7 Steps to Spring Clean Your Beauty Routine Who doesn’t love a good clear out? Getting rid of things we no longer need, feeling brighter and lighter and just a bit more organised, saving time and money in the process - what’s not to like! What can seem like a chore can actually be a lot of fun, and I promise the end result will be worth it. I’ve just done done a big old clearout myself and thought I’d share with you the steps that made it easier and quicker overall to organise and declutter my own beauty and makeup collection. All it takes a is a little bit of planning. And you can use these easy steps to plan any kind of spring clean or clearout, anywhere in the home. A few key things to remember: It always gets worse before it gets better. Be prepared to be ruthless. A good principle is to take out anything you haven’t used in the last 3 - 6 months, chances are that isn’t going to change in the next six. Out of sight, out of mind. Anything you can’t see has the potential to still be there again in 6 months time Thank you for listening, I hope you feel inspired to do some decluttering and spring cleaning of your own. https://beautybyane.com https://instagram.com/beauty_by_ane

Guest interview with Billie Quinlan, CEO and Co-Founder of sexual well-being startup, The Ferly App - an audio guide to mindful sex. Also recently named Apple’s App of the week in the App store. Billie and her co-founder Anna Huslak want to radically transform the relationship you have with sex. They are on a mission to close the Pleasure Gap by improving health, confidence, and pleasure of women globally. In the process they have have been able to build an incredible community, over 30,000 women strong (and growing), called the Pleasure Pioneers. The Ferly App represents a safe space for women to explore their ever-evolving sexuality and in doing so improve their overall physical and mental well-being. In this episode Billie shares with us exactly what the Pleasure Gap really is and how they are working to close it; powerful messages around sexual self-care and how you can broaden and explore your ideas on your own sexuality and your relationship with sex. We also discuss the narratives in our own lives that are consciously and subconsciously driving our own sexuality, desires and experiences. Both Anna and Billie have experienced sexual assault and their own personal stories are very much a driving force behind breaking the taboos in talking about sex, reclaiming pleasure and having a confident, healthy and happy sex life - whatever your relationship status or sexual orientation.

Hi there, and welcome to today’s episode of the Glow Show - we are going to talk about 7 ways to deal with, and hopefully minimise stay-home stress, take care of ourselves and look after own mental health while we support our families and the people around us, even if it’s from a distance. When I thought about this topic originally it was actually going to be about the effects of stress on our skin specifically - and then ways to minimise stress and in the process also help our skin. What I didn’t know at the time of planning this topic, of course, was that we would soon find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic with the whole world fight against this invisible enemy, the corona virus. As I’m recording this we’re entering the 3rd week of lockdown here in the UK, and I’ve had plenty of time to reflect, and actually observe myself to see what really works and what doesn’t when it comes to dealing with my own mental & physical health - especially in a time of crisis. In this episode, we discuss… [3:23] Life During COVID-19 [12:46] Proactively and Intentionally Take Care of Yourself [16:43] The Importance of Exercise [20:55] Meditation [22:47] Breathe [24:08] Boundaries for your mind, heart and head space [28:28] Feeling the Way You Feel [36:07] Reach Out [38:39] Closing Thoughts Love, Ané https://beautybyane.com

In the episode I share my thoughts on a powerful tool that has made a real difference to my own relationships and marriage. It’s practical, it's simple - and you can easily start to implement it today.  The 5 Love Languages is a well known relationship tool that has helped singles and couples all over the world transform their relationships. It’s really applicable to any one of us, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re single, dating, in a relationship or marriage.  This can work for you too. Every single one of us, whether we’re single, dating or in a relationship or marriage - have a deep rooted emotional need to FEEL loved, to be heard and seen and understood - and that we belong - and we need to feel and experience these things in a way makes sense to us.  And then there is also the other side to this - while we all experience love in a certain way, we also have our own way of expressing it. How we show the people in our lives that we love them, that we hear and see them, understand them and that they belong.   In a nutshell we all have different ways of experiencing and expressing love.  BUT - if there is a mismatch between how we experience love and the way that our partner expresses their love for us this can create a real disconnect in our relationship, sometimes with devastating consequences.   This is exactly where the 5 Love Languages Tool comes in.  And I share with you 5 specific ways that knowing your own, and your partner's Love Languages can benefit and transform your relationships, as well as practical examples of how you can implement them for yourself.

Hi there and Welcome! Welcome to the new Glow Show - Your Go To For Grown Up Love and Glowing Skin - dedicated to help you transform your relationships and bringing you the most current and trusted beauty advice for glowing skin, inside and out. If you're a return listener you'll notice that things are looking a bit different - and I'm very excited to be sharing this new development with you. This episode is all about how and why I've decided to re-launch the previous podcast and what you can expect going forward. In the previous version of the show (The Ready for Love Podcast), we talked about love, dating, sex and relationships - and this is still one of my biggest passions and absolute favourite things to talk about. Alongside this I’ve also always had a bit of a private obsession with skincare (I’ll never forget my 13th birthday when my grandmother bought me my first set of skincare products to cleanse, tone and moisturise) - that sparked a lifelong love for trying new products and all things skin and beauty related. In 2018 I launched my own skincare brand called 'Ané Skincare and Beauty' and I felt it made sense to bring these two loves of mine together - and talk about it in one place. In a nutshell we’re STILL going to talk about how you can have the best relationships, and the best sex of your life, how you can heal the relationship with yourself if that is something you feel you struggle with sometimes - and we’re ALSO going to talk about skincare, beauty, products recommendations, routines, self care, wellness from the inside out. PLUS updates and developments in the skincare industry. As always it will be a mix between episodes by me - and then also interviews with my amazing line up of handpicked guests across the relationship, skincare, beauty and wellness industries. Stay tuned and come and join me! Thank you for listening. Love and Glow Always Ané https://aneauret.com https://beautybyane.com https://www.instagram.com/beauty_by_ane/

My special guest, Charly Lester is co-founder of the Lumen App and in this interview she tells us what Lumen is all about, what to expect from the app, how to use it and all the exciting future plans to help over 50s find love.

If you’d just come out of a long-term relationship and hadn’t been intimate since the dinosaurs walked the earth, how well would you cope with dating and having sex again? My special guest, Olivia Spring, who spent two years writing the novel during evenings and weekends whilst juggling her full-time job in PR, explains the inspiration behind the story: ‘I was inspired to write this novel after becoming newly single in my late thirties. It wasn’t just getting to grips with the whole dating scene, which had changed dramatically, that I found challenging, but also seeing how women of “a certain age” are often judged by society. ‘The Middle-Aged Virgin' is for any woman who has become newly single after a long relationship or divorce, women who have experienced the highs and lows of dating and dating apps, who haven’t had sex for a while, who’ve ever been asked: - why don’t you have kids? - when are you going to find a man? or - when are you going to get married? For anyone who would like to lose themselves in a fun, light-hearted rom-com featuring a smart protagonist and escape from real life for a few hours. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this story and hope everyone enjoys reading about Sophia’s journey as much as I loved writing it.’ On today’s episode, Olivia shares her own experiences and 3 important tips on how we can find new strength after a long term relationship breaking down, how to get 'out there' dating again, rediscover who we really and create a new path for the next chapter in our lives, single or not. Olivia's book is such a fun read, and super relatable! Go check it out x Love, Ané

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of toxic, destructive relationships that don’t work out, but just can’t figure out why it keeps happening? Are you terrified of being alone and find yourself compromising your boundaries and standards just to keep your partner happy? Maybe you’re terrified of rejection and accept the unacceptable in your relationship, always minimising your own needs and desires? Why do we do this? Why do we settle for relationships that are so destructive, even when we know it’s going to hurt us and cause us pain? And why is it that we then keep repeating these relationship dynamics, just with different people? Could it be that ‘relationship addiction’ is playing a role in your life? If any of this resonates with you then do tune into this episode with my special guest, Sherry Gaba. Sherry is a licensed psychotherapist and life coach who helps people cope with, and overcome lifelong addictions including substance abuse, shopping, gambling, food, sex and love, co-dependency, trauma, depression, anxiety, single parenting, and divorce. Sherry’s most recent book (which I highly recommend), The Marriage and Relationship Junkie: Kicking Your Obsession, is a best seller in both substance abuse and codependency. It focuses on how to break the cycle of marriage and relationship addiction and live and thrive on your own, or with a partner. It also explores on how to go through the grieving process for a relationship without falling apart, how to define healthy boundaries, how to recognise the right partner for you and steer clear of potentially toxic relationships.    Sherry shares her own deeply personal experiences of relationship addiction and how she’s overcome this very painful journey. She also shares with us the root causes of potential relationship addiction, how to identify whether this relates to you - and steps you can take to overcome this in your own life. Love, Ané https://aneauret.com

One of the key components in any relationship is actually about us being able to trust in our own intuition, our gut instinct, and to really trust and be able to listen to ourselves. My special guest is Jenna Birch, Co-founder and CEO of Plum, a new dating app that mixes accountability and smart matching for a better online dating experience. She is also the author of The Love Gap: A Radical Plan to Win in Life and Love, a guide for modern women navigating the new romantic landscape. A longtime journalist and columnist, her work appears frequently in print and online publications including Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Self, Teen Vogue, Marie Claire, Health, and Yahoo, among many others.

Are you looking to find a partner who listens to you, invests as much time and effort in the relationship as you, and most importantly, emotionally available to you? On today’s episode we have dating and empowerment coach, Orchid Tao. Orchid specializes in helping single women to date discerningly and demonstrate their worth, empowering them to attract the right, emotionally available man for them, who makes them feel safe, cherished and loved – without question. Listen in as we discover ways on how to attract emotionally available men, red flags to watch out for, and how self-worth plays a big role in the dynamics of your past and current relationships.

My special guest interview with Faye Hurley, Self Worth Coach for Business Women with Big Dreams. Faye shares with her personal story of overcoming a dysfunctional child hood and how her childhood experiences led her into toxic adult relationships that included physical abuse, divorce and being abandoned during pregnancy. She also shares with us some of her turning points and rock-bottom moments that became the foundation on which she rebuilt her own life in every way and restored her own self worth. So many have suffered (or still suffer) in silence behind closed doors - outwardly living confident, successful lives, and appearing to have everything 'together'. We'd never identify as with being a 'victim' and yet we're caught in toxic, destructive and often abusive relationships, patterns and habits that erode our self worth to the point that we don't have the strength to leave - until one day the pain simply becomes too great, and we realise there is something more out there. That turning is different for everyone, but it's only then that we can find the courage to start untangling ourselves and creating a new future, however painful this may be. Join us to hear 3 of the key steps that Faye took to finally heal from her traumatic past experiences, how she found healthy long term love and also built the business of her dreams.

What I want to talk to you today is a follow up on last week’s episode with Susan Quilliam where we talked about the three ways to choose the right partner. Susan had lots of practical examples and activities and questions you can ask yourself when figuring out if someone is right for you or not. I want to take that a little step further by sharing with you my talk at a speaking event last week. If you’ve had a number of “failed” relationships, or if you’ve just come out of a big breakup, stick around to learn • The 7 steps you can take to help you get closer to figuring out why things haven’t worked out for you up to now • Why you’ve been choosing the relationships you have, and • What you can do differently next time. A lot of this means taking the time and energy to invest in yourself and your dating journey. We all have different ways of processing this, but when I do something like this, it’s all about reflecting and meditating on it, and writing about it in my journal. I hope you can find some time to invest in yourself, and some inspiration and practical tips and things you can do that you can apply to your own journey. In the show notes I only shared the first three steps, so tune in to learn the last four. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. <3 I hope you enjoy this episode with us! And don't forget to let me know - what are your main takeaways from this discussion? Anything you'd like to add or share? Thank you for being here and for being part of my community. Much love Ané www.datingcoach.uk

Are you in the process of starting over after a breakup or divorce and thinking about what it is you're really looking for? Or are you actively looking for a new relationship? I am so passionate about the topic for today's interview - I can’t think of a more important decision that we make in our lives other than to figure out who to spend our lives with, and if we want a family, who we want to have children with. It's also a crucial decision if you already have children and you're looking for someone that will be joining your exciting family - and of course you'll be joining theirs. Our special guest for today is relationship coach and author of How to Choose a Partner, Susan Quilliam. Aside from authoring 22 books and serving as the Ambassador for Relate Cambridge, she also serves on the Sexuality Council of the Royal Society of Medicine, and is Patron of the Outsiders Charity advocating the relationship rights of less-abled people. Susan is passionate about helping people find, keep and enhance their intimate partnerships. In this episode, she shares with us three practical ways and questions you can ask yourself to help you in choosing the right partner for you. We also delve deep into how childhood, family and past relationships affect our current relationships, attachment styles, Lovemaps, physiological and intuitive attraction, and a lot more. I hope you enjoy this episode with us! And don't forget to let me know - what are your main takeaways from this discussion? Anything you'd like to add or share?

Are you finding yourself at a stage in your life where you may want to have a family of your own - but you haven’t yet met the right person for you, for whatever reason? Or do you really want to be in a committed relationship, but you’re feeling ambivalent about having children of your own, yet at the same time you feel as if you’re running out of time? Maybe you’ve invested years of your life in a long term relationship or marriage that didn’t work out - and in addition to that you’ve also progressing your career or building your business, but you’re feeling the pressure biologically because you know you have a certain window in which you’d ideally like to have children or be able to? Katherine Baldwin shares with us her deep transformational journey on how she navigated her own journey of being a high-achieving woman who found love aged 43, without having the children she thought she would have and how she processed her own ambivalence around having a family - to now being in a committed relationship with an emotionally healthy man and finally living her true purpose. Katherine’s story is full of poignant moments, life changing realisations and transitions that will inspire you to reflect on your own journey and experiences, and the choices and decision we all make at various stages in our lives about how we see ourselves, our place in the world, who we love and the future we imagine for ourselves. She shares with us how it took many years of to work through several layers and episodes of self harm and self sabotage to get to where she is today - there really are no short cuts or quick fixes for the deep inner work so many of us need to do in our own way, and to courageously get out of our own way so that we live the life we’re truly meant to live, with the person we’re truly meant to love. Including ourselves. Just some of what we discuss include Katherine coming face to face with her own fears about love intimacy and commitment, exploring her own ambivalence about having children, her journey in healing her own inner child and forgiving herself for the many choices made when she only did the best she could with the tools she had at the time - something we can all relate to. “I got the to the stage where I found the courage to find my courage”

“Love cannot be manufactured. It’s a gift that comes along when the time is right.” Jo Emerson This episode is for you if you're in the midst of going through those dark days after breakup or divorce - when you feel that the best of your love life may be behind you, that you may never love or find love again; if you're feeling stuck in a situation or relationship that you know in their soul is not serving you but just cannot find the courage to actually take the next step; or if you've been through some of the tough parts and are looking to get out there again, but you're feeling a bit overwhelmed or apprehensive about it all. This is a follow-up episode on the first podcast I did with Jo nearly two years ago (podcast nr. 3) When we spoke previously Jo shared with us her top tips and advice how to date confidently after a breakup or divorce - and she shared with us how she found her way back to a place of being happily single, as well as the biggest things she’s learnt about herself as she went through this process. Nearly two years on - and much has changed! Jo published her book 'Flying for Beginners' and also met her true soulmate Terry all within a short space of time during the autumn of 2016. In today's episode Jo talks to us about what it really took to get truly ready and why she believes Terry only came into her life when she was truly ready in herself. It's such an uplifting story of hope - staying true to yourself amongst all the ups and downs and keeping the faith against the odds. Jo Emerson is a leading Confidence Coach and Human Behaviour expert who specialises in helping people to unlock their potential by making authentic decisions based on who they really are rather than what they think they ‘should be’.  She works with individuals and corporate teams to build confidence , trust and a genuine sense of purpose.  She is the author of the acclaimed book Flying for Beginners - a proven system for lasting self-confidence and online course 5 Steps to Lasting Confidence.   See www.datingcoach.uk/podcast/48 for the show notes and contact details / links.

When is the right time to have sex? And is there a ‘right’ time? What would that mean for me, ‘us’ and our budding relationship? What about coming out of a long term relationship or marriage and the thought of getting naked again with someone new is frankly terrifying?   To help us ponder these very important questions I've invited my very special guest, Kate Taylor to come an talk to us. Kate is one of the most sought after, well known an experienced Dating, Relationship and Sex experts in the industry. She’s also the author of 5 internationally published books and have appeared on numerous TV and radio shows over the years. Kate’s experience ranges from being Match.com UK’s Relationship expert for 10 years, as well the incredibly popular Sex Columnist for GQ Magazine – where The “Sex Life” column she wrote was voted the Readers’ Favourite Page every year for 5 years in a row. She’s been The Sun’s dedicated Sex Writer, the online Love Expert for ITV’s Love Island, and the presenter of Channel 4’s Sex Tips For Girls. In 2017, Kaye was voted Dating Writer of the Year at the annual UK Dating Awards. ***Unless you’re seeking a no-strings-attached fling, Kate advocates sexual restraint for a period of time at least until a real emotional attachment is formed.    This is the premise for 'Not Tonight Mr. Right - Why Good Men Come to Girls Who Wait' - and that's exactly what we're talking about.  Some may say that this approach and advice is archaic, a form of 'manipulation' through withholding sex - and even disempowering to women.  Kate certainly experienced resistance and criticism, pushing back against the idea of 'waiting' and we delve into that deeper during our interview. Some of the key points we talk about: - Kate shares her personal experiences of how she discovered the impact of sex on the way her relationships developed over time - and how that led to her writing 'Not Tonight, Mr. Right' - Is it ‘wrong’ to not have sex during the early stages of dating these days?   What about ‘try before you buy?’ - Some of the main criticism and resistance against Kate’s views on waiting for a period of time before having sex in a relationship - What happens to us emotionally, and our bodies when we start having sex in a new relationship - can we separate our bodies and our hearts? - How to take control back in your dating life - How we can inadvertently start investing in a relationship that may actually not be real - The science and chemistry behind sexual connection and building attraction - the biological and hormonal reasons why sex is different for women - The role of Oxytocin — the 'Fatal Attraction hormone' — and how it can make women up to 8 times more emotionally attached after sex than men - The concept of ‘leaning back’ when dating and what that means - Kate shares her story of how she dated and found love again after her own divorce - and how her own advice impacted the relationship she has with her husband now - How to keep taking care of yourself even in a long term relationship / marriage  and much more! I hope you enjoy this conversation with us! If you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to get in touch - I love hearing from you.

In my own experience, and in my work with my clients I find that one of the biggest ways we break our hearts is our own expectations. One of the biggest causes of relationship and marriage breakdown is ‘expectation’ - or more accurately ‘unmet expectations’. One of the biggest causes of struggle in our lives is our (unmet) expectations - usually unfair expectations that we project onto others. When we believe people ‘should’ behave or act, or a situation in the life ‘should’ unfold as certain way we know that our expectations are at work. And the word ‘should’ is a very clear indication of that. Shakespeare said it so well when he said ‘Expectation is at the root of all heartache’. In this episode I explore - my own interpretation of what ‘expectations’ actually are - the difference between expectations, boundaries, deal breakers, standards, red flags in relationship - how expectations can show up in our lives, love and relationships Love, Ané ane@datingcoach.uk www.datingcoach.uk
