Sherry and Carla kick off this week tooting their own horn and then take a Love Fix question on self-care and why it can be extra hard during a relationship. They then welcome Dr. Betsy Chung, clinical psychologist in Southern California with over 10 years experience as a clinician in the mental health field. They discuss self-esteem: what it looks like in relationships, what a lack of it can do for our life, and how to get more of it. Dr. Betsy also talks about how to begin gaining your own self esteem and self worth even after a difficult and not so supportive upbringing.   What You'll Hear In This Episode:   A Love Fix question about practicing self care throughout the ups and downs of a relationship, and why codependents tend to struggle with self care. Going through something? Don't see it as a setback — try to see it as an experience that is shaping the next version of you and giving you resilience and confidence. Dr. Betsy shares her definition of self-esteem and personal story of becoming independent and free of self doubt. When you have a healthy self esteem, you can be your true self and not have to hide behind a facade. The difference between self esteem and self worth. Resources to connect with Dr. Betsy, along with ways to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency, dating, healing from toxic relationships and gaining confidence. How does someone find themselves when they have very critical parents? What does a lack of self esteem typically look like? Most clients come in acknowledging that they have self esteem issues, but it takes a while for the buy in to happen. When Dr. Betsy's clients are able to see what a respectful and healthy relationship looks like, they can see that they deserve good treatment and it starts changing the barometer of what they expect from relationships.   Tweetables: “When we are kids we assume that it's our parents' way or the highway but no, we just didn't know any better.” - Dr. Betsy “Every experience is a layer to the next version of yourself.” - Sherry “It's so empowering to tell your story and to release that.” - Carla “Having self esteem is really the glue to your guiding self in a healthy relationship.”  - Carla “Nothing in our head is absolute truths, it is just things we got used to saying.” - Dr. Betsy   Connect with Us!   The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership The Love Fix Relationship Quiz     Sign up for a Connection call with Sherry https://sherrygaba.com/coaching/life-coaching/    Join Sherry's FREE 5-day Codependency and Toxic Relationship Challenge.  Join the FREE Toxic & Codependent Relationship Transformation Challenge    Find Out More:    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents and Toxic Relationships     Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Dr. Betsy Chung  Website | Instagram | Facebook  Today's episode is sponsored by Carla's book Contagious Love: Break Free from Codependency for Damn Good and Sherry's book Love Smacked: How To Stop the Cycle of Relationship Addiction and Codependency To Find Everlasting Love.  Thanks to Contagious Love and Love Smacked for sponsoring this episode.

Carla and Sherry start the show revealing they both have the same love language, words of affirmation. They then take a Love Fix question on what to do if you are rolling into “cuffing” season alone, and then welcome Dr. Diane Poole Heller to the show. Diane is an internationally recognized speaker, author, and expert in the field of attachment theory and trauma resolution. She talks with Sherry and Carla about what attachment style we are born with and how trauma can affect it, along with some hope for people looking to heal their attachment wounds.

What should I do?  What is cuffing season?  Dr. Diane's signature series called DARe (Dynamic Attachment Repatterning experience) helps facilitate more fulfilling adult relationships.

Sherry and Carla start this week with the age old question - bikini or one piece? Then, they take a Love Fix question on if emotionally available men really exist before welcoming Confidence Therapist, Dating Strategist, and Kimmy Seltzer to the show. Kimmy is also the host of The Charisma Quotient podcast, and her signature formula for helping her clients feel confident leads to them radiating energy and self love from the outside in. Kimmy shares her own story from going frumpy to fabulous in her own life, and the red dress that changed it all. She gives her advice for building confidence and what men really notice about a woman on a date. She gives her advice for creating a foolproof “dating prep plan”, stepping into feminine energy, and showing the world that your cab light is turned on and you are ready for love!    What You'll Hear In This Episode:   Bikini, Tankini, or One-Piece? Sherry and Carla both share how they are showing up this summer at the beach.  A Love Fix Question - are emotionally available men out there? How does one find one?  Kimmy defines confidence as having experience, so of course we aren't confident in dating if we don't do it often enough.  What exactly is a Confidence Makeover, and how can the way we dress and show up in the world affect our inner confidence?  Kimmy works from the outside in, helping her clients discover styles that flatter their figure and make them feel the best versions of themselves. How can you raise your style intelligence?  When we are in our feminine energy, we are able to receive the gifts of the universe, and the Law of Attraction is kicked into motion.  Both men and women have a responsibility to be approachable. When you are playful and open, people are more naturally drawn your way.  Looking for that push to get to the next level of self love? Kimmy shares resources to work with her, along with ways to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency, dating, healing from toxic relationships and gaining confidence. Need to learn how to flirt? Kimmy can help you with her Flirt Academy.  Even if you aren't interested in dating, showing up in the world with confidence and curiosity is great for friendships and business.  Create a date prep plan for yourself, where you focus on getting into your best energy through all the senses.    Tweetables:  “What you repress will be expressed.” - Sherry  “Sometimes when you shift your clothes and body language, it's what actually helps the inside grow.” - Kimmy  “Instead of working from the inside out, I work from the outside in.” - Kimmy  “Create a dating prep plan.” - Kimmy    Connect with Us!   The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership The Love Fix Relationship Quiz     Sign up for a Connection call with Sherry https://sherrygaba.com/coaching/life-coaching/    Find Out More:    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents and Toxic Relationships     Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Kimmy Seltzer  Ask Kimmy | Website | YouTube |Instagram  | Podcast  Today's episode is sponsored by Carla's book Contagious Love: Break Free from Codependency for Damn Good and Sherry's book Love Smacked: How To Stop the Cycle of Relationship Addiction and Codependency To Find Everlasting Love.  Thanks to Contagious Love and Love Smacked for sponsoring this episode.

Who doesn't love strawberries in summertime? Carla and Sherry start off the show sharing their strong feelings over this fruit, and then encourage listeners to check out their new waitlist-only Love Fix Coaching Program.  Then they answer the Love Fix question- is there any way for an anxious-avoidant attachment style listener to become secure? Sherry shares an exercise anyone can do to focus deeply on their circle of love and practice receiving love.  Then, they welcome Amy Feidler, Certified Trauma Support Specialist, Holistic Life Coach and Reiki Master Practitioner.  Amy shares insights into the trauma and childhood experiences that are often behind people pleasing, how to avoid getting into an unhealthy relationship with- or as- a people pleaser, and how to share all of yourself so that someone can fall in love with all of you.    What You'll Hear In This Episode:   Codependency starts in childhood, but that doesn't mean it has to ruin your adult life and relationships.  People pleasing habits form when we try to overcome someone's rejection by gaining their approval.  Knowing that you are enough is key to not worrying about pleasing others.  Do you know how to say no? That is the number one symptom of people pleasing.  Amy outlines the first step to un-doing the people pleasing- make your voice the loudest voice in your head. Stress and relationship wounds have to be healed before we can own our sense of self.  Inner child work can get difficult, but you don't have to do the work alone.  Amy's trauma certification helps her clients work through their fight or flight reactions during healing.  How to connect and work with Amy  either in a group or 1:1, along with ways to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency and gaining confidence. People pleasing in professional settings is real, and have to be overcome with clearly defined boundaries.  What is the biggest hurdle in a relationship with a people pleaser? You are allowed to have a difference of opinion from your partner.  Other people's insecurities are their issue, not yours.  Own every part of your badass self! Playing small will only attract people who aren't right for you.  Be yourself so that someone can fall in love with all of you.    Tweetables: “In order to have an intimate relationship, you've got to be intimate with yourself.”- Sherry  “If you're seeking someone's approval, then you've felt their rejection on some level.” -Amy “If you don't even know what your preferences are, how can you possibly know what's important to you in a relationship?” -Sherry “Playing small will only attract people who aren't right for you.” -Amy   Connect with Us!   The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership The Love Fix Relationship Quiz     Sign up for a Connection call with Sherry https://sherrygaba.com/coaching/life-coaching/    Find Out More:    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents and Toxic Relationships     Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Amy Fielder Website | Facebook | Instagram | Books  Today's episode is sponsored by Carla's book Contagious Love: Break Free from Codependency for Damn Good.  Thanks to Contagious Love for sponsoring this episode.

It's what you do with it that becomes unhealthy.” - Rhoberta  “Hijackals have to win, so they will be fault finding to keep themselves in a superior place.” - Rhoberta  “Hijackles paint a public picture of perfection, while at home they provide a private place of pain.” - Rhoberta    Connect with Us!   The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership The Love Fix Relationship Quiz     Sign up for a Connection call with Sherry https://sherrygaba.com/coaching/life-coaching/    Find Out More:    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents and Toxic Relationships     Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Dr. Rhoberta Shaler  Website | Save Your Sanity Podcast | Facebook | Instagram | Books    Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.

Then, they welcome coach and Marriage and Family Therapist Bree Jenkins on, where she talks about the current landscape of digital dating. Bree shares the important things to make sure you have if you are back out there online looking for love, and how to see ghosting as a blessing.

What red flags should we look for in our own behavior that may show us we aren't ready to date quite yet? Bree discusses the three “A”'s that we need to be aware of: addiction, abuse, and affairs.

How to join Bree's Diamond Dating Course, along with ways to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency and gaining confidence. How can we learn to not overshare, especially on the first date? Yes, you may get judged after telling the truth about your life and previous relationships, but you may also get judged favorably for being open and transparent. So much of when you make disclosures is about your energy and your judgement about yourself. How can I tell the difference between love bombing and when someone is just very interested? Bree's tips for success in the digital dating world. Yes, it means getting yourself a good profile! If 40% of relationships were initiated online before the pandemic, there are sure to be even more now.

It will find me.” - Bree “There is always more love.” - Bree “Ghosting can also be a people-pleasing response.” - Carla “If you don't take accountability for what you did, then you are likely to do it again.” - Bree “We also judge people favorably, and no one complains about that.” - Bree “Never take ghosting personally, because it's never about yourself.” - Carla   Connect with Us!   The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership The Love Fix Relationship Quiz     Sign up for a Connection call with Sherry https://sherrygaba.com/coaching/life-coaching/    Find Out More:    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents and Toxic Relationships     Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Bree Jenkins  Website | Instagram | Diamond Dating    Dating Someone with Anxiety  Dr. Laura   Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.

Sherry gets ready for a fun staycation, and then she and Carla take a Love Fix question about what to do when you think the person you are seeing is also seeing other people. Then, they welcome Dr. Deb Hirschhorn, Ph.D., Marriage & Family Therapist. Deb has a specialty in trauma healing and helps couples learn to first love themselves and tame their triggers before learning how to communicate with their partner. She talks with Sherry and Carla about how to parent your inner child, what the Internal Family Systems model is, and what to look for when picking a trusted therapist.   What You'll Hear In This Episode:   A Love Fix question — what do you do when your intuition tells you the person you are seeing is also dating other people? How does our attachment style also play a role in what we do next? The conversations that you have with your partner are the conversations about unhealed work in your childhood. Our partners provide a mirror for us to look at what needs to be healed. Communication is a necessary step in your relationship, but working on your own internal trauma and triggers takes precedence. Dr. Deb explains some indicators of what may look like abuse vs. when you feel the triggered feeling is coming from inside you. The Internal Family Systems model is one tool that Dr. Deb uses with her clients. It helps people learn to heal and negotiate with the family living inside of you, so you can learn to respond rather than react. Resources to Deb's Love Yourself, Love Your Marriage Masterclass, along with ways to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency and gaining confidence. What about if one partner is ready to face their triggers, but their partner isn't ready?   When does it become more mature love?

Sherry opens the show with some probing news about an upcoming doctor’s visit, and then she and Carla bond over the annoying nature of living with IBS. Then, they answer A Love Fix question about getting out of a victim’s mentality before welcoming Yasmin Ezomor, spiritual mentor, shadow work specialist, and relationship coach.

She also stresses the importance of having support around you as you do shadow work and opens up about how she personally is leading with integrity in her work after experiencing some emotional upheaval.   What You’ll Hear In This Episode:   Sherry and Carla bond over their IBS and how awful it is, and we cheer Sherry on as she practices what she preaches about self-care in the form of a colonoscopy! A Love Fix Question on how to stop living in a victim mentality. Yasmin’s mission is to support others on their spiritual journey by helping them uncover their wounds so they can attract meaningful relationships and opportunities. Yasmin talks about hitting her rock bottom at 21 and the spiritual awakening that led her down the path of inner healing and expansion. Why we should look at dating as a social experiment, rather than going in with a ton of expectations that later lead to resentments. What shadow work is and how we can use this amazing modality. What happens when we start to repress the shadow parts of ourselves, and how that turns into trauma. Surrendering to our feelings doesn’t mean just giving up, but going with the flow and accepting our current reality. Journaling is a really big part of being able to break down the shadow and our inner wounds. You have to be ready for shadow work, and there is no pressure to do it. If you don’t want to heal, that’s okay, but forcing yourself to do something is not going to be helpful. It’s important that you actually have the intention of WANTING to do it. Sometimes the shifts and breakthroughs in shadow work can be huge and super quick, while other times it is a slow progress that we need to refresh every so often. Ways to get more of Yasmin including her Humanity Feels podcast, along with resources from Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency and gaining confidence. How having a coach can help you feel supported and seen during your shadow work. What the shadow work outcomes may look like for someone who feels unlovable and goes from one toxic relationship to the next.   Tweetables:   “It is not personal. You don’t know this person well enough for it to be personal.” - Carla “You have to date as a whole person, not as a half person.” - Sherry “The body keeps the score. If we are not conscious and self-aware, it catches up with us.” - Yasmin “We think the mind leads the way, but really it’s the body.” - Yasmin “Healing takes time.

We also talk about what really makes a narcissist want to work on their behavior, how to spot red flags as you are out there on the dating scene, and how to know when to call it quits.   Carista Luminare, Ph.D., has more than 40 years experience as a counselor, consultant and educator to individuals, couples and families. In her counseling practice, she integrates her lifelong research on early bonding patterns and how they impact our identity and our adult relationship dynamics.   Lion Goodman, PCC, is CEO of Luminary Leadership Institute and creator of the Clear Beliefs Method. He has 35 years experience as an executive coach, counselor, and healer. In 1984, he founded The Goodman Group, an executive search and consulting firm which served more than 250 companies and C-suite executives during its 18-year history.   What You’ll Hear In This Episode:   Our real and transparent feelings about sharing our private life online as a therapist and coach. A Love Fix question about dating after 40 as a single parent, and who we really feel you should take a look at. Lion and Carista share their individual and joint interesting and impressive backgrounds as healers, educators, coaches and more. We discuss what trauma bonds are, why we have them, and how our attachment style is influenced by the relationship with our primary caregiver. More about the four attachment/love styles: secure, insecure anxious, insecure avoidant, and insecure traumatic. Why people with insecure attachment styles and codependency tend to seek out narcissists and avoidants. A free tool to take a quiz on Lion and Carista’s site to see what attachment style you may be, along with resources from Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency and gaining confidence.  Some red flags to look for when dating, and what to do at the first sign of them popping up. Also, how to know when to call it quits and walk away. The narcissist and codependent agree on one thing — who is most important! A narcissist can possibly heal if they are willing to care about the feelings of their partner, own their emotions, and work to repair the situation. Yes, codependent behavior can be self absorbed as well! Is it possible for a partner with secure attachment and another with insecure attachment to work? Advice for a situation where one partner goes to therapy and tries to work on things, and the other partner doesn’t.   Tweetables:   “Our judgements are just reflections of things we need to work on.” — Carla “The reason narcissists and codependents get together is they most agree on who is most important!” — Lion “If you want time with your partner, then ask for it. If you want space from your partner, then ask for it. Just do it in a loving way.” — Carista   Connect with Us!      The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership    The Love Fix Relationship Quiz      Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.  Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents    Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Carista Luminare and Lion Goodman Website | Cleaf Beliefs   Find Out More:  Co-Dependents Anonymous  Al-Anon

In this episode, we also delve into why vegans specifically don’t eat prawns, (spoiler alert, research suggests they do feel pain), and Maryanne from the Vegan Recipe Club reminisces about a time we could travel (sigh), as we round-up some top vegan travel tips.     Plus, we bring you the latest vegan news and music to get your ears around!   FIND OUT MORE                                                                                                            The history of veganism – Get inspired by our conversation with author and vegan historian, , who secured ethical veganism as a protected philosophical belief in the UK.  Viva!’s new campaign raising awareness of  and our ground-breaking investigation into   Get inspired to travel and eat well, with our dreamy feature, including stop overs in Paris, Brazil, The Gambia and Ireland.  Gypsy folk band,  in conversation with Gavin Chappell-Bates and we feature their track Sing Ahimsa.      This podcast is sponsored by Oxford Clay handmade ceramics.

We kick off the episode with Sherry’s secret behind that Fountain of Youth looking glow. Then, we are joined by Lisa Ferentz, clinical social worker, author, and psychotherapist who has been in private practice for over 30 years. Lisa is an expert on helping people transcend trauma and toxic relationships to find their self-worth and inner sense of power. We talk with Lisa more about how to recognize a narcissist, why victims of abuse are not cowardly or weak, and why codependent people tend to rush into one destructive relationship after another. Lisa also provides some of her great resources for realizing the power you hold within yourself and letting go of self-destructive behaviors.   What You’ll Hear In This Episode:   A Love Fix Question about “dating yourself”! Why codependency and self-destructive relationships go together, and what keeps someone in the cycle of self-sabotage. Lisa’s workbooks and resources that help foster positive self talk, self compassion, and positive self care. The more independent we become, the more we focus inward and rely less on trying to focus outward and change others.  It takes a lot of courage for someone to leave an abusive or codependent relationship. Abusers tend to make their victims feel isolated and dependent, which further takes away their ability to find the resources needed to break away. Why codependent people have to really work at not getting into another relationship right away. How trauma can affect us differently based on the meaning and power we choose to give it. A glimpse into the brain of a true narcissist, and a surprising fact about just how many people in our society have narcissistic tendencies! How attachment, connection, and empathy for a narcissist just may not be possible, and if this is a result of nature, nurture, or both. Oftentimes, a codependent and narcissist will find each other and have a relationship that feels like a coexistence rather than a true intimacy. Men can be victims as well. It takes a tremendous amount of courage and support to be able to step away from a toxic or abusive relationship.   Tweetables:   “When you are in a codependent relationship, there is a real loss of a sense of self.” - Lisa “There is a reason why Bumble banned men taking mirror selfies on their app.” - Lisa “When you are in an abusive relationship, you are alone” - Lisa   Connect with Us!      The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership    The Love Fix Relationship Quiz      Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.  Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents    Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Lisa Ferentz Finding Your Ruby Slippers | The Ferentz Institute | Letting Go Of Self Destructive Behaviors     Find Out More:  Co-Dependents Anonymous  Al-Anon

Katrine Horn is a self-love activist and former professional people pleaser. Her online programs and coaching help others learn how to activate their own self-love and embrace their self worth and power within. In this week’s episode, Katrine joins us from France to talk about practical ways we can begin to call in self-love, how women in the United States may differ in approach to women in other countries, and how to navigate the balance between self-love and the need to succeed and achieve in a patriarchal society. Katrine also describes the difference between pleasing and seducing, and the yummy effects that come when you really dive in and do the self-love work!   What You’ll Hear In This Episode Our own definition of self-love.  Sometimes the first step in the journey is just finding out what is blocking you from self-love. A Love Fix question from someone feeling insecure about their partner texting, even though they may not have a reason to. How Katrine herself went from a total people pleaser to a self-love activist and successful coach. How Katrine saw the toxicity of a relationship she was in when she saw how he treated her parents. We activate the Law of Attraction when we really learn how to accept and take in compliments without batting them away. If we turn our own people-pleasing tendencies around, we can experience a ton of pleasure which in turn actually helps the people around us as well. The difference between pleasing and seducing. There can be a very real battle of control for both women working and also women out of the job market who may not feel entitled to the family money.   Tweetables: “We teach other people how we want them to treat us.” — Katrine “There’s always something you can compliment yourself on. It’s really just about us allowing us to let in what’s right.” — Katrine   Connect with Us!      The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership        Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.  Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents    Carla  Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Find Out More:  Katrine Horn  Femininity Formula Enhancement Session Self-Love E Book   Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.  Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode. 

We kick off this week with a Love Fix question regarding how to know if you are a love addict, codependent, or both. Then, we welcome Briana MacWilliam, a licensed and board-certified creative arts therapist, coach, and author. We talk with Briana about what anxious attachment and avoidant attachment looks like in relationships, and how we can learn to embrace our own attachment style best instead of trying to run away from it. Briana shares the interesting nature of her work, truly using tools such as cognitive reframing, body work, and creativity to strengthen the mind, body, and spirit. Briana also shares how to enroll in her online courses for the chance to dive into even deeper work.   What You’ll Hear In This Episode:   Love addicts can be both anxious and avoidant, but typically the anxious ones are the type to seek help first. Briana shares how she overcame her own struggle with different attachment styles to now feel self-confident and able to make a difference for others. Anxious attachment can come out in ways where people both reach out to and reject love. How intergenerational patterns and our epigenetics can play a role in our anxiety and trauma. Anxious attachment can be codependent, but so can avoidant. Healing is a process and it’s more like a steady climb rather than a one day walk up a mountain. Briana uses a holistic approach for mind, body, and spirit activation. She uses creativity to bridge the mind and the body and to release negative energy. If it’s possible to change your attachment style, or if you should try to just work through it. What self-sovereignty is, and why Briana feels it is of our utmost importance to have it. Briana shares a success story where a client learned how to reframe her own self-image into that of a beautiful goddess, and ultimately learned how to receive the true love she desired. Some misconceptions behind different ages and love/desire.   Tweetables:   “We have to do the work from the inside out. It’s not an outside job.” — Sherry “Be soft, compassionate and generous to yourself. Everything you need is already within you.” — Briana “It’s not about bettering yourself it’s about relaxing and unfolding into yourself.” — Briana   Connect with Us!      The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership        Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.  Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents    Carla  Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Find Out More:  Briana MacWilliam | @brianamacwilliam | YouTube | Codependent No More | Attachment Styles Quiz       

Welcome to the first episode of The Love Fix! We are your hosts, Sherry Gaba, LCSW and Carla Romo. We are here to show you that love doesn’t suck and share how our own dating and relationship horror stories led us both to be experts in healing from codependency. There may be a 30-year difference between us, but we have both overcome toxic relationships to be on the other side of healing and self-love, and want to show you the way. We kick off the show by sharing the kismet tale of how we met, and then welcome best-selling author and coach Nancy Levin.   Nancy talks about her Destination ME program and how she went from having almost no boundaries to healthy ones that have left her feeling vibrant and secure. We talk about what good boundaries look like, why they aren’t always verbal, and what to do when someone in your life isn’t respecting them. Let’s dive in.   What You’ll Hear In This Episode:   Yes, we may be 30 years apart, but we have many things in common — such as sharing the same birthday! The Love Fix is a no shame and no blame zone. Both of us are here to help you with the most important relationship you will ever have — the one with yourself.  A Love Fix question from someone with a raging partner. Is it a red flag she is trying to turn green? Nancy Levin is a master coach and best selling author. Her book Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free and Levin Life Coach Academy programs came from her mastering boundary setting in her own life. It is very common for women to push their own needs down to service others. It may not feel like it at the time, but rock bottoms and catastrophes can be amazing and a catalyst for change. Why setting boundaries is important and necessary. How to know if you are slipping back into perfectionism and what to do when you have a boundary relapse. How to communicate your boundaries to others without oversharing or overstating. Why it is a waste of time to try and uphold your own boundaries while in a deep relationship with a narcissist. Some examples of boundary scripting. If your boundaries are leaking in one area, chances are they are spilling over to other areas of your life!   Tweetables:   “It’s so easy to get into the fantasy and the story we tell ourselves, but what are facts?” — Carla “It’s not anyone else's job to uphold, honor or respect our boundaries. It’s up to us.” — Nancy “Someone else’s response to my truth is not my responsibility to manage.” — Nancy “We can activate our power of choice. Every choice is either going to serve us or sabotage us.” — Nancy   Connect with Us!      The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership        Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.  Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents    Carla  Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Find Out More:  Nancy Levin | Permission To Put Yourself First | Destination ME   Get professional online counseling with BetterHelp by clicking here.  Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode. 

On today's podcast we are extremely delighted to welcome back Bibi Lorenzeti. Bibi came to us with an interesting topic that we were intrigued to explore: What happens to your self of self when you, as a new mother, become two people instead of one? Becoming a mother is often a difficult transition. Especially for women who are dedicated Ashtanga yoga practitioners before becoming pregnant. We gain a beautiful baby, but our bodies go through a very intense process, not only from the nine months of pregnancy, but also through delivery, and also with a sometimes longer than expected period of recovery. Our physical self changes dramatically, and our spiritual, emotional and psychological selves are all undergoing a significant transformation also. If your identity was wrapped up in being an Olympic level athlete and your entire day was absorbed with getting enough rest to combat excess inflammation so that you could improve your practice and perform your asanas again the next day, then it can feel like a bit of a struggle when you are suddenly consumed by the daily activities of feeding, nurturing, observing, and holding a child. Your main focus suddenly shifts and you're left with the question: Who Am I Now? Bibi and Harmony describe this process of letting go. Letting go of your idea of who you are, how you feel or look in your body, releasing your imaginary ideal birthing plan, along with any anticipation of how your body might feel after giving birth. They speak to how the practice changed for them and the importance of finding time for yourself. Ashtanga Yoga gives us a set structure; yet, once we become mothers, we have to let go of the structure so the practice becomes then a fluid moving thing. Which any serious practitioner knows is counter-constructive to that growth that comes with an organized and consistent lifestyle. Before pregnancy we tend to use the practice to transcend our current state, to reach some ideal goal, whether it's enlightenment or fitness or purification. After giving birth, the focus shifts to a more internal space. We practice to find peace, contentment within the present moment, and to hold space for ourselves where we can learn to accept that things can never the same. We must create a place where we, ourselves, can feel nourished internally and cultivate the strength to build ourselves up again. Harmony and Bibi discuss the inner turmoil of wanting things to be like they used to be, and recognizing that they will never be that way, coming up against obstacles of time, obligations, responsibilities, and fatigue. Yet, here they are, mothers, yogis, businesswomen, and beautiful beings. Bibi Lorenzetti is a Level 2 Authorized Ashtanga Yoga Teacher & Holistic Health Coach, and now a Doula. Harmony Slater is a Certified Ashtanga Yoga Teacher, Life & Wellness Coach, and host of the Finding Harmony Podcast.

This Week On Straight Talk with Doc Morris, The Doc Discusses the Taboo that is Medical Marijuana. You probably already know the basics about marijuana: It’s a green, brown, or gray mix of dried leaves, flowers, seeds, and stems from the hemp plant, also known as Cannabis stavis. It’s typically rolled up and smoked like a cigarette, but it can also be put in a pipe. People may also consume it in food, inhale it through a vaporizer, or spray it under the tongue. Although doctors believe that cannabinoids, the active ingredients in medical marijuana, are responsible for its benefits, researchers still don’t know exactly how medical marijuana works. There’s no question that it does work, however, for the patients who rely on it. Medical marijuana is commonly used for:Pain reliefAnxietyAppetite stimulationNausea and vomitingShinglesWhat are the most important cannabinoids?Researchers have found that there are 5 major cannabinoids that help medical marijuana patients find symptom relief. Each has different effects, and those effects help reinforce the effects of the others. The 5 most important cannabinoids are:THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)CBD (cannabidiol)CBN (cannabinol)CBC (cannabichromene)CBG (cannabigerol)Knowing the effects of each can help you understand which medical marijuana strains are best for treating your symptoms. If you’re most interested in physical pain relief, for example, you may be best off using medical marijuana that’s high in CBD and low in THC, because CBD reduces the psychological effects of THC. Dr. Morris and his team can help you discover exactly what’s right for you.Is medical marijuana approved by the Food and Drug Administration?While the FDA has not approved the marijuana plant as a medicine, it has approved 3 medications that contain cannabinoid chemicals in pill or liquid form. As scientists continue to study ways that patients can safely use THC and other marijuana ingredients as medicine, it’s likely that more medicines will be approved for use.What are the rules for medical marijuana in Florida?In the United States, cannabis is considered a controlled substance that requires special licensing for use. In Florida, medical cannabis licensing is issued through the Office of Compassionate Use following diagnosis by a qualified physician. After an initial consultation, physical exam, and full patient history, Dr. Morris can diagnose qualified patients and prescribe medical marijuana if he believes it’s an appropriate treatment. Without a proper diagnosis, it isn’t possible to secure a medical marijuana card in the state of Florida.For Medical Marijuana inquiries & appointments, please schedule online or call 239-360-2709.Morris Medical CenterWeight Loss Physician & Family Practitioner located in Fort Myers, FL & LaBelle, FLMorris Medical Center is a physician-owned and operated medical facility in Fort Myers, Florida.

This Week Doc Morris Dives Deep into a Pain that Effects Many of His Patients, Sciatica. He will discuss the signs and symptoms of the condition, what caused it and what aggravates it further. He will discuss treatments and therapies that he has had great success with. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body.Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.Morris Medical CenterWeight Loss Physician & Family Practitioner located in Fort Myers, FL & LaBelle, FLMorris Medical Center is a physician-owned and operated medical facility in Fort Myers, Florida.

This Week Doc Morris takes a Deep Dive into Obesity. He will discuss the Different Causes of Obesity and many Possible Treatments that may Work For You! Obesity occurs when people regularly eat and drink more calories than they use. Besides a person's eating behavior, a number of factors can contribute to obesity, including a lack of physical activity, a lack of sleep, genetics and the use of certain medications that can cause weight gain or water retention, such as corticosteroids, antidepressants or some seizure medications.Modern culture and conveniences also, in part, contribute to obesity.
