What The Heck Is Self-Love?

What The Heck Is Self-Love?

We've all heard that we need to love ourselves before we can love another person, but how do we do that? I read Dating and Relationship Coach Jonathon Aslay's book called "What The Heck Is Self-Love, Anyway?" and I thought that the concepts are simple but not easy...and the modern dating landscape is so fraught with challenges that it can seem like a pipe dream to maintain dignity in it.Jonathon says that dating reveals the most common emotional health challenges we face: it's hard to stay in the game if we don't have high amounts of self-worth, self-regard, and self-love. So I called Jonathon back on my show to pick his brain about how he uses self-love practices to help singles over 40 cut through the crap and find lasting love.Here's what we cover in our interview: How does Jonathon define self love and know if you are really loving yourself?What are the key mindsets that help us to have the ability to change old habits so we’re feeling more self-awareness, compassion, and love?Wha

How To Identify A Narcissist Early On

How To Identify A Narcissist Early On

Dating can be challenging enough without worrying if you're being love bombed, only to feel betrayed later. We’re not looking to diagnose anyone; but I've seen too many people get won over and then once they're attached, they realize that the other person lacks empathy and integrity. How can we identify these qualities in the beginning? In the latest episode of The Soul-Shaking Love Podcast, I brought back intuitive healer Mary Jo Cranmore to talk about how to identify a narcissist.Mary Jo used to attract Narcissists and as a result of her inner work, was able to identify and let go of narcissistic partners and patterns and learn how to identify the patterns that narcissists display so that she stopped getting stuck in toxic relationships herself.

Cultivating Inner Intimacy: Learn to Love and Accept Yourself

Cultivating Inner Intimacy: Learn to Love and Accept Yourself

You've probably heard the adage that until you love yourself, you can't fully love someone else either. I don't believe that fully, especially if, because of childhood programming, we find it easier to love others. But if that's the case, we usually feel insecure because there's no guarantee that others will give back to us what we offer to them. So it's important that we learn to love ourselves so that we feel truly fulfilled. But how do we learn to do this? In the latest episode of The Soul-Shaking Love Podcast, I interview Intimacy Coach Veronica Lynn Clark about how to cultivate inner intimacy; i.e. how to love and accept yourself fully. With nearly two decades in trauma recovery, addiction, and sexual healing, Veronica shares powerful insights and practical tools to help you reconnect with your inner essence, heal past wounds, and foster a deep sense of inner peace and fulfillment, which radiates out to connect with others.Veronica's Free Gift: https://veronicalynnclark.com/inner

How To Build Secure Love

How To Build Secure Love

Secure attachment is a buzz word in the relationship coaching world, but how do we create it? Why do some relationships fizzle out while others last a lifetime?

For the last decade, Dr. Salyer has helped singles and couples release old pain and learn the skills to create secure love. He explains that it's about learning how to slow down and attune to each other emotionally, not just jump into problem-solving before you feel like you're on the same team. In our in-depth interview, Gary shares: What are the feelings that any couple must make sure they experience with each other to make their love last?What builds or destroys trust?What is the importance of noticing the 'six second moments' in a relationship?

How Boundaries Bring You Closer to Love

How Boundaries Bring You Closer to Love

If you’re feeling burnt out, taken advantage of, or if your relationship isn’t working for you, boundaries and overcoming people pleasing tendencies might be the first place to look. Saying "yes" can become a habit and an act of selflessness, but if the other person isn’t doing the same for you, it leads to burnout, resentment, and losing yourself. In my latest interview with Trauma-Informed Life Coach Diana Mikas, she likens boundaries to a bridge that upholds your self-worth without compromising connections. A bridge that ensures your space is respected, valued, and harmonious. She invites us to cultivate a culture where saying "no" becomes an affirmation of freedom while each "yes" is a deliberate choice toward fulfillment and authenticity. In our interview, we cover: Why is it important to create boundaries and how do you know you need them? What are examples of healthy boundaries vs. unhealthy ones?How do you know when your boundaries have been crossed?Ho

How to Use Intuition to Attract Your Soulmate

How to Use Intuition to Attract Your Soulmate

Intuition is a widely-misunderstood phenomenon. Many people have had the experience of "knowing" something is about to happen without knowing how they know. Few people have been able to reliably count on their intuition to attract the things they want, like a true soul connection. I know I struggled to tell the difference between intuition and fear when I first started to access my own intuition. Mary Jo Cranmore is an intuitive healer who also struggled to hear her intuition before she learned how to heal her heart and reprogram the blocks that were preventing her to hear her own intuition; now she helps others access their intuition and attract what they desire and deserve. She has integrated many disciplines together into a coherent method of understanding deep-rooted patterns and truths that light up each seeker’s path forward.I recently interviewed Mary Jo for The Soul-Shaking Love Podcast about how to use intuition to attract your Soulmate. If you're in a relationship, this meth

How To Get Great Dating Outcomes in a Modern World

How To Get Great Dating Outcomes in a Modern World

Dating is now harder than ever before. With more personal and professional success, the expectations of a partner in a relationship have changed. How do we cut through the games and find real love? In the latest episode of The Soul-Shaking Love Podcast, I interview Glenn Sandifer, who spent 20 years in the corporate world before he discovered that the skills that create success in the business world tend to be incompatible with lasting love. After going through a challenging divorce and now enjoying a thriving marriage, Glenn developed the TMG Book Series, which helps singles dig deeper than their original expectations and discover what they actually desire from a long-term partnership, how to tell if the other person truly wants what you want, and how to do the inner/outer work to create both professional and relationship success. In our interview, we cover: -What are the common archetypes that exist in the dating world, of all genders, so we can recognize if people are playing games

Sacred Embodiment for Soulful Relationships

Sacred Embodiment for Soulful Relationships

As a young woman with a feminine energy, I struggled growing up in a world dominated by masculine energy, trying to understand why I couldn't hear my intuition or know what I desired. I was raised to follow my rational mind and make logical decisions, but I didn't know what I wanted in the first place.When I first met Elizabeth DiAlto in a training over a decade ago, I was immediately inspired by her bold, sensuous teachings about how women can move beyond the limits and stories of our minds and into our bodies to connect with the intuition and wisdom within. She moved with poise, grace, and a freedom that she called 'untamed:' the 'Wild Soul' Essence as it moves through us and as us.Known for her nuanced, inclusive, and humor-infused approach to spirituality and the healing arts, Elizabeth DiAlto is an Embodiment Specialist and a Spiritual Futurist.I recently interviewed Elizabeth for the Soul-Shaking-Love Podcast and in this interview, you'll discover: What is embodiment?

Do All Couples Fight? How To Resolve Conflict

Do All Couples Fight? How To Resolve Conflict

On the latest episode of the Soul-Shaking Love podcast, I interview Dr. Susan Heitler about whether all couples have conflicts. Indeed, all couples do have differences that lead to conflict. As John Gottman's research shows, all couples have unsolvable issues; the difference between happy couples and unhappy couples is how you fight, not whether you do. Couples whose love grows closer over time know how to create win/win solutions that leave them feeling like a team so that when they do compromise, it meets their deeper needs and both people feel closer. Dr. Susan Heitler is a Clinical Psychologist who has been helping couples create these win/win solutions for over 50 years. Her methods are simple and effective, and I interviewed her about how she does it.In our interview, she reveals:-What causes fights? -Is anger helpful? Hurtful? -What are the alternatives to fighting?

Can You Change Your Partner?

Can You Change Your Partner?

In the latest interview of the Soul-Shaking Love Podcast, I enterview Relationship Expert Emma Viglucci, LMFT and coach, about whether you can change your partner or not. ;) Most of us have at least one thing that we want to change about someone close to us. Whether we want more affection, more responsiveness, or more punctuality; if we're really honest, we would change something if we could. Most relationship experts say that you can only change yourself, not the other person. In general, this is true but in this interview, we explore what we can do to influence others. It's true that the shift needs to happen inside of us first in order to inspire another. And once we make those shifts, the other person is usually inspired to change in surprising ways!In this interview, we cover: -In what ways can you change others and in what ways can't you change them? -How do we get stuck in a rut trying to change others and what can we do instead? -What are the necessary inner shifts we can make

How To Get What We Need From Men With Alison Armstrong

How To Get What We Need From Men With Alison Armstrong

Alison Armstrong has been studying men since 1991: “To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best.” She discovered that by our nature, men and women have conflicting survival defenses that cause us to misunderstand each other and push each other away. When we understand these survival instincts and learn how to work with them instead of against them, men and women can live in harmony and in feel love for each other.In our interview, Alison explains how women feel safe when we're receiving attention and interest from a man; whereas men feel safe from being productive. The way women go about getting attention and interest from men usually makes him feel insecure about what he's trying to accomplish, and he feels disrespected. She explains how to harmonize this dynamic so we get our needs met rather than feeling frustrated or uncared-for. Alison Explains: -How do we disrespect men without realizing it? What do we do instead to inspire him
