Dear high-achieving people, this one's for you.  You are the individuals who light up the world with your passion and zest for life. But there's a thin line between being driven and obsessive. It's so easy to fall into the inability to accept where we are now as we chase after the next accomplishment. Brandi Molitor aims to help energetic go-getters like you recognize your values, realign your life, and slowly enjoy the fruits of your labor. She joins us to share actionable tips and insights that you need to hear now! Tune in to this episode: Why We're Obsessed with the Next Rung of Achievement with Brandi Molitor Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Detach yourself from the outcome. Identify the root of your desire. What are you hoping for when you get there? What will it mean if you fail? Accomplishing your goal isn't going to fill the void or fulfill your unaddressed need to be loved and appreciated.  ✔️ Check how you're showing up daily. Have you been taking care of yourself? Focus on what lights you up about your work and how you've been treating yourself. Let go of imaginary milestones – you get to set the rules.  ✔️ Break out from the blueprint by asking why. Media has conditioned us to pursue the typical image of success: a house, kids, and a high-paying job. Look at your goals through a judgment-free lens and think: Is this what you truly want?  ✔️ Walk yourself through the worst-case scenario. What would you do if you were unsuccessful in reaching your goal? What's the worst thing that could happen? Getting a clear idea will give you an objective view of what you'd have to deal with should the worst happen.  ✔️ Not everyone is the best person to talk to about difficult decisions. Choose someone who is skilled in holding a safe conversation. A community or coach can see things through an outsider's lens and give healthy feedback. Brandi Molitor is a white, queer woman who is committed to living a life of truth. She works with high-achieving folks who want to align with their core desires and alleviate their frustration and confusion, bringing them closer to peace and clarity.

There's no denying it. Nice guys are toxic. Take it from emotional analysis and resolution coach Ashley Cox, who's been working with nice guys in taking back their personal power. Men get stuck in this unhealthy archetype in response to unattended childhood trauma and unmet needs. While it's impossible for women to force their male-bodied partners to change, they can make decisions that benefit the relationship while transforming it by showing up with more authenticity and honesty. Tune in to this episode: Why Nice Guys Don't Get What They Want (and What To Do About It) with Ashley Cox Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Be in touch with your rage and pain and get comfortable with it. Nice guys are afraid of becoming a threat. So they let go of taking charge. Ashley Cox advises men to be the protector against bad men, their partner's self-sabotage, and their own unaddressed trauma. ✔️ Be a safe place for your man to express himself authentically. Instead of poking his buttons, explore your disruptive behaviors that block him from showing his real self. Be vulnerable — go first.  ✔️ Appreciate your partner's efforts! Men and women are wired differently by nature. If you see your man being receptive and trying, don't forget to praise him for that. ✔️ Women have more power than they realize. Not recognizing and disrespecting their efforts can hurt men emotionally and physically. In the end, both of you want connection. Work on building safety for it to happen! Many women want an emotionally connected man but most of us aren't ready to fully receive one. It's time to find ways to soften up and own your role in the relationship and give him space to show up for you. Ashley Cox MT, CTP-C, NLP is the first and only female international emotional analysis and resolution coach for ‘nice guys'. She guides 'nice guys' to use their unreciprocated relationship to create personal power and more wealth. In addition to getting and keeping their dream women, her clients have collectively generated millions of dollars from regaining their executive function and confidence after tackling subconscious blocks of fear, doubt, shame, guilt, anger, self-love deficit disorder, and pain with her.

In today's world, the definition of femininity is being reshaped. Power dynamics in our relationships are shifting, and with that shift we need to reconsider how we approach women's success and leadership. Renowned transformational executive coach and feminine leadership advocate Ekene Onu shares that authentic femininity is not about conforming to societal expectations but about embracing one's true self.  "Iconic womanhood" is about rising above the noise and redefining what it means to be a woman in a powerful position. Tune in to this episode: Soft and Strong with Ekene Onu Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Successful women, especially those in male-dominated fields, often face a 'social penalty'. This makes them downplay their achievements to fit into societal norms. Rather than performative femininity, it's time to advocate for genuine self-expression.  ✔️ Masculinity is not about diminishing or overshadowing femininity. When men understand their noble role, they uplift and empower the women around them, and vice versa. ✔️ The dangers of perceiving femininity as merely ornamental. Femininity is not about just being looked at or adored; it has depth, purpose, and strength. ✔️ Masculine and feminine energies are not strictly tied to gender. It's about how we show up. While masculine energy is often seen as a boulder (strong and focused), feminine energy is like a flowing river (creative and intuitive). ✔️ Leadership attributes often ascribed to femininity such as nurturing, creativity, and intuition are powerful tools. They can be leveraged in business scenarios like project management, innovation, and gut-based decisions. Ekene Onu is a Transformational Executive Coach, DEI consultant and Feminine Leadership expert. Following a career of two decades in as a healthcare professional, she reinvented herself and underwent a personal revolution to reclaim her feminine power and choose to create a life of passion & purpose. She received her training from several notable institutions, such as Georgetown University and Cornell University. Her unique holistic style of executive coaching supports the whole leader and her clients increase performance and feel more connected, happy and engaged, and find deep meaning in their work. Through these initiatives, she has built a community of intentional women who are profitable and purposeful.

Welcome to the 100th episode of my podcast! It's amazing looking back at all the wonderful conversations we've had and seeing this show evolve from just being about relationships to how we relate ourselves with the world. Let me walk you through how our lives are all about optimizing my relationships from lessons I've learned working with a dog behaviorist. I assure you, this is going to be a juicy and eye-opening one! Tune in to this episode: Celebrating 100 Episodes with the 3 B's of Relationship Dynamics Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Consider what role you need to step into for the relationship. Does the moment call you to be a buddy, butler, or a boss? Rethink how you show up in both personal and business connections. ✔️ Your union is a separate entity. If it feels wonky, one or both of you could be out of alignment with it. Sit side by side and observe it from an objective lens. Identify what the union needs in that certain situation. ✔️ Serve the relationship, not the person. Seeing it this way allows you to have clarity around habitual pitfalls in your relationships and makes you self-aware of how you're presenting yourself. ✔️ There's power in recalibration. You don't need to chameleon yourself and sweep issues under the rug. Develop the skill of knowing and being flexible in giving what your relationships need.   ————————————————————————————————   ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

All our lives, we find ourselves on a journey for purpose. But with that journey comes the need for the willingness to change. Renowned keynote speaker and bestselling author Ken Foster guides us on harnessing the power of courage to elevate and improve ourselves.  It's time we start using courage as an internal force. By channeling the strength that it brings, one can rise above challenges, and refocus on a positive trajectory. Tune in to this episode: The Courage To Step Into Your Greatness with Ken Foster Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Every choice made out of fear has a cost. It can create challenges and problems in our lives. Embrace the courage to make better choices that lead to joy, wealth, happiness, and a positive impact on the world. ✔️ To change, one needs to acknowledge and appreciate their present state. Don't forget to celebrate where you are while also being open to growth and improvement. ✔️ Quality questions can determine the quality of our life. By asking powerful questions, we can open our minds to new possibilities and tap into a deeper understanding of ourselves. ✔️ Childhood traumas act as rust over our innate genius. The journey is about removing this rust. We have to dive into the subconscious to release the buried traumas and negative patterns. ✔️ Everything is connected. The principle of entanglement shows that our energy affects the world around us. By working on our personal energy and emotions, we enact change in our surroundings. Ken D. Foster is a keynote speaker, best-selling author, business strategist, and news personality, who owns a broadcast & media production company.

Navigating relationships can get tricky for women entrepreneurs, especially if their spouses are building businesses too! Your relationship doesn't have to go down the drain as you aim for success.  eWomenNetwork CEO and Founder Sandra Yancey shares her advice for fellow visionaries on how to keep the fire alive between you and your spouse while hitting those business milestones! Tune in to this episode: Making Working Together Work with Sandra Yancey Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Intentionally shifting your energy from CEO to wife is key. We underestimate the power of a transition ritual. Like how we prepare ourselves to meditate or worship, we need to ready ourselves for the various roles we play. ✔️ Be vocal about your wants and needs. If you're not in the mood to cook, say it. Don't expect your spouse to be a mind-reader. ✔️ Respect each other's sandboxes. It's best for both of you to ask permission if one of you needs resources from the other's business. Respect boundaries and practice making clear requests. ✔️ Create structures around meetings. Have a clear agenda and desired outcome and list off-topic ideas and concerns to be discussed in another session. This method works for both business and family meetings! What matters is for everyone to be mentally present. ✔️ The real test of love is how you handle difficult times. You have to learn how to find ways to stick together and work it out. Look back at what has helped you survive, so you can appreciate each other. As a successful, award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, and TV personality, Sandra Yancey is recognized as a Top 100 Difference Maker by The International Alliance of Women.  Being a woman who grew up on welfare and bootstrapping her way to success as the CEO & Founder of eWomenNetwork, Sandra understands first-hand the struggles that entrepreneurs face on the road to happiness and financial success.  Sandra's mission is to help one million women entrepreneurs each achieve one million dollars in annual revenue while showing them that you can still live a full life as a spouse and parent with plenty of fun.

★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz Growing up, women have been conditioned to be chronic people pleasers.

I come to you today in a state of grief. I've recently lost a teacher and soul friend, Sally Kempton. With this recent loss, I've been reflecting on my teachings around love being the fundamental nature of life. Our current society has often glorified moving on and snapping out of grief as quickly as possible. But I invite you today to welcome this beautiful emotion into your heart and allow it… to help you explore the deepness of your ability to feel and get in touch with what makes you human. Tune in to this episode: Allowing Grief To Open You Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Grief is a portal into the depth of love beyond the physical.  Although your deceased loved one is no longer in this world, grief is the connecting thread that binds you. As long as you keep kindling the fire, you'll never be apart. ✔️ Avoiding our emotions blocks us from accessing who we really are. Skating along the surface of our feelings leaves us with unfulfilling relationships. Don't be afraid of getting in touch with the raw love in your heart. ✔️ Let yourself grieve. Let it crack you open. Embrace its presence. Isn't it amazing that this beautiful feeling you have is the foundation of all life? ✔️ Use grief to teach you to discover the beauty of your heart. It shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of. Emotions connect us with other living beings. Find how grief feels in your body, and bring it back out into the world as love. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

When we're in a bad mood, we often create more wreckage than necessary. If we did things a little differently, we could make space to feel our feelings while keeping our relationships strong and connected. With only one day left on our Paris trip, my phone was stolen, and I was so focused on the pictures I lost that I was allowing it to wreck our last 24 hours of fun, until my fiancé Patrick put his foot down and I agreed to shift my state. We were able to navigate this tricky situation with tips that I'll be sharing to help you shift your mood and shield your loved ones from unnecessary conflict. Tune in to this episode: When You're in a Bad Mood. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ When bad things happen, give yourself grace! Let people around you know that you need some space to decompress. This prevents you from venting your frustrations on your loved ones and prevents long-term wreckage. ✔️ Ready to shift? Try box breathing. But if you're not prepared to change, don't force it! If you're ready, do several rounds of inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding, each one for the same count of (at least) four, depending on your comfort level with holding out your exhale. ✔️ Sweat out the bad mood! If breathing exercises aren't for you, get moving. Dance to your favorite song. Pound a pillow. Masturbate. Take a walk or do any rigorous physical activity to shift your state for the better. ✔️ Steer your attention somewhere else. When we're pissed, our attention tends to focus itself inward. The key is to get out of your head – step outside. Spend time in nature. Look at something beautiful. Pet cute puppies at the animal shelter. Do what feels good to shift your focus. Don't let your nervous system control you! You have more power to shift your state than you might believe. If you don't want to, no problem! Take your time, and consider how you could be affecting the people around you by choosing to stay where you are. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

Happy Fourth of July! As we celebrate our independence, I invite you to reframe this holiday as more than just liberation from an oppressive regime. Even if we as a collective have survived this harsh experience, sometimes this oppressiveness gets recreated – especially in our relationships. We find ourselves in the same unhealthy patterns and dynamics with different people. In this episode, I invite you to reflect on our interconnectedness – how we treat the world and the people we meet affect everything around us. Tune in to this episode: Happy Interdependence Day! Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Interdependence is an elevated way of approaching life. It's a necessary part of our survival and moves us closer to the truth of what's really going on. ✔️ Free yourself from limiting beliefs! What are the habitual patterns that you would like to change? This could be what is holding you back from imagining a better possibility for your life. ✔️ Consider how oppression shows up in your life. You could have liberated yourself from your family's oppressive conditioning but it reoccurs in your workplace or a spiritual community.  ✔️ Be independent as you exist in the world.

In honor of Pride month here in the US, I wanted to bring you a genuine conversation with a number of dear friends of mine about our own discoveries about our places in the LGBTQIA+ universe. We're having a frank, open discussion about our experiences, our joys, our struggles, and so much more. Regardless of how you (or those in your lives) identify, these issues touch all of us, and I want to help bring greater understanding to my community and to all those whose lives you touch. I'm joined by three amazing guests – not “experts” per se, simply real people: Kelly Mahalak, Cassandra Coghill, and Chivas Sandage – as we dive into: Our own journeys to self-discovery The terms we use to describe ourselves, and the challenges in using these terms Compulsory heterosexuality Coming out is not a one-time thing The privilege and curse of “passing” The many joys in our lives related to our queerness Laughter. Tears. Deep truths. This conversation has it all!!! About Cassandra A. Coghill I am Cassandra A. Coghill, a Relationship Alchemist and Intimacy Guide. I am a healer, a priestess, and a witch. I have a Bachelor's degree in Women and Gender Studies, with a minor in Human Development and Family Science, from North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND. (Go Bison!)  While attending college, I became a certified Reiki Master Practitioner and gave birth to my first child. While pregnant with my second child, I was initiated onto the path of priestesshood at the Goddess Temple of Ashland, Oregon. I am also an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church. A powerful inner call to understand the mysteries of life lead me into the study of metaphysics and the occult from a young age. I have been a practicing solitary white witch for the past 11 years. I have studied the Tarot since 2014 and consult it and other oracles for myself and my clients regularly. I work with the so-called “classical” or “Western” elements of Air, Water, Fire and Earth in nearly everything I do. My love for the so-called “Eastern” traditions runs deep (I've studied yoga, tantra, ayurveda, traditional chinese medicine, feng shui and Buddhist philosophy informally but extensively); but, as a person of predominantly British ancestry, the deepest and most powerful magick I bring forth tends to be drawn from ancient, indigenous European traditions, rituals, symbologies and myths. I commune with angels, dance with faeries and sing the songs of my ancestors regularly.” To learn more about and follow Cassandra: infinitegenesis.com/bio-links Facebook.com/Cassandra.coghill.37 Instagram.com/Cassandra.coghill About Chivas Sandage Chivas Sandage teaches women's writing workshops on Zoom and also works privately as a coach, editor, and consultant.

Each of us is living in our own timeline.  The pressure to follow the same path and timeline as everyone else is an illusion. Just take a breath and say this aloud: “Tough titties!” In this episode, award-winning copywriter and Talking Shrimp founder Laura Belgray shares her challenging experiences growing up, the stress of fitting in among cliques, finding her soulmate (unexpectedly!), and why the world needs more of your stories. Tune in to this episode: Tough Titties with Laura Belgray Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ People grow and change. In any environment, everyone we've met can transform and have different behaviors and interests as life goes on. Someone who may have been harsh to us back then can do better in the present. ✔️ Tough Titties is a rejection to conform to societal timelines. There's nothing wrong with being a late-bloomer. What we want comes to us in its own time. ✔️ Don't put all your eggs in one basket. When looking for your special someone, date multiple people at the same time. Have distractions so that this person you like doesn't become your sole focus. This allows things to ripen in their own time. ✔️ Practice energetic agility. It can be tricky to shift your energy from what you're hyper-focused on to a loved one that needs your attention. Look for ways you can make the transition more smooth. It can be a few deep breaths or verbally letting them know how you feel. ✔️  You have so many stories in you! Stories are great tools for selling or commanding a room. There's no such thing as a boring life. Let the world know your truth! ✔️ Choosing the right relationship is a service. You want to be in one that welcomes your authentic self and encourages your partner to be real, too. When people are comfortable in their own skin, they pass this energy on to others, creating a positive ripple effect. Laura Belgray is founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure, and author of Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F'ing Worst. An award-winning copywriting expert, she helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she's seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your Buy button. In addition to online types, Laura's list of clients and credits include NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many, many more. So if you watch TV -- and don't skip the commercials -- you've probably seen her words on air. Tough Titties, her first book, came out via Hachette in June, 2023.

Today's episode is inspired by a quote I read the other day from screenwriter Shonda Rhimes: “I am not lucky. You know what I am? I am smart. I am talented. I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way. And I work really, really hard. Don't call me lucky. Call me a badass.” We have this rampant habit among women of shrinking ourselves because we think it will make others feel comfortable around us.  Now's the time for you to quit it and start embodying your full worth! Tune in to this episode: Quit Downplaying Your Accomplishments Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Make your own version of Shonda Rhimes' quote. Like this: “I am not _____. You know what I am? I am _____. I am _____. I take advantage of _____. And I _____. Don't call me _____. Call me _____.” Be sure to choose words that resonate with you. ✔️ Know the truth of your brilliance! Without your efforts, you wouldn't be where you are today. Every day for at least 30 days, read aloud the above acknowledgment you've written for yourself and let it transform your vibration. ✔️ Be anchored in your power. Do you wonder why the sales didn't happen or you keep attracting the wrong people? It's because you haven't embraced the wonders of who you are. ✔️ Knowing your worth isn't arrogance. It's confidence. And it doesn't have to mean being bigger or smaller than others. Just be the right size that tells the truth of your story. --------------- ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

Seven years ago, our dog Phoenix started showing signs of fear aggression. We took her to a dog trainer that taught us this valuable practice to calm her down — which we later discovered also helped us create deeper connection, intimacy, and playfulness with one another! Hostility and irritability are usually rooted in being ungrounded in some way.  With this simple practice of closing the gap, you can help your partner (and yourself!) relax and settle down, coming into greater connection again instead of spinning out into a fight. Tune in to this episode: Closing The Gap Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Your presence is enough. When your partner seems ungrounded, just sit near them in silence. Allow your calm nervous system to support their energy in settling. ✔️ Get playful when closing the gap. With each other's consent, of course! It can look like a bear hug, or gradually inching closer to your partner when they're raging, or speaking in a playful tone. ✔️ It takes courage to go first. Be the bigger person, not to gain power over them, but because you're more interested in contributing to having a connected relationship than you are in winning a war. ✔️ Apply this practice anywhere! In a more professional setting, you could breathe with a team member or client, or sit near them without saying anything. Contribute your relaxed energy to support them in settling down. --------------- ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps growth-oriented women develop clarity and alignment with themselves and their vision, so they can attract or deepen their relationship with their ideal partner and create a fulfilling life without compromising who they are.  ★ TAKE THE “YOUR GROWN-ASS POWER” QUIZ ★ For passionate women having a “Now what?” moment who are ready to turn on their unapologetic power. http://relationshipalchemy.com/power-quiz As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali helps women communicate more effectively and transform patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of love, connection, and success in relationships and business.

Rudeness is on the rise. While it seems easier to let our emotions get the best of us, doing this takes us out of alignment from a life of peace and joy. Sam Horn, author and CEO of the Intrigue Agency, graces the show and shares valuable tips on what to say (and not say) when you just don't feel like talking, and how to prevent tricky situations from getting worse. We can't control outside circumstances, but we can control how we respond and what we say. Tune in to this episode: Talking on Eggshells—What to Say When You Don't Know What To Say  Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Never use “but” in a disagreement.  This signals an explanation that comes across as an excuse. It also signifies that you aren't holding yourself accountable for what happened. ✔️ Apologizing doesn't mean you're responsible.  It's a way to acknowledge the other person's inconvenience. Giving them compassion avoids further conflict. ✔️ Say “Yes” more often.  Instead of telling children, “No, you can't do this.” Give them a condition that they need to accomplish before they can get what they asked for. ✔️ Be more specific.  Avoid sweeping generalizations. Find out the root of the issue and address it before jumping to conclusions. ✔️ No one can make us angry without our consent.  We all have control over our own emotions. You have that power. ✔️ Set boundaries without getting angry.  You can use non-verbal cues to get people to back off when you feel like a boundary has been crossed. --------------- Sam Horn, CEO of the Intrigue Agency, is a 3-time TEDx speaker and author of 10 books - including her newest available in June, Talking on Eggshells, plus Tongue Fu!, POP!, Washington Post bestseller, Got Your Attention? - that have been featured in NY Times, Fast Company, Forbes, on NPR, and taught to Intel, Cisco, Oracle, Capital One, Fidelity, and Accenture.  Richard Branson's New Now Leaders, TED Fellows, NASA, and EO have all hired Sam to coach their executives on media training and public speaking.  Sam was Executive Director of the Maui Writers Conference (which Writers Digest called "the best writers conference in the world") for 17 years, and has helped hundreds of clients crystallize quality books and keynotes that have scaled their impact and income - for good.

There's so much pressure surrounding Valentine's Day. This pressure to be romantic evokes negative emotions in others who are just not in the mood to feel the love in the air. However, you can transform this day into an opportunity to deepen your relationship with yourself and with others. Tune in to this episode: Valentine's Day Tips That Don't Suck Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Watch what's coming up. How do you feel about this holiday? Be with it  for a bit. Play some music that aligns with the emotions you feel. And truly feel them. Let them move through you. ✔️ Reach out. Is there anyone you really want to connect with? Send a Valentine's Day text. Call that person. ✔️ React upon your desires. Allow yourself from a loving place to choose an action that goes with what you feel. Practice moving in the direction of what you want. You have the power to decide how you respond to it.  ✔️ Give yourself permission to be where you are. This is an external expression of self-love. And it doesn't always look like bubble baths and wine. It's taking action that actually backs yourself. ——————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

During sessions, I often use a metaphor to talk about relationships in a larger way to help them see what's happening. Some relationships are like wilted plants. The leaves have dried up, but reviving the plant is still possible. What happens in long-term relationships is that the busyness of life gets in the way of us regularly watering it to keep it alive. And there are specific ways to do that. Tune in to this episode: Your Relationship as a Plant Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Some relationships need repotting. It may need a larger community around it, whether that's opening it up or spending more time with friends and family. ✔️ Appreciation is the most nutritive water for dry soil. Acknowledge good things you and your partner are doing. This can help you escape from a pattern of criticism. ✔️ Journal what your relationship looks like. Imagine it as a plant and ask yourself: Are the leaves wilted? Are there habits that need to be pruned? Is the pot too small for you and your partner? ✔️ Don't leave without trying. Give watering a try. You might end up with an even more loving and close relationship than what you had before. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

The foundation of effective communication is self-love. Let Laurie-Ann Murabito, former shy-gal-turned-speaking-coach, walk you through her methods on how she overcame the shame in giving the first word, and who now exudes confidence in speaking, both to her partner and to an audience. Tune in to this episode: Communicating with Confidence in Business and Marriage with Laurie-Ann Murabito. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Make in-person events count. Make small talk to each attendee that comes in at the door. Cite them in your speech. Memorize the start and the end of your presentation to shake off jitters and avoid rushing. Be selective of the feedback you get. ✔️ The more you ask, the easier it gets. Practice requesting your partner for more time or attention. Ask the hard questions. It gets trickier the more you delay it. ✔️ Your home life impacts your work life. And not vice versa. Spending a short moment to connect can fuel you to be at your best career-wise. Work together to make the dance as smooth as possible. ✔️ The relationship is a choice. It's not a piece of paper or a ring. As you take responsibility for your own emotions, you actively decide daily that you want to be with this person. ✔️ Confidence comes in many shapes and sizes. You don't have to copy how others do it. Find your own energy. ———————————————— Laurie-Ann Murabito, a Speaking Coach and Speaking Strategist, works with clients to communicate with confidence and leverage speaking opportunities to be positioned as the expert, attract high-end clients, and monetize their authority.

Are you looking to create a new year to-do list that you'll actually accomplish? Here's an easy goal-setting method I learned from my life coach. I've been doing this for 15 years, and I recommend you do it too! You can also do it with your partner if you want to take your relationship to the next level. Tune in to this episode: Yearly Goal Setting That Works. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Write down all your desires. Be it money, travels, things for your home, or better health – don't hold back! Make that list as long as you can. ✔️ Sort your list into three categories. A priorities – Things that you'll put your attention on first B priorities – Things you'll act on but not as important as A C priorities – “Nice-to-have” dreams that you'll someday do ✔️ Liberate yourself from the pressure. This is what the C category is for. Allow yourself to express your desires, even if they may not happen. ✔️ Work on one priority from the A-list. Slowly get through it. Be sure to review your list quarterly so you can see your progress. Because your goals are broken down into small chunks, you're more likely to hit them. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Making a difference in the world starts within ourselves. Musician and writer Andre Henry talks about addressing our own pain and trauma to cultivate better relationships, challenging masculine and feminine norms, and creating more space for emotional and heartfelt conversation. Tune in to this episode: Staying Soft in a Hard World with Marie-Elizabeth Mali & Andre Henry. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ The lack of space to address trauma destroys relationships. Social justice should be about working on healthy connections – be it with others or with ourselves. Andre wants to tell his story to uncover the facade of perfection. ✔️ Be more intentional about your femininity or masculinity. It isn't being a good or bad person. It's being aware of your ability to express your emotions and hone your emotional intelligence. ✔️ Never invalidate your partner's feelings. As both of you openly share your emotions, approach it with an open mind. Be careful of the words you choose. Intention doesn't instantly reflect on impact. ✔️ A shift has to happen. Men must learn to feel deeply and verbalize how they feel. Women have to de-armor after years of putting up walls against the patriarchy. ✔️ Re-do moments where you contradict yourself. Try your best to explain your intent clearly and empathize with the person you have upset. Andre Henry is a musician and writer using his creativity to build a movement for racial healing and social progress. He has spent years searching for answers about how ordinary people can change the world through collective action and is working hard to spread to mainstream audiences what he's learned on this journey.

Creating a healthy relationship requires intention. And the littlest things that you can do every day make the biggest difference. Clinical and life coach Mollie Birney shares the habits of healthy couples that you, too, can apply to strengthen your relationships. Tune in to this episode: Habits of Healthy Couples with Mollie Birney. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Words are powerful. Give casual compliments. Acknowledge your partner's help and every instance they do something right. ✔️ Requests and responses matter. Make requests of each other. Respond to them from a place of service, not of sacrifice. If it's not a clear yes, then it's a no. ✔️ Healthy couples have difficult conversations. They share hard truths and lead these talks with concern. Establish trust to avoid leaving dark and untouched topics. Be more curious about the root of issues than the symptom. ✔️ Give each other feedback. Affirm your partner when they respect your boundaries and make an effort to improve. ✔️ Start from awareness. If you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up for it. Notice it without judgment. Be curious as to why you keep repeating these bad habits. ———————————————————————————————— Mollie Birney is a Clinical Coach in private practice, she provides life coaching with an eye toward mental health to high-achieving professionals seeking efficient, authentic transitions and behavioral change.

Today's topic is quick yet juicy. What are some ways to spice things up in the bedroom? I'll be sharing my easy and doable pieces of advice so you can make every sex session fun and memorable for both you and your partner. Tune in to this episode: Tips for Better Sex. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Get to know your own body. We have other erogenous zones beyond our genitals. Stroke and touch yourself to feel good in your own skin. A good reference is Emily Nagoski's book, Come As You Are. ✔️ Ask for what you want in bed more directly. Well-meaning partners are NOT mind-readers! Say what feels good before things get worse. Nothing kills desire more than feeling wrong. ✔️ Practice touching your partner. Spend 10-15 minutes pleasuring yourself or your partner in different ways, and see how you or they respond. It doesn't have to end with intercourse every time – zero pressure! ✔️ Ask for stimulating foreplay. Most women don't climax from penetrative sex. Request your partner to prepare you for what's to come. Experiment with toys. Be compassionate and educate each other along the way. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

For the longest time, our upbringing and society have taught us gender-based expectations. Even with the tides changing, some habits are still ingrained in us. When you feel frustrated as to why your partner doesn't see the need to do the dishes or take out the trash, it's important to understand the factors and know what you and your partner can do about it to avoid the stress. Tim Wade discusses these deep-rooted reasons and different ways to solve these issues. Tune in to this episode: Why Does He Do That? A Peek Into the "Mysterious" Masculine Mind with Tim Wade. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Have more compassion and empathy. While some men still believe there are men-centered tasks, others just don't know how to do more feminine roles like changing diapers. They also have a more focused awareness — not noticing the stack of dishes in the sink because they're thinking about the problem at work. ✔️ Sit down and talk. Share each others' ideas of division of labor, and try to reach an agreement that is fair for both sides. Drop the ledger, and stop keeping score! ✔️ Your partner is not a mind-reader. If you don't feel heard, talk about your concern. Let go of agenda and judgment. Listen and validate the other for understanding and empathy. Sometimes, they're not hurting you on purpose. They just don't know any better. ✔️ Be more direct. Men are usually listening for direction and instruction. Instead of being passive-aggressive, clearly say what you need. You can also help them preemptively condition their listening for them to understand what you're trying to say. ✔️ Do a do-over. This is a great exercise in self-awareness and humility. When you show up in a way that is not your best, you can always re-do it. ———————————————————————————————— After being blindsided by an unexpected mid-life divorce, Tim Wade turned his deepest wound into a powerful message of transformation that he has shared with thousands of men worldwide. Tim created LionHearted Men Coaching to help men thrive in their relationships by teaching them the counter-intuitive secrets that allowed him to become a strong, confident, and compassionate father, partner, and lover. Although his main focus has been supporting men to become the best version of themselves, his ideas about how to have an amazing relationship and a life worth living resonates with women as well.

Holidays can often be a time of stress, especially if your relationships aren't how you want them to be. There's so much pressure put on our connections with our partners, friends, and family. This is why I wanted to give you the tools not only to survive, but to actually thrive through the holidays and set yourself up for a great upcoming year. Tune in to this episode: Thriving Through the Holidays. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Decide in advance how you want to feel. Check in and make that choice. Do you want to be loved? In solitude? Supported? This helps you keep track and know what you need to change. ✔️ Set boundaries. What do they look like? Be it touching at a party or an extra drink — you can say no. You can focus on drawing them so you can take care of yourself. ✔️ Take care of your body. You can still enjoy yourself during the holidays without sabotaging your physical health. Choose one healthy thing you would pay attention to —like better sleep, exercise, or meditation. ✔️ Give yourself permission to feel. If you find yourself feeling down while others are partying, you don't have to force yourself to conform. Exit that situation. Treat yourself more lovingly without having to bring others down. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Don't be nice. Be kind! This is the core tenet of ruthless compassion. Ruthless compassion is achieving a balance of being honest and clear with strong boundaries while practicing kindness and acceptance. But a lot of times in relationships, we tend to go either on one side or the other. Dr. Marcia Sirota joins us to give her insights and advice on why we should be taking responsibility for our own self-care, how to develop boundaries and tolerance, why we shouldn't turn to romcoms for answers, and why adult relationships should be conditional. Tune in to this episode: Ruthless Compassion with Dr. Marcia Sirota. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ The condition for love is respect and kindness. Your partner should allow you to be your authentic self. You don't have to change your quirks and interests (unless they are causing hurt). If you find yourself working too hard, it's not worth keeping. ✔️ Learning ruthless compassion is a process. Whether it's alone or with a partner, you progress, make mistakes, and get back up again. Build that attitude of curiosity, self-compassion, and desire to know the truth of your patterns. ✔️ Get a trusted guide. This can be anyone who can help you see the reality of your experiences. Choose someone who lives a fulfilling and respectable life. ✔️ With courtesy and boundaries, you don't need rules. There isn't a one-size-fits-all for relationships as each is unique. See what makes you feel most comfortable and speak up if you experience a violation of your values. ✔️ Practice healthy confrontation. Follow these steps: Take a breath. Don't attack. Say, “When you did/said [the action or words], I felt [happy/sad/confused]. Wait for their response. Their answer isn't a reflection of your character. ———————————————————————————————— Dr. Marcia Sirota is a board-certified psychiatrist practicing in Toronto, Canada. She has more than 25 years of mental health experience and specializes in wellness, healing trauma, unblocking creativity, and supporting people to become their best selves. She is the founder of the Ruthless Compassion Institute, which promotes empowerment and self-awareness. She is a podcaster, the author of five books, and an instructor of several online courses. Her most recent book is “Be Kind, Not Nice: How to Stop People-Pleasing, Build Your Confidence and Discover Your Authentic Self.”  She is going into her sixth year of a podcast with over one hundred episodes.

If you really want something, you're willing to work for it. The relationship and life that you truly desire won't come if you just sit back and wait for it. It's about knowing the key elements to achieve it, taking actionable steps, and collaborating with the universe through trust and faith. Tune in to this episode: Creating the Relationships and Life You Want Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Consider the ten elements to creating the life you want. I'll be going through them one by one, what each entails, and what you need to do about each. A clear vision, desire, and belief are the top three. ✔️ Be attentive of lag time. It's the period you decide you want a thing and when you get it. It looks like a delay, but you can create your own meaning for it. Will you beat yourself up for taking too long, or will you see it as a time to nurture your growth? Change sticks when you can imagine yourself winning. ✔️ Combine inner work with outer actions. We can create ease, but that doesn't mean everything we do is easy. Allow your life to unfold in its own timeline, and surrender your efforts to the universe. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

There's so much judgment and shame instilled in being a highly-sensitive person. What most people don't realize is that this is a superpower. Therapeutic business coach, Heather Dempsey, breaks down what it means to be a highly-sensitive person (HSP), how to optimize this ability in your career and business, effective communication with non-sensitive people, and ways to self-regulate. Tune in to this episode: Emotional Health with Heather Dempsey Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ You're an HSP if you do this. Do noises outside seem more disruptive? Do you freak out over little things when others don't? Do certain things feel like they're magnified at a ten? ✔️ HSPs must navigate relationships differently. Figure out your tipping points, and form boundaries around them. Avoid triggering situations. Let go of the idea that you're the “awkward one”. ✔️ HSPs can avoid projection. Identify the beliefs you've created. Filter which ones are true and false. Rebuild your resource of truth. Accept that some beliefs could be real, but challenge them how some might not be. ✔️ Talk to non-sensitives with empathy. They don't sense the same things as you do. You may also react in ways that are uncomfortable for them, and that's okay. ✔️ Self-regulation helps. Find activities that are self-nurturing. Practice patience in this fast-paced world. ———————————————————————————————— Heather Dempsey is a therapeutic business coach specializing in emotional health, mindset, and the psychology of business. She helps introverts, empaths, HSP, or those who struggle with anxiety show up powerfully and comfortably in their business by creating radical emotional and mindset transformations so they can thrive in business, life, and beyond. She's also a foodie, cat-lover, personal development, and self-care enthusiast.

There are many different ways we self-sabotage when it comes to love. And most of them are quite subtle that we don't realize add up over time. Today, we'll be talking about these unexpected ways, what you can do about it, and a free resource for you to go deeper into your self-learning. Tune in to this episode: Unexpected Ways You May Be Blocking Love. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Deflecting compliments. People send love your way through positive words about your outfit or how you look. Instead of saying, “This dress is on sale,” or rejecting it, accept it with open arms. ✔️ Refusing help. Service is love. Saying no to it because of your over-self-reliance tells the universe that you don't need anything or anyone. What you give out tends to come back. ✔️ Picking apart mistakes. Shift this into appreciating what your partner does right. Don't fixate on the tiny things that went wrong so you can assimilate the love that already exists. ✔️ Become a gracious receiver. Watch how more comes to you when you're aware of how you block love and work on opening yourself to what is given to you.

Returning to the dating scene middle-aged and post-divorce can be terrifying for most. But Paul Aaron Travis has been on over 100 dates and counting – the experience proving to be fruitful and life-changing. He shares with us his advice for individuals like him about letting go of expectations, authenticity vs intimacy, tracking your dates and potential partners, and finding your partner through effective questioning. Tune in to this episode: Dating After 40 with Paul Aaron Travis. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Utilize helpful tools. Paul recommends attending gatherings such as his Singles Salon, follow a blueprint like his 40-Plus Dating Reset, and use a dating log to list key details of your dates, such as: Last time they contacted you How long you've been dating Any red or green flags ✔️ Authenticity vs. Intimacy. Although interconnected, they are different. Authenticity is presenting who you really are to the world and how you live. Intimacy is being genuine within to allow others to enter your world. ✔️ Do a vibration check. Consider why you're dating in the first place. Then, don't rush the process of meeting new people. As we are experiencing collective anxiety about the future, it's important to choose someone who strikes the right chords. ✔️ There is power in questions. People who've had bad breakups and bad dates may feel cynical. But engaging in deep conversations with your dates can help change your mind. Listen to their dreams, dealbreakers, what turns them on, and what doesn't. Don't let your fear win over meeting your potential partner. ✔️ Practice detachment. Letting go of expectations can help you be more vulnerable and cushion the pain during rejections. Be open to whatever can happen. You may meet a new best friend or someone that can benefit from your knowledge or support. ———————————————————————————————— Paul Aaron Travis's commitment to making dating joyful, respectful, expansive, and consensual comes from extensive training in interpersonal relations - from Nonviolent Communication to the Wheel of Consent, from Landmark Education to Human Awareness International, from Body Electric to ISTA/Tantra. For years, Paul co-facilitated the Seattle Men's Wisdom Council, working with hundreds of men every month. In the years since his divorce, he has dated 100 women – mostly first dates which didn't yield sufficient chemistry to continue yet helped him create the technique he now teaches that manifested three wonderful, multi-year relationships.

Most couples get stuck in a comfortable routine and eventually stop growing together. If you're not growing together, you're going to be growing apart. And that's not great for your relationship. Today, I'll be talking about how growth can help your relationship flourish and how to weave growth more effectively into the fabric of your partnership. Tune in to this episode: Ending Relationship Boredom. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Pursue self-growth. Examine how you're growing individually. Then, discuss how you can support each other in your growth. ✔️ Grow together as a couple. Find something new that you enjoy doing together and incorporate it into your relationship. This could be trying new things, such as a dance class or going on a vacation to a new location. ✔️ Have an honest conversation. What aspects of your relationship feel flat? Be self-responsible about it. Brainstorm ways to change it. Create an accountability structure and give yourselves time to shift the dynamic. ✔️ Free up some bandwidth. Life can get stressful. Hand off tasks that you can delegate. Spare some time to reconnect, even if it's just an hour a week. Your relationship needs time and attention. A small tweak can have a huge impact. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women transform the patterns that get in the way of having the loving, intimate, and connected relationships they've always wanted. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Emily Williams, success coach and I Heart My Life CEO, started out with zero business experience and a fear of discussing money. Working with a business coach helped her pick up strategies and mindset pieces to finally open herself up to financial abundance. “It's never about the money but the work it takes to get there,” she says. She shares her advice and expertise in letting go of our “money blocks” and how our attitude towards money can also affect our relationships. Tune in to this episode: Money Mindset and a Thriving Marriage with Emily Williams. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Achieve abundance in all areas. If you're feeling lack in one area, most likely, you have lack in other areas. Guess what, you CAN have it all. You just have to be willing to go through the learning process. Make sure to examine your whole life because your money mindset can also seep into your relationships. ✔️ Practice exquisite honesty. Be unapologetic about what you want and need with your partner. Sometimes, you have to choose yourself first to fill your cup and be a better participant in the relationship. Recognize and honor each other's differences. ✔️ Be an observer of your own mind. Release your ego and deliberately look into your own desires. What fears come up that are blocking you from getting what you want? Take your limiting beliefs and flip them into something positive. ✔️ Use comparison for good. Instead of feeling jealous of others who have what you want, use them as inspiration. If it's possible for them, you can do it too. Take clues from what they did so you can create the same results. Emily Williams is a money mindset expert, success coach, author, speaker, and CEO of both her lifestyle and media company, I Heart My Life, and her personal brand, where she helps executives and entrepreneurs break through their limiting beliefs and rewrite their money stories so that they can increase both their income and their impact, and feel more fulfilled and satisfied than they ever have before.

Recently, I wrote a manifesto with the prompt, “I believe…” I got to the essence of what I do and why accessing the potential of our relationships is so crucial. I'm sharing what I wrote so you can get to know me and what I'm about, AND to inspire you to write your own! Tune in to this episode: What Relationship Alchemy is Really About. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Write an “I believe” manifesto. Connect with yourself and write down your beliefs. Identify which are really yours and which ones you picked up from society and your environment. Having orienting principles gives you clarity and direction. ✔️ Love is at the core of the universe. Love isn't only meant to be given to others but also to ourselves in the form of awareness, boundaries, and knowing our own values.  ✔️ Shame is a growth killer. Joy and fulfillment don't come from building a more functional personality. They come from knowing your deep spiritual nature. Would you rather be comfortable or free? ✔️ The most important commitment in a relationship is supporting each other's growth. Transformation comes when you and your partner dedicate yourselves to your individual growth and supporting one another in that. ✔️ Love can be scary. But it's something that we truly want. If you're someone who deeply desires love and freedom, I'm here to serve you. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women transform the patterns that get in the way of having the loving, intimate, and connected relationships they've always wanted. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Spending “me time” is key in nourishing your connections – be it with your partner, family members, or even friends. If you don't take time for yourself, you're going to be bringing your raggedest self into your relationships. And we don't want to be projecting our frustrations on others, right? Taking time to recharge isn't selfish. It's a gracious act of filling yourself first so that you have enough to share. Tune in to this episode: Why "Me Time" Matters in Relationships. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ “Me time” teaches us and others how to love. Doing activities you enjoy tells you that your well-being deserves to be prioritized. It also shows others how you want to be loved. It's a form of boundary setting. ✔️ You have control over how much you give and when to replenish. You bring more energy when your cup is full. It's not their fault you feel exhausted. Resource yourself first then love from your saucer, the overflow from your cup. ✔️ Look for leaks and plug them. What activities drain you? See if you can hand them off. If not, reframe your mindset. Take a break and go back to it when you are more rested. ✔️ Rejuvenate. Three minutes a day of a grounding activity is enough. Fill yourself up before crossing off your to-do list. It's going to feel much better at the end of the day.  ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ THE RELATIONSHIP BREAKTHROUGH INTENSIVE ★ To learn more about the Relationship Breakthrough Intensive and book a Relationship Catalyst Call with Marie-Elizabeth, go to https://relationshipalchemy.com/rbi ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

What is the pleasure gap? It's the difference in the number of orgasms men and women have during intercourse – 96% for men and only 4% for heterosexual women. Society has discouraged women to explore themselves sexually, coupled with impossible body standards that have significantly affected body image and esteem. Entice Me Soirees Founder Tiffany Yelverton is here to help women reclaim their sexual power and take the shame out of self-pleasure. Tune in to this episode: Closing the Pleasure Gap with Tiffany Yelverton. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Self-pleasure is connected to self-love. “A touch stimulates oxytocin production, which is the culmination of an orgasm,” Tiffany Yelverton says. Touching oneself - sexually and non-sexually - can help women bring back their connection to their body. ✔️ Work together with your partner. So how do you start? Keep the lights on. Go for non-verbal communication. Talk about what turns you on. Do it on yourself. Try it on your partner. ✔️ Mind foreplay is key. Women need at least 24 minutes of foreplay to get aroused enough to get to orgasm. But they often only get 2-3 minutes of it — which is how long it takes men to get aroused. Blood flow to the genitals is arousal for men, while it starts in the brain for women. ✔️ Learning about pleasure is important. Going on an exploration of her body and discovering her first orgasm turned Tiffany Yelverton into the expert that she is today. “This is what we need to know because it affects relationships so much,” she says. ✔️ Pleasure opens your life to abundance. It's actually beneficial – for your career, confidence, and mental health. Some of Tiffany Yelverton's clients have had newfound assertiveness in asking for raises. Body dysmorphia lessens as you experience more orgasms. Getting into the habit of self-pleasure also decreases the risk of heart disease by 50%, helps fight depression, and stimulates collagen production. ✔️ Own your sexual power. Men masturbate 37% more than women due to the shame women carry about self-pleasure. Break the stigma, glow brighter, and reclaim your sexuality! ———————————————————————————————— Tiffany Alyse Yelverton is the founder and Chief Sexinista of Entice Me Soirees, Inc. and Sexy Survivors. She is a master at disarming sexual shame and normalizing conversations around sex and pleasure. Tiffany inspires women to love their bodies and experience the orgasms of their dreams to eradicate the gender pleasure gap. She makes it a sexier world with body-safe, non-toxic pleasure items, courses, coaching, and luxury retreats.

It's normal for us to get so lost in the constant hustle and grind of daily life that we forget to take care of ourselves. When our bodies are at a sub-optimal state, it seeps into every aspect of our lives. But it doesn't have to be that way. Change Guide for Growth Claire Jones is here to share with us the seven areas that we should focus on to be productive and effective in any task we take. Spoiler alert: It's all in our brains! Tune in to this episode: Seven Areas of Your Life to Prioritize for Optimal Performance with Claire Jones. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Connecting time is for our brain's need for social connection. It can't differentiate a broken heart from a broken leg. If you catch yourself doom-scrolling on social media, take a break. Call up a friend and meet! Your body will thank you for it. ✔️ Playtime releases happy hormones. It gives us a chance to experiment in non-threatening scenarios. Doodling and coloring can help us hone that imaginative and creative muscle and improve different skill sets. ✔️ Downtime brings innovation. Daydreaming allows us to tap into different areas of our brains simultaneously, causing new connections to form – extra helpful when we're dealing with complex problems. That's why all your best ideas are born in the shower. ✔️ Focus time leads to a flow state. This is where challenge and competence meet. Your brain thrives when you're completely engrossed in a single task. No more multi-tasking! ✔️ Time-in is meditation. This is when you use non-judgmental self-observation to achieve self-regulation. You can make better decisions because you've formed a solid foundation of awareness. ✔️ Physical time primes your brain for more learning. Incorporate any type of exercise within your week to achieve a clearer mind so you can seamlessly go through all your activities for the day. ———————————————————————————————— Claire Jones is the Change Guide for Growth who compassionately supports conscious visionaries as they navigate transitional spaces in their personal and professional lives with empowering rituals and elevated wellness practices. As a lifelong student of human behavior, she combines her certification in wellness coaching, certification in NeuroLeadership, BA in Art History, and a decade of trauma-informed therapy practices to help her clients achieve more in less time with less stress. So whether you're going through a divorce, changing careers, moving homes, hitting a milestone birthday, expanding a business, or any of the many transitions we experience every single day, she looks forward to being your trusted Sherpa.

My fiancé Patrick and I recently took a couple of weeks off to travel, enjoy one another, and see family and friends in different places. This experience reminded me about how important it is to take time and reenergize your connection with your partner, or loved ones in general, and to step out of the automation of day-to-day life. Today, I'll share with you my tips on how to go about a Relationship Reboot of your own! Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Be mindful yet spontaneous. Know how much rest you need. Go to that show you saw a flyer about. Eat at that restaurant that a friend recommended. Discover and enjoy things that light up your world. ✔️ Don't be a vacation martyr. Pay attention to how much rest and activity you and the other person like. Speak up about what you want to do at that moment. You can still have fun together while doing things on your own. ✔️ For a staycation, have a deliberate closing and reopening of your regular life. Signal your system that you're stepping out of your normal flow of life and into that special space. It can look like lighting a candle or shutting down your computer. ✔️ Create lists in advance. It can be a list of restaurants you've been meaning to try or something I call “a pleasure menu.” Preparation can be so freeing. Make informed decisions that spark joy, and don't default to what's quick or easy because it's likely not what you really want. ✔️ Ultimately, a Relationship Reboot is nourishment. Allow yourself to drop in and keep in touch with a deeper octave of yourself. Remember what you loved about your loved ones before you became cogs in the wheel of life.  ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

What is conscious love? For relationship coach Angela N. Holton, it's an inward journey of finding purpose and fulfillment and healing our core wounds to avoid projection on our partners. It all starts with looking at what hasn't worked in our past relationships and learning how to be more responsible to our loved ones. Tune in to this episode: Conscious Love and Dating with Angela N. Holton. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Don't blame dating apps. Show up with integrity. No more ghosting. More accountability. No more rude comments on people's appearance. More authenticity. More accountability. ✔️ Rejection is experience. It's nothing personal and is a way to get you one step closer to your person. Just lick your wounds, move on, and when the right one comes, they'll surely not pass you by. ✔️ Turn your suffering into art. Write in your journal. Do standup comedy. Sing songs. Pain and grief are energies – the more they get locked up, they build up and will explode in the ugliest ways. Let it go! ✔️ Become the mirror reflection of what you want. We all think about our ideal partners. So why not think about what they are looking for and embody it? ✔️ Find fulfillment in other aspects of your life. Dating isn't the end-all-be-all in life. Have you considered working out your career, hobbies, and connections with family and friends? ✔️ Dating and relationships are a journey within yourself. A whole heart isn't devoid of pain. It has integrated all its past mistakes and hurtful memories into its cracks and has learned to push aside its triggers and wounds.  ———————————————————————————————— Angela N. Holton was named by Yahoo! Finance, as one of their Top 10 Relationship Coaches in 2020.

Have you ever realized that your relationship is actually like a car? Maybe it's working well and just needs detailing... Or it could need a little tune-up like the clutch is sticking... Or does it need repair because something's actually not working... Or... MAYBE it's totally broken down and needs a tow to the shop? How do you know? Tune in to this episode: Relationship as a Vehicle — What Kind of Driver Are You? Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ The over-detailer. Just like how they keep their car super pristine, they constantly obsess over little things like their partner looking at them funny or their tone sounding different – looking for wrongs. Overidentifying with one's image can lead to this nitpicky attitude. ✔️ The most balanced. They keep their car clean, do checkups but don't fixate, and change the oil and tires, so nothing breaks. Regular maintenance helps relationships run better over time. This is the best stage for coaching.  ✔️ The tune-up. This person waits until the warning lights come on before they take action. They wait for things to feel flat before they decide to reconnect or choose to address the issue. ✔️ The repair person. They wait for something to actually break before moving. Red flags may appear, but they let them go in the moment and react only when things turn serious. At this point, you're in counseling. ✔️ The total breakdown. Completely ignoring all the signs causes the relationship to seize. They've missed the opportunities. It's past the point of counseling and has evolved into mediation, splitting assets, and separating for good. ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Today's topic came up for me because of something I hear all the time. “You have to love yourself before you can have a great relationship.” “I'm doing my work to love myself before I can attract the right person.” I want to challenge these beliefs and assumptions because these are rooted in some misconceptions. Tune in to this episode: The Common Mistake People Make Around Self-Love and Their Relationships. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Perfection holds us back. There's a prevailing idea that we have to be “perfect” before we can attract a great relationship. Our lives are a long journey of learning. And manifesting from “a good place” isn't as simple as 1-2-3. ✔️ Relationships challenge us. Some people thrive on being alone. But there are ways to expand through challenges that you'll only encounter when you're with another person. That's the beauty of relationships. ✔️ Do a daily act of self-love. A strong foundation of self-love allows you to ease up more in your relationships and provide space for yourself and others to be imperfect. ✔️ Get messy with people. There's nothing wrong with making mistakes when engaging with others – as long as you hold yourself responsible to clean up your messes. That's a true expression of self-love.   ✔️ Set a baseline to speak about your wants. Watch out for any signs of slipping into codependency or self-abandonment. Have the courage to set boundaries and work on things with your partner when situations upset you. ✔️Avoidance is perfectionism disguised as self-work. Enjoying your time being single isn't a bad thing. Your fear isn't keeping you from danger, but it IS holding you back from having new experiences and growing from them. ————————————   ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

For coach Wendy Sterling, divorce was “an opportunity for me to start understanding why I had fallen asleep at the wheel.” A Facebook post about life coaching sparked the inspired community that she has grown now – an atmosphere of empowerment, supporting others who have gone through the same struggles.

Tune in to this episode: The Alchemy of Divorce with Wendy Sterling. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Reclaim your identity and voice. Learn to distinguish what's important to you and what was important to who you thought you were in your marriage. Go back and identify your core values and your boundaries. ✔️ End the victim mindset. Have you been sending invitations to your pity party? Marriage is a 50/50 thing. One of the steps in overcoming the pain and coming out of it a better person is to take ownership of 100% of your choices. ✔️ Heal your wounds. It takes self-permission to acknowledge the pain, welcome it, and shift it into positivity. Give yourself the space to mourn and learn how to move through it.   ✔️ Take accountability and move into acceptance. Accountability means holding yourself to the fire that you're actually going to take action. Take responsibility for your past shortcomings, and commit to doing better. ✔️ Start building. Accept where your life is at now and grab the chance to do life differently. Design it the way you want it to be! After going from married to divorced 16-years later, Wendy Sterling helps women to see how their divorce can be the most empowering experience they go through.

Human connection specialist Mark Groves once said, “Walls keep people out. Boundaries teach people where the door is.” And as women, we've been taught to be flexible, malleable caretakers at a young age. Drawing up walls was our way of setting up boundaries — to survive and protect ourselves from certain situations. But keeping up those walls is pushing us away from that thriving life and flourishing relationship we desire. Take them down. Do the inner work. Stay open and strong. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Identify your boundaries. Shift your mindset and treat boundaries as invitations for other people to come and engage with you in your world. ✔️ Take down walls. We draw up walls to survive and protect ourselves from certain situations. But keeping the walls up hinders us from the life we desire. Do the inner work. Stay open and strong. ✔️ Clear boundaries mean self-respect. Saying a “yes” you didn't intend cuts through your integrity. Be direct and efficient in saying “yes” and “no” – the truest expression of self-love. ✔️ Boundaries need no explanation. Exercise that muscle to say “no.” Learn to sit with the urge to justify it. It doesn't require a laundry list of reasons to be valid. Nor does it need to be understood by others. ✔️ Develop a clear “no” for a trustworthy “yes”. It's hard for others to know how to act when they're with you without firm boundaries. We want our loved ones to be comfortable, and they want to engage with us the right way. ✔️ Boundaries give space for self-love. It's the fundamental expression of self-love. It's a way to show others how to win with you as a door, not a wall. And if someone can't meet you there, they're not your person. ✔️ Practice saying “yes” with more specificity. Just like ordering that perfect cup of coffee at a cafe, don't be afraid to say what you want. Apply this in every aspect of your life – meeting with friends, work, and even in the bedroom. You have full control of experiencing what feels good to you.  ————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world.   ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

What is an upper limit? Gay Hendricks defines it as the highest level of good and success your nervous system allows you to have in your life. Shaped by childhood and lifestyle, they are encoded into our systems and go off whenever we receive an amount of good that we aren't comfortable with. This innate “fear” mechanism holds us back from getting the best out of our relationships. Tune in to this episode: How Upper Limits Affect You In Your Relationships Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Get rid of limiting beliefs. It's been ingrained in us early on that we're fundamentally flawed, that when we experience green flags in our relationships, we're quick to doubt our worth and expect something to go wrong somehow. ✔️ Catch the upper limit. When you catch yourself saying lines like: “This is too good to be true.” “Why are good things happening to me? I don't deserve this.” “Something bad will eventually happen. I know it.” Take a step back, and embrace the flow of goodness by following two simple steps. ✔️ Upper limits can show in many ways. It can be when paying for a fancier hotel room, getting a better house, or experiencing a date that ticks all the qualities of your dream partner. Give yourself the permission to experience the best things in life. You are worth it! ✔️ Shift your thinking to appreciation. When the upper limit hits, quickly think of something you appreciate about your partner and something you've done recently that you're proud of. ✔️ Communicate your upper limits. Have a partner, friend, family member, or anyone you trust, and talk about it. It's best to have someone whom you can be accountable with. ✔️ Expand your limits to have more in life. Start developing that capacity to receive the best. Hone that inner voice to say, “I deserve to have all my goals and desires.” You have the strength and intelligence to reach your full potential. ————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

It's astonishing how so many high-achieving women have considered divorce at least once. Most have trouble believing that it's impossible to be in a great relationship while fulfilling their visionary life purpose. Thats where Teri Karjala comes in and instills in her amazing, hardworking clients that they CAN have both. And all it takes is a mindset shift.   Tune in to this episode: Mindset Reset 2.0 for Your Relationships with Teri Karjala   Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Recognize your innate abundance. We've been conditioned to operate in a state of scarcity. But that belief is absolutely false. The scarcity mindset only prevents us from welcoming prosperity into our work and relationships. ✔️ Teri Karjala describes that our brains operate in Newton's Third Law of Motion. Negative thoughts produce negative evidence, while positive thoughts find positive evidence. We possess control over our minds, and our feelings are a personal choice. ✔️ Keep the relationship playful. The fun doesn't have to stop after your partnership becomes official. Teri Karjala and her husband preserve the childlike goofiness by pulling silly pranks on each other - and even other people. ✔️ Protect your weekends like it's nobody's business. How can you be both a successful entrepreneur and a loving partner? By finding time. Commit to making more memories with your family by shutting out distractions. ✔️ Become a magnet and let things show up for you. Teri Karjala teaches us her two secrets to work-love balance: Incorporating energy to find easier methods and forming a team. Applying these can also prevent burnout. ✔️ Learn to work with your brain instead of fighting it. Ditch the affirmations! Use generative questions - prompts that require creativity and encourage you to take action. “Why is it so easy for me to attract a loving individual?” “I wonder what it'd take for me to generate amazing profits in my company.” “Spending more time with my family is so effortless, isn't it?” Your brain would then generate those reasons for you. And voila, you're now ready to take on the world. Teri Karjala, is a Transformational Life Strategist, the founder of Creative Counseling Center and Talking With Teri, best-selling author of Be The Magic of You: Tools to Transform Your Life with a foreword written by Jack Canfield. She is a Premier Success Coach with eWomen Network and a Coach with Forbes. She has been featured in many television, podcasts, and radio shows, including Hay House. Teri has combined her counseling background with energy psychology and applied the principles of quantum physics to transform people's lives by clearing the unconscious blocks that hold us back.

In 30 years of personal development work, I've noticed several deep truths about the process of growing in our relationships.  I'd like to share these truths with you today. Because here's the thing, when people are stressed or life feels nuts, it impacts our relationships.  Take a moment and ask yourself: “How present and aware can I be in life when it goes sideways?” Can I stay: Kind Generous Loving Present Give grace Can I ask for grace for my foibles?  Can I have wit and levity in the midst of life's shenanigans?  In this powerful Relationship Alchemy podcast, you will discover keys to responding to life with more presence and awareness. And (PHEW!) there's no mythical state of perfection that you have to get to to win. Tune in to this episode: Keys to Continuing To Grow in Your Relationships Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Unlock yourself from shame. Often, our desire to grow stems from a place of scarcity. We feel bad about something, thinking we need to fix it, but that's not the best starting point for growth. ✔️ Control your ego. The ego isn't bad and certainly doesn't need to be killed. It's more important to recognize when it's working for you and when it's working against you. Be aware when it's putting you in competition with your partner and blocking your growth. ✔️ Accept life's challenges. A problem-free relationship is a myth. Don't strive for perfection. Aim for presence and awareness instead.  Ask yourself how you can give love and grace, even in stressful situations. Can you stay level-headed in the midst of life's shenanigans? Being human means living a human life. The key lies in embracing and navigating imperfections. ✔️  Acceptance is the root of making new choices. Carl Jung said, “We can't change anything unless we accept it.” Be welcoming of your current self as you work on the areas you want to improve and grow. ✔️ The ego will try to co-opt your  growth. The point of pursuing growth isn't to put yourself on a higher moral ground than your partner. If your partner isn't also doing their inner work, you may start to feel that you've grown apart and your values don't align anymore, but it doesn't mean that you're better than them. ✔️ Success is gauged by your ability to handle issues. Growth isn't linear. It happens in more of a spiral. When old issues resurface, it isn't a sign of failure, it's a sign that you're ready to encounter and work through a deeper layer. ——————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps people create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Most partnerships sail smoothly in the aspects of love and building a healthy family. However, the topic of money has become taboo, striking an unhealed wound on both parties. Together with coach, author, and business strategist Leisa Peterson, we dissect our core beliefs in money management, the attraction to our “financial opposite”, and the right approach in initiating this tricky subject. Tune in to this episode: Relationships and Money with Leisa Peterson.   Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Cultivate mindful and intentional relationships with money. Leisa Peterson aims to discover the root cause of this disconnection with money and open people's eyes to the cycle of playing off of your partner's financial fears.   ✔️ Money habits are learned. Remember how your parents handled money? You may have unconsciously picked up their habits, or intentionally done the opposite after seeing the consequences.   ✔️ Establish safety in money conversations. Set some ground rules to maintain comfort in your dialogue. Go through these guide questions:   “What does money mean to you?” “How does money make you feel?” “What makes you feel good about having more money?” “What worries you about not having enough money?” Listen deeply. Compare notes. And see your partner through the lens of their money story. ✔️ Awareness is everything. Recognizing the sources of fears and tendencies slowly breaks down the problematic parts of your relationship. And those issues you thought would never be resolved are straightened out. ✔️ Your commitment should be stronger than the noise. Instead of Googling for solutions, work with an expert to finally escape the limbo. Also, team up with your partner in riding the waves of conflict and disagreement. ✔️ Be curious enough to explore newfound wisdom with your partner. As you've been enlightened, your partner may not be on the same wavelength. Don't clobber them with information. Approach discussions like gift-giving. Leisa Peterson, CFP® is on a mission to help 1,000,000 people elevate their financial consciousness. As a money coach, business consultant, and spiritual teacher, Leisa hosts the Mindful Millionaire podcast as well as virtual workshops and deep-dive retreats. Her masterful blend of sound financial strategy and mindfulness training helps people break free of patterns of lack, scarcity, and money fears, allowing them to finally lead the rewarding, fulfilling, and abundant lives they most desire. Leisa has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, FastCompany, Forbes, The Week, Huffington Post, and has been featured on many podcasts and radio shows. Prior to starting WealthClinic®, LLC, Leisa worked with some of the largest financial and business services companies in the world including Wells Fargo, State Farm Insurance, UNUM Life Insurance, New York Life, Federal Express, Pitney Bowes, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors. ——————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps people create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Owning your power isn't so much about your words or actions. It's also not about putting yourself above others. It's about your choices. It's about choosing day to day and moment by moment to make decisions that are aligned with who you want to be and how you want to show up. Knowing how to make an aligned choice helps you stay true to your authentic self and avoid the worst arguments. Tune in to this episode: Owning Your Power in Your Relationships. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️  Relationships are like a roller coaster filled with ups and downs. It's impossible to control every event but you can adjust your responses to the situation. In times of conflict and difficulty, ask yourself: “What quality will this help me develop?” “How could I benefit from this, even if it's terrible?” These are learning opportunities and a chance for you to strengthen your ability to make powerful choices in difficult circumstances. ✔️ Know when to flee. Are you in an unhealthy, toxic, or abusive relationship? Get to safety and seek appropriate support. In an adverse situation, know when to ask for help. ✔️ Forgive your past self. Let go of shame and move forward with what you know now. Carrying self-blame only locks in your old patterns. Show gratitude for the gift of choice and informed decision-making. ✔️ Your choices are more powerful than your circumstances. Sometimes, we blame our current situation for our awful decisions. But once we acknowledge our power, intelligence, and autonomy, no matter what's happening around us, we can unlock the secret to writing our own happy endings. ✔️ Tending to our nervous system is an important choice. Everything that happens before, during, and after a conflict is a choice. Letting your emotions ruin your whole day, not taking a break, keeping quiet when your heart wants to speak up - all of these things are up to you. ✔️ Find a small decision that aligns you with yourself. Is it stopping yourself from overeating? Catching your tongue before throwing out an insult? Deciding to walk outdoors to get some sunlight and fresh air? You have the capacity to show up differently in the world. ——————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps people create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Expert consultant and author Michelle Nedelec inspires people not only with her digital marketing know-how but also her experience in navigating through “polarizing” relationships. Her partner of 22 years is a techie introvert while she's a creative adventurer. They're complete opposites but Michelle says that their partnership gives her an opportunity to learn and improve every day.   Tune in to this episode: Opposites Attract with Michelle Nedelec Key points covered in this episode: ✔️  We choose our total opposites because of our desire for personal development. Michelle Nedelec points out that we select partners that tick us off in that sweet spot - that individual who can reveal to us the parts of ourselves to work on and allow us the space to mature. ✔️ Date someone who challenges you. Why did Michelle Nedelec choose her current partner? She yearned for a challenge, someone intelligent who can point out where she needs to grow. ✔️ Get off of the argument elevator. Instead of stacking up the frustration until the 23rd floor, separate yourselves. Take a time-out to self-reflect. Sometimes, it's a you-problem that you can't see until you recenter yourself. ✔️ Contribute to the world in your own special way. Michelle Nedelec's book, Business Ownership Mindset: The Ultimate Guide to Freedom teaches aspiring entrepreneurs to build companies that run without their effort. ✔️ Resetting yourself helps you respond and return with curiosity. Walk away for a while and recenter. You might realize that your buttons were pushed because you allowed yourself to be affected. You can then come back with fresh eyes and reconnect. ✔️ Find what enamored you about your partner and cherish it. The way they leave their used cups on the table, their inability to color-coordinate their clothes, or their off-key singing - whatever it may be, appreciate their quirks and remember to stay curious. Michelle Nedelec has over 20 years of experience in Executive Coaching, working with clients ranging from 8 figures to solopreneurs. Michelle runs the creative side of her Done For You services helping entrepreneurs set up and maintain their digital marketing through her company, Awareness Strategies at AwarenessStrategies.com.

Picture this: You and your partner are having fun. Suddenly, they say or do something that hits an old wound inside you. You get overwhelmed by emotion, and you either blurt out the nastiest things or immediately walk out. And that right there is when wreckage happens in relationships. So, how can we improve the situation? Use my proprietary four-step P.A.R.T. process: Pause, Ask, Request or Reframe, and Thank. Tune into this episode: Do Your P.A.R.T for More Connection Key points covered in this episode: ✔️  When you find yourself flooded with emotion in a conflict, pause. As our nervous system goes into fight-or-flight, the impulse to eviscerate the other with hurtful words comes from our “lizard brain” — our ancestral response to protect ourselves from danger. You have the power to bring yourself back to your conscious mind. Be the bigger person in the situation.   ✔️ Make a request for support. If the other did something that triggered you, make a clear request. First, say how their action made you feel. Then, if a change is needed, request what you want done differently, otherwise reframe your own thinking. ✔️ Show gratitude for the situation. Appreciate yourself for mustering the courage to pause, reground, and approach the situation in a positive light. Don't forget to thank your partner for their helpful response as well. ✔️ A time-out is for you to settle and tend to yourself. Ditch your revenge plan to get the upper hand. Do what you need to do to get back to your body and your center : journal, cry your heart out, scream into a pillow, sing your favorite song. Whatever it is, get yourself back to a more centered place.   ✔️ Reframe your thinking. Recognize the action that triggered your emotions. At first, you may think it's something that the other party should do differently. But sometimes, it can be a personal wound that only you can work on. ✔️ A deeper connection requires sharing childhood wounds. Cultivate a deep-rooted bond with your partner by allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Open up to each other about your hopes, fears, delights, and anxieties. Let them see and feel you. Don't be afraid to reveal the most tender parts of yourself. This can lead you in working together to have room for each other's feelings. ——————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps people create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

I've been working with Lisa Thomas as my energy healer for over a year. And she's amazing. As a transformational leader, she's made a big difference in my life as she empowers people to live authentically and in alignment with their soul's purpose. In this rare opportunity to access her brilliance, we unpack our collective past and inherited patterns and how epigenetics play in our ability to form flourishing connections. Tune in to this episode: How Your DNA and Epigenetics Impact Your Relationships with Lisa Thomas Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Recognize destructive patterns. Lisa Thomas explains the parenting styles exposed to us in our childhoods can greatly influence our decision-making in our adult relationships. We may unconsciously model a controlling father or an unaffectionate mother, but we have the power and capacity to hold ourselves accountable.   ✔️ Make space for mistakes. Breaking your back to please a partner can be a form of emotional manipulation. Dropping an “I love you” in the middle of an argument seems harmless from the outside, but it can actually be you policing your partner's intense feelings and slapping a band-aid on a deep wound. ✔️ Evaluate your next relationship. Moving from one failed relationship to another? Your new date may be a better version of your ex, but it could be the same bad habits in a prettier package. ✔️ It's your divine right to be in a harmonious relationship. After a string of broken relationships, we can develop a habit of self-blame and guilt. Remember, you're human, and life is full of change. Remember, you're human, and life is full of change. Forgive yourself for your past, and speak out when your partner doesn't fulfill your needs or negatively impacts you. ✔️ Improving your relationship begins with you. One hurdle in the relationship doesn't call for an immediate breakup. With the knowledge that your partner's flaws may be a result of their upbringing, step up and do little things to enhance your bond. ✔️ Fear creates a doomed relationship. Learning to let go of these worries is a long process, especially if our life experiences repeatedly showed us the worst. However, everybody can be empowered with their words. Say “no” to that fearful voice in your head. You're in charge. Lisa Thomas is a transformational leader, intuitive, and master energy healer who is dedicated to helping people reach their next level of success in business, mindset, and personal relationships, by breaking cycles of struggle, upper limiting beliefs, and negative patterns. She specializes in releasing inherited emotional DNA, such as fear of success, fear of failure, anxiety, procrastination, false money beliefs, and relationship drama. Lisa believes everyone deserves to be seen, known, and heard for who they are. Her expertise empowers people to live authentically and in alignment with their Soul's purpose.   Links:   Website: https://lisathomasenergyhealing.com Facebook: https://lisathomasenergyhealing.com/facebook  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/LisaThomasEnergyHealer/ YouTube: https://lisathomasenergyhealing.com/youtube Free Gift:   Believe in Miracles Audio https://lisathomasenergyhealing.com/miracles ——————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps people create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

If you're someone who gets fired up about serving people and creating ways to change the world for the better, you're a visionary. While you're out there giving your all to your projects and goals, you may also desire to have a deeply loving and connected relationship. But sometimes, it's extremely difficult to manage having both. I'm here to share with you my favorite tips to make it easier and function better as a visionary exploring the world of relationships through transitioning better between the two spaces.   Tune in to this episode: Relationships for Visionaries.   Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ You don't have to handle this alone.  Visionaries tend to have moments of isolation when they're innovating and immersing themselves in their creative process. You can work together as a team on how each of you can stay true to your individual identities while maintaining your intimate bond. ✔️ Create your own transitioning process. With some trial-and-error, you can get clear on which transition activities work best to open your energy and prepare you to reconnect with your loved ones — be it a guided meditation, taking a nap, or dancing to your favorite song. ✔️ Communicate with honesty and love. If the visionary partner is stuck in frustration, invite them into a conversation about how to support each other in improving the transition out of creative space and into relational space.   ✔️ Maintain a high level of creativity and inspiration. Rest and love are fuel for visionaries. But when they're occupied in their craft, they forget to fully unplug. Make sure to tend to your relationship to fill up and avoid creative burnout and conflict. ✔️ Be deliberate about your transitions. Visionaries may be unaware that they need to transition. Together, find ways to implement the process effectively and prioritize it. Something as simple as taking a walk can prevent petty quarrels and saying the wrong things out of irritation.   ✔️ Transitions create receptiveness and availability. Your body may be in the same room as your loved ones, but is your mind there? Handling transitions better teaches us to be responsible and present partners. It gives us the maturity to say, “I'll get back to you in 10 minutes when I'm in a better headspace.”    ————————————————————————————————   ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps people create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world.   ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Two-time TEDx speaker and underwater shark-photographer Marie-Elizabeth Mali joins the podcast to share the concept of relationship alchemy and give advice on dealing with grief, reclaiming self-acceptance, and opening oneself to accepting the purest love we deserve. Coaching has always been Marie-Elizabeth Mali's life purpose. Early on, she has already recognized her desire to “bring people out of their daily experience.” Tune in to this episode on Achieving Relationship Alchemy with Marie-Elizabeth Mali Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️Find purpose in the pain. Marie-Elizabeth Mali believes that we teach what we most need to learn; thus, she deep-dived into the world of relationships and sexuality to support people with similar struggles. ✔️ Allow grief to sink in. Marie-Elizabeth Mali assures us that allowing ourselves to be sad can actually accelerate the healing process. Taking your time to acknowledge your feelings can bring you to a better space mentally. Wait for your soul to give you that nudge of “Hey, it's time to get up!” and follow it.  ✔️ Cultivate self-acceptance. Change never happens in an atmosphere of shame. You're done crying, and now you'd like to be in a new relationship. Give yourself enough room to make mistakes and say the craziest things on dates, because it's part of your healing journey. ✔️ Alchemy is knowing how to turn conflict into relationship gold. In medieval times, alchemy was the science of turning lead into gold. Relationship gold is the ability to maintain the connection and deepen your intimacy with your partner - even in tough times. ✔️ Retrain your brain to look for green flags. The more you celebrate your wins, the more of that begins to happen. Going through an emotionally painful experience wires us to constantly watch out for red flags. But this anxiety-driven mindset blocks us from the best life experiences. ✔️ Navigating through relationships is lifelong research. Dating, meeting new people, and keeping a long-term partner isn't as easy as a walk in the park. Practice speaking up in real-time about your feelings so you can align your relationships to your purpose - be it to have children or experience comfort and affection.

Our guest for today's episode changed my life when he introduced us to our realtor in Mexico who helped us buy our beautiful home! I've met Daniel Mangena through my speaker coach, and since then, we've become friends. I'm excited to have him share his thoughts and advice on alignment, activating money DNA, and becoming a wealth magnet. Tune in to this episode: How To Establish an Abundant Relationship with Money with Daniel Mangena   Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Abundance is a natural state. Just like the ocean's vastness, abundance is an inherent state of being manifested in all living creatures and Earth's resources.  Once we acknowledge that it's always inside us, the constant chase can stop and our desires can start to flow more quickly into our lives.    ✔️ Stop meditating. Daniel Mangena explains the importance of alignment and how moving with intention turns on your money DNA, the quality that attracts wealth into your everyday life. Release those limiting beliefs and reach your higher self. ✔️ Accept without fear. When you experience an influx of wealth, accept and cherish it. Let go of anxious thoughts around it. You deserve the best in the world. ✔️ Push your edge, not your buttons. We sometimes forget that perfection is impossible, as it goes against the intricacies and nuances of the human experience. You're never going to get it right every time, or even every day. And as a human, that's OK. ✔️ Leverage your money DNA to reach your desires. Finding out your love language and implementing it for yourself through small, daily gestures — be it exercise or wearing new perfume — switches on your money DNA, putting you at a high vibrational frequency as you work. ✔️ Be responsible in how you respond to external things. What are some of your partner's quirks that you just can't stand? Their short temper or messiness may drive you nuts, but these habits may have been formed in their childhood and encoded in their subconscious, which makes it hard for them to stop doing them. Daniel Mangena is an International Speaker, Best-Selling Author, Broadcaster, and Coach. He is best known for his highly successful Micro2Millions program, being the author of Stepping Beyond Intention and his Do it With Dan and Beyond Success podcasts. He is completely self-made and has spent decades perfecting his world-class coaching methodology. His mission statement: “To spearhead an evolutionary uplift in universal consciousness, by awakening people to the importance of their unique role and enabling them to manifest their dream life.” Links: FB - https://www.facebook.com/thedreamerceo Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dreamerceo/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/dreamerceo CH- https://www.joinclubhouse.com/@dreamerceo Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMdAvGk6xa5fptmdULliJrg Twitter - https://twitter.com/dreamerCEO Free gift link: How To Be a Harmonious Money Magnet www.dreamwithdan.com/hmm   ——————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world.   ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Today, I'm interviewing Marie-Elizabeth Mali about how to improve our relationships - we're also interweaving two very important topics that are near and dear to our hearts - money and inheritances.  This is quite the combination of things to explore and it's like you get to eavesdrop into our girlfriend conversation.  Enjoy and I can't wait for you to get to know Marie Elizabeth.   She shares with us her insights:   When you start doing that it also positively impacts all the other areas; keeps you on the same team; it helps you feel better about yourself. You can indicate more lovingly and clearly because your needs are being met. You know, all those things, so they all interweave together and that's kind of the entire framework of what I call relationship alchemy, which is a deep magic.   Like we do not prioritize 'being' in this culture. We're a very 'doing' culture but everything you do and have in your life is a result of who you be. And, if you don't spend any time attending to who you be, you're going to burn out because you're going to be stuck in doing. And it's the shifting to bring in - who am I being right now? How do I want this to feel? You said it so beautifully - 'This doesn't feel good'. Pay attention to how it feels first and the results will flow so much more readily. And, I think that's the magic that you teach and in your domain of money and flow in that; and that's the magic that I teach in relationship.   And no matter what circumstance we find ourselves in, it's possible to look at the circumstance and this is how I usually like to say it is - 'What quality is this circumstance asking me to develop? What do I need more of in me, here?' So, if the circumstances is incredibly difficult and painful, and hard, maybe, what i'm needing to cultivate is tenacity; is vision; is courage to break the mold and do something different. Maybe it's a compassion. You know, if my circumstance was easier, so to speak out the starting gate as mine certainly was. You know, maybe the stance, the quality I'm being asked to develop is compassion; is understanding; is not being blind to what actually happens in the world. And also, not being so mired and guilt and shame that I can't do my part to make it better.   As a Relationship Alchemist, two-time TEDx Speaker, and host of the Relationship Alchemy podcast, Marie-Elizabeth Mali shows women leaders how to cultivate deeper love and connection in their relationships.

Today, I'll be talking about a concept that I've spoken about in my weekly live video, and I want to unpack it a bit more here. Even on ordinary days, when life is going well, I recommend applying slow practice and flow practice with your partner. I'll be sharing with you ways how to implement these practices in your daily life and why they matter - especially when times get tough. Tune in to this episode: The Key to Keeping Your Relationships Strong During Hard Times. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Do slow practice with yourself. It's impossible to pour from an empty cup. Take some me-time and do slow practice with yourself - meditate, get enough good sleep, eat cleanly, journal, read, move your body - not because you have to, but because it makes you feel good. And you feeling good makes everyone around you feel better. ✔️ What's a way to stitch your relationship together in tough times? Touching. Lots of it. Something simple as a warm hug while cooking in the kitchen or a quick kiss before leaving for work can make a huge difference. Keeping the physical connection alive between you guarantees that you and your partner stay on the same team. ✔️ Slow practice can also prepare us for the worst. It's easy to get stressed during high-pressure situations like travel planning, natural disasters, and sickness. To avoid this, work out in advance who's going to handle what. ✔️ Flow practice kicks in when you're in high gear. Being in a relationship isn't always rainbows and butterflies. The importance of being on the same team holds true when you and your partner encounter difficult situations, like moving out in a week, suddenly falling ill, or traveling together for the first time. No matter how stressful life gets, you and your partner can efficiently flow through it together when you've been consistent with slow practice. ✔️ Acknowledge blow-ups and disagreements and move on. The key is to face stuff head-on, clean it up, and let it go. When you're in a time where flow practice is required, that's OK. Don't force yourself to return to slow practice, as long as you do your best to slow down and recover between intense peak moments.  ✔️ Anchor yourself in appreciation for the good moments. Show appreciation for the little things that you get to do in your life - like sipping a hot cup of coffee, watching the sunset, or taking a walk - and watch your life improve.

Since meeting them for the first time at a conference, I've been inspired and blown away by Alex and Allyson Grey, the co-founders of the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM). That time was shortly after my father died, and the Greys immersed me in the most enlightening conversation about death. After that, a friendship was born. Having been closely involved in a small group that helped CoSM come to fruition, I've witnessed the depths of the creative partnership that Alex and Allyson possess. I wanted to bring them as an example of what's possible and what goes on behind the scenes in a relationship of creative life partners. Tune in to this episode: Sacred Partnership with Alex and Allyson Grey   Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ See through your partner's eyes. For 46 years, Alex and Allyson Grey have established the habit of working together in one studio. They have made it a point to collaborate and stay involved, even while pursuing their personal artistic endeavors. They believe that the process of creative and performative partnership allows couples to get insights into one's beloved's thoughts and preferences.   ✔️ Commitment is a transformative engine. It's the override program for couples seeking to endure the test of time while improving for the better. Self-awareness and reflection of one's past can lead you and your partner on a path to a healthier and deeper connection.   ✔️ The number of years you've dedicated to a relationship holds no water unless you strive for self-discovery. Every day you spend with your partner, continue to seek fresh methods in accessing their consciousness to learn more about them. Marie-Elizabeth Mali dissects the significance of visionary culture in the post-pandemic world.    ✔️ Our partner is our sacred mirror. As humans, we dislike our flaws being pointed out, and prefer hearing about our positive characteristics. For change and growth to occur, we should recognize the dreadful parts of ourselves. Having a partner that reflects both our beauty and shortcomings helps us become better people, even if it's uncomfortable.   ✔️ Have an aspect of your relationship that benefits the world. Co-founding the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors was a divine experience in Alex and Allyson Grey's relationship. They have deliberately chosen to create a place for religious gathering as an eternal service to their community – a meaningful contribution that they can leave behind for generations.   ✔️ Work in connection with your creative spirit. Religion ties us back to the divine and the core of our being. Whether you're an artist or someone wishing to play a positive part in this world, everyone is a medium of transmission of imaginative flow. When we make life-changing decisions, the universe or any other higher being we believe in expands and makes it possible for us. The art of Alex Grey represents realms of visionary consciousness, interweaving the anatomy of body and soul. In Grey's paintings, the light of spirit illuminates the core of each being, depicting psychedelic mystical experiences with artwork that has touched and inspired millions. Alex has authored five books, including three monographs, had countless exhibitions, and extensive reproductions and articles about his artwork. His speaking appearances, including a popular TED talk and his work with the rock band TOOL on three albums, including stage sets, animations, and Grammy award-winning album art have made Alex Grey a renowned figure in contemporary art. Allyson Grey is a painter and social sculptor. Allyson's paintings address an essentialized world view, the artist's interpretation of the realms of Chaos, Order, and Secret Writing. Chaos symbolizes the material world, a field of colored light made of particles and waves, cells and systems. Order represents the interconnected realm of pure spirit, a mandala of energy and light. Secret Writing scribes the untranslatable realm of creative expression. Educated at Tufts University (MFA), Allyson has long been an art educator, editor, art events creator, muse to artists, and the creative and life partner of the artist, Alex Grey since meeting in art school (1975). Together, the Greys co-founded the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, CoSM, a spiritual creative retreat center outside of New York City.   Follow Alex: https://www.alexgrey.com https://www.instagram.com/alexgreycosm https://www.facebook.com/alexgreycosm Follow Allyson:  https://www.allysongrey.com https://www.instagram.com/allysongreycosm https://www.facebook.com/allysongreycosm CoSM cosm.org   Livestreams https://www.cosm.org/live   Free Gift: CoSM Journal of Visionary Culture: Love - Free Download https://shop.cosm.org/products/cosm-journal-10?variant=33344745635939 ——————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

There are parallels between growing a relationship and a business. The way Sandra Yancey, CEO of eWomenNetwork, approaches business projects is applicable for your relationship - you want to plan, do and review big events. It takes some patience and a whole lot of listening. But it's going to be so worth it. In a matter of time, you'll be amazed at how much your relationship will flourish. Tune in to this episode: How to Keep Growing in Your Relationship with Marie-Elizabeth Mali. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ It's never too late to learn something new about your partner. Doing a review after an important date allows you to understand each other's preferences even more deeply - and strengthens the team you have built. ✔️ Whether it's after a vacation or Valentines' Day, asking the right questions can take you and your partner's experience to a whole new level. Got the table you wanted? Hated rushing out the door? Identify the best and worst parts of your plan so that each date becomes even better than the last one. ✔️ Take the time to articulate your preferences. Romantic dates can be hit or a miss. But with thorough planning and reviewing, you and your partner will discover each other's likes and dislikes. Experience the perfect date every single time. ✔️ Sometimes, it's the little things that matter the most. A hug, a question, or just being there can be a big deal to your partner. These are gestures we naturally do when we reach a deeper level of familiarity. ✔️ All improvements start with awareness. In just a 4-minute assessment, you'll be able to discover and focus your efforts on the things that matter in your relationship.

How is your relationship with food? Is it one full of deprivation and sacrifice? For personal chef and coach Angelique Santana, food that doesn't make you feel good is no good.    Tune in to this episode: The Alchemy of Food and Relationship  with Angelique Santana.   Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ There are no rules in food and love. Many people's relationship with food feels punitive and leaves them feeling guilty. It's a cyclical thought of "I know I shouldn't eat this, BUT..." Angelique Santana completely redefines that in her vegan cookbook "Food Is Love." She teaches how what you eat should bring love, joy, and ease to your life by customizing a plan designed for your unique needs.   ✔️ We express love through food to ourselves, our families, friends, and other people we care about. Experts believe that food is an additional love language that engages the senses and serves as a powerful connection builder.    ✔️ Angelique's journey and transformation inspire people and guide them toward a healthy lifestyle. Going on a plant-based diet helped her lose 25 pounds, which changed her overall lifestyle, and she became vegan. In 2014, she launched Eat With Angelique, a private chef service catering primarily to successful entrepreneurs looking for a way to fuel their bodies with the best ingredients possible.   ✔️ A healthy relationship with food begins with self-love. Taking care of our family and friends is a definite expression of love. Yet, when it comes to our relationship with ourselves, how come showing ourselves the same love becomes a lot harder for us? If we want to achieve wellness and be wise with our food choices, it starts from the willingness to put ourselves first.   Angelique Santana is the owner and founder of Eat With Angelique, the small business she launched with a singular mission in mind - to guide people toward a healthy lifestyle starting, but not ending, with the food they eat. Angelique is a speaker, a coach, an author, and a chef. After graduating from the College of NJ, Angelique spent 15 years in fitness working for industry leaders such as Bally Total Fitness and Equinox. In 2012, she earned her Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Halfway through the program, Angelique went vegan for 28 days and lost twenty-five pounds. This experience, combined with Angelique's newfound passion for preparing cooked and raw vegan meals inspired her to start her own business as a personal chef, transforming lives through food, one bite at a time.   Website: https://www.eatwithangelique.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/eatwithangelique Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eatwithangelique/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angeliquesantana/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EatWithAngelque Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/eatwithangelque Get This Free GIFT: Vegan Crab Cakes Recipe (as the below link) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GwWkoLGtBlepBt6hQ6P1cRLbx_LL-IlCFQ6S0tsJ3pc/edit   ———————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world.   ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Whether you're single or partnered, we all have expectations that arise on days like February 14 when there's a lot of pressure for it to go a certain way. Why not make this year different and permit yourself to plan for your own special surprise! This Valentine's day, ask directly for the experience you want to have and find yourself having way more fun. Tune in to this episode: The #1 Key To Having a Happy Valentine's Day with Marie-Elizabeth Mali. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ This Valentine's, resolve to be more deliberate about creating the experience your heart desires. Whether you are single or in a relationship, don't be passive and complain when you don't have the perfect day you want.  Suppose there's a restaurant you want to go to, an activity you want to try, or you want your partner to do a particular thing in the house — tell your partner because they can't read your mind. If you're single and want to go out and have a Friendsgiving evening, ask directly. Set it up. And then you get to have the experience you enjoy.  ✔️ Manage your expectations. Doing so doesn't mean diminishing them so that you don't get disappointed. The point is that you can participate and co-create the day you want to happen with the people you want to spend the day with.  Invite them to surprise you and be explicit about what you want, set up the day together as a team, and then truly be open and receptive to that surprise. Make that a practice. Whatever the results are, enjoy the experience and appreciate the effort that people you love tried to give you a good time.  ✔️ Notice the little things that please you and appreciate the efforts that your loved ones show you. Begin amassing evidence that you're loved and supported, that life is for you, and that good things happen. Write down three to five appreciations a day, knowing that you are training your brain and vision to see what is working, acknowledge the good, appreciate and remember it, and have it in your arsenal when your mind forgets.   ————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world.   ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

It takes a unique mindset and heart to build a company with a partner who is your lover and business partner at the same time. CEO Marisa Murgatroyd is a testament that it doesn't need to be hard or complicated to live, work and run a seven-figure business with your spouse.  Tune in to this episode: The Alchemy of Running an Empire with Your Spouse with Marisa Murgatroyd. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Marisa shares how she and her husband Murray have a unique way of running things. "We're so passionate about what we do in our work, in our business that we do talk about ideas and business and creativity a lot. We've experimented with boundaries, but because we're such hardcore entrepreneurs running multiple businesses serving thousands of people, in some ways, it feels a little inauthentic to NOT talk about business. As perceivers in personality, Pisces, and free spirits, we are in the flow of our creativity all the time. We also just kind of talk about everything."  ✔️ Respect each other's rhythms. For Marisa, her mornings are her time to create. "I like to wake up and just be in my creative zone, and I don't talk to anyone for a while. I need to be alone in my zone, and my husband gets it."    ✔️ Squeeze in moments in the daily grind and make sure to give enough attention and energy to each other. The couple commits to taking walks during mornings and afternoons to breathe, connect, eat together, and watch a film to look forward to at night.  ✔️  Those sweet little moments make such a difference for our partners rather than the grand gestures. Some relationships end up being off in their different worlds and expect the vacation to bring them together. Without those daily stitching of moments, a bigger gap will need to be crossed in the future. ✔️ Being in a business and a relationship are the biggest self-development paths that exist. For Marisa, running companies and building a legacy with her spouse is the best experience to learn, grow, and evolve together.   Marisa Murgatroyd is the founder of Live Your Message, where she turns entrepreneurs into Online Superheroes. At 4'11 and a quarter, she's called the shortest woman in marketing — and that doesn't stop her from having huge ideas. She's the "go to" brand builder for industry luminaries and heavyweights such as Justin Livingston, Callan Rush, Danny Iny, Alexis Neely and Susan Peirce Thompson. Marisa helps entrepreneurs create a business that is authentic and aligned with who they are, to empower them to turn up the dial on their "inner superhero", so they can be the superhero to their tribe, as well as in their own lives.

"We're the same team here." This saying is an excellent reminder for many spouses and partners inside a relationship. We tend to forget that we're in this life together, especially when we have intense and complex disagreements.  In this special episode, I invited my partner Patrick Price to break down how the idea of being on the "same team" has transformed how we navigate disagreements and big decisions in our relationship. You may have heard me referring to this in Episode 2 on the "5 Habits To Strengthen Your Relationship" and in Episode 13 on "Your Influential Voice at Work and Home with Tricia Brouk." Let's deep dive into this powerful mindset in this new episode of Relationship Alchemy —Being on the Same Team in Your Relationship. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ We were working with a couples' coach in 2018 who introduced this idea to us that changed the dynamics of my relationship with my partner. It's a constant reminder that we belong on the same team as a couple. Many people didn't grow up believing such. When we disagree about something, we try to fight to the death to win and argue to be heard. ✔️ Couples that forget they're on the same team can't move forward. Do you have fights wherein you're like two boxers coming at each other inside the ring, trying to beat the other one to win? Patrick talks about people missing out on synergy and cohesion and reminding us that as partners, you should be helping each other out instead, like a basketball or football team. ✔️ The best recommendation for couples: give your team a NAME. Why? This helps disrupt your current argumentative patterns and even can help them be playful fights. ✔️  Our genius is separate and can do lots, but we can do a magnitude more together. We often find a better solution when we work together rather than in opposition.  ————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT ★ The relationship you desire is possible!

Every time you speak to your children across the dining room, have a conversation with your partner in the bedroom, talk with your team across the boardroom, or stand on a stage and communicate to an audience of 5,000 people, all of these circumstances and environments are equally important.  Award-winning director and writer Tricia Brouk emphasizes that every interaction with other people is an opportunity to effectively communicate using your voice and make someone feel heard and seen to elevate them in the world.  Tune in to this new episode of Relationship Alchemy — Your Influential Voice at Work and Home with Tricia Brouk. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Being in a relationship takes practice. Whether we accept it or not, it can take a lifetime to master our relationships. Can you actually rehearse for marriage? Tricia points out that you can definitely practice the art of communication with your partner or spouse. There are many ways to hone the skill of being in a relationship.  ✔️ Strengthen your relationship with your spouse or partner by trying this phenomenal tip Tricia calls "Threes". Implement this with your partner; take turns asking these questions and giving answers.  -What do you appreciate about yourself?  -What are you grateful for?  -What do you love about me?  ✔️ As a seven-figure business owner, director, and writer Tricia Brouk's main priority is an amazing and thriving marriage. I commend her because not everybody can value both those things at the same time. Tricia shares, "my marriage is my most successful production." How do you ensure that you and your spouse are on the same team as you grow in your individual careers?  ✔️ The truth is that your voice matters, and it's your responsibility to start using it.  The amazing, multidimensional parts of who you are give you the space to integrate your uniqueness and be the instrument of a unique message that people need to hear. Tricia Brouk is an international award-winning director. She founded The Big Talk Academy and was the executive producer of TEDxLincolnSquare.

What is authenticity? It's become this license for many of us to throw all our unmediated stuff at people and be like, "Well, that's my authenticity!" It's become an excuse for absolving ourselves of responsibility of working with what's genuinely coming up within us.  To me, being authentic is more about sharing your truth and having the courage to reveal your tender places— your joy, pain, desires, curiosities, fears and the full range of feelings you may have. Tune in and learn more about Being Authentic in Your Relationships with Marie-Elizabeth Mali. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ You and your habitual reactions. Notice your first reaction to a trigger, a happening or an event. It's likely coming out of the past. It's a conditioned response that you've adopted since you were young, and your brain automatically responds to that stimulus in that way. You can't truly be authentic until you start getting to know who that real you is beyond who you've been taught to be. ✔️ Being authentic with others. Authenticity doesn't include control. Authenticity is just realness. It's not about the other person, getting them to change, or about making them wrong. It's about letting people see and feel the real you so that you can mutually decide if you want to keep engaging with one another or if you're not a good fit.  ✔️ You and your assumptions. Your assumptions about yourself that came out of traumatic or difficult experiences are not the truth of who you are. They come out of learned survival behaviors and fears around being unlovable or unworthy. It's never too late to get to know who you truly are beyond those assumptions. Get to know yourself better because who you are is WAY more than what happened to you. ✔️ You and your joys. Allow yourself to be seen in your delight when someone excites you and makes you happy. Notice: do you put a lid on your delight because you don't want to seem too eager or too easily pleased? Being an easily pleased woman is an incredibly attractive quality. Don't allow others to tone down your joy.  ————————————————————————————— ★★★ About Marie-Elizabeth Mali ★★★ Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. ★ FREE RESOURCE ★ 3 Secrets To Having More Love and Connection In Your Relationships: http://relationshipalchemy.con/gift ★ RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY FREE FACEBOOK GROUP (FOR WOMEN) ★ Join for more tips, Q&A, connection, and community: https://facebook.com/groups/relationshipalchemyfree   ★ COACHING ★ Want to work with Marie-Elizabeth to have a relationship and life that truly lights you up?
