Why is it that we, as women, rarely hesitate to buy something for someone we love, but when it comes to what WE want, the expense often feels too indulgent? When was the last time you just jumped in and did something you wanted to do, without first running it by someone else to ‘double check’ or ‘talk it through’?  And are you even aware of how often you seek someone else’s approval to do or have something that makes you happy? It was not too long ago that women lived without the basic human rights we enjoy today. However, the paradigm of the compliant, powerless female is still ingrained in our DNA. We may not even be aware when we ask for permission to do, feel or go for what we want. And this unconscious behavior can keep us from living our true happiness. In this episode we discussed:  RBG’s contribution to a woman’s right to happiness The roller-coaster of emotions surrounding Susan’s vow renewal plans Why allowing ourselves what we ‘want’ is difficult at times How to give ourselves the permission to have whatever we want   Resources What RBG accomplished for women’s rights: http://evernote.com/skitch   Our FREE GIFT just for you!  Get Access to You Deserve to Feel Good In Love Webinar   Stay in Touch Website  Facebook Instagram @happymarriedchicks   About Susan Susan Leahy MA CSP is a joyous creator, certified speaking professional, personal/relationship coach and a loving, powerful committed woman.

After watching “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix, our minds are blown and our eyes are open. How many times a day do you check your phone and get sucked into mindlessly scrolling? Would you consider yourself addicted to social media, text messages or email? It’s hard to imagine our lives today without the magical little multi-functional mobile devices that deliver us our instant dose of gratification. However, somewhere along the way, the balance seems to have shifted. Most of us lack the ability to relax, enjoy and simply be in the moment.  Could the same technology that has expanded our world, also be robbing us from our full potential, and from living a life that feels good?   In this episode we discussed:  How to empower our loved ones, and ourselves to login without checking out Why consciously not touching our phones could lead to greater happiness How to identify areas in our lives that could use a technology break What 3 steps you can take today to break this cycle of addiction   Resources The Social Dilemma, Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224   Our FREE GIFT just for you!  Get Access to You Deserve to Feel Good In Love Webinar   Stay in Touch Website: happymarriedchicks.com Instagram: @happymarriedchicks  Facebook    About Susan Susan Leahy MA CSP is a joyous creator, certified speaking professional, personal/relationship coach and a loving, powerful committed woman.

Triggers. We all have them. Triggers are those reasonable things that others do or say, that elicit an unreasonable, and largely uncontrollable response from us. When a trigger strikes, we are suddenly flooded with powerful negative emotions, so we yell, or scream, or lash out with hurtful words. And then to make matters worse, the normal tendency is to justify our irrational behavior with the support of our personal story. This traps us in a cycle of being a slave to our triggers and doesn’t feel good for anyone involved. How can we break this cycle for ourselves, and for the people we care about while paving the way for more happiness in our lives?

Do you hang the toilet paper OVER or UNDER, and does it bother you if your partner does it “wrong”? We all have little things that we like to see done the “right way” (ie. OUR way!) but at what point does being picky become a problem in maintaining a happy home? Often, it is not the big things that break up relationships, but rather the small, inconsequential stuff that grows and expands as we focus on it. How can we address these little annoyances about the people we love without picking on them? In this episode we discussed:  How to identify when you are being too picky.

Picture this: Your bump into a girlfriend who is proudly driving her beautiful new car fresh off the lot... Would your response unintentionally suck the happiness out of your conversation? If you use a canned response that is MEANT to be kind, but is actually negative by interpretation, then consider yourself guilty as charged! As women, we are surrounded by these seemingly innocent canned statements, and for many of us, they are habitual. It is only by drawing our attention to them and learning to pivot in the moment, that we can truly begin to change the conversation and invite more positive energy into our lives.   In this episode we discussed:  Which sabotaging statements have you heard, or even used yourself? Why do we default to negative responses? How can we pivot to use positive responses instead?
