Podcasts about lasting love

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “Why do I keep attracting the wrong people?” Or maybe you're out there dating, putting yourself out there, but it just never seems to click or you think there are no good men or women out there left?  In Episode 397 of The Charisma Quotient, “Why you keep attracting the wrong people:  Uncovering your love blocks with Orna and Matthew Walters” Kimmy welcomes Orna and Matthew Walters, internationally acclaimed dating coaches, co-founders of Creating Love on Purpose, and co-authors of the powerful new book “Getting It Right This Time: Break Free from Your Hidden Blocks to Lasting Love.” With over two decades of experience helping thousands find real and lasting love, Orna and Matthew bring a unique blend of expertise, personal vulnerability, and actionable advice to the table.  In this episode, Kimmy, Orna, and Matthew unravel why our brains cling to the familiar—even if it hurts—and how family-of-origin experiences lay down a “love imprint” that shapes our future relationships. You'll learn why even smart, successful singles fall into “job interview” dating or keep a long checklist to protect themselves, and why vulnerability feels so unsafe until you finally break the cycle. Orna and Matthew walk listeners through their three-step system found in their new book.  They offer powerful personal stories: Orna's courageous journey as a survivor of domestic abuse and how she learned to trust herself and love again, plus Matthew's honest admission of once being a “toxic bachelor” and his transformation through deep self-work. Together, they share concrete, real-life examples (like the “fig fight” that helped them build healthier conflict resolution), proving lasting love is possible—no matter your past.  You'll hear: Why lasting relationships require both chemistry and compatibility. An explanation of ‘love imprints,' the deeply ingrained beliefs about love that shape your emotional patterns and behaviors in relationships Why so many high-achieving, analytical daters struggle to “let go,” flirt, and reveal their true selves. Step-by-step exercises you can use today to start re-wiring your love patterns and building a relationship from a place of wholeness and confidence If you keep attracting the same patterns and want to know about your personal love blocks, book a FREE private call with Kimmy to discuss ways of overcoming your love challenges:  https://meetme.so/kimbreakthrough⁣ Charisma Quotient Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and many of your other favorite podcast channels. ************************************************⁣ Kimmy Seltzer is a Confidence Therapist and Authentic Dating Strategist implementing targeted style, emotional and social intelligence to your life. ⁣ ************************************************⁣ Would you like to connect with Kimmy?⁣ Website:  https://kimmyseltzer.com/⁣ Chat:  https://meetme.so/kimbreakthrough⁣ Instagram: @kimmyseltzer Twitter: @kimmyseltzer Join her FREE Facebook Group Love Makeover Insiders:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/lovemakeovers Take her Flirt Quiz to see what kind of flirt you are www.flirtover40.com

Send us a textWelcome to Episode 203, host Andrea Atherton and guest Janessa Filey-Ford, lean into a truth that often gets lost in the highlight reel of modern love: conscious relationships aren't always rainbows and unicorns. In fact, some of the most profound moments of growth, intimacy, and connection happen in the hard times—in the middle of conflict, discomfort, and uncertainty. This episode is an invitation to explore how we show up for ourselves and our partner when love gets real.We'll explore the importance of emotional regulation, not as a way to suppress your feelings, but as a commitment to owning your emotional experience, so you don't project, rescue, or rush someone else's process. It's easy to fall into the habit of giving advice when our partner is hurting, but real intimacy begins when we pause and ask, “What do you need from me right now?” That question alone can transform your relationship from reactive to deeply responsive. It's the difference between helping from love versus acting from anxiety.We'll also talk about the sacred act of allowing your partner to just be—to feel, to process, and to move through their own emotional landscape at their own pace. It's an act of trust and surrender to hold space without fixing, to witness without rushing, and to remember that your presence often speaks louder than words. Conscious love is built in these quiet, challenging moments—the ones where you choose to stay, soften, and grow… together.

Part 1 Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers Summary"Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers is a self-help book that explores the concept of dealing with fear and building confidence to take action in various aspects of life. Here are the key points and themes presented in the book:Understanding Fear: Jeffers describes fear as a natural and universal emotion that everyone experiences. She emphasizes that feeling fear is not the problem; rather, it is how we respond to that fear that matters. Fear and Self-Doubt: The author links fear to self-doubt, explaining that many fears stem from a lack of confidence in our abilities. This fear can paralyze us and prevent us from pursuing opportunities.The Importance of Acknowledging Fear: Jeffers encourages readers to acknowledge their fears instead of ignoring them. By facing fear head-on, individuals can begin to understand it and lessen its hold over their lives.Taking Action: The central tenet of the book is to take action despite the fear. Jeffers argues that the best way to overcome fear is to participate in activities that challenge it, thus gaining confidence and experience.Decision-Making: One of the strategies presented is to develop a more positive decision-making approach. Jeffers suggests using affirmations and positive self-talk to shift our mindset about fear and decision-making.Accepting Uncertainty: The book discusses the inevitability of uncertainty in life. Jeffers teaches that it's important to embrace the unknown rather than shying away from it, as uncertainty often leads to new opportunities for growth.Empowerment Through Responsibility: Jeffers emphasizes personal responsibility in overcoming fear. She believes that taking ownership of our choices empowers us to change our lives.Building a Fear-Defeating Toolbox: Throughout the book, Jeffers provides practical exercises and tools to help manage and overcome fear, such as visualization, journaling, and seeking support from others.Reframing Fear: Instead of viewing fear as a hindrance, Jeffers suggests reframing it as a signal for personal growth. Where there is fear, there is often an opportunity for advancement and self-improvement.Overall, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" serves as a motivational guide for those looking to confront their fears and live a more fulfilled life. Jeffers' insights encourage readers to accept their fears, confront them, and take the necessary steps to pursue their goals.Part 2 Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway AuthorSusan Jeffers was an American author, motivational speaker, and psychologist, best known for her self-help book "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway," which was first published in 1987. This book quickly became a classic in the self-help genre, focusing on overcoming fear and developing self-confidence. It emphasizes that fear is a natural feeling, and it provides practical tools to manage it while encouraging readers to take action despite their fears.

Many women long to be in a happy relationship, in which they feel safe, heard and understood, but have given up after years of disappointment and heartbreak. This week dating coach EVAN MARC KATZ joins Andrew to discuss why it's so hard for women to find a man who wants to commit and to build a genuine relationship. They cover: How to get psychologically prepared to date successfully.  Knowing which compromises to make in the service of love.  The difference between compromise and “settling”.  The importance of accepting men as they are, rather than viewing them as fixable works in progress.  Balancing chemistry and compatibility in your relationship decisions.  Evan's personal experiences of dating frustration, and how they led him to write one of the first and most popular books about online dating.  Evan Marc Katz is an author, CEO, podcaster, dating coach and former screenwriter who works to support strong, successful women to find lasting relationships. He has been featured by Today, the New York Times, and CNN. A total of 13,000 women from 40 countries have graduated from Love U, his coaching course and community that helps women understand men and find love. If You're Looking for More….

Send us a textEp. 197 - This is a replay. Let's be honest. Valentine's Day isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Regardless of what we see on the Hallmark Channel, rarely do things turn out that perfectly. In singleness, we often feel bummed because we don't have that special someone. Then in marriage, we often feel bummed because our special day isn't turning out to be as romantic as we'd imagined! We can attest to feeling both of these ways. In today's episode, we're going to spill the beans and tell you about our worst and best Valentine's Days ever. Then, we're going to get honest about how we can all benefit from pursuing a more Christ-centered "Agape love" this Valentin'e Day and ditching the shallow version of "Hallmark Love."To take a deeper dive into all things love, romance, dating and marriage, check out our book, Love Defined: Discovering God's Vision for Lasting Love and Satisfying Relationships Support the showJOIN US ON PATREON FOLLOW US:GirlDefined.comInstagram YouTube

Her insights illuminate how personal growth, emotional regulation, and intentional communication can transform relationships into a thriving partnership.     Main Takeaways: Embrace Self-Awareness to Navigate Emotional Triggers Leave Space for Individual Growth Within Relationships Operate on Multiple Levels: Logic, Emotion, and Sensation     Main Topics: 1. Understanding Emotional Triggers (Timestamp: 12:45) Explanation: Emotional triggers are often rooted in past experiences, not present relationships. Recognizing when reactions stem from unresolved feelings enables individuals to respond with intention rather than emotion. This practice fosters healthier interactions and reduces repetitive conflicts. Notable Quote: "Someone does something, and it triggers something in me that predates them—maybe my mother, my last partner, or an earlier experience." Impact: By addressing the root cause of emotional triggers, individuals can take responsibility for their reactions and avoid misplacing blame, paving the way for deeper connection.     2. Leave Space for Love and Growth (Timestamp: 24:10) Explanation: Successful relationships depend on creating space for individuality. A healthy dynamic allows each partner to grow independently while maintaining a shared bond. Over-fusion—when one partner subsumes the other's emotions or thoughts—stifles this balance. Notable Quote: "Space for you to be you, space for me to be me, and space for us to be us." Impact: This approach respects autonomy and mutual growth, fostering an environment where both partners can thrive emotionally and intellectually.     3. Engage All Three Levels of Communication (Timestamp: 36:20) Explanation: Dr. Giffara emphasizes the importance of operating on all three levels of communication: logical reasoning, emotional expression, and physical sensations. Neglecting any of these dimensions creates imbalances in how partners relate and respond to one another. Notable Quote: "Leave space to meet reason, emotion, and sensation. Don't mix them up." Impact: Integrating these elements of communication ensures holistic connection and prevents misunderstandings rooted in incomplete interactions.     Closing Thoughts: Dr. Giffara's strategies challenge the notion that love alone is enough to sustain a relationship. By focusing on self-awareness, mutual growth, and comprehensive communication, individuals can transform how they engage with their partners and themselves.   Visit us: MarniBattista.Com Ready To Create Your Corporate Escape Plan?
