If women want to be equal, they should always pay their own share of the bill on dates with men -- or so my mother told me. This is the third video in my "Stop Playing Small" series. In it, I explain what happened during the years I was always quick to throw down money on dates -- what my real reasons were, how that turned out, and THEN what happened when I decided to let the man pay. Dating may be harder than ever these days, but old traditions (many of which were used to control or suppress people) can also function as much-needed structure, and as a filter, for detecting if the person a the table with you might be your future mate.

There are two competing ideas in our culture about how you should pursue happiness: One is that anything that happens to you, you have to MAKE it happen. And the opposing idea is that there's something "unspiritual" about that level of certainty, and that what you REALLY should do is “go with the flow.” I'm here to tell you that if you're doing either of those things, you just might be playing small, and I'll tell you why we do that – as well as a better way to expand your life to a bigger, happier, more delightful experience than either of these approaches can bring you.

In this episode, Gonzalez asks the questions — diving into my background, the lessons I've learned and the core of what drives me to help restaurant owners every single day. You'll get an inside look at the mindset and systems behind the Restaurant Prosperity Formula — and how Gonzalez used them to completely transform his business.

If you've been hurt by others SO many times that you can't face conflicts, disappointments and sad moments, – that's what I call playing small. And it stops you from being able to heal or change. Life involves friction. Facing it is how we grow. I played small for most of my life -- and maybe you have too. In this video -- part of a multi-part series -- I show you what I looked like when I played small (and what caused that), and what I look like now.

A classic sign that a person grew up traumatized is that their life is full of hostile, cruel, and punishing people. If you were abused or neglected, you may freeze up when people are unkind, or lapse into "fawning," trying desperately to make the hostile person happy, as if that were your responsibility (or even possible) In this 4-video compilation, I share some of my most popular videos about mean people -- why they get into your life and what you can do change the rules and free yourself from mistreatment.

The problem with romantic attachments, especially for those of us who were hurt and neglected as kids, is that our attachment wounds make us feel so.... attached! Ending a relationship can make it feel like you're dying, even when you don't like the person. Even when you don't want to be with the person. Even when the person has been abusive to you – You'll start having thoughts of going back to them. And many of us have gone back to these people, and wasted years of our lives, unhappy and stuck with someone we don't want to be with just because our attachment wounds can't bear the pain of leaving. In this video, I respond to a letter from a woman who can't bear the thought of leaving someone she doesn't want to be with. Is Past Trauma Affecting Your Dating Life?

When you get angry and people can hear it in your voice? They don't like it! And you know what? That's OK! Because in a healthy relationship, it's OK for you to express your anger. In fact it's necessary. But it's all about how you express it – not cruelly, not constantly – of course that can hurt a relationship, especially when there's kinda subterranean resentment and wounds underneath that maybe you can't even acknowledge in the moment. But this OTHER factor is no matter how nicely you express yourself – and you MUST express yourself somehow or it's not a relationship – are they emotionally mature enough to handle an argument and not have to rage at you or leave the relationship? In this video, I respond to a letter from a woman who is about to find out. Try the FREE Daily Practice Course: Free PDF Download: https://bit.ly/3Y4263I

With unhealed trauma wounds, it's easy to make terrible mistakes at critical moments. Times of stress (which is often when you have to make important decisions) can shut down critical thinking skills, and push you toward emotional thinking that can lead to bad outcomes. This is common for people with CPTSD. In this video, I talk about trauma-driven decisions, and how you can stop them before the damage is done! Do you have CPTSD?

Romantic obsession with someone you can't have is a sneaky, life-wrecking toxin – a "drug" that feels great at first. It seems like if you could just have that person, your life would go from empty... to amazing. It treats pain... until the drug wears off, and next thing you know the “solution” you've found has become the problem, wrecking everything good in your life. Can it ever be true that this one person you wanted but lost, is the missing element in your life that explains why you've been sad so long? In this 4-video compilation, I share four of my most popular videos featuring letters from people suffering from limerence. Hear my advice on how to recognize limerence has gone too far, and what you can do to stop it. How to Tell if Someone is Partner Material?: FREE PDF Download: https://bit.ly/3YBwKkj

Work is the worst place to fall in love with someone you can't have – or rather, someone with whom you're forbidden to pursue a relationship with. Workplace affairs have the potential to ruin your happiness and theirs and cause both of you to lose your jobs. One thing that can make this all much worse, is if you are prone to limerence, i.e., you tend to get romantically obsessed with people – at the level of a strong addiction – especially when they are off limits to you. This is common for people who grew up abused and neglected. In this video, I respond to a letter from a man who is on the very brink of running everything in his life. The Signs of Limerence: Free PDF Download: https://bit.ly/3PbqblT

The trouble with being abused is that it can wreck your thinking... You disconnect. You go numb. And when you feel awful inside, you can't always tell where the feeling is coming from. In a dysfunctional family, the hurt and blame can go flying in all directions, and become like glue – binding everyone to the toxic dynamic that hurt them in the first place. So how do you heal? In this video, I respond to a letter from a woman who is struggling to make her daughter stop blaming her. But she may be unable to see the underlying problem.

When your heart's desire is to find a love that's lasting and real, listen to that. This is what you are meant to have. And if you grew up with trauma, what might be blocking you from what you want is unhealed trauma, wobbly boundaries, and a big cluttered pile of half-relationships all over your life. You can't be open to real love when your emotions are like a cluttered home. No one can get in the door. And even if they did, you might not recognize them. In this video, I respond to a letter from a woman who wants real love but first must emerge from the cluttered emotions left behind by her history of disappointing relationships and trauma from the past.

This audio focuses on the significance of email marketing SEO for business growth. The speakers emphasize building quality email lists, highlighting strategies like quizzes and social unlocks to gather primary contact information. We explore techniques for effective email engagement, including segmentation, personalized content, and attention to email size and deliverability. The discussion covers technical aspects of email marketing, such as domain reputation and authentication, while also touching upon broader SEO tactics and the evolving landscape of AI search. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the importance of building genuine connections through email and integrating it strategically within a comprehensive marketing approach.Frequently Asked Questions: Email Marketing SEO1. What is the core concept of "email marketing SEO" being discussed? The central idea is that your email marketing efforts and your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies are deeply interconnected and should work together to drive business growth. This involves understanding how elements of your email marketing, such as list building, segmentation, content, and deliverability, influence your overall online presence and reach, much like traditional SEO focuses on website visibility in search engine results.2. Why is building an email list considered so crucial ("The money's in the list")? Building a robust email list is vital because it represents a direct line of communication with an audience that has shown interest in your brand or offerings. Unlike social media platforms where your reach is subject to algorithms and platform stability, an email list provides a more controlled and personal connection. This allows for relationship building, consistent engagement, and targeted promotions, ultimately leading to conversions and long-term customer value. Furthermore, in a landscape where social media platforms can experience downtime or changes in popularity, your email list remains a stable asset.3. How can businesses effectively grow their email list organically, without relying solely on paid advertising? Several organic methods for email list growth were highlighted. Quizzes are a powerful tool for attracting qualified leads by offering value in exchange for contact information. Social unlocks involve gating exclusive content (like unlisted videos or specific information) behind an email signup form on social media. Offering valuable content like ebooks as downloads also encourages sign-ups. Additionally, consistently creating valuable content through platforms like podcasts and YouTube can naturally drive interested individuals to your email list.4. What role does segmentation play in effective email marketing, especially with a large list? Segmentation is crucial for managing and engaging a large email list effectively. By dividing subscribers into smaller groups based on shared characteristics (e.g., interests indicated through quiz responses or website activity), you can send more targeted and relevant content.5. Why is the "welcome sequence" considered the most underrated email marketing sequence? The welcome sequence sets the crucial first impression for new subscribers. Just like a welcoming experience in a physical store, a thoughtful and engaging welcome email sequence can make subscribers feel valued and understood. This initial interaction lays the foundation for the entire customer relationship, influencing how they will perceive and interact with your future emails and your brand as a whole. A positive welcome can significantly improve long-term engagement and retention.How to stay connected with me

This is what it feels like to fall for an avoidant: First, there's a STRONG feeling of connection, like the feeling you knew was possible, and you recognize it like you've found home at last. Then you attach quickly, while you can, because the signs that they can't love you back begin to appear immediately. They don't look like red flags to you, because that incredible moment when they are right in front of you, but not quite with you – feels like the most romantic feeling you've ever felt. Except you have felt it before. If it keeps happening, in one relationship after another, it means it's not just bad luck, but a pattern. In this video, I respond to a letter from a woman who worries she's doomed forever to pine away for people who don't love her back.

Abuse and neglect in childhood can set in motion lifelong trauma symptoms. The people who hurt you are 100% responsible for this harm... it's NOT your fault. It's also true that in adulthood, many of us continue to retraumatize ourselves with what I call "self-defeating behaviors." These are the habits and tendencies that can suck you right back down into dysregulation and lead you into MORE trauma in your life. In this video, I walk you through the most common self-defeating behaviors. Check which ones are holding you back now. 16 CPTSD Behaviors That Sabotage Your Success: FREE PDF Download: https://bit.ly/3mmvYdA

If your attachment style is so anxious and insecure that when your partner pushes you away, and says “I don't want to be with you anymore,” – YOU hold on tighter than ever – you are stuck in distorted thinking. If you've ever done this – and I have – you know on some level that you're wrong. It's your fear of abandonment driving you to beg and humiliate yourself. And then what do you do? Rationalize it, right? You tell yourself, "I'm not clinging to someone who doesn't me --I'm trying to HELP them!" In this video, I respond to a letter from a man who THINKS he's being nice by trying to help a partner who isn't into him.

Your partner is not your child, so if you're doing everything for them (when they could do these things for themselves), you are overfunctioning. If you grew up with trauma, you may have been “programmed” to pick up all the slack, which might work for a little bit, but eventually it breeds resentment and breakdown of the relationship. Overfunctioning doesn't change by itself when the relationship ends though. In this video I respond to a letter from a woman with CPTSD who left her underfunctioning partner, and will do almost anything NOT to play that role when she dates someone new.

Having more than your share of conflict with other people is a common adult symptom of growing up with neglect and abuse. Fighting, arguing, and falling out with people can feel normal when your nervous system is always dysregulated. It can feel like the world is doing this to you. But if it keeps happening, the common factor may be you, and the good news is, you can heal this trauma-driven behavior. In this video I teach why people with CPTSD are so prone to conflict, and what you can do to "cool down" a conversation that's getting heated. I'll also show you how to repair the damage when relationships are damaged, with step by step instructions on the right way to make an apology.

It's so hard to know if you should stay in a safe relationship even though it's dull, or break up with that person so you can try for something more romantic and wild? If you grew up with trauma, you may see these as the only two options. And chances are, until you heal, no new relationship will bring the fulfillment and love you hope for.

People with CPTSD often end up with a harsh "edge" to their personalities, especially when they feel vulnerable. It's no surprise that after a childhood of emotional neglect and deprivation, without protection from bullies or abusers, some of us would have "fighting energy," even when we're trying to flirt or go on dates. You can develop a distorted idea of the qualities people are looking for in a mate, and aggressively promote one aspect of your life, while using language and an emotional tone that pushes them away. My letter today is from a woman who considers herself to look "perfect on paper," but has never had a successful relationship. Hear her letter and my tough love advice for her.

Unfortunately, it can be very easy to take advantage of people who were traumatized as kids, and make them think that some uncomfortable or painful or exploitative situation will lead to being loved. When you haven't been loved properly, almost everyone becomes vulnerable to manipulation, because love and being included is something we all want so much. We need it! And one way that manipulative people can take what they want from vulnerable people is by giving you spiritual or ideological reasons why you should go against common sense, even when red flags are flashing, accepting bad treatment, and in many cases consent to continued exploitation.

One sign that childhood trauma is still affecting you is that you probably have at least one of these common triggers -- things that set off dysregulation in your nervous system, and make it hard for you to function at your best. These include hurrying, socializing, abandonment and feeling left out. Do you have these? In this 4-video compilation I share some of my most popular videos about these four major triggers.

But really, what COULD set things right? And even if they really had changed, would you be able to handle picking up that relationship again without falling back down into a place you know TOO well, where you're depressed and dysregulated and your life gets stuck?

In life, there are people who are going to try to treat you badly. Your gut is going to tell you that what they're doing is NOT OK, and your gut KNOWS you need to get out of there. But if you were abused or neglected as a kid? There's something a lot stronger than what you know to be true, and that's the fear of leaving someone you've formed an attachment with. It will make you doubt what you see and hear with your own eyes, and you'll talk yourself into putting up with something that two hours ago you KNEW was a deal breaker.
