Are you guilty of telling your daughter all of the the things you didn't have as a kid and she should be grateful for all that you have given her?NEWS FLASH: She doesn't care!It's time to really evaluate where that feeling of trying to make  them be more grateful comes from. Is the real reason that you would like them to be more grateful or is this something where you need to look within and find your own gratitude.Support the show (http://cash.app/$CharishFree)

Today's tip is all about not only giving her a simple gift but wrapping it. Wrapping her gift will bring more meaning to the gift you are giving her. The gift can be something very simple that you won't necessarily have to go to the store for!Support the show (http://cash.app/$CharishFree)

It's truly about the simple things when it comes to connecting with your daughter.  Keep it simple. No need to whip out the credit card for a mani/pedi day. Connecting with your daughter gets to be simple. I've implemented simple connection by using the 5 love languages. The 5 love languages are Physical Touch, Receiving Gifts, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, and Acts of Service. The tips I share on a daily basis are SIMPLE and not necessarily always EASY to implement. Implementation is going to take ACTION on your part.  Keep it simple.It's about the quality of time spent.And in all that you do when connecting with your daughter make sure you remove the U in guilt and Grow In Love Together.Support the show (http://cash.app/$CharishFree)

Why do we stop giving the same enthusiasm we once gave to our daughter when she began to walk?This tip is talking about connecting by giving her a high-five with a splash of enthusiasm! I talk about keeping that same excitement you once had for her when she first learned to say "mama",  first learned to walk, and first learned her ABC's. Support the show (http://cash.app/$CharishFree)

Show her some love today by helping her do something that you would normally have her do something on her own.  If she normally makes her bed, take time and help her do that.If she normally folds her laundry on her own, help her do that.If she normally cleans her room on her own, help her do that.Less focus on the fact that she KNOWS how to do the things and more focus on the opportunities to connect that can be inserted into your daily activities.  Support the show (http://cash.app/$CharishFree)

To connect today, forget the extra stuff and say the simple phrase, "I love you". I'm sure you say I love you but do you JUST say I love you with nothing else before or after the phrase?Connecting by saying the phrase "I love you", will help combat the feeling of people pleasing. Saying just that phrase will send the signal that YOUR love for HER is unconditional.Support the show (http://cash.app/$CharishFree)

When a friend says that they are struggling with something, you stop and talk about it. Even when you don't know all of the answers, stop and talk about it.  Being comfortable with the uncomfortable. Be comfortable with no script. Be comfortable with not knowing all of the answers. Let's support each other. Use what you have and push forward. Don't wait until you have all of the pieces to begin. The piece that you are giving to that friend may be the piece that they need. You don't have to have every piece, by yourself, to succeed.  Growing In Love Together is what we do here. Don't wait, just start it.

It just grinds my gears when I don't get an ACTUAL apology.

Do I get that type of apology? No. In this episode I dive into WHY I crave to be seen even when my lovely man is upset.

When it comes to our kids it can easily feel like they need us more than we need them and if we begin to rely on them there is a FAT chance they will disappoint.The truth is, yes, they will disappoint us IF we are constantly wanting them to live up to our standards the first time they put their hands to something that we have done forever and ever. Accept that they are not perfect, and just like us, they have to work through the mistakes towards perfection.Growing in Love Together means taking on each others shortcomings.

Are you tired of your past holding you back in your current situation? Are you ready to stare your past in the face and take charge? Are you ready to Grow In Love?If yes, then.... this episode is most certainly for you!! You are a resilient woman and I know you can make it through anything!Let me take you on a journey and share the reasons behind this Song of a Resilient Woman.

Communication has been at the forefront of our relationship the last year or so and this Shelter in Place has placed us in a position where we have to talk with one another. I am so grateful for this time we have with one another.

Hang in there as I talk it out with you my thoughts and feelings that have gone on since the events of COVID-19 began to change my work environment. This journey has taken an extreme turn and I'm here for ALL of it.

I take you through the feelings of helplessness, selfishness, and realizations as I discuss the days that my daughter was in the facility with "the crazies". You know what I'm talking about, those straight jacket slobbering people you see in the movies. I even discuss the days thereafter and how we began to grow in love together.

My truth. This episode is my truth and I needed to share it. When you feel you are ready, share your truth with me. I'm listening.

Looking back, it isn't always easy to embrace the journey that you took to get to your present circumstances. It's easier to smile, show the glitz, glamour, and finished product. In this episode I strip away the gold and take you on the journey and share how it all began.Like what you hear?
