    From the captivating notion that 'plants invented sex' to the orgasm gap and the transformative power of pleasure, my conversation with Kiana Reeves takes us on a journey through the realms of our most basic desires. Kiana Reeves, a renowned somatic sex educator, and Chief Education Officer at Foria, brings a unique perspective to the conversation. With over a decade of experience in studying sex, embodiment, intimacy, pleasure, and wellness, she takes us on a journey that traces back to the very essence of life itself. Tune in to this episode: Sex, Love, and Plants with Kiana Reeves  Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Intimacy is more than just the act itself. It's about deepening connection, bonding, and experiencing a myriad of neurochemicals like oxytocin and dopamine, which are connected to pleasure and orgasm. ✔️ sex isn't just about pleasure—it's also a form of wellness. Viewing sex through the lens of wellness reframes it from being an 'extra' activity in our production-driven society to an integral part of holistic wellbeing. ✔️ The orgasm gap is a critical topic that needs addressing. Kiana highlights the discrepancy between men's and women's orgasm rates, stressing the importance of bridging this gap for women to genuinely enjoy and desire intimate experiences. ✔️ Breasts are not just a physical attribute but a deeply sensitive and fluctuating part of our body. It's vital to give them the care and attention they deserve, especially given their tenderness. ✔️ Embracing self-love is essential. The body deserves love and appreciation in its unique form.  Kiana Reeves is a Somatic Sex Educator, Doula, Intimacy and Relationship Coach, and the Chief Education Officer at Foria.

    How To Use Your Intuition To Make Powerful Decisions with Marilyn Alauria

    Your intuition is something that's already in you. All it takes is for you to develop your connection to it, so you can make more powerful and aligned decisions. But accessing your intuition also means accepting that you won't be perfectly in tune all the time and challenges will still happen.  But this doesn't make your intuition less powerful. What matters is how connected you can be through the ups and downs of life. Psychic medium and author Marilyn Alauria joins us to talk about how you can access your intuition with your physical senses and befriend it to guide you through life. Tune in to this episode: How To Use Your Intuition To Make Powerful Decisions with Marilyn Alauria Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Notice how you feel before you do something. Have you ever had a weird gut feeling before going to that party or answering that email, and once you did, something bad happened? That's your intuition teaching you to honor yourself and listen when these feelings come up. ✔️ Promise to trust for 30 days. Do this exercise if you're struggling to surrender. Take in all the information your intuition gives you and see how it plays out. Keep an evidence journal to record good things that happened. ✔️ Your body is the instrument of your intuition. Summon up a pleasant and an unpleasant memory and associate a color for each. Pay attention if any of those colors show up for you before you make a decision. You can also observe where in your body these feelings are showing up. ✔️ Following your intuition doesn't mean you're immune to hard experiences. Shift your mindset: Everything in life happens FOR you. Hard times have something greater waiting for you on the other side. ✔️ The universe sometimes puts you on an active pause for a reason. Your life isn't on hold, you're being prepared for your desires to manifest. Marilyn Alauria is a gifted psychic medium, teacher, and author of the book, “Guides: Mystical Connections with Soul Guides and Divine Teachers.” She has an unmatched capacity to ignite deep, soul-level transformation for her clients around the world.

Marriage provides safety and containment for a deeper exploration. ✔️ Marriage needs to be queered, no matter your preference. You don't have to submit to societal conventions.

    Why We're Obsessed with the Next Rung of Achievement with Brandi Molitor

    Dear high-achieving people, this one's for you.  You are the individuals who light up the world with your passion and zest for life. But there's a thin line between being driven and obsessive. It's so easy to fall into the inability to accept where we are now as we chase after the next accomplishment. Brandi Molitor aims to help energetic go-getters like you recognize your values, realign your life, and slowly enjoy the fruits of your labor. She joins us to share actionable tips and insights that you need to hear now! Tune in to this episode: Why We're Obsessed with the Next Rung of Achievement with Brandi Molitor Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Detach yourself from the outcome. Identify the root of your desire. What are you hoping for when you get there? What will it mean if you fail? Accomplishing your goal isn't going to fill the void or fulfill your unaddressed need to be loved and appreciated.  ✔️ Check how you're showing up daily. Have you been taking care of yourself? Focus on what lights you up about your work and how you've been treating yourself. Let go of imaginary milestones – you get to set the rules.  ✔️ Break out from the blueprint by asking why. Media has conditioned us to pursue the typical image of success: a house, kids, and a high-paying job. Look at your goals through a judgment-free lens and think: Is this what you truly want?  ✔️ Walk yourself through the worst-case scenario. What would you do if you were unsuccessful in reaching your goal? What's the worst thing that could happen? Getting a clear idea will give you an objective view of what you'd have to deal with should the worst happen.  ✔️ Not everyone is the best person to talk to about difficult decisions. Choose someone who is skilled in holding a safe conversation. A community or coach can see things through an outsider's lens and give healthy feedback. Brandi Molitor is a white, queer woman who is committed to living a life of truth. She works with high-achieving folks who want to align with their core desires and alleviate their frustration and confusion, bringing them closer to peace and clarity.

    Why Nice Guys Don't Get What They Want (and What To Do About It) with Ashley Cox

    There's no denying it. Nice guys are toxic. Take it from emotional analysis and resolution coach Ashley Cox, who's been working with nice guys in taking back their personal power. Men get stuck in this unhealthy archetype in response to unattended childhood trauma and unmet needs. While it's impossible for women to force their male-bodied partners to change, they can make decisions that benefit the relationship while transforming it by showing up with more authenticity and honesty. Tune in to this episode: Why Nice Guys Don't Get What They Want (and What To Do About It) with Ashley Cox Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Be in touch with your rage and pain and get comfortable with it. Nice guys are afraid of becoming a threat. So they let go of taking charge. Ashley Cox advises men to be the protector against bad men, their partner's self-sabotage, and their own unaddressed trauma. ✔️ Be a safe place for your man to express himself authentically. Instead of poking his buttons, explore your disruptive behaviors that block him from showing his real self. Be vulnerable — go first.  ✔️ Appreciate your partner's efforts! Men and women are wired differently by nature. If you see your man being receptive and trying, don't forget to praise him for that. ✔️ Women have more power than they realize. Not recognizing and disrespecting their efforts can hurt men emotionally and physically. In the end, both of you want connection. Work on building safety for it to happen! Many women want an emotionally connected man but most of us aren't ready to fully receive one. It's time to find ways to soften up and own your role in the relationship and give him space to show up for you. Ashley Cox MT, CTP-C, NLP is the first and only female international emotional analysis and resolution coach for ‘nice guys'. She guides 'nice guys' to use their unreciprocated relationship to create personal power and more wealth. In addition to getting and keeping their dream women, her clients have collectively generated millions of dollars from regaining their executive function and confidence after tackling subconscious blocks of fear, doubt, shame, guilt, anger, self-love deficit disorder, and pain with her.

    In today's world, the definition of femininity is being reshaped. Power dynamics in our relationships are shifting, and with that shift we need to reconsider how we approach women's success and leadership. Renowned transformational executive coach and feminine leadership advocate Ekene Onu shares that authentic femininity is not about conforming to societal expectations but about embracing one's true self.  "Iconic womanhood" is about rising above the noise and redefining what it means to be a woman in a powerful position. Tune in to this episode: Soft and Strong with Ekene Onu Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Successful women, especially those in male-dominated fields, often face a 'social penalty'. This makes them downplay their achievements to fit into societal norms. Rather than performative femininity, it's time to advocate for genuine self-expression.  ✔️ Masculinity is not about diminishing or overshadowing femininity. When men understand their noble role, they uplift and empower the women around them, and vice versa. ✔️ The dangers of perceiving femininity as merely ornamental. Femininity is not about just being looked at or adored; it has depth, purpose, and strength. ✔️ Masculine and feminine energies are not strictly tied to gender. It's about how we show up. While masculine energy is often seen as a boulder (strong and focused), feminine energy is like a flowing river (creative and intuitive). ✔️ Leadership attributes often ascribed to femininity such as nurturing, creativity, and intuition are powerful tools. They can be leveraged in business scenarios like project management, innovation, and gut-based decisions. Ekene Onu is a Transformational Executive Coach, DEI consultant and Feminine Leadership expert. Following a career of two decades in as a healthcare professional, she reinvented herself and underwent a personal revolution to reclaim her feminine power and choose to create a life of passion & purpose. She received her training from several notable institutions, such as Georgetown University and Cornell University. Her unique holistic style of executive coaching supports the whole leader and her clients increase performance and feel more connected, happy and engaged, and find deep meaning in their work. Through these initiatives, she has built a community of intentional women who are profitable and purposeful.

    Welcome to the 100th episode of my podcast! It's amazing looking back at all the wonderful conversations we've had and seeing this show evolve from just being about relationships to how we relate ourselves with the world. Let me walk you through how our lives are all about optimizing my relationships from lessons I've learned working with a dog behaviorist. I assure you, this is going to be a juicy and eye-opening one! Tune in to this episode: Celebrating 100 Episodes with the 3 B's of Relationship Dynamics Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Consider what role you need to step into for the relationship. Does the moment call you to be a buddy, butler, or a boss? Rethink how you show up in both personal and business connections. ✔️ Your union is a separate entity. If it feels wonky, one or both of you could be out of alignment with it. Sit side by side and observe it from an objective lens. Identify what the union needs in that certain situation. ✔️ Serve the relationship, not the person. Seeing it this way allows you to have clarity around habitual pitfalls in your relationships and makes you self-aware of how you're presenting yourself. ✔️ There's power in recalibration. You don't need to chameleon yourself and sweep issues under the rug. Develop the skill of knowing and being flexible in giving what your relationships need.   ————————————————————————————————   ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

We underestimate the power of a transition ritual. Like how we prepare ourselves to meditate or worship, we need to ready ourselves for the various roles we play. ✔️ Be vocal about your wants and needs. If you're not in the mood to cook, say it. Don't expect your spouse to be a mind-reader. ✔️ Respect each other's sandboxes. It's best for both of you to ask permission if one of you needs resources from the other's business. Respect boundaries and practice making clear requests. ✔️ Create structures around meetings. Have a clear agenda and desired outcome and list off-topic ideas and concerns to be discussed in another session. This method works for both business and family meetings! What matters is for everyone to be mentally present. ✔️ The real test of love is how you handle difficult times. You have to learn how to find ways to stick together and work it out. Look back at what has helped you survive, so you can appreciate each other. As a successful, award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, and TV personality, Sandra Yancey is recognized as a Top 100 Difference Maker by The International Alliance of Women.  Being a woman who grew up on welfare and bootstrapping her way to success as the CEO & Founder of eWomenNetwork, Sandra understands first-hand the struggles that entrepreneurs face on the road to happiness and financial success.  Sandra's mission is to help one million women entrepreneurs each achieve one million dollars in annual revenue while showing them that you can still live a full life as a spouse and parent with plenty of fun.

    I come to you today in a state of grief. I've recently lost a teacher and soul friend, Sally Kempton. With this recent loss, I've been reflecting on my teachings around love being the fundamental nature of life. Our current society has often glorified moving on and snapping out of grief as quickly as possible. But I invite you today to welcome this beautiful emotion into your heart and allow it… to help you explore the deepness of your ability to feel and get in touch with what makes you human. Tune in to this episode: Allowing Grief To Open You Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Grief is a portal into the depth of love beyond the physical.  Although your deceased loved one is no longer in this world, grief is the connecting thread that binds you. As long as you keep kindling the fire, you'll never be apart. ✔️ Avoiding our emotions blocks us from accessing who we really are. Skating along the surface of our feelings leaves us with unfulfilling relationships. Don't be afraid of getting in touch with the raw love in your heart. ✔️ Let yourself grieve. Let it crack you open. Embrace its presence. Isn't it amazing that this beautiful feeling you have is the foundation of all life? ✔️ Use grief to teach you to discover the beauty of your heart. It shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of. Emotions connect us with other living beings. Find how grief feels in your body, and bring it back out into the world as love. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

    When we're in a bad mood, we often create more wreckage than necessary. If we did things a little differently, we could make space to feel our feelings while keeping our relationships strong and connected. With only one day left on our Paris trip, my phone was stolen, and I was so focused on the pictures I lost that I was allowing it to wreck our last 24 hours of fun, until my fiancé Patrick put his foot down and I agreed to shift my state. We were able to navigate this tricky situation with tips that I'll be sharing to help you shift your mood and shield your loved ones from unnecessary conflict. Tune in to this episode: When You're in a Bad Mood. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ When bad things happen, give yourself grace! Let people around you know that you need some space to decompress. This prevents you from venting your frustrations on your loved ones and prevents long-term wreckage. ✔️ Ready to shift? Try box breathing. But if you're not prepared to change, don't force it! If you're ready, do several rounds of inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding, each one for the same count of (at least) four, depending on your comfort level with holding out your exhale. ✔️ Sweat out the bad mood! If breathing exercises aren't for you, get moving. Dance to your favorite song. Pound a pillow. Masturbate. Take a walk or do any rigorous physical activity to shift your state for the better. ✔️ Steer your attention somewhere else. When we're pissed, our attention tends to focus itself inward. The key is to get out of your head – step outside. Spend time in nature. Look at something beautiful. Pet cute puppies at the animal shelter. Do what feels good to shift your focus. Don't let your nervous system control you! You have more power to shift your state than you might believe. If you don't want to, no problem! Take your time, and consider how you could be affecting the people around you by choosing to stay where you are. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

Tune in to this episode: Elements of Conscious Relationships with Jackie Woodside. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Master your ego. Even without a substance addiction, you could be hooked on being always right. If there are problems that repeatedly surface in your life, you could be the issue — which is a hard and necessary pill to swallow. ✔️ Apply conscious habits in your daily life. Work with a therapist or a coach. Do self-reflective and gratitude journaling. Meditate for at least a minute to center yourself and release stress (quick but effective!).  ✔️ Be committed to each other's happiness. Let whoever feels the strongest about something win! Let go of the need to always get your way. Stepping back and asking for a neutral outsider's opinion can also help. ✔️ The health of the relationship is top priority. Make choices for the good of the relationship instead of clinging to your personal agenda. ✔️ Don't make the other person wrong for what you need. Clearly communicate what you want and don't force it on your partner if they're not ready to change.

Tune in to this episode: Tough Titties with Laura Belgray Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ People grow and change. In any environment, everyone we've met can transform and have different behaviors and interests as life goes on. Someone who may have been harsh to us back then can do better in the present. ✔️ Tough Titties is a rejection to conform to societal timelines. There's nothing wrong with being a late-bloomer. What we want comes to us in its own time. ✔️ Don't put all your eggs in one basket. When looking for your special someone, date multiple people at the same time. Have distractions so that this person you like doesn't become your sole focus. This allows things to ripen in their own time. ✔️ Practice energetic agility. It can be tricky to shift your energy from what you're hyper-focused on to a loved one that needs your attention. Look for ways you can make the transition more smooth. It can be a few deep breaths or verbally letting them know how you feel. ✔️  You have so many stories in you! Stories are great tools for selling or commanding a room. There's no such thing as a boring life. Let the world know your truth! ✔️ Choosing the right relationship is a service. You want to be in one that welcomes your authentic self and encourages your partner to be real, too. When people are comfortable in their own skin, they pass this energy on to others, creating a positive ripple effect. Laura Belgray is founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure, and author of Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F'ing Worst. An award-winning copywriting expert, she helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she's seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your Buy button.

    Today's episode is inspired by a quote I read the other day from screenwriter Shonda Rhimes: “I am not lucky. You know what I am? I am smart. I am talented. I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way. And I work really, really hard. Don't call me lucky. Call me a badass.” We have this rampant habit among women of shrinking ourselves because we think it will make others feel comfortable around us.  Now's the time for you to quit it and start embodying your full worth! Tune in to this episode: Quit Downplaying Your Accomplishments Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Make your own version of Shonda Rhimes' quote. Like this: “I am not _____. You know what I am? I am _____. I am _____. I take advantage of _____. And I _____. Don't call me _____. Call me _____.” Be sure to choose words that resonate with you. ✔️ Know the truth of your brilliance! Without your efforts, you wouldn't be where you are today. Every day for at least 30 days, read aloud the above acknowledgment you've written for yourself and let it transform your vibration. ✔️ Be anchored in your power. Do you wonder why the sales didn't happen or you keep attracting the wrong people? It's because you haven't embraced the wonders of who you are. ✔️ Knowing your worth isn't arrogance. It's confidence. And it doesn't have to mean being bigger or smaller than others. Just be the right size that tells the truth of your story. --------------- ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

    Closing the Gap

    Seven years ago, our dog Phoenix started showing signs of fear aggression. We took her to a dog trainer that taught us this valuable practice to calm her down — which we later discovered also helped us create deeper connection, intimacy, and playfulness with one another! Hostility and irritability are usually rooted in being ungrounded in some way.  With this simple practice of closing the gap, you can help your partner (and yourself!) relax and settle down, coming into greater connection again instead of spinning out into a fight. Tune in to this episode: Closing The Gap Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Your presence is enough. When your partner seems ungrounded, just sit near them in silence. Allow your calm nervous system to support their energy in settling. ✔️ Get playful when closing the gap. With each other's consent, of course! It can look like a bear hug, or gradually inching closer to your partner when they're raging, or speaking in a playful tone. ✔️ It takes courage to go first. Be the bigger person, not to gain power over them, but because you're more interested in contributing to having a connected relationship than you are in winning a war. ✔️ Apply this practice anywhere! In a more professional setting, you could breathe with a team member or client, or sit near them without saying anything. Contribute your relaxed energy to support them in settling down. --------------- ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

    Talking on Eggshells—What to Say when You Don't Know what to Say with Sam Horn

    Rudeness is on the rise. While it seems easier to let our emotions get the best of us, doing this takes us out of alignment from a life of peace and joy. Sam Horn, author and CEO of the Intrigue Agency, graces the show and shares valuable tips on what to say (and not say) when you just don't feel like talking, and how to prevent tricky situations from getting worse. We can't control outside circumstances, but we can control how we respond and what we say. Tune in to this episode: Talking on Eggshells—What to Say When You Don't Know What To Say  Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Never use “but” in a disagreement.  This signals an explanation that comes across as an excuse. It also signifies that you aren't holding yourself accountable for what happened. ✔️ Apologizing doesn't mean you're responsible.  It's a way to acknowledge the other person's inconvenience. Giving them compassion avoids further conflict. ✔️ Say “Yes” more often.  Instead of telling children, “No, you can't do this.” Give them a condition that they need to accomplish before they can get what they asked for. ✔️ Be more specific.  Avoid sweeping generalizations. Find out the root of the issue and address it before jumping to conclusions. ✔️ No one can make us angry without our consent.  We all have control over our own emotions. You have that power. ✔️ Set boundaries without getting angry.  You can use non-verbal cues to get people to back off when you feel like a boundary has been crossed. --------------- Sam Horn, CEO of the Intrigue Agency, is a 3-time TEDx speaker and author of 10 books - including her newest available in June, Talking on Eggshells, plus Tongue Fu!, POP!, Washington Post bestseller, Got Your Attention? - that have been featured in NY Times, Fast Company, Forbes, on NPR, and taught to Intel, Cisco, Oracle, Capital One, Fidelity, and Accenture.  Richard Branson's New Now Leaders, TED Fellows, NASA, and EO have all hired Sam to coach their executives on media training and public speaking.  Sam was Executive Director of the Maui Writers Conference (which Writers Digest called "the best writers conference in the world") for 17 years, and has helped hundreds of clients crystallize quality books and keynotes that have scaled their impact and income - for good.

    Many of us caring-oriented people often stay longer in conversations longer than what feels good to us. And you just don't leave because the other person really wants to connect! What ends up happening is you get frustrated and release it to your partner – and that's not good. Here's my piece on how you can leave the situation with kindness and compassion. Tune in to this episode: When You Don't Feel Like Talking Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Develop a lexicon as a cue that you're at maximum capacity. For my partner Patrick and I, it sounds like, “Hey, I'm full.” This allows us to seamlessly end our talk or transition to another topic. ✔️ Give each other permission to be honest. This prevents the other from taking it too personally. ✔️ Leave conversations effectively. We all can get sensitive to feeling abandoned or rejected. Express how genuinely interested you are but your bandwidth is unable to take in more. The other person will feel comfortable employing this technique with you and others too. ✔️ It's a kindness to be true about what's happening to you. Talking to somebody who doesn't want to be there feels terrible. Agreeing on a signal prevents conflict and creates room for more intimate conversations in the future.  --------------- ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder and CEO of Relationship Alchemy®, where she guides soulful professional women in personal and relationship transformation, so they can have more love and connection at home and a greater impact in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

    Have you ever said something to your partner and thought, “I sound like my father,” or, “That's something my mother would say.” Epigenetics tells us that we tend to pick up tendencies and recurring issues that we heard and experienced in our families of origin — especially with our parents. Therapist Johanna Lynn breaks down the importance of examining our family lines, how our current relationship problems could be the product of past conditioning, and what we can do about it. Tune in to this episode: Dropping 'The Story' - Understanding Intergenerational Influences on Relationships with Johanna Lynn Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Understand the influence of past generations.  By exploring our ancestors' relationships and environments, we can uncover clues to our own patterns and behaviors. ✔️ Look at repeating relationship issues.  Repeating arguments, boundary issues, communication problems, and people-pleasing tendencies are some common family issues that need to be examined.  ✔️ Map out your three-generation genogram.  Doing this can help you identify and understand how certain traits or behaviors have been passed down through your family lineage. ✔️ Practice self-awareness and acceptance.  Once you become aware of your family conditioning and how it has influenced you, you can now work on accessing and embracing your authentic self. ✔️ Heal through connection.  Openness and vulnerability gives you a chance to improve family dynamics and foster a deeper relationship with your loved ones. --------------- Johanna Lynn is a highly trained systemic therapist who offers resolutions for long-standing issues to participants in online classes with a focus on dismantling family patterns, restoring relationships, and cultivating resilient boundaries.

Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Sing a sad song, and be done!  This was said by a cousin of mine 30 years ago while I was bawling over a breakup. Allowing yourself to deeply feel the emotions helps you slowly detach from this person. ✔️ Snip energetic ties. Consciously and externally separating isn't enough. Cut that energetic bond using your imagination. Ensure you're ready to do this and be clear with your desired outcome. ✔️ Start taking actions that nourish you. Go back to nature. Eat healthy food.

    How do you get someone to open up to you? Here's the tricky thing: When you come from a position where you HAVE TO get someone to open up to you, you're screwed. Just like with any other desire you have in your life, it all starts with you – your openness to receiving it, even if it doesn't turn out the way you want it to. Tune in to this episode: How To Get Someone To Open Up Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Speak with zero judgment. No name-calling or accusatory language. See where the other person is coming from. Be open to what both of you are expressing. ✔️ Be receptive, even if what they say hurts. Encourage them to tell you more. Don't invalidate their feelings but rather seek the truth. Thank them for speaking up. ✔️ Be a basin for love and openness. The intimacy flows when you allow it to come to you. Before difficult conversations, get rid of excess energy so you can receive your partner's feedback with compassion. ✔️ Don't squash the thing you desire. Everyone's expression is different. Whether it lands softly or hard, inviting it creates more depth in your relationship. --------------- ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder and CEO of Relationship Alchemy®, where she guides soulful professional women in personal and relationship transformation, so they can have more love and connection at home and a greater impact in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

    What does it mean to be a man in the modern world? The tides are shifting. Roles are changing. And emotions and vulnerability are now at the forefront. Growing up in a machismo-focused household, award-winning author, speaker, and actor Carlos Andrés Gómez speaks his truth to inspire others and society as a whole to break generations of toxic gender norms. Hear his story and his ways of handling his relationships in the most balanced way. Tune in to this episode: Reimagining Modern Manhood with Carlos Andrés Gómez Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Art should be done within a community. Gone are the days of creating in isolation. Meeting new people, receiving feedback, and hearing different stories are what help us grow as artists and individuals. ✔️ Excavate, don't wrestle. The narrative calls for a more balanced view of gender roles. Be a good example to others so that younger generations can follow. ✔️ Master the dance of knowing each others' strengths. Your partner could have skills that are out of traditional gender norms or some that they just don't have the bandwidth to do. Work together to maintain balance. ✔️ Share your story. Speak your truth through your art. Allow your audience to empathize with you. Poetry and other forms of art are an investigation, not a fixed answer to the issues we face today. ✔️ Accept the glimmer of nonconformity. Be open to more nuanced discussions on gender roles and how it affects our authentic expression. Give yourself permission to go against the grain. --------------- Carlos Andrés Gómez is a Colombian American poet, speaker, actor, and equity and inclusion strategist from New York City. He is the author of Fractures, winner of the Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry, Hijito, winner of the Broken River Prize and a #1 SPD bestseller, and the memoir Man Up: Reimagining Modern Manhood, released by Penguin Random House.  A star of HBO's Def Poetry Jam, TV One's Verses and Flow, and Spike Lee's #1 box office movie Inside Man with Denzel Washington, Carlos' honors include the Sandy Crimmins National Prize for Poetry, Atlanta Review International Poetry Prize, Foreword INDIES Gold Medal, and the International Book Award.  A genre-transcending multi-hyphenate, he partnered with John Legend on Senior Orientation, a program to counteract bullying and champion inclusive masculinity among high school students.

But that couldn't be farther from the truth. I want to clear up the fairy-tale-like ideas we have about soul mates and what I believe a true soul mate really is. Tune in to this episode: Your Soul Mate. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ A true soul mate is a mirror. Elizabeth Gilbert said it best. They show you what's holding you back and bring them to your own attention so you can change your life. ✔️ Get clear on what you're here to do. Our soul is much more interested in what brings us to our true selves. You need to have intimacy with yourself before you can recognize your soul mate. ✔️ Soul mates are not forever. We can have more than one soul mate in this lifetime. They can also leave when their purpose has ended.

    The term “abundance” gets thrown around a lot but not everybody who uses the term actually embodies it in a grounded way. Success Mentor Rebecca Whitman breaks down seven major aspects to focus on to live a truly abundant life. Each aspect is interconnected and worth prioritizing to create a well-rounded and abundant life. Tune in to this episode: 7 Pillars for an Abundant Life with Rebecca Whitman Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Spirituality makes everything else work better. Having faith in something greater than ourselves gives us a chance to remember that everything works out in the end. ✔️ Prioritizing fitness helps everything else. When we feel better physically, we're more efficient, resourceful, and confident in our skin. ✔️ Prioritize noticing what you can be grateful for. Let go of fear-based thoughts by practicing gratitude every day. ✔️ Romance is everywhere if you're open to it. It's not always about relationships but rather about romancing life itself. There's beauty in every moment – whether you're single, dating, or married. ✔️ Growth means continuing to work on yourself. Fill your downtime with audiobooks and podcasts. The real work of growth also starts when you choose to be in a relationship. ✔️ Maintain your social circle, even when you're in a relationship. Find people who have what you want. If you do what they do, you can succeed too. Choose friends who want to grow with you, instead of focusing only on your relationship. ✔️ Finances follow when you're holistically aligned. Don't chase money to accumulate it, but to circulate it. Money affords you freedom to design the life you want and lift others up, too. --------------- Rebecca Whitman is a Success Mentor, graduate with honors from Princeton University, and author of internationally bestselling books, “Phenomenal Feminine Entrepreneurs,” “Business, Life, Universe” and “How to Make a Six Figure Income Working Part Time.” She was selected as Life Coach of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals.

Her philosophy divides life into 7 Pillars of Abundance which include: spiritual, physical, emotional, romantic, mental, social, and financial.

Acknowledge good things you and your partner are doing. This can help you escape from a pattern of criticism. ✔️ Journal what your relationship looks like. Imagine it as a plant and ask yourself: Are the leaves wilted? Are there habits that need to be pruned? Is the pot too small for you and your partner? ✔️ Don't leave without trying. Give watering a try. You might end up with an even more loving and close relationship than what you had before. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

    The foundation of effective communication is self-love. Let Laurie-Ann Murabito, former shy-gal-turned-speaking-coach, walk you through her methods on how she overcame the shame in giving the first word, and who now exudes confidence in speaking, both to her partner and to an audience. Tune in to this episode: Communicating with Confidence in Business and Marriage with Laurie-Ann Murabito. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Make in-person events count. Make small talk to each attendee that comes in at the door. Cite them in your speech. Memorize the start and the end of your presentation to shake off jitters and avoid rushing. Be selective of the feedback you get. ✔️ The more you ask, the easier it gets. Practice requesting your partner for more time or attention. Ask the hard questions. It gets trickier the more you delay it. ✔️ Your home life impacts your work life. And not vice versa. Spending a short moment to connect can fuel you to be at your best career-wise. Work together to make the dance as smooth as possible. ✔️ The relationship is a choice. It's not a piece of paper or a ring. As you take responsibility for your own emotions, you actively decide daily that you want to be with this person. ✔️ Confidence comes in many shapes and sizes. You don't have to copy how others do it. Find your own energy. ———————————————— Laurie-Ann Murabito, a Speaking Coach and Speaking Strategist, works with clients to communicate with confidence and leverage speaking opportunities to be positioned as the expert, attract high-end clients, and monetize their authority.

    Are you looking to create a new year to-do list that you'll actually accomplish? Here's an easy goal-setting method I learned from my life coach. I've been doing this for 15 years, and I recommend you do it too! You can also do it with your partner if you want to take your relationship to the next level. Tune in to this episode: Yearly Goal Setting That Works. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Write down all your desires. Be it money, travels, things for your home, or better health – don't hold back! Make that list as long as you can. ✔️ Sort your list into three categories. A priorities – Things that you'll put your attention on first B priorities – Things you'll act on but not as important as A C priorities – “Nice-to-have” dreams that you'll someday do ✔️ Liberate yourself from the pressure. This is what the C category is for. Allow yourself to express your desires, even if they may not happen. ✔️ Work on one priority from the A-list. Slowly get through it. Be sure to review your list quarterly so you can see your progress. Because your goals are broken down into small chunks, you're more likely to hit them. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

    Making a difference in the world starts within ourselves. Musician and writer Andre Henry talks about addressing our own pain and trauma to cultivate better relationships, challenging masculine and feminine norms, and creating more space for emotional and heartfelt conversation. Tune in to this episode: Staying Soft in a Hard World with Marie-Elizabeth Mali & Andre Henry. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ The lack of space to address trauma destroys relationships. Social justice should be about working on healthy connections – be it with others or with ourselves. Andre wants to tell his story to uncover the facade of perfection. ✔️ Be more intentional about your femininity or masculinity. It isn't being a good or bad person. It's being aware of your ability to express your emotions and hone your emotional intelligence. ✔️ Never invalidate your partner's feelings. As both of you openly share your emotions, approach it with an open mind. Be careful of the words you choose. Intention doesn't instantly reflect on impact. ✔️ A shift has to happen. Men must learn to feel deeply and verbalize how they feel. Women have to de-armor after years of putting up walls against the patriarchy. ✔️ Re-do moments where you contradict yourself. Try your best to explain your intent clearly and empathize with the person you have upset. Andre Henry is a musician and writer using his creativity to build a movement for racial healing and social progress. He has spent years searching for answers about how ordinary people can change the world through collective action and is working hard to spread to mainstream audiences what he's learned on this journey.

Tune in to this episode: Habits of Healthy Couples with Mollie Birney. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Words are powerful. Give casual compliments.

Establish trust to avoid leaving dark and untouched topics. Be more curious about the root of issues than the symptom. ✔️ Give each other feedback. Affirm your partner when they respect your boundaries and make an effort to improve. ✔️ Start from awareness. If you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up for it. Notice it without judgment. Be curious as to why you keep repeating these bad habits. ———————————————————————————————— Mollie Birney is a Clinical Coach in private practice, she provides life coaching with an eye toward mental health to high-achieving professionals seeking efficient, authentic transitions and behavioral change.

    Today's topic is quick yet juicy. What are some ways to spice things up in the bedroom? I'll be sharing my easy and doable pieces of advice so you can make every sex session fun and memorable for both you and your partner. Tune in to this episode: Tips for Better Sex. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Get to know your own body. We have other erogenous zones beyond our genitals. Stroke and touch yourself to feel good in your own skin. A good reference is Emily Nagoski's book, Come As You Are. ✔️ Ask for what you want in bed more directly. Well-meaning partners are NOT mind-readers! Say what feels good before things get worse. Nothing kills desire more than feeling wrong. ✔️ Practice touching your partner. Spend 10-15 minutes pleasuring yourself or your partner in different ways, and see how you or they respond. It doesn't have to end with intercourse every time – zero pressure! ✔️ Ask for stimulating foreplay. Most women don't climax from penetrative sex. Request your partner to prepare you for what's to come. Experiment with toys. Be compassionate and educate each other along the way. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

    Why Does He Do That? A Peek Into the "Mysterious" Masculine Mind with Tim Wade

    For the longest time, our upbringing and society have taught us gender-based expectations. Even with the tides changing, some habits are still ingrained in us. When you feel frustrated as to why your partner doesn't see the need to do the dishes or take out the trash, it's important to understand the factors and know what you and your partner can do about it to avoid the stress. Tim Wade discusses these deep-rooted reasons and different ways to solve these issues. Tune in to this episode: Why Does He Do That? A Peek Into the "Mysterious" Masculine Mind with Tim Wade. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Have more compassion and empathy. While some men still believe there are men-centered tasks, others just don't know how to do more feminine roles like changing diapers. They also have a more focused awareness — not noticing the stack of dishes in the sink because they're thinking about the problem at work. ✔️ Sit down and talk. Share each others' ideas of division of labor, and try to reach an agreement that is fair for both sides. Drop the ledger, and stop keeping score! ✔️ Your partner is not a mind-reader. If you don't feel heard, talk about your concern. Let go of agenda and judgment. Listen and validate the other for understanding and empathy. Sometimes, they're not hurting you on purpose. They just don't know any better. ✔️ Be more direct. Men are usually listening for direction and instruction. Instead of being passive-aggressive, clearly say what you need. You can also help them preemptively condition their listening for them to understand what you're trying to say. ✔️ Do a do-over. This is a great exercise in self-awareness and humility. When you show up in a way that is not your best, you can always re-do it. ———————————————————————————————— After being blindsided by an unexpected mid-life divorce, Tim Wade turned his deepest wound into a powerful message of transformation that he has shared with thousands of men worldwide. Tim created LionHearted Men Coaching to help men thrive in their relationships by teaching them the counter-intuitive secrets that allowed him to become a strong, confident, and compassionate father, partner, and lover. Although his main focus has been supporting men to become the best version of themselves, his ideas about how to have an amazing relationship and a life worth living resonates with women as well.

    Holidays can often be a time of stress, especially if your relationships aren't how you want them to be. There's so much pressure put on our connections with our partners, friends, and family. This is why I wanted to give you the tools not only to survive, but to actually thrive through the holidays and set yourself up for a great upcoming year. Tune in to this episode: Thriving Through the Holidays. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Decide in advance how you want to feel. Check in and make that choice. Do you want to be loved? In solitude? Supported? This helps you keep track and know what you need to change. ✔️ Set boundaries. What do they look like? Be it touching at a party or an extra drink — you can say no. You can focus on drawing them so you can take care of yourself. ✔️ Take care of your body. You can still enjoy yourself during the holidays without sabotaging your physical health. Choose one healthy thing you would pay attention to —like better sleep, exercise, or meditation. ✔️ Give yourself permission to feel. If you find yourself feeling down while others are partying, you don't have to force yourself to conform. Exit that situation.

    Ruthless Compassion with Dr. Marcia Sirota

    Don't be nice. Be kind! This is the core tenet of ruthless compassion. Ruthless compassion is achieving a balance of being honest and clear with strong boundaries while practicing kindness and acceptance. But a lot of times in relationships, we tend to go either on one side or the other. Dr. Marcia Sirota joins us to give her insights and advice on why we should be taking responsibility for our own self-care, how to develop boundaries and tolerance, why we shouldn't turn to romcoms for answers, and why adult relationships should be conditional. Tune in to this episode: Ruthless Compassion with Dr. Marcia Sirota. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ The condition for love is respect and kindness. Your partner should allow you to be your authentic self. You don't have to change your quirks and interests (unless they are causing hurt). If you find yourself working too hard, it's not worth keeping. ✔️ Learning ruthless compassion is a process. Whether it's alone or with a partner, you progress, make mistakes, and get back up again. Build that attitude of curiosity, self-compassion, and desire to know the truth of your patterns. ✔️ Get a trusted guide. This can be anyone who can help you see the reality of your experiences. Choose someone who lives a fulfilling and respectable life. ✔️ With courtesy and boundaries, you don't need rules. There isn't a one-size-fits-all for relationships as each is unique. See what makes you feel most comfortable and speak up if you experience a violation of your values. ✔️ Practice healthy confrontation. Follow these steps: Take a breath. Don't attack. Say, “When you did/said [the action or words], I felt [happy/sad/confused]. Wait for their response. Their answer isn't a reflection of your character. ———————————————————————————————— Dr. Marcia Sirota is a board-certified psychiatrist practicing in Toronto, Canada. She has more than 25 years of mental health experience and specializes in wellness, healing trauma, unblocking creativity, and supporting people to become their best selves. She is the founder of the Ruthless Compassion Institute, which promotes empowerment and self-awareness. She is a podcaster, the author of five books, and an instructor of several online courses. Her most recent book is “Be Kind, Not Nice: How to Stop People-Pleasing, Build Your Confidence and Discover Your Authentic Self.”  She is going into her sixth year of a podcast with over one hundred episodes.

    If you really want something, you're willing to work for it. The relationship and life that you truly desire won't come if you just sit back and wait for it. It's about knowing the key elements to achieve it, taking actionable steps, and collaborating with the universe through trust and faith. Tune in to this episode: Creating the Relationships and Life You Want Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Consider the ten elements to creating the life you want. I'll be going through them one by one, what each entails, and what you need to do about each. A clear vision, desire, and belief are the top three. ✔️ Be attentive of lag time. It's the period you decide you want a thing and when you get it. It looks like a delay, but you can create your own meaning for it. Will you beat yourself up for taking too long, or will you see it as a time to nurture your growth? Change sticks when you can imagine yourself winning. ✔️ Combine inner work with outer actions. We can create ease, but that doesn't mean everything we do is easy. Allow your life to unfold in its own timeline, and surrender your efforts to the universe. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

    Emotional Health with Heather Dempsey

    There's so much judgment and shame instilled in being a highly-sensitive person. What most people don't realize is that this is a superpower. Therapeutic business coach, Heather Dempsey, breaks down what it means to be a highly-sensitive person (HSP), how to optimize this ability in your career and business, effective communication with non-sensitive people, and ways to self-regulate. Tune in to this episode: Emotional Health with Heather Dempsey Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ You're an HSP if you do this. Do noises outside seem more disruptive? Do you freak out over little things when others don't? Do certain things feel like they're magnified at a ten? ✔️ HSPs must navigate relationships differently. Figure out your tipping points, and form boundaries around them. Avoid triggering situations. Let go of the idea that you're the “awkward one”. ✔️ HSPs can avoid projection. Identify the beliefs you've created. Filter which ones are true and false. Rebuild your resource of truth. Accept that some beliefs could be real, but challenge them how some might not be. ✔️ Talk to non-sensitives with empathy. They don't sense the same things as you do. You may also react in ways that are uncomfortable for them, and that's okay. ✔️ Self-regulation helps. Find activities that are self-nurturing. Practice patience in this fast-paced world. ———————————————————————————————— Heather Dempsey is a therapeutic business coach specializing in emotional health, mindset, and the psychology of business.
