Just For Women

I really appreciate when listeners write in to share their stories or ask for guidance on particular situations regarding dating, relationships and sex. Therefore, I make a point to have those questions and concerns answered on the show.In this episode, it is me who offers insight to audience members on how to communicate truth with love using the "Acknowledgment Sandwich." This is a fantastic communication technique that allows you to be fully expressed or make requests while also honoring the person you are speaking to. Tune in and hear how it can work for you in your life!In the second segment I offer my insight to an audience member who asks for support in "how to transform resentment and anger." Here I offer a powerful tool you can use with another person to clear congested emotion called the "Withhold Session." When you do a Withhold Session, you allow yourself to blow off steam and get to the heart of what it is you want to say. Mostly our bottled up emotions are getting in the way of the love we desire to express. This technique will help you move through high emotion and get back to calm, centered, clarity.Stay tuned for more information on the launch of my internet product: Masterful Techniques for Fear and Anxiety Relief at www.masterfultechniques.com

In this part 2 series, I continue to answer questions from the audience. This interview is broken down into components parts to address a question from a listener who is curious about Responsibility and Fault.I make it clear that we are never responsible for anyone else's actions or behavior, but really can be responsible for what is arising in the relationship.We address issues such as:Do women drive men to do what they do?What is showing up in your space?How to heal from "energy leaks" in the relationship?I share what came out of a conversation with an ex-boyfriend who used porn to distract himself from facing emotional discomfort in the relationship.Tune in to hear what I share about his reasons for the porn use such as 1) Not wanting to feel emotional pain and 2) Defiance.

In this interview I focus on the importance of discovering our deepest truths as well as how to reveal them to others.I read a passage from David Deida's book Blue Truth where he describes how tormented, twisted and in suffering we can become when we lie to ourselves about what really makes our hearts light up.I offer a few techniques to support you in sharing your deepest truth from a calm, centered and loving place. Join me and David Deida on an inquiry of self revelation.Get your copy of this illuminating book today - http://bit.ly/3SOnnk

In PART ONE of this TWO PART series - I am VENTING! We all need a good vent every once and awhile - so I took the opportunity to vent as well as talk about some useful communication tools you can use when you really would rather someone fall off the face of the earth than have to deal with them. heehee.Did you know that 7% of what we people hear is content and 93% is how it is delivered? Think about that for a minute....Learn how you can use the "With hold Process" on your own instead of having a neutral friend help you. Sometimes it helps just to vent it out all on our own! In this interview I also talk about how to distinguish unconscious parts from your true essence. This kind of work is helpful in determining who is speaking in any given moment where you feel you are not coming from your heart and love.
