Welcome to episode 235 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How to Know What a Healthy Relationship Looks Like If you’ve never been in a healthy relationship, it can be really easy to buy into the story that you don’t know what a healthy relationship looks like. You don’t know what to do, how to be, or what to say. For instance, for my caller, this created so much fear that a part of her just wanted to stay single. As a result, she didn’t have to deal with the constant fear and self-doubt that she’s screwing everything up. As I coach Joanne, you’ll see that her question isn’t just about how to be in a healthy relationship.  More importantly, the question goes much deeper than that. I hope you enjoyed this episode!

Welcome to episode 234 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How to do Inner Child Work When You Don't Remember Much of Your Childhood. Today my caller, Lori, knows she wants to change her love life pattern, but is uncertain about how to do that because childhood was a long time ago, and she doesn’t remember much of it. The nice thing about inner child work is that you don’t have to remember much, and  what you do remember doesn’t have to be what actually happened. What matters is how you FEEL about what happened, because that ultimately creates your view point, and that’s where your patterns come from. I hope you enjoyed this episode!

I look forward to hearing from you! 4:24 - Lori asks how she can heal something that she can’t remember 5:55 - Lori talks about patterns of alcoholism and narcissism in her relationships and  a deep longing to feel loved by a man 10:03 - I walk Lori through a visualization to dig in to why she doesn’t feel loved 14:00 - Lori talks about the connections she started to see as a result of her core wounds 22:49 - My advice to Lori on how to continue to do her inner child work to heal her core wounds 28:22 - A recap of my coaching session with Lori   After you listen to this episode, here are your next steps: Episode mentioned in this show: Episode 111 - Three Kinds of Relationships You’re Confusing With Love  Join me for the new on demand workshop, Attract Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul.

So, she decided not to wait on a man to have children and went the donor route. We talk about the logistics of going the donor baby route, plus the emotions that come with it.

By day, she keeps busy as a choice-mama to a 5-year-old boy, an infant girl, and a back talking Siberian Husky. In 2017, in the aftermath of the presidential election, multiple pregnancy losses and a generalized feeling of despair, she discovered the work of Dr. Peter and Briana Borten, and their Dragontree Illuminator Program. There she embarked on training as a holistic guide and life coach with a foundation in ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic practices. She now caters her own coaching practice toward empowering women, mothers, and women interested in pursuing choice motherhood. In all of her spare time she is writing a memoir. The Kind of Woman who Would is a story of love and relationship, death and dying, and what to do if you should find yourself single at 39 with a desperate longing for motherhood.

Welcome to episode 231 of the Love Live Connection podcast, The Relationships You’re Confusing with Love I’ve worked with enough women to know that sometimes when someone is describing a current or past relationship, I know when they are describing it through rose colored glasses. Obviously things happen, but I’m very skeptical when I hear stories around being blindsided. Yes, that might have been your experience, but to the outside eye, there were probably a lot more signs. Knowing what love is and what it isn’t will help you to protect yourself from being in a relationship you're confusing with love and from being blindsided in the future. I hope you enjoyed this episode! Find me on Instagram or send me an email with your feedback. I look forward to hearing from you! 3:12 - Why I describe love and happiness as  states of being 4:52 - Why I’m skeptical about hearing stories about being blindsided by a breakup 6:38 - Why the scenario of filling a void can be confused with love 12:08 - The second type of relationship that can be confused with love is when two people’s issues dovetail each other. 19:39 - The third way you can get confused with love, idealizing your partner or the relationship After you listen to this episode, here are your next steps: Episodes mentioned in this show: Episode 94 - Get Out of the People Pleaser/Narcissistic Relationship Trap  Episode 104 - The Four Dating Energies Keeping you Out of Love - The Pleaser!

Welcome to episode 230 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How to Get Past a Big Breakup With Amber. Amber joins me today with a question about why dating was so hard after her 13-year marriage came to an end.  Getting over a big breakup is not as straight forward as you may think.  As is common in my coaching sessions, I help Amber to see that moving on from the relationship isn’t just about getting over the person.  It’s also about looking at the reasons the relationship came into your life, understanding the dynamics of it, the break-up, and what that relationship gave her that she wasn’t able to give herself.

Welcome to episode 228 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How to Set Boundaries, manage anxiety, and not sabotage a finally healthy relationship This episode starts off with a common fear I hear from many women in the community: I finally met someone great, how do I not mess it up?  I discuss this very issue today with my caller, Abby. But like usual on the show, there’s a hindrance to her feeling more secure in the relationship. In this case with Abby, it’s rooted in her relationship with her mom.  It’s not that she needs to heal her relationship with her mom, but she needs to set boundaries because it’s bringing out her core wounds.  This is the equivalent of picking off scabs when you’re trying to heal a physical wound. Setting boundaries will give Abby the space she needs to have an even better relationship with her mom.  It will also help Abby do the inner child work she needs to do to feel less anxious in her romantic relationship. I hope you enjoyed this episode! Find me on Instagram or send me an email with your feedback. I look forward to hearing from you! 1:19 - An example of something I have been experiencing lately where I need to set a boundary 5:09 - An introduction to my caller today who’s in a healthy relationship, and is scared she’s sabotaging it 6:16 - Abby presents her fear 9:35 - Abby describes her childhood with her mother 16:30 - My advice to Abby on how to heal her core wound by setting some boundaries 21:05 - The one place Abby wants to set a boundary with her mother 26:18 - A tool Abby uses to help ease her anxiety  27:23 - My suggestion to help Abby curb her anxiety 33:10 - A recap of my call with Abby   After you listen to this episode, here are your next steps: Check out my free workshop The 5-Step Strategy To Banish Anxiety and Overwhelm in Your Love Life Ready to explore what working with me is like?  Learn more here.

Welcome to episode 227 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How to Know If Your Expectations Are Too High I’m really excited about today’s topic.  This question comes up a lot with my new clients who ask me, “Veronica, are my expectations too high?  If they are, just tell me.”  They think by lowering their expectations, that will get them into a relationship.  I think a lot of this comes from the patriarchy in place in our society. It’s a really good example of how the political landscape is personal and shows up in our relationships and in the bedroom. So, I’m going to go through five ways that your expectations may be too high and five ways your expectations are definitely NOT too high. I hope you enjoyed this episode! Find me on Instagram or send me an email with your feedback. I look forward to hearing from you! 6:56 - The first way your expectations might be too high - You believe they should know what you want 9:30 - Reason #2 your expectations may be too high - You aren’t okay with any degree of arguments or fights 12:07 - The third reason your expectations may be too high - Your partner feels like nothing they do can make you happy or they feel they’re on eggshells 14:30 - The fourth reason your expectations might be too high - You possibly have too many dealbreakers 19:42 - The fifth way your expectations may be too high - You believe in fairytale love/unconditional love 24:12 - The first example of when your expectations are not too high - Consistent communication/spending time together 26:13 - The next way your expectations are not too high - Your partner doesn’t take any responsibility for growing the relationship or working through issues, gaslights you and puts it all on you 28:29 - The third way your expectations are not too high - The idea that “Love is supposed to be hard”  31:04 - The fourth example of when your expectations are not too high - You don’t feel excited by the relationship 34:04 - The last way your expectations are not too high - It’s wrong or mean or not nice to have boundaries or say no   After you listen to this episode, here are your next steps: Previous Episodes mentioned in this podcast: Dating as a Feminist and Healing From Sexual Trauma Understand the Difference Between Being Triggered and Treated Poorly with Aila Standing Up for Yourself Without Being a D*** with Amy Smith Check out my free workshop The 5-Step Strategy To Banish Anxiety and Overwhelm in Your Love Life Ready to explore what working with me is like?  Learn more here.

Welcome to episode 224 of the Love Live Connection podcast, How to Rediscover Who You Really Are With Rachel You know when you’re on a date, and you really want the other person to like you, but you can’t help but feel like that awkward teenage girl whose boobs were growing faster than the other girls and you just got a big zit on your nose?  On the Love Life Connection this week, my caller Rachel is wondering why on earth she’s pushing away potential partners, even the seemingly nice ones.  This actually is quite common among my clients and while there are quite a few reasons this can happen, in Rachel’s case, she still feels like that awkward teen with acne.  Over the years, Rachel has completely forgotten who she is, and has found herself pleasing, conforming, and going through the motions.  Per usual, I coach Rachel through some inner child work to heal this, but it’s with a bit of a twist.  You’ll see what I mean when you listen.  I hope you enjoyed this episode!
