Play in a new window Download Show Summary: Today we are going to talk about being the higher-desire partner in your marriage.  In Episode 34 we discussed sex and intimacy coming more from the lower-desire partner perspective.  I believe that it is so important for each one of us to cultivate that connection and desire for ourselves within our marriage and I go a lot more in depth on that in Episode 34.   Higher Desire Partners   So today I wanted to address the opposite - what if you are the higher desire partner in your marriage?  Today we are going be focusing again on the higher desire partner for sex and intimacy, but there is usually a higher desire partner in a lot of aspects of marriage, not just sex.  If a partner desires something more than another partner then they are the higher desire partner.   Right now

Play in a new window Download Show Summary: Let’s talk about our brain a little bit. If you’ve listened to other episodes, these concepts will be familiar to you, but let’s just talk about them again. Our brain is constantly taking in information. Dr. Joseph Dispenza says that the brain processes 400 Billion bits of information a second. Isn’t that incredible? 400 Billion! But then it has to sort through all of that information for what is RELEVANT for us. (http://www.basicknowledge101.com/subjects/brain.html) Our brain is constantly looking for evidence to prove what we think about something or someone is right. Our brains love to be right. They would rather be right about something, that to have to expend the energy to try and think differently. So our brai

Often we react to situations in a split second.  We are not even conscious of the thoughts that drive our feelings and actions and we react to a situation poorly.  In this episode, you will learn how to respond to a situation instead of reacting to get better results in your life.     Play In A New Window Download   . . Show Notes: Reacting vs. Responding   Show Summary: Let’s talk about reacting vs. responding.  Some people use these words interchangeably, but I think there is a big difference between the two. Reaction A reaction happens in a split second.  It’s driven by an unconscious thought and it’s usually based on thoughts we tend to think over and over and over. Most often our reactions (since they come from not thoughts you aren’t thinking on purpose) don’t take into consideration the long term effects of what you do or say.  It might turn out okay, but often a reaction is something you regret later. Response A response on the other hand, usually comes more slowly.  A response usually comes from be

What do you do? In this podcast, we will address what judgment and criticism are, and what to do when you do feel you are being judged by others.   Play In A New Window Download     Show Summary: I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts the other day and the person being interviewed said her mom used to tell her when she felt she was being judged that “People don’t actually think about you as much as you think they do.”  Which is so true.  But…if you are feeling judged, this episode is for you.  So let’s get started.

Wanting validation from our spouse is pretty normal.  We want to feel loved, desired, and validated by the person we love most.   Why do we want that?  Why do we want anything? We want something because of how we think it will make us feel when we get it.  But feeling validated, worthy, and loved is available to you all the time without them ever having to say a word. When we understand who we are and our unchanging worth, needing outside validation is no longer something we need or crave.         Play In A New Window Download
