If after listening to today's episode, you feel that distorted thinking is sabotaging your success at love, reach out.

Enabler defined is someone or something that encourages or enables negative or self-destructive behavior in another. The irony is most enablers don't mean any harm. Nevertheless, them "being there" for the one they love prevents their loved one from discovering their own power and walking in its authority. God is not an enabler.In this episode, Suzette exposes the crutches that keep people of faith from doing their part in resolving their relationships challenges.

How did you go from being happy and self-assured to not knowing who you are anymore? In this episode, I share how growing up in a patriarchal approval-seeking culture has conditioned even the most powerful women to lose themselves in relationships. By exposing two ways this happens, I hope to shake you from "waiting" on a man's yes to owning your no. If you haven't listened to last week's episode, "I See You", I suggest that you do.

The cry of unrequited love is SEE ME! I want you to see me as "The One" you've been looking for, waiting for, praying for! When you don't feel seen, it can be the loneliest feeling ever. That's why Season 4 of my Enough Factor Podcast will focus on you, the unseen. The sadness behind your smile, the dissatisfaction that you feel in your relationships. And not just affirming your frustration, but offering you answers. What helped me to go from failed attempts at love to experiencing real love every single day (without selling my soul to have it). So if the relationship book you just read about loving yourself hasn't really hit the spot or the relationship conference you just attended didn't give you the answer you needed, hang with me. Grab a seat and let me take you behind the scenes of my relationship journey and how I navigated my way from loneliness and suffering for love to experiencing a love greater than I could wish for, pray for or even imagine was possible for me. Over the next 20 or so episodes, I'm going to share with you the things I thought I knew and thought were right and why they weren't. I'm going to share with you what kept me in a cycle of betrayal and mistrust and how I got out. I'm going to share with you why I kept attracting unavailable men and what had to change in order for me to attract (and recognize) great love into my life. But most of all, I'm going to share how you can stop your bad experience of relationships and discover what truly makes you enough. In the meantime, I've got some free stuff I'd love to give you.

Just mention women and hair and you'll get an almost visceral reaction. Why? Because I don't know a woman alive who doesn't have a hair story. And for Black women, it's been especially complicated. Generationally, Black women have been taught that their natural texture is nasty, dirty, unruly and unattractive. But over the past few years, there's been a migration towards embracing it. That's why I reached out to Award-winning Hair Designer and Business Woman Miki Wright who has dedicated her life to changing the face of the hair and beauty industry but also empowering other Hair Professionals to build thriving businesses. With Miki, I was able to go beyond hair care tips and styling tricks to the soft underbelly of how hair is attached to feelings of worth and enoughness.ABOUT MIKIMiki Wright went from struggling Stylist to booked solid in months, not years. She then went on to own a salon where she trained her Stylists how to duplicate her success. Wright was one of the first Owners of a full service Salon and Day Spa in the country.

How many of you knew somewhere down deep that your relationship wasn't really what you wanted but because he wanted you, you overrode your intuition? That was me in all my adult relationships until my late 40's. It wasn't for the lack of information out there about relationships. In response, Relationship Coach Tonika Maria said something that made me fall back in my chair. "What are you pretending not to know?", she asked! It was such a penetrating question that a surface answer just wouldn't do. Likewise, this episode goes deeply into the tendency in women to ignore the obvious especially when it comes to matters of the heart.ABOUT TONIKATonika Maria is an author, women's life group leader & speaker who loves to use her passion for practical wisdom and truth to help Christian women successfully navigate tough relationship transitions and “wilderness seasons” with peace, clarity and greater levels of wholeness.From her own wilderness season of seeking to be married without being whole in Christ first, she learned the hard way on how to walk in wholeness and completeness in Christ. Because of that, her desire is to help women become rooted, grounded, fixed and founded in the love of God before seeking to be married.Her gift of writing had been well-developed for many years, however, it was the unexpected and untimely death of her father which served as a wake-up call for her to get real, be healed and move on from a dead-end relationship so that she could fully walk in her purpose and destiny and no longer waste time. Her main purpose is to help bring clarity for women who are struggling, anxious, and confused by helping them to walk into their destinies with wholeness and freedom from dead-end relationships.MENTIONSShannon Evette, https://www.facebook.com/shannon.tanner2“Busy and Dizzy” (Minister Rodeco Roberts)https://www.facebook.com/rudeco.robertsDominating vs Desolate WomanCaptivating (book by John and Stasi Eldredge)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008745BTG/Wellness For The Modern Woman WorkshopOctober 16, 2021, 10:00am EasternThe Wellness Craze StudioClayton, NChttps://www.thewellnesscraze.com/event-details/oct-16-wellness-workshop-presents-wellness-for-the-modern-womanCoffee & Conversations September 25, 2021, 9:00am EasternFacebook LIVE: https://fb.me/e/2ssuAypgHYouTube LIVE: https://youtu.be/EMNQJaxs57kIGTV: https://www.instagram.com/yourcoachsuzette/channel/Get on Suzette's mailing listhttp://www.suzettesolutions.com/contact-us/OTHER WAYS TO CONNECT WITH TONIKAWebsite: https://tonikabreeden.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TonikaBreedenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/getrealbehealed/LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/tonikamariaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ladytmaria.breeden/CREDITSMusic by DH The Composer https://linktr.ee/dhthecomposerCover Design by Odyssey Administrative Services LLC http://odysseyadministrativeservices.comCover Photo from gallery of royalty free photos on Pixteller.com

Back when I was growing up the ideal family was the Cleavers in the popular 1957 television sitcom, Leave It to Beaver. But the truth is families aren't generally like that. People are flawed. And flawed parents make flawed decisions that create flawed environments. And sadly, though it is normal to desire a loving mutually supportive relationship with mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins and so on, sometimes that is not possible. To dive more deeply, I invited Certified Transformation Life Coach, Teshubiyah Elias of The Growth Project who says “Yes, they are my family, but I am my family too.” ABOUT TESHUBIYAHTeshubiyah Elias, founder of The Growth Project and Coach to women who have experienced trauma, is herself a survivor of a life of trauma from the time she was a toddler. On Instagram, she is very candid about the challenge of pursuing health and wellness yet surrounded by family members whose development has been complicated by addiction and incarceration. Daily, she chooses her emotional health and wellbeing over the blind obedience of her toddler and 13 year old self. Her discovery of her purpose happened as she shared her experiences openly on social media. This led to women asking her questions like how did you survive this, how did you deal with that, and sharing their experiences of trauma too. It was their vulnerability and deep desire for help that inspired her to get even more serious about her growth. She now assists women through the healing process by encouraging them to confront their pain, realize that they are not alone, and through communication with others, to feel hope. Her Solutions-Focused Coaching formula is Self Awareness, Self Acceptance, & Execution. She believes that Through Self-Accountability, Intentional Healing and having the tough conversations, you can CHANGE THE NARRATIVE!

The modern woman, defined, is someone who goes after what she wants without asking for permission or apologizing for it. She doesn't wait for a man's approval or blessing. She goes for her dreams. While that may sound empowered, in theory, the way you go after something speaks volumes. All too often, I see high achievers chase what belongs to someone else. I see the aspirationally successful run through caution lights and stop signs to have what amounts to someone else's definition of success. Then when they arrive there, they are disappointed that it didn't give them what they really desired. Today's episode examines this success trap. The ups, the downs, the sideways of trying to live up to someone else's definition and the cost to your soul's joy. ABOUT MEI transformed a temp position into a business in less than a year. By all intents and purposes, she was successful. Yet, over the subsequent 7 years, she felt trapped. What was she missing? She authored 3 books, launched 2 more businesses, discovered her purpose and finally found her Mr. Right, yet none of it brought true contentment. It wasn't until what she built fell apart that she found her missing piece. And now, this Life and Relationship Solutions Coach helps achievement-driven women redefine what makes them enough, on their own terms, so they can experience love and life in a brand new way.

What is your definition of a “good woman”? Would your answer be different if I asked you “what is a good man?” Do you hold yourself to the same standard? If not, your definition of a good woman needs an overhaul. In this episode, Suzette exposes the blind spots of ambition and some of the misinformation that has been passed down from one ill-advised generation to another. Instead of continuing to pander the old definitions of our fore-parents, this age of enlightenment requires us to write a bolder, more robustly authentic definition.ABOUT METhis episode is a reach back to 2015, two months after I got married. After having 2 failed marriages and subsequent situationships with unavailable men, I recognized that my ideal of what made me a good woman was not holding up in the revealing light of relationships. If I wanted a real deal good relationship, I was going to have to let go of the old definitions handed down to me from the “strong” women in my life and write a new definition more suited to what I wanted my relationship experience to be. There was a poise and dignity that I wanted to embody but wasn't taught. Furthermore, even though I lived in a two-parent household, I did not know how to be in a good relationship. So, my 40s were about dismantling the old and erecting new definitions that I could hold myself accountable to. Because of that, I don't do fluff in relationships. I get down to the core mental and emotional deficits that chasing other folks' definitions kept me from addressing. And why, as a life coach and relationship solutionist, I offer those who want to have a greater experience of life and love a proven path to get there.

Racial reconciliation is not for the faint of heart. I've been especially curious about the impact of BLM, racial unrest and the call for racial reckoning on interracial relationships. So I was delighted when today's guest, Award Winning Blogger Williesha Morris agreed to have an honest conversation about it. For her, a Black woman who was moved to activism after witnessing the death of George Floyd and the outcry of BLM, to be married to a White man took on a complexity that she had not anticipated when they met and got married years before. Despite that, however, her desire to love her husband, clear-eyed yes but with empathy, models the grace and dignity that's so needed today. So, with this episode, I hope that something will be deposited in the soil of our humanity that will turn down the noise so we can see one another as worthy humans. ABOUT WILLIESHAWilliesha Morris has spent her career either informing and educating others through the written word or helping others as an administrative assistant. She's been a freelance writer since 2012 and has been published in numerous publications. Her blog, My Freelance Life, was named one of the best blogs for writers in 2016. Williesha has been committed to advocating for racial and social justice since 2016.

Spiritual codependency isn't a term you hear very often. I don't even know if it's a thing. But in today's episode with Dr. Vernell Deslonde we explore how being dependent on someone else's spiritual connection keeps you from connecting with God, Your Inner Guidance System, for yourself. The strength of her making that connection is evident in every word as she shares her journey from pain to purpose and the spiritual connection that was critical to her rebuilding her life after divorce, parenting two young children and addressing the 1.1 million dollars in debt she was left with. If your relationship has left you splintered and questioning your enoughness, this episode is a reminder that you are greater than what happened to you. ABOUT DR.

What's your pacifying behavior? That behavior that attempts to soothe your unpleasant feelings but doesn't truly address the root cause of your pain. What do you run to to avoid what you don't want to face? As I watch how this world is imploding on a global scale, this conversation couldn't be more timely. Collectively, we are acting out – some of us rushing headlong into busyness and others caught in a cycle of despair with every breaking news report. So many losses! In today's episode, Grief Coach Herdyne Mercier and I have a constructive conversation about how to navigate loss. First, exposing those pacifying behaviors for what they are. Secondly, giving us anchors, two of which are sitting in silence and hunkering down. While it is true we don't know how long it will take for things to settle down, we can outlast difficult times and come out better.

I know that when we hear the word, "trauma", we automatically think about a mishap so catastrophic to our sensibilities and sense of self that we struggle both internally and externally as a result. That's true and valid and today's guest trauma survivor and Certified Trauma Professional Alexia Smith and I talk about that. But as you listen, I want you to consider the celebrated attacks on your personhood, your worth and your worthiness that have been passed down from generation to generation. Those Western-culture sized, politically correct traumas that are just as much a crime against your enoughness than any; because they tell you that you aren't enough unless you are better than the next person at complying with their definition.In today's episode, Alexia exposes the trauma behind it all and what has to happen in order to reclaim your happiness and your most honest state. She's stopped eating at tables where love is not being served. I have personally been challenged by our conversation to do the same and am actively choosing Divine-sized love. ABOUT ALEXIA SMITHAlexia is a licensed counselor, mental health coach, psycho-educator and speaker whose calling is to help adult survivors of childhood traumas to uncover the Divine lessons of their past, appreciate the gifts of their present, and create the futures they deserve.

Is the consequence of adulting (doing the whole grown up thing) that we become more adapted to the death of ourselves rather than truly truly living? In today's episode, I talk about the miseducation of becoming a grown up and how we've lost our connection to the awe of living. If you feel overwhelmed with your life or your relationship, are struggling for meaning and purpose, or are perplexed by underwhelm despite what you've achieved, I invite you to a deeper depth of honesty and ways to increase your experience of aliveness. ABOUT METhis solo episode was inspired by the movie, SOUL, and how it sparked deeper exploration into what it means to me to live a fulfilling life. To be honest, it feels like most of my life has been a blur. I remember the pain more than I remember the joy. I realize that it's because I didn't know who I was, so I wasn't living my own life. I was spending so much time trying to live up to somebody else's definition. With the sober reality that most of my life has been lived already, I am even more aware of how important it is how I spend my time and who I spend it with. Hence, this urgency to reconnect with the awe of living before my Earthly experience of life is over. I know that this clarity will help me to better serve my clients. That's why as a life coach and relationship solutionist, I endeavor to grow, evolve and become more myself so I can help you to do the same thing. And with my solutions, I offer those who want to have a greater experience of life and love a proven pathway.
