Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're talking about conflict, differences, and do the little things matter! With our guest, psychotherapist and marriage coach Carrie Cohen, we get going right away with the question, why do opposites attract? How can we make our differences work for us in dating and relationships? Carrie has a great breakdown of the anxious/avoidant dynamic here I think you'll find really interesting! We'll also talk about how different approaches to conflict—like when one person wants to resolve things right away, and the other needs time to process—can create tension but also offer opportunities for growth. Communication is a big theme in this episode—whether it's figuring out how to ask for more when one person is ready to move forward and the other isn't, or learning how to navigate conflict without always needing to be right.  And of course, we'll discuss whether the little things in dating actually matter and how they play a role in creating a lasting connection. From navigating the honeymoon phase to building a strong foundation for the long term, we're exploring the differences that come up in dating and how they can ultimately strengthen or challenge a connection.

— Have you ever noticed your conversations with your brain? We call it thinking. Thinking is like a private conversation we all have with our brains about what is happening in the world, what we hope will happen, what the challenges may be, and how we will try to make our lives as amazing as we can. Sometimes thinking makes things better. Sometimes thinking makes things hard.  The more we know about the brain, the more we can work together with it to fill our lives with great adventures that are more interesting and fun—in school and life. Focusing on stories, how the brain makes up stories for us to live in, and how knowing this can help us build even better life stories for ourselves is important. What makes a great story? Are you ready to write  your own?   Valeria interviews Madelaine Claire Weiss  — She is the bestselling author of  “Getting to G.R.E.A.T.: A 5-Step Strategy For Work and Life; Based on Science and Stories and What's Your Story?: Building Your Best Adventures in School and Life.

Have you ever wondered why certain patterns seem to repeat in your relationships, leaving you feeling unfulfilled or misunderstood? Many of us carry the hidden scars of unmet childhood needs into our adult partnerships, often without realizing it. These unresolved emotional wounds can create barriers to giving and receiving love, often manifesting as conflicts and struggles in intimacy. Understanding and healing these deep-seated issues is crucial for building healthier, more fulfilling relationships. In this episode, we delve into the profound impact of childhood experiences on adult behavior and relationships. We'll explore how understanding and internalizing these early life influences can help recognize and address the missing emotional elements from one's upbringing. The discussion sheds light on the importance of processing past traumas, engaging in healing conversations, and employing therapeutic techniques like role-playing and letter-writing to reconcile unresolved feelings. By emphasizing the intertwined nature of individual and relational growth, this episode offers practical strategies to help listeners navigate the complexities of maintaining a strong sense of self while fostering fulfilling, intimate relationships.

Hello, paging women in their midlife…are you out there? This one's for you!If you're usually a listener to the audio podcast only, thanks…I love you for it. But if you can, this time tune in to our YouTube video podcast to see my guest, Star Monroe's, energy and charm in action.Star is a psychotherapist and master life coach who, in the simplest form, is here to give you the kick in the pants you desperately need.In her own words, she says it's time to stop fucking around in your midlife. And not only that, but it's beyond time to tap into that blend of genius that resides in your DNA.She helps women reclaim their *Main Character Energy*...because ladies, if you want to live the life you desire, it's time to become obsessed with yourself. Star shares her story of addiction and all the catalysts that told her it's time to make a change. Because, as she reminds us, you can blame the patriarchy, society, your boss, your mom, your dad, whoever... but who's at the center of all that? YOU! It's up to you to make the change you need. And that's that.We also talk about the midlife plague women face—menopause. Did you know that Japan doesn't even have a word for menopause—something women in North America are constantly moaning about?Listen, this isn't meant to invalidate your feelings or problems associated with menopause. Instead, it's meant to empower you to seek the help you need, change the things that need changing (and yes, this may be the way you move your body, the things you eat, & your sleep habits), and then MOVE ON.As women, we need to stand our ground and advocate for ourselves; no one else is going to do it.Star shares ways she helps herself navigate the noise in her own head and manage her self-doubt as well as many other energetic kicks in the ass in today's episode.What's Inside:What's your unique blend of genius?It's time to reclaim your Main Character Energy.Why you need to stop blaming the patriarchy.Does menopause exist, and what do you actually need to do about it?How to manage your mental noise and self-doubt.Are you ready to be the iconic main character you truly are?

One of the quickest ways to increase your net worth is by increasing your self-worth. This is becuase the way you feel about yourself and how much you actually like yourself impacts your finances in a massive way. Often low levels of self-worth and confidence will be reflected back in how you make, manage, and spend your money. Self hatred and self loathing are wildly expensive. Self worth, self confidence and self love will pay dividends over and over.  In this episode of the Money Love Podcast Paige is talking with Talia Bombola, The Confidence and Assertiveness Specialist. Talia is a Certified Psychodynamic, Licensed Psychotherapist, and Relationship Mentor for Women. She has won Newport Beach's Best Therapist 3 years in a row and her work centers around helping ambitious women feel secure by increasing self-worth, confidence, and assertiveness by rewiring beliefs about themselves. In this conversation her and Paige break down where our low levels of self-worth come from, why and how it impacts your finances, and practical steps and measures you can take to start to increase your self-worth.

Hello Brave Friends! This is a Summer Re-Run of one of our favorite Ask Us Anything episodes from Seasons 5 and 6. Call in to our SpeakPipe to ask YOUR questions and tune in next season, starting in September 2024, for many more. This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and, you guessed it, ASK US ANYTHING! In this episode, #165, we are discussing how to get the most out of connection circles and in general, support groups, without taking on other attendee's pain. In this community we are ALREADY dealing with our own tough feelings when we step into a group sharing environment and as Dr. Zoe Shaw says, in this episode, “we're wired for protection not connection” so dealing with other people's emotions on top of our own can feel daunting. BUT it doesn't have to feel that way and the community and sisterhood that comes with sharing and holding space for those emotions is so worth facing your own. There are so many wisdom gems, AHA moments and tools in this episode for helping us deconstruct the emotions we feel when in the presence of other people's pain. Please enjoy this important episode of Ask Us Anything. Whether you have questions as a parent to a child with complex medical or mental health needs or you're someone looking to support a care-giving parent, we would LOVE to hear from you. If you have any topic requests or if you would like to ask a question, leave us a message here.Find more information about Licensed Psychotherapist, Dr. Zoe Shaw here. Find more information about Life Coach, Susanna Peace Lovell here.Find Susanna's book, Your True Self is Enough here.Brave Together is the podcast for We are Brave Together, a not-for-profit organization based in the USA.

In this episode, Sensitive Empowerment Community members Carol Huckle and Carolina Mariposa co-host quarterly Intuitive Parenting events, in which members discuss the joys and challenges of parenting as HSP's, while supporting one another in our parenting and caregiving journeys. While these events are not normally recorded to maintain privacy of participants, Carol and Carolina hosted this public Q&A session in which SEC members submitted written questions ahead of time. The themes that arose included how to support our sensitive children with intense emotions, how to stay calm while we support our children, and how to help everyone in the family thrive through the stresses of major transitions and unexpected events. Co-host: Carol Huckle - co-author of the new children's book series, The Adventures of Niko, the Highly Sensitive Dog and co-hosts “Intuitive Parenting” events inside the Sensitive Empowerment Community to support caregivers of sensitive little ones. As a volunteer Children's Librarian leading pre-K through 5th-grade reading groups, she often wished for books with characters that reflected the unique traits of bright, sensitive children. An introverted child, Carol's favorite books were her best friends, inspiring the character Buttercup. Buttercup's passion for research was inspired by Carol's daughter, whose literary explorations discovered the unique, joyful dance of the blue-footed booby. This inspired the wonderfully extroverted character Blueberry. Carol is thrilled to collaborate with Julie in creating characters that celebrate being their authentic, unique selves! Get the book at https://www.juliebjelland.com/childre...

In this heartfelt interview, Rebecca introduces us to the practice of KonMari for sorting through belongings at such a difficult time in our lives. The method is particularly beneficial for highly sensitive people as it gently encourages mindfully letting go while regulating our nervous system with what is manageable and with what resonates with our emotional readiness. The method has a focus on the positive psychology of surrounding ourselves with what brings us joy and inspires gratitude. In this video, Rebecca will walk us through the main teachings of the practice so that we can start sorting belongings with kindness and compassion, rewiring our negativity bias and the need to live by external conditioning. Working with KonMarie principles has also assisted Rebecca and her family in their own consumption habits which is another added bonus to managing things in this way. Guest - Rebecca Jo Rushdy, Founder of Spark Joy & Flow Rebecca Jo Rushdy guides fellow HSPs & Empaths to declutter their hearts, minds and homes into sanctuaries that spark joy and flow.

My guest Julie and I talk openly about many common midlife experiences including:We speak about menopause, suicidal thoughts, and also how it can be hard in times of darkness to reach out for support.Empty nest can feel really hard and can include a lot of sadness or grief.Shifting from the story “I am flawed” to self-compassion and greater self-love.Many of us seek deeper connection but have a rejection wound. Yet deep connection requires being ourselves rather than masking.Walk toward what lights you up. Having a life vision can help us move toward what brings us joy.We need to learn to hear our inner voice and develop self-trust. Many of us get earnest about this in our 40s or autumn season of life.We talk about a guide (coming soon) “understanding autism in sensitive women.” For now, check out these resources for autistic HSPs.Julie Bjelland is an LMFT, a Licensed Psychotherapist, author, and founder of Sensitive Empowerment, specializing in high sensitivity and adult-diagnosed autism in women.

Hello Brave Friends! This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and, you guessed it, ASK US ANYTHING! In this episode, #185, we are responding to the question, Can Caregiving Dads be Accepted into Mom Groups?Another amazing question to close out Season 6! First off, thank you to this Dad for calling in and posing this vulnerable question. I know a lot of parents are going to benefit from this conversation. It seems that because mom's historically outnumber dad's in the role of primary caregiver and are socialized to be more open to support, among a host of other reasons, most of the parenting groups are geared towards moms. And when dads try to join them, they may not always feel welcomed. For example, this caller expressed being turned away from some groups because they were “only for moms”.In this episode we discuss: the reasons men may not be welcomed into these groups, ways men can approach these groups to more readily be accepted and we offer links to fathering groups and resources below.Thank you so much for listening and calling in with your questions this season. We are taking a Summer Break but will be releasing Ask Us Anything “ReRuns” to keep you supported. We will be back, BETTER THAN EVER, in September for Season 7, so keep those questions coming!

In today's episode you'll hear from confidence and assertiveness expert Talia Bombola, who's also a professor and LMFT. We get deep into where confidence truly comes from, why we look for it in a partner and an unexpected way to start building it up on your own. We also talk about the importance of assertiveness and why it's tough for women specifically to practice, as well as ways to use assertiveness on dates (you know, when your date just won't stop talking about themselves). Finally, we discuss what it means to have an abundance mentality in all areas of life, not just dating.

Krista emphasizes the importance of healthy boundaries and self-care during the grieving process. In this conversation, Krista discusses the different stages of grief and provides guidance on navigating the grieving process after the death of a parent. She emphasizes the importance of self-care, asking for help, and simplifying one's life during this time.

She addresses the concept of secondary losses and the emotional intensity of grief. Additionally, she explores themes such as conflict, delayed grief, and the fluctuating nature of grief over time.

Hello Brave Friends! This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and, you guessed it, ASK US ANYTHING! In this episode, #181, we are responding to the question, How do I Access Playfulness When My Life is So Serious? This is such a great question, and as you will hear, all three of your hosts grapple, themselves, with how to find “the fun” in the midst of chronic hardship. It's not everyone's natural gift to make light of the dark stuff or to find humor in the struggle. Juggling all the roles we have to inhabit for our children with unique needs can leave us feeling exhausted and in no mood to “play”.In this episode, we explore lots of ways we can embrace the kind of fun that comes naturally to us. Igniting that spark of fun in ourselves, for ourselves, in our own way. We also acknowledge that for some people this may feel impossible. So, if that's you, we see you, hang in there, take it one day at a time and remember that nothing stays the same forever. Thank you so much for listening and calling in with your questions.

I've  got a question.  Have you ever paused in your personal life to consider your purpose? Have you developed identifying features that are transcendently tied to who you are as a person and how you want your character to be portrayed?  How committed are you to deleveloping a character of meaning and significant substance.  At the end of the day the adversity you face in life is your greatest competitive advantage.  Vin Infante, LMSW is a mental performance coach, speaker and Licensed Psychotherapist  whose on a primary mission to help others maximize their professional and personal potential. He says he's  learned several tangible and practical takeaways in the field of personal development which he wants to share to a universal audience. He is a full-time entrepreneur and angel investor. Also, Vin is a former FDNY firefighter who served during the C-19 pandemic. He has spent over 12 years learning techniques, skills and tools to help people create lasting change. Vin's professional journey has taken him through a diverse range of mental health settings. From hospitals and clinics to homeless shelters, in-patient units, and even the department of education, he has honed his skills and knowledge in every imaginable environment. In his decade-plus of experience, he has been trying to create a different and more innovative approach to working with clients by implementing his classically trained psychology knowledge of CBT/DBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy) with a more modern approach to coaching. This hybrid form of mental health has been helping Vin create lasting change in the thousands of people he has encountered in his profession. In the past three years, Vin has dived fully into Mindset & Executive coaching, working with multiple executives and highly motivated entrepreneurs in their own respective fields. Vin also works with companies/organizations to help with work culture and team building. Vin's expertise and contributions to the field have not gone unnoticed. In 2021, he was featured in the International Business Times as a top coach to follow in 2022. He has also been a guest on numerous podcasts and is increasingly sought after as a speaker. He joined me this week to tell me more.
