Today's episode is a loving conversation on co-parenting and how couple's can enter this new space with love, and understanding of each other and the process. I'm joined by the impeccable Dr. Alexandra Solomon, who is a clinical psychologist that specialises in relationships. We start our conversation with a peek into relationships in general, and how our childhood and upbringing affects the way we love, and then we enter into such a powerful conversation on co-parenting, how we can still create unity as a family living in two different homes, how we can shift this awful narrative that ending relationships is a failure, and how to prepare the new family for external love to come in. This was a particularly special conversation for me, because I've recently entered a loving co-parenting relationship and to help myself and my ex navigate through it in the best way we can, I was outsourcing for any insight possible and the field was slim. I saw it as a beautiful opportunity to not only share with you all, something going on in my life, but also create a resource for anyone going through co-parenting, divorce, or perhaps approaching it in in some way. More about Dr. Solomon? She is a clinical assistant professor at Northwestern University where she teaches the internationally renowned course, Building Loving and Lasting Relationships: Marriage 101, and she's a licensed clinical psychologist at The Family Institute at Northwestern University.

What is wrong with the way we as women are taught about sexuality? What are some common myths about female sexuality? What is the biggest mistake people make in relationships in terms of sex? How does social media impact sex and love today? How does pornography affect sexual relationships? What are first steps people can take to start owning their sexuality? Sexuality is something we tend to shy away from talking about as a culture. And so many women have essentially grown up thinking we are not allowed to be sexual beings. But this is so far from the truth and that's why I'm so excited about today's episode! IN THIS EPISODE: I interview an esteemed clinical psychologist, Dr. Alexandra Solomon.

Women are expected to be sexy, but not sexual. We’re bombarded with conflicting, shame-inducing, and disempowering messages about sex, instead of being encouraged to connect with our true sexual selves. Sexy gets reduced to a performance, leaving us with little to no space to reckon with the complexities of sexuality. In a culture intent on telling you who and how to be, standing in your truth is revolutionary. (from the Amazon book description for Taking Sexy Back) Dr. Alexandra H. Solomon is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University and a licensed clinical psychologist. She is the author of the book Loving Bravely: Twenty Lessons of Self-Discovery to Help You Get the Love You Want (New Harbinger, 2017).

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Alexandra Solomon, PhD author of Loving Bravely: 20 Lessons of Self-Discovery to Help You Get the Love You Want About the book: Real love starts with you. In order to attract a life partner and build a healthy intimate relationship, you must first become a good partner to yourself. This book offers twenty invaluable lessons that will help you explore and commit to your own emotional and psychological well-being so you can be ready, resilient, and confident in love. Many of us enter into romantic relationships full of expectation and hope, only to be sorely disappointed by the realization that the partner we’ve selected is a flawed human being with their own neuroses, history, and desires. Most relationships end because one or both people haven’t done the internal work necessary to develop self-awareness and take responsibility for their own experiences. We’ve all heard “You can’t love anyone unless you love yourself,” but amid life’s distractions and the myth of perfect, romantic love, how exactly do you do that? In Loving Bravely, psychologist, professor and relationship expert Alexandra H. Solomon introduces the idea of relational self-awareness, encouraging you to explore your personal history to gain an understanding of your own relational patterns, as well as your strengths and weaknesses in relationships. By doing so, you’ll learn what relationships actually require, beyond the fairytale notions of romance. And by maintaining a steady but gentle focus on yourself, you’ll build the best possible foundation for making a loving connection. By understanding your past relationship experiences, cultivating a strong sense of self-awareness, and determining what it is you really want in a romantic partner—you’ll be ready to find the healthy, lasting love your heart desires. About the author: Alexandra H. Solomon, PhD, is staff clinical psychologist, member of the teaching faculty in the marriage and family therapy graduate program, and clinical assistant professor of psychology at The Family Institute at Northwestern University. In addition to her clinical work with couples and individuals, Solomon teaches graduate and undergraduate students.

Host, Mike Domitrz, welcomes CAST members Bridgette Cook-Burch and Dr. Alexandra Solomon to discuss discovering and living the soul’s longing, or dharma. Dharma is the day-to-day journey of uncovering your calling. The group explores what dharma needs to develop amid relentless distractions, how play, quiet introspection and trusted conversations nourish our soul, and how attaining freedom may be a better measurement than declaring success. Today’s topic was inspired by the book, The Great Work of Your Life, by Steven Cope. The theme of the book rests in three concepts.   1. Find your dharma. 2. Do it full out. 3. Let go of the outcome.   Subscribe to the Everyday Mindfulness Show.   Key Takeaways: [1:24] Bridget defines the exciting concept of dharma. [3:42] Finding your dharma through play and quieting down. [11:59] How to avoid focusing on the outcome. [18:43] Making the discovery process introspective and relational. [20:51] It's better to fail at your own dharma instead of somebody else's. [23:56] Should we substitute the word freedom for success?   Mentioned in This Episode: The Great Work of Your Life: A Guide for the Journey to Your True Calling, by Stephen Cope Loving Bravely, by Dr. Alexandra Solomon This Is Us on NBC Soulmates: Honoring the Mysteries of Love and Relationship, by Thomas Moore The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level, by Gay Hendricks   Bridget is a New York Times bestselling author, and an entrepreneur with a history of creating successful business.
