Proverbs 31:10-12  Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil All the days of her life. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-jones57/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-jones57/support

Today's episode invites you to specifically LOVE the way you're showing up when it comes to your search for the one, even when someone you're into ends up really disappointing you. Claire is selling dignity over your ego in this episode, and offers 7 examples of how a woman can show up with dignity in her dating life. She also shares how choosing dignity comes up for her in her business, instead of choosing her ego, because she truly believes that how you are in one area of your life is how you are in ALL areas, and when you're consistently showing up differently to attract different, you absolutely eventually will! Other episodes Claire references: 12 Years Since RockbottomWhen the Work Isn't Working 2.0

Marni welcomes fellow podcast dating host Amber Grubenmann to the Life Check Yourself studio. Amber is the creator of the highly-rated Women's Dating and Confidence Podcast plus she helps ladies go from just dating to exclusive through her coaching programs.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Why women have sex before they are ready Tips for creating a long-term, meaningful relationship Exploring your inner sexiness Men's expectations around sex   Set the Stage for the Type of Relationship You Want [1:50]   Amber shares some of the most common comments she hears from the women she works with about their mindset around why they have had sex early in a relationship or when they may not be ready:   If he has sex with me it means he likes me. I need to show him how good it is. If he doesn't get it from me, he's going to get it from someone else. I need to see if we are sexually compatible. If I don't have sex with him, I will disappoint him.   Amber tells her clients that if they want to go from dating to exclusive, to introduce sex once they feel confident and secure in a relationship.   There are things you can do in dating that increase the probability of a certain type of relationship.   How to Cultivate the Right Mindset [10:28]   Relationships are a human need and men really want them. Taking the time in the early stages of a relationship to see if a man has the emotional qualities you are looking for will give you the opportunity to explore the sexual connection.   Clarifying your intentions can make the relationship road smoother throughout the entire journey. So explore the person you are dating through conversation. If a relationship starts to feel amazing and you don't have the conversation, the guy may not be on the same page.   To get what you want, you have to talk about it and ask for it.   Bringing Sexy Back [18:02]   Everyone wants to feel sexy. But, often we have things that hold us back from feeling fully into our sexuality. Amber offers some tips women can use to get comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality.   Have a self-pleasure practice to learn what you like and what turns you on. Consider what are the factors that allow you to enhance or disrupt your feeling sexual? What factors allow your nervous system to relax?   Inner sexiness is unconditional and different for all of us.   Many women believe that men have certain expectations around sex because some have felt the pressure to have sex at some point in their lives. But, sex will never create security in a connection. So, if you are looking for a long-term commitment, leading with sex doesn't give you the emotional security you need for long-term happiness.   If you want a meaningful relationship, don't treat it casually.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Dating coach, Marni Battista, is the queen of making her clients irresistible to men in today's dating environment. In a world complicated by the‘buffet' --try it and leave it'-- approach to dating and relationship, further complicated by technology and increasingly confusing gender roles, Dating With Dignity teaches successful women a cutting edge process based on neuroscience and authenticity to attract not just any man, but the one who will be your partner, equal, and person with whom you can create a pathway to a life of meaning, intimacy and personal fulfillment. Marni is a certified professional Dating and Relationship Coach and Expert, writer, and nationally recognized print and online magazine expert (Cosmopolitan Magazine, Yahoo! Shine, Huffington Post, YourTango.com, CupidsPulse.com, Men's Fitness, Glamour and more). She has also had guest appearances on CBS, ABC, and Loveline (filling in for Dr. Drew!) Marni's weekly dating and relationship podcast, “The Dating Den,” has more than 25k downloads each episode and she was named one of the 10 Best Women's Dating Experts by @DatingAdviceCom.

Marni and Chris are joined by Reality Rayna aka Marni's daughter Rayna Battista to recap Love on the Spectrum, a reality dating show with neurodiverse contestants. This is Chris's favorite reality dating show because the daters are obsessed with the truth and are authentic. Marni says neurotypical daters do the same things but it's all happening on the inside.   Key takeaways from this episode:   The beauty of honesty in relationships How to be coachable Finding something fun to do for a first date Not taking things personally   Dani & Solomon [4:26]   Dani has her own business, loves animation, and is dead set on finding someone. She holds high standards for herself and others. She is high-functioning on the autism scale. She says she wants a business partner, lover, and best friend!   Solomon is attractive, into spirituality, and also high-functioning on the autism scale. On their first date, Dani & Solomon have crazy physical chemistry. They kiss a lot! But it throws Dani off. She wasn't prepared for so much physical attraction. She got overwhelmed.   Dani exhibits every inner feeling of any woman going on a date with a hot guy. But she has no inner monologue, so she says to Solomon “You are so hot. I love you” and, “I think you are my person” on their first two dates. Then after date number two, she puts on the brakes. She may have sabotaged the relationship and put her guard up because it was too much, too fast.   We sabotage great possibilities because we get emotionally attached and scared. It's a protective mechanism. We need to get clear about what we really want.   Next, Dani goes on a date with Adan. He seems to be everything she is looking for but she doesn't find him attractive.   Subodh, Abbey, Rachel, & David [17:58]   A giant dating lesson from these dates is that dinner is not the best way to get to know another person. Subodh and Abbey went on really fun dates. They both love animals so they went to the zoo. They both enjoyed themselves and it got them out of their comfort zones in a nice way.   Also, the couples used a basic communication style which is what creates connection. Sure, Abbey got nervous when she went out with David because we all get nervous on a date when sharing things about ourselves.   Just because you are neurotypical, doesn't mean you are supposed to know how to make connections and create intimacy.   A great example of how not to take things personally is when David asks Abbey for some of the candy he brought her and she tells him no. He says “OK. It's probably not good for me anyway.” Abbey knows how to say no at the moment which is monumental for not feeling resentment later.   Breaking Up with Dignity and Respect [28:58]   A high-quality person will communicate even when it is bad news. For example, Dani knows it is going to hurt Solomon's feelings when she tells him she isn't interested in dating him again. It is hard for her to do but she respects him enough to tell him.   It is important to be forthright and treat your date the way you want to be treated.   Another example is after the medieval date, James asks Emma if she wants to go out on another date and she says “No. I think we should just be friends.” It is so brave. There are no excuses, only truth.   When you don't say what you feel. You are assuming the other person can't handle the truth. It's disrespectful.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni speaks to a 5 Keys to Becoming Irresistible program graduate about how she found the love of her life in her 40s. After finishing the program, Naomi met her fiance and soon-to-be father of her child on a dating app. She shares what she was missing before joining the program, what she learned during the program, and how she applied the knowledge to meet the love of her life.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Don't give up on your dreams. All men are not the same. Reach out for help when you have tried everything. Stop sabotaging yourself.   Giving Up Without Putting Your Best Self Out There [2:11]   Naomi remembers she was 43 and in a rough place. She had been in a long-term relationship that couldn't last. She got really attached to a guy she had only dated for a week. She knows she wanted kids but her biological clock was ticking. She was even trying to get pregnant on her own with some of the guys she dated.   When you realize you are starting to accept that you may not be able to achieve your dreams, that's when it's time to double down.   Be All You Can Be [6:28]   Naomi had looked online but what drew her to the 5 Keys to Becoming Irresistible program was the vibe that this program was going to be about how she could be the best person she could be to draw in the right person at the right time. She wanted to be in the right headspace to navigate a solid relationship.   There comes a time when you are the common denominator.   During the program, Naomi found the narrowing down of the qualities she was truly looking for super helpful and how to get vulnerable during the dating process. She even got help from Helen, so she could text just the right thing after the program ended.   Biggest Takeaways from the Program [28:48]   Naomi says she may have missed out on THE guy if you generalize all men as the same. Her advice for other ladies who may be ready to give up:   Have an open mind. Don't make excuses. Don't want something so badly that you try to make someone something they are not. Be brave enough to wait for the right person.   Her biggest takeaways from the 5 Keys program:   She has a greater sense of who she is. She gained clarity about what she wanted. She put herself in situations where she would meet more people.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni speaks to the founder of Ordinary Sherpa, Heidi Dusek. Heidi is known as a catalyst, healthy disruptor, and unshakable optimist. She is passionate about challenging the status quo, driving change, and designing experiences. Her forthcoming book, Beyond Normal, inspires families to create authentic travel experiences through meaningful UN-tourism. Listen in to see how she is designing a life of meaningful experiences that inspire joy.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Challenge the status quo Create meaningful experiences Traveling differently — UN-tourism Simple is better How to say yes!   Challenge the Status Quo   The pandemic felt like the universe decided to challenge the status quo. It changed everyone in the world's life. This means that right now we have a unique opportunity to grab onto a new normal that better serves us. And, with more and more companies offering positions for virtual work, we no longer need to orient our lives around where we work. It is a freedom past generations didn't have.   Heidi has long pondered the concept of work-life balance. She recognized that there is no such thing, work is part of life. She decided only to have things in her life that made her joyful. Joy was her North Star. She recommends writing the narrative of what you want your life to be and then designing your new life around that narrative. Heidi's mantra is “I want every day to feel like vacation.”   Highlight the joy of life and get a bit uncomfortable challenging your status quo.   UN-Tourism: Travel Differently   Adventure is about finding out about new places other travelers haven't discovered before. Heidi recalls a story of a small diner that never would have been on her radar if the gas station attendant had not recommended it. Her family loved it and it didn't cost a fortune to feed a family of five.   All types of travelers can create a meaningful life on any type of budget. It normally doesn't take as much planning as we think it does. Scale it back to the basics and relish in your relationships instead of high-priced adventures. It can be less about what you are doing and more about enjoying the journey and getting through the rough spots.   What do you really want out of your life?   Simple Adventures Can Be Worth More   Heidi made a conscious decision to create a “Year of Yes.” Every time she had an opportunity she challenged herself to say yes. It's a reminder that everyone has the power to change their story. You don't need to make the giant, life-altering decisions, just change one thing that challenges you.   What if there is no tomorrow? Do it now!   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni and Chris move on to dissect a new show, The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. The new series means a new group of 20-something couples but the same relationship issues. Does everyone who issued an ultimatum get their way? Was an ultimatum the best way to wash out the issues or is it just a manipulation tool?   Key takeaways from this episode:   Ultimatums can be pattern interrupters Wherever you go, there you are Defaulting to bad behaviors Ultimatums are the opposite of dating with dignity   Manipulating Another Person to Get What You Want   It seems that all the contestants thought they would go on the show and then get their way. So, it begs the question, when we make an ultimatum, are we using manipulation as a tool to make the other person do what we want? Or, we are at our wit's end and are tired of having our non-negotiables infringed upon?   Marni says it is unfortunate but people usually only make changes because they reach a pain point. Chris says some of the couples may be using the ultimatum as a pattern interrupter, an effort to make the other person aware of their patterns that cross a boundary.   If someone gives you an ultimatum is it based on a problem you have or is it about them?   People tend to think they can find someone better but later come to realize maybe they can not. The show highlights this. If the issue is to marry or not to marry, an ultimatum can take the “fantasy” or made-up “other person” out of the equation.   The Ultimatum Couples   The internet loves April after she tells Jake there is a reason why they are not working and it is total BS to acquiesce without solving the issue. Lauren and Nate talk about the baby in a side conversation. Loren accepts Nate's proposal during the show but says they need therapy. Hunter doesn't want anyone else to have Alexis. He seems to be more motivated by fear than love.   If a person gives IN to an ultimatum right away, the issue will likely resurface at some time during the relationship.   Marni reminds us that even if we find someone we believe to be perfect for us, we remain the same until we do the work. Wherever you go, there you are. If we have a problem that has run through all of our relationships, maybe it is time we take a cold hard look at ourselves.   Zay comes home drunk. Rae punches Zay. Zay goes to Shanique to find solace but Shanique calls him out. Zay thought Shanique would accept him no matter how awful he is but she doesn't. Shanique realizes she needs a grown-up man like Randall.   Colby loves Madeline. They live together and have dogs together but after the ultimatum, she goes to Randall. Randall is obviously putting his best foot forward but he will not have sex with her. She gets validation and connection from the passion of physical touch so it forces her to deal with her stuff.   Off-camera Colby goes out to a club to pick up chicks so he could participate in the experiment. Marni loves the scene where Colby goes to meet up with Madeline and her friends and they all rage against him. They say everything you should never say to someone you love.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni speaks with Sage, Coach, Veteran Business Strategist, and Thought Leader, Kalyn Wilson. Kalyn's work experience includes influential non-profits, city government, part CEO, principal consultant, and Ph.D. candidate, and has cultivated talent management wins at Fortune 100 companies. Her life and career outlook are inspiring and thought-provoking. There are so many useful nuggets in this episode!   Key takeaways from this episode:   How to create your life on your terms Managing time and timing The power of waiting on inspiration The new world of work The key to flow   What Makes Kalyn So Special? [2:41]   Kalyn knows how to create the life of her dreams. She has always been an advisor. In her youth, her grandmother would let her know the family's business if she could keep up during conversations. She learned the power of listening and how to quickly read people's facial expressions. Her gift was to be emotionally intelligent enough to know how to respond.   It may not always feel like it, she says but people around us are always paying attention and becoming inspired by our lives in ways we can not always measure.   Recognize your influence and leverage it for good.   How to Get the Life and Career You Deserve [5:34]   Expanding the definition of what is possible for ourselves and using our inner wisdom to know when to take action is how we can create a life we feel in alignment with. Timing makes the difference between us catching a moment or reacting to a moment. The pandemic made a lot of us feel as though we missed our moment a long time ago, but we didn't. The time is now!   The management of time and timing is critical for success and wellbeing.   Kalyn believes that, for many people, it is the destination they focus on and not the journey they are on. If more people took the time to think about their life as a whole, as a journey they would make strategic decisions about who and where they want to be.   We are not machines. Everything needs rest and recovery. When we do not listen to our inner Self, our immune systems weaken and our bodies get stressed out with anxiety. We inherently know when to stop, we just need to trust our journey and do what is best for us.   Don't wait too late. Amazing things happen when we listen to the timing of the universe.   The New World of Work [26:13]   The pandemic made working from home the best alternative for employers to keep their workforces producing. Now, they may be motivated to get people back into the office simply because they have so much money invested in the existing real estate. If you prefer working from home, tell employers the value they get from giving you what you want.   Sometimes we play savior in situations that are not worth being saved.   She reminds us that we are moving out of the post-industrial era and work is changing. Previously, corporations held the power to tell us at what pace work should change. In today's world, talent has the leverage. Tap into what you love to do and where you love to do it. Collect the data, make the ask, and then make decisions about what best aligns with you.   Get clear about exactly what it is that keeps you feeling in control. Be aware of what you want. The key to flow is the willingness to balance wait and action. Everything doesn't need to be now, now, now. True creatives wait for their inspiration. It comes with divine timing. Have compassion for yourself.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni and Chris recap Season Two of Love is Blind. Be warned, Marni binge-watched the season and this episode contains spoilers. Shayne and Sal didn't win at love but won plenty of female followers, Shaina is custom-made for The Bachelor, and Deepti deserves more than a man-child.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Overcoming mistakes in relationships Acceptance and forgiveness Why do people get wasted the night before their wedding? How to be rejection-proof   When You Make a Mistake in a Relationship [2:11]   Marni points out that several incidents must have happened off-camera that are integral to the show and the end of the season seemed a bit disjointed because of it. There are pivotal moments when the couples who got married were able to let things go, forgive, and move on.   The biggest shock was when Shayne got wasted the day before his wedding. He truly showed his warts. If you are dating someone and a huge mistake is made, you must be able to accept their apology. Natalie hears the I'm sorry but she couldn't seem to take in his love and his apology at her soul level. This may result in her building a wall and she may have a hard time opening up in the future. Shayne doesn't know how to say sorry any other way.   Shayne seemed to see beyond Natalie's flaws and to love and accept her for who she was. Natalie seemed like she had an idea of who Shayne was but when she figured out she couldn't control him, she wanted out of the relationship. Shayne told her he wasn't going to change who he was. He needed her to fight for them and it takes two.   Marni believes Natalie set a boundary to run if something like this ever happened. She was looking for reasons to rule Shayne out rather than in. Generally, when men are with someone like Natalie, they never feel good enough.   A lot of people need to make others wrong to feel good about themselves.   Sal & Mallory Breakup at the Altar [22:52]   Again, something must have happened behind the scenes with Sal and Mal that we didn't get to see. Chris thinks Mallory was never as into Sal as much as she should have been. The internet disagrees with her. The ladies of the web find Sal endearing and romantic. He gave Mallory space which is refreshing.   Marni reminds us that we are the common denominator in all of our relationships. It could be possible that people who offer us pure love and attention scare us because we don't know how to accept love and kindness.   Some women create drama where there doesn't need to be any because they don't feel worthy of love.   Shake & Deepti [29:43]   Shake did not feel worthy of Deepti, and he is probably right. Even his mother told him to do Deepti a favor and break it off. He is a real jerk on the reunion show. Marni thinks he is in the process of man-volving but isn't far enough along in his journey to get over the rejection without being childish about it. Deepti deserves a better man.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni speaks with the author of Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love, Jessica Baum. Jessica is the founder of the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach, a practice that provides couples therapy, family counseling, and addiction therapy. She has worked with thousands of clients for over a decade. She helps clients make a meaningful connection with themselves so they can better understand how they relate to people in relationships.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Understanding an Anxious Attachment style What it means to do “the work” Being compassionate toward other people Why your body is holding on to past trauma Cultivating a great, deep love   How the Anxious Attachment Style Relates to Your Love Life [2:17]   Attachment styles are embedded patterns that get developed early in life. They get embedded in our nervous system. We repeat hurts from childhood in our adult relationships because it is the way we learned to adapt, connect, and survive. For anxious people, it comes with a lot of self-sacrifices.   Twenty-five percent of the population has an anxious attachment style. Secure people can feel anxiety in their relationships but people with an anxious attachment system tend to be hyperfocused on the external. They normally have a deep-seated abandonment wound. The way they survive is to make plans and keep things close. They may seem controlling but they are just trying to create calmness in their world.   People with an anxious attachment style are externally focused because they have trouble getting their own needs met.   Is It Intuition or a Past Trauma? [10:35]   When we are young and our hippocampus is not fully formed, we have implicit memory. When we are little we store sensations in our body. When sensations feel big, we know it is an old feeling that is resurfacing. Jessica reminds us that big sensations can be painful and cause us to lash out.   Awareness, compassion, and the right support can help us change behavior.   What are you doing to distract yourself from having real relationships?   Anxiously Attached: The Book [19:22]   A lot of couples go to Jessica when they are activated without understanding on a conscious level why they are acting the way they are. In her book, Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love, Jessica breaks down what is happening to the nervous system of both people in the relationship and describes what they can do to gain a better understanding of what is happening, and what the other person is feeling.   Jessica says that when we form adult relationships we internalize them and they become part of how we build our secure sense of self. It is through these experiences we learn how to self-regulate.   You can't fake safety but you can cultivate it.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni welcomes the newest member of the Institute of Living Courageously, Patricia Diesel to the podcast. Patricia is a speaker, author, professional organizer, and certified life coach, and she educates people on the benefits of being organized to restore tranquility and a sense of order. She has been featured in Cosmo, Women's Day, PBS, and Good Morning America.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Getting rid of old beliefs about who we are Understanding why we want to attract a partner How to release things back into the universe Coming clean to live an authentic life   Why We Need to Declutter [4:01]   When we are emotionally invested in our stuff, it is a reflection of our history and our story. That is why things can be difficult to part with. Patricia says that is why decluttering our homes and our minds can be very cathartic. Professional organizers are trained to ask the questions that individuals don't ask of themselves. Whether or not we are talking about decluttering material things, we are still talking about the clutter that surrounds our emotions and our minds. We invite things into our lives but there is a time to release those things back into the universe to bring us closure and peace of mind.   Our things are a reflection of who we are.   Man Clutter [10:30]   Patricia says we are all a bit messy with some things consistently but, there are some who have chronic disorganization. Women who are always attracting Mr. Wrong are addicted to finding a man who is bad for them. Having bad man habits is akin to hoarding. If they are always with the guy who is bad for them, they are collecting feelings and emotions. Some have a hard time letting go of what is familiar, even if it is unhealthy because they find comfort in the memory.   Let go of your Man Clutter!   If we can get connected to who we really are, free from our unhealthy attachments, free from past experiences, and release our fear we can create a life based on the terms we set for ourselves.   How Removing Clutter Brings Peace and Stability [17:29]   As we begin to learn more about ourselves and we allow ourselves to feel, Patricia says, the process of decluttering becomes beautiful. It offers us a chance to redefine ourselves and to decide who it is that we want to show to the world.   The unhealthy attachment we have to stuff or to men means there is probably a childhood wound at the core of our intentions. Decluttering offers us a chance for us to get to the root of the problem which allows us to grow and heal.   Patricia cautions us to declutter and unpack with baby steps. She recommends locating an area that needs decluttering, considering the amount of time the small project needs, and prioritizing ourselves by truly showing up and getting to work.   When we talk about coming clean and living our authentic life, we need to look at the real reason we want a partner in our life. What is the real reason we are putting ourselves out there to meet people?   Don't lose sight of the real reason we want to attract another person into our lives.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni and Chris recap another episode of Season Two of Love is Blind. The couples are finally spending time together. They get 24-48 hours alone to see if the connections they made in the pods remain true. And, spoiler alert, love is not blind.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Being clear about what you want Sabotaging a relationship because you are insecure Looks are not everything Core values are the most important thing in relationships   Masculine & Feminine Energy [2:03]   This episode of Love is Blind, kicks off with Mallory and Sal getting 48-hours alone to find out if their relationship has what it takes to survive an engagement. Mallory seems playful, feminine, and coy when interacting with Sal. But, when she speaks with Jarrette later in the show she drops into her masculine and sounds like a dude.   Chris says Mallory is walking around like a red flag by describing how different and deserving she is. He adds that it is probably a protective measure. Chris also notes that the outcome of the show is getting engaged, so Mallory's hitting on Jarrette can be construed as emotional cheating.   Does Mallory want to be everybody's bro or does she want to be the love interest?   Marni says that when we are left to our own devices, without accountability or self-awareness, many women sabotage relationships with great guys. It feels weird because a person is being nice to us and we don't know what to do with it. Women unusually revert back to their familiar habits and go for the same old type of guy.   Looks Aren't Everything: The Nerd Gets Insecure & Judgy [9:03]   In the pod portion of the show, hair and makeup must have been revved up because everyone looked like a jacked-up version of themselves. But in the most recent show, Deepti looked like a girl you would see at Walmart. There is nothing wrong with her naturalness which is why Shake wins the jerk of the year award.   Chris thinks Shake is desperate to leave his nerdy, chubby kid back in the past and wants to be super cool now that he has lost weight. He is insecure and feels not worthy so he judges others in the harsh light that others used to judge him.   Focusing on looks gets in the way of true love and intimacy because if you don't have shared values you will not have real, long-term chemistry with the person.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni welcomes the hosts of the mental health podcast, A Little Help for Our Friends, Jaqueline Trumbull, and Kibby McMahon. Jaqueline is a member of Bachelor Nation, a Ph. D. student at Duke, who studies how interpersonal functioning is impacted by personality, and shame, and contempt. Kibby is a Clinical Psychologist and a Yogi whose passion is in helping people connect more deeply with themselves and others.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Why we do what we do Changing our narrative Managing emotions The importance of trying something new in dating Applying a growth mindset to life   How Jaqueline & Kibby Came Together [5:01]   Jaqueline and Kibby met at Duke University. They discovered they had stimulating conversations together. Jaqueline had been on the Bachelor which created a bit of a social media following. The duo decided to create a podcast to use their power for good. The podcast, A Little Help for Our Friends, focused on the mental health sphere of people who were suffering collateral damage from mental health issues and personality disorders.   Why We Do What We Do [8:32]   The love we receive as a child becomes our narrative for what love should look like. It can create definitive schemas, which are the way we perceive ourselves in the world. It may be that we develop a schema that we don't deserve love or that we are not important in a relationship. As we grow older and get into relationships, we attract people who make us feel like love made us feel when we were smaller. We stay in the pattern until we change it and we play out stories that don't feel resolved.   The love you received as a child becomes your narrative for what love looks like in your life going forward.   Our identities are flexible and can change over time. We have a choice in the identity we want to take on. Some people are afraid of what change will look like for them. We can change without destabilizing ourselves.   Becoming Emotionally Bonded & Regulating Emotions [19:15]   Marni asks the co-hosts of A Little Help for Our Friends what contributes to our emotional bonding. At certain times in our lives, we may emotionally bond with people who fill certain needs even though they may not be suitable for long-term commitments. It's important to ask ourselves what the relationship is serving. If it fills an unmet need from childhood it may not last.   Happiness and living a meaningful life are living in accordance with our values. But, to know our values we have to dig deep into what we want for ourselves. Emotions make us do things that may not be aligned with our values. Negative emotions aren't bad, they just direct us to do certain things.   Inaction is a choice.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni and Chris recap the third episode of Season Two of Love is Blind. The group finally leave the pods and head to Cancun to see if they are compatible face-to-face. Questions abound over the producers choice to make certain people disappear if the relationships they formed were not saucy or controversial enough.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Being a second choice isn't necessarily a bad thing Unless in a committed relationship it is OK to date other people Wanting someone to change for you The issues that are not worth breaking up over   Getting Together After He Tries Out the Other Girl [2:46]   In the episode, Jarret chooses between Mallory over Iyanna. Mallory flat out tells Jarret that she is not interested. She does it honestly and succinctly, which is how it should be. There should be no ghosting or ignoring text when telling a guy you are not interested.   Can a relationship work out if you know you were not the other person's first choice?   Chris says we should all be dating other people before a commitment is made. That is how we get a clear understanding of what we like and what we don't like. If we let our ego get in the way and take an initial rejection personally, we may miss out on a great opportunity.   When a guy says he likes someone else then shows up in your inbox a month or so later to reconnect, give him a second chance.   Looks Aren't Everything [14:16]   Shaina tells Shayne she really likes him but Shayne says he likes Natalie. So, Shaina starts hanging with Kyle, who is a vegetarian. Shaina tells him if he wants to be with her he should eat meat. As soon as he eats meat, she leaves saying she is still attracted to Shayne.   When Natalie meets Shayne she quips that she thought he would be goofy. She obviously finds him physically appealing but something is a little off with their connection. Marni says she sees this all the time with her clients. They often want a guy to be who they want him to be so badly, that they continue to date him even if something is off.   Is an Issue Worth Breaking Up Over? [26:45]   In the episode another important point surrounding non-negotiables is brought up when Danielle is not happy that Nick uses organic toothpaste and homemade body wash. Should a personal choice be a deal breaker, or is it something that couples get used to?   Marni says people should spend more time ruling each other in, instead of ruling them out. Be curious about the other person and remember you have habits that someone else might find annoying. Would you want them not to date you because of them?   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Marni welcomes inspirational speaker, author, and esteemed member of the transformational leadership council, Kute Blackson, into the studio to discuss his latest book, The Magic of Surrender. Kute shares the transformational opportunity that appeared when his mother was diagnosed with a fatal illness and how his book sprung from his soul and onto the page.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Myths and misconceptions about surrender Moving into alignment with the universe Start telling yourself the truth about what you want Overcome past conditioning about what you need from life   The Magic of Surrender [2:51]   In our culture today there is a common misconception about what surrender truly means. It often means giving up and had negative connotations. A myth is that when you surrender you get less but Kuke says it's the opposite. Surrender is the most powerful thing you can do. Surrender is the key to manifesting your wildest dreams.   To surrender is when we stop trying to force and manipulate life to fit into our limited idea of how we think life should be. Surrendering opens ourselves to the life that seeks to organically happen from our soul.   Release and let go of what is no longer authentic or aligned with you.   The Process of Surrendering [13:27]   Human beings lie to themselves to keep themselves safe. We stay in relationships we know are not right. We stay in jobs, friendships, and circumstances that we know compromise our integrity but they stay due to security.   A simple and practical place to begin surrendering is by telling the truth to ourselves about who we are, what we feel, and what we want. Kute says if we just start with the truth we will set ourselves free. Issues in our lives will start to dissolve as we live in our truth.   Ask yourself what you want more than anything else, what you are pretending you don't know, and what is lying to yourself costing you.   Myths and Misconceptions about Surrender [23:11]   To overcome past programming and conditioning and to live in action without attachment, we need to ask ourselves what the universe, the divine, or our souls wish to express through us. And, when we align ourselves with the answer, our truth, then we begin moving into action without attachments and in flow.   Our motivation is aligned with our soul. That is what moves us forward. And, when we take action that is aligned with our soul we feel a level of peace. The universe gives us proof that we can trust life.   Work in alignment with your truth and listen to life's feedback.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

In this Check Your Life podcast, Marni and Chris break down the real-life dating lessons from the most recent episode of the Bachelorette. Bachelorette Michelle is throwing out a lot of pink flags, and it has the guys confused. The guys need to know exactly what she wants but she or the producers are creating a lot of inconsistencies and confusion.   Key takeaways from this episode:  Are you leaking your insecurities? Do you pick guys who tell you what you want to hear? Is your feminine energy blocked by your masculine energy? Does your style enhance who you are or cover it up?    Whose Style Is It Anyway? [1:35] The show starts off with Michelle's date with Martin. Marni finds Martin distracting and thinks he is trying very hard to make a statement with his image. A Stylist on the Life Check Yourself team says if your image shows up before you do, you are hiding in your clothes. People should notice you, not what you are wearing.  Your style should showcase you, not cover up who you are. Marni and Chris offer some tips for when you find yourself on a date with Mr. Try Hard. Basically, when dating IRL don't fall for a guy's potential! There is a chance Martin could change, but it is not likely. Marni and Chris agree he is a boy who is not ready to be engaged.   The Slumber Party [15:12] Viewers may never know if this group activity was designed to invoke drama but it sure seemed like it. The producers put the guys in silky pajamas but then in a masculine environment. Chris says it had to be staged. Someone knew the guys would not make a love connection because they were in battle mode due to all the testosterone in the room.  Michelle shows up and none of the guys pay attention to her. She obviously wanted more attention yet she didn't get involved she sat and sulked. She says she didn't feel seen. She scolds the guys for not giving her what she wanted which surprised them because she had not told them what she wanted. Marni says Michelle is a classic example of a woman who is extremely pretty and smart and should be super confident but something in her childhood left her insecure. She should speak to a life coach or therapist. When you feel small your vibe is small.    Let Your Feminine Energy Shine Through [29:39] Michelle displays a lot of masculine energy. She dresses very feminine to try and balance it out. Michelle is a basketball, tomboy-type girl yet the producers have her dressed in heels and ball gowns. It must be so confusing for the guys.  If a guy doesn't know where he stands or what you want he will do nothing.  Marni believes it is giving her the friendzone vibe which confuses the guys because they signed up to get engaged. Chris says the guys are having a hard time reading her because she isn't being flirtatious.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Websites, Dating With Dignity and Institute For Living Courageously Join Our Life Check Yourself Community Here!

In this Life Check Yourself podcast, Marni facilitates a live coaching episode with Michelle. Michelle has been divorced for almost eight years. She has been dating for a while but seems to sabotage relationships when she starts falling for a guy because she is scared. Marni offers her some tools to use when she feels herself pulling away.   Key takeaways from this episode:  Redefining what a high-quality guy is Creating emotional safety  Being compassionate with your process How to stop sabotaging relationships   Why Are You Scared to Get Close? [2:39] Michelle dates outgoing, professional guys who are fun to be with but elusive. They look good on paper and check all the boxes and should-haves. What is holding Michelle back is that internally she feels as soon as things start going well she will become disappointed. Therefore, she never achieves emotional intimacy with them, even after dating for a couple of years. This stems from having her feelings hurt and not feeling heard when she was a child.  There is a difference between being cautiously optimistic and having expectations.  Michelle doesn't trust her feelings because no one validated her as a child. Deep down she fears abandonment. She recognizes she feels stuck and needs to nurture the little girl inside of her.           The Path to Meet a High-Quality Man [27:03] Marni offers Michelle the tools to help her connect to her intuition and her essence. When she empowers herself to have the emotional intelligence she wants to have, she will feel emotionally safe and grounded. Marni reminds her that we attract who we are. If she is emotionally open, she will attract a man who is also emotionally open.    By creating our own emotional safety we start attracting people into our lives who are emotionally available.   Michelle is going to: Be more compassionate with her process.  Address her little girl inside and reassure and validate her.  Recognize when she starts to feel scared and calm herself. Start trusting herself and allow herself to be optimistic about relationships.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Websites, Dating With Dignity and Institute For Living Courageously Join Our Life Check Yourself Community Here!

In this Check Your Life podcast, Marni and Chris discuss the dating traps exhibited by the guy contestants in the latest episode of the Bachelorette. Who does Michelle choose when presented with a strong contrast between looks-good-on-paper Jamie and the not-sure-I-am-good-enough Rodney?   Key takeaways from this episode:  Why checking boxes is a bad way to date How F-boys keep you hooked Moving guys out of the friendzone The vulnerability-vagina connection   His Worth is Not Your Worth [1:25] Marni notes that too many women become focused on how a guy looks on paper and whether or not he checks all the boxes. She warns against this because when we get attached to the idea of someone and not shared values, we end up with the wrong partner. For example, Bachelor Jamie is CEO of a biomedical tech company. He fits the image a girl would be super happy to talk to her friends and family about when we peek behind the curtain he has been seen putting other dudes down and telling everyone else they are wrong.  Big red flags there. The person you date does not add to your worthiness.  Jamie tries to trap Michelle by saying he is trying to protect her, yet he is the one planting seeds of doubt in her mind. Plus, Chris points out Jamie hangs out with the not-so-nice guys and you know what they say about birds of a feather. Jamie displays a complete lack of humbleness. He can not be silly or laugh at himself. Who wants to date someone like that? Sometimes we want to see what we want to see. That is why it is important to get clear about our values because we could be missing out on a great guy.          Why Do We Put Some Guys in the Friendzone? [17:56] Enter Rodney. When he approaches Michelle he does the opposite of Jamie and tells her that he may not be this and he may not be that but asks her to give him a try. While it did catch Michelle off guard, she asked him why he would start a conversation (or a contest for that matter) in that way. He just unwittingly put himself in the friendzone! Ladies, if you feel that the guys you are attracted to never want to commit, but the guys you are attracted to are not interested in you, this may be the issue.   If you have gone out on a few dates and you like a guy but are not feeling it, what can you test the waters to see if he is just nervous or if he has low self-worth?  First, if a guy has low self-worth HE IS NOT YOUR GUY.  Tell him how you are feeling and ask him if he knows what might be missing from your interactions.   Chris says that men who are worth a damn will love doing something brave and show you who they really are. With the caveat that sometimes they need instructions.   Lessons Gleaned About F-Boys [30:05] The clever ones know how to work the system. When true F-boys feel a woman is moving away, they turn on the waterworks. Or, when they feel you are getting clingy they move far enough away to keep you hooked. F-boys have colorful stories but they use their powers for evil instead of good.    Make a Connection: Visit Our Websites, Dating With Dignity and Institute For Living Courageously Join Our Life Check Yourself Community Here!

Here at the Laughing Couple Podcast our aim is to bring laughter, communication and love into the relationships of our amazing community. Often that looks like bringing those thing BACK into a relationship; but today we talk about building it from Day 1... and by day 1, we mean is the first date. Here to help us with the first date, and dating within today's Covid Restrictions is Dating/Relationship Expert Marni Battista; Certified Professional Dating and Relationship Coach and Expert, writer, and nationally recognized; TV (CBS & ABC - Dr. Drew, Dr. Phil and Ryan Seacrest ), print, and online magazine (Cosmopolitan Magazine, Yahoo! Shine, Huffington Post, YourTango.com, CupidsPulse.com, Men’s Fitness, Glamour and more). Marni’s is the host of a weekly dating and relationship podcast, “The Dating Den,” and she was named one of the 10 Best Women’s Dating Experts by @DatingAdviceCom.Connect with our Guest:https://datingwithdignity.com/https://www.facebook.com/Datingwithdignity/https://www.instagram.com/datingwithdignity/https://twitter.com/marnibattista

On this week's Bachelor recap, Marni and Chris relate the on-screen drama to real-life dating scenarios. Michelle takes off as a front runner, Sarah does the right thing, and Queen Victoria overreacts, again. Chris cites examples from the man-panelist segment of the previous Ignite Your Life event.   Key takeaways from this episode:  Why it is a bad idea to stalk your date online Bringing up the drama in your life on first dates What to do if you feel ignored by a guy  The beauty of being authentic   Don’t Judge a Guy Based On His Instagram Profile  [2:38] Whether we realize it or not we all have cognitive bias. Many women automatically think that all men are this, or all men are like that. This type of thinking comes from our limiting beliefs. So, when we search for information online about a guy, you will view it through the lens of what your limiting belief is.  Chris shares an example of a man panel experience where a woman's limiting belief was guys were intimidated because she does very well financially. But, that was the story she told herself. Her limiting beliefs were leaking. There is an armor that comes up to protect us from whatever the limiting belief is attempting to protect us from.  Don't stalk someone online just let them show up as who they are. What if I am Feeling Ignored and Scared? [11:43] During the Bachelor, Queen Victoria felt ignored by Matt. Her reaction to feeling ignored came off as vulnerable and needy. Marni says a better strategy would be to do what Bri did. The entire concept of the show is for a guy to leave a series of breadcrumbs, but the ladies do not have to take the bait.  If you are in a situation where a guy is breadcrumbing for two months, try saying, “I'm in a place where I am looking to meet people, see if there is a connection, and date them. What are you looking for? If you would ask me out, I would say yes." If you approach the situation like above and the guy needs more than that, get the heck out of there. You don't want to be with someone so wishy-washy!  Be direct. Tell him you are done with the BS but in a nice way.  If you are putting yourself in front of a guy and he is not picking up what you are putting down, just say no. Then, ask yourself why you are doing it. What do you need to learn that keeps you attracted to or interested in that   Michelle is Magic [33:43] Marni and Chris talk about Matt's date with Michelle. They both agree that she didn’t stand out as a front runner before the great date.  Michelle is not the glamoury, Instagram-type model with a traditional sense of beauty. But, being irresistible isn't just about what size you are, your ‘prettiness’ level, etc. Being fun with playful energy goes a long way.  At first, Chris says he was watching the Matt/Michelle date with his guy eye.  He didn’t think much about her but by the end of watching the date, he found her gorgeous. Marni says it is because Michelle is authentic and she is genuinely trying to find out if Matt is the guy for her.  When you are in 'I hope you pick me' mode you are self-moderating to try and be who you think the person would like.    Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

To celebrate Ignite Your Life (IYL) month, Marni welcomes former IYL attendee and Dating With Dignity client, Marie into the Den. Marie shares why this experience was significant for her, why women should prioritize this aspect of their lives, and how her dating life changed after attending the event.  Key takeaways from this episode:  How to shift limiting beliefs Embracing vulnerability Investing time into what you value Why being needy isn’t a bad thing How you can Ignite Your Life   You Have to Start Somewhere [2:18] Marie was floored when her eldest niece got engaged. She had been excelling in all other parts of her life except dating. It was the kick she needed to make her take action. She says she happened upon one of Marni’s early videos and it eventually changed her life.    At first, she didn’t want to be one of the women who needed to attend the Ignite Your Life event. She felt like a loser in love. Yet, when she arrived she noticed everyone there looked like her, a sharp, successful, and single woman.     The community I met at Ignite Your Life made me realize I was not an outcast and I was not alone.    Shifting Your Narrative [15:14]  Marie experienced an awakening during the 3-day investment that was well worth the time. The lessons were efficient and effective. From the style consultant, she realized she had been hiding her feminine side under her business casual clothes. From the belief exercise, she learned what long-held beliefs were holding her back.    She realized, in dating, it is not about whether men liked her. It was a monumental shift when it registered that dating was to find out if I liked them.                          You deserve to be happy.    A Powerful Journey [23:50] Marie continues to learn that the only way to deepen her connections is for her to be vulnerable. She still reminds herself to ask for what she needs without worrying about a guy’s reaction. She used to categorize it as needy, now she knows it is just information. Needy used to be labeled as bad but really it is just being human.    Asking for what you need from your heart space is like a roadmap for your partner.   Marie says she met some lifelong friends at the Ignite Your Life event and it was worth the time and monetary investment.    Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

In this episode, Marni Battista teaches us how to identify and begin to release the shame message that we picked up in childhood and is ruining all our relationships. Dating coach, Marni Battista, is the queen of making her clients irresistible to men in today's dating environment. In a world complicated by the ‘buffet' --try it and leave it'-- approach to dating and relationship, further complicated by technology and increasingly confusing gender roles, Dating With Dignity teaches successful women a cutting edge process based on neuroscience and authenticity to attract not just any man, but the one who will be your partner, equal, and person with whom you can create a pathway to a life of meaning, intimacy and personal fulfillment. Marni is a certified professional Dating and Relationship Coach and Expert, writer, and nationally recognized print and online magazine expert. She has been featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine, Yahoo!

Marni was named one of the 10 Best Women's Dating Experts by DatingAdvice.com In this episode, we discuss: ·      How Marni's personal story of “having a bad picker” led her to helping others identify their own patterns rather than blame others for their trouble in relationships. ·      How we should look at life and our experiences as data, not drama, to identify our patterns so we can work on them. ·      What those patterns – like dating unavailable people or people we think we can fix – are telling us about how we actually feel about ourselves. And spoiler alert – it's more complicated than just self-worth. ·      The most common shame messages we have and how they play out in our lives and relationships. ·      How ultimately it comes down to changing neural pathways which takes time and a holistic approach. ·      And how our attitude and beliefs affect our energy and the vibe we are putting out into the world.

On today’s episode, all of this week’s guests have generously provided BONUS MATERIAL, not included in the interviews you listened to earlier this week. Each one has provided incredible examples of the power of following your “Yes”. Enjoy! Roy BiancalanaNot Following - Roy tells a great story of when he broke up with a woman and got back together with her for the wrong reason and the very powerful example of what happens when you don’t follow your “Yes”. Following - He followed his “Yes” with his wife and it was scary. But he knew it was his “Yes” even though he was terrified of how his wife would respond.  Ultimately, it brought them closer. Listen to Roy’s full interview here (https://speakingofpartnership.com/037-roy-biancalana/) Connect with Roy - www.coachingwithroy.com (http://www.coachingwithroy.com) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B0RP1YW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00B0RP1YW&linkCode=as2&tag=speakofpartn-20&linkId=WS7P74VF42QHMXJ5) A Drink with Legs: From Being Hooked to Being Happy--A Spiritual Path to Relationship Bliss (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B0RP1YW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00B0RP1YW&linkCode=as2&tag=speakofpartn-20&linkId=5FMS2O2CKCPD3W4Y) Email Roy at roy@coachingwithroy.com (mailto:roy@coachingwithroy.com) and he will send you an electronic version of his book “A Drink With Legs” for FREE Roy’s Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/roybiancalana) Marni BattistaNot Following - Marni has a series of emails where she was saying it wasn’t a good idea, but the person she was emailing told her it was just a limiting belief and she caved. She did not defend her “Yes” and it ended up being an “epic disaster.” But when it came to following her “Yes” regarding her team she trusted her “Yes” and fought for it because it was on the behalf of someone else. Big lesson. Following - Marni was hiring some folks and this woman was so nice and trying so hard, but they were not a match and she knew it in her gut. So she let this person go and she has never regretted it.
