Meeting a new dating partner can be quite the roller coaster ride of emotions! You get the thrill of the first connection, the anticipation of the first date, and (if all goes well) the excitement of the “Wow, I’m actually in a relationship” stage. But you also might worry about whether or not you and your partner are on the same page or if the relationship is truly going anywhere. So how do you stay grounded and calm throughout this process? Today, I’m kicking off a three-part series to hopefully help you remain free from fear and anxiety as much as humanly possible when it comes to dating someone new. 2:34 - The #1 mistake I see clients make during the early stages of dating 4:15 - Getting a better understanding of the concepts of rejection and fear 9:13 - How fear influences what you do (or don’t) in your love life 14:49 - Fear-based actions vs. intuitive-based actions 19:21 - What intuitive-based decisions allow you to do about rejection 22:43 - A preview of part two of this series and my upcoming workshop I hope you enjoyed this episode!

Beating yourself up for reaching out to the ex you just can’t seem to quit? I can’t count how often I’ve had these kinds of conversations with clients! Today, I talk with my former client M who’s frustrated with herself because she recently reengaged with an ex of hers. And it isn’t the first time she’s done it either, but she knows it’s not good for her and wants to move on completely. The truth is that there’s a real emotional need underneath actions like this. And addressing that provides the best way for M to reach her ultimate goal: releasing this person from her life. So what is going on underneath, and what can she do? Tune in to find out and if you can relate to her (whether you’ve sought out a former partner for the first or the millionth time), I hope this episode gives you permission to be kind to yourself. 1:56 - The connection between food and reaching out to your ex 7:15 - M reveals the crux of her situation 13:03 - Going back to see where M’s feeling of invalidation comes from 18:51 - What keeps M stuck in this cycle 23:14 - Why trying to use willpower ultimately doesn’t work and what I recommend M do instead 28:48 - The one thing M might still want to explore 30:36 - Suggestions for cutting cords keeping you plugged in emotionally to things you want to release 34:32 - The key to not letting your action have power over you 39:25 - Re-emphasizing the main points of this coaching call with M 42:54 - Something I didn’t talk about with M that’s worth mentioning I hope you enjoyed this episode!

Choosing dating partners based on compatible zodiac signs is a thing. You’ve probably tried it yourself or seen others with dating profiles specifically requesting partners of certain signs. But contrary to what’s often depicted in the media, astrology isn’t about controlling your fate. It’s not about saying, for example, that you as a Gemini need to date an Aries. In today’s show, I’ve invited my friend and astrology expert Veronica Perretti back to the show to talk about astrology! This time we discuss the real truth behind astrology, how the main three signs form the basis of who we are, and how best to use it to figure out romantic compatibility. 9:48 - Using astrology, for this reason, keeps some people trapped in cycles 14:14 - How checking your astrology resembles keeping tabs on the weather 21:04 - Why astrology actually can be a little predictive sometimes 26:35 - How the big three signs in astrology (sun, moon, and rising) help form your personality 37:17 - How to know if you’re romantically compatible with another person 46:31 - Simplifying astrological compatibility to the most basic level 53:49 - What you need to know about the coming Mars retrograde if you’re a Gemini I hope you enjoyed this episode!
