It is almost March already!  I can’t believe how quickly time flies. Recently, I began to think about which of the amazing experts I have interviewed on my show have given me great guidance in the area of self motivation and understanding (and even dismantling) self-sabotage.  I came up with one of my favorite people - Debbie Ford - and her book The Right Questions.   I appreciate the fact that Debbie and I have done a few interviews over the years and that her information is always spot on.  Her work has the ability to go deep into the heart of our issues and help us discover what we might be missing about what is having us be stuck.
One Debbie Ford book I recommend you read is The Right Questions.  Reconnecting with this book helped me see that I one of the ways I deflect feeling what is going on with me is that I drink coffee.  Caffeine gives me this energetic (vibrational) charge that simulates the environment I grew up in as a child.  When I am feeling a little nervous or overwhelmed - my initial, unconscious reaction is to reach for even MORE of that unsettled energy because that is what my body is used to feeling.  Isn’t that wild?  It is not healthy and in the long term can have serious health effects but we aren’t really present to that when we are needing a “fix” are we?  : )
Stay tuned for more information on helping me kick my caffeine habit!  And in the meantime - check out Debbie Ford’s great book - The Right Questions and start your own inquiry to reveal what is really going on for you too!

I love when men want to share their insights with us on how to be a Modern Goddess. This is a very touchy subject for me and I maybe you too, so I take care to pick authors and experts whose hearts I can feel while they are delivering their content to us. I like Dr. Alex Benzer, with a BA from Harvard and a MD from UC San Diego, he has probably spent more time getting an education than he has spent doing anything else so I really wanted to hear what he has to us.

What I get is this: The whole world is changing rapidly. With the economy the way it is, now more than ever we need to practice mental clarity and stay focused on what we want versus what we don’t have or don’t want. This skill completely translates into intimate relationships.

Dr. Alex talks to us about his new book, The Tao of Dating for Women, The Smart Woman’s Guide to Embracing your Inner Goddess and Finding the Fulfillment you Deserve. We hear about “Bad Boys” and what we can expect from their behavior which might look like romance, spontaneity and love on the outside but could really be an indicator of serious trouble ahead.

We talk a lot about busting up fantasies about how life or our lovers should be. We discuss characteristics of the Modern Goddess and why men are aching for this type of woman in their lives. Of course it wouldn’t be a complete show if we didn’t talk about sex, so Dr. Alex tells us what men’s secret fears about sex are, as well as the importance of our own sexual know how in the bedroom. Tune in and turn on your awareness!

Hot Stuff.  Rick and I are completely blessed to be a part of the progressive and consciousness-focused Common Ground Magazine this month!  We are featured in the “People in your Neighborhood” section (of Bay Area magazines) offering what we do as a couple to have fun and keep the love alive in our relationship. We are so excited to share this news with you!
It is SUCH an honor to be a part of magazine that is dedicated to doing their part to help raise the consciousness of the planet.  From great yoga poses and healthy nutrition, to practical approaches to Going Green, Common Ground Magazine is THE Bay Area resource for people who desire to live a more conscious life. And so, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share my insight into how we can all be more sane, loving human beings this month!
We truly love coaching men and women on how to do the things that make their partners feel seen and heard so the love between them can grow.  In our work, we offer practical ideas like:

~ checking in with yourself to figure out what your truth is

~ being able to speak your truth to your partner

~ being able to hear your partners truth

~ learning to trust your intuition

~ learning the signs of relationship erosion and how to counteract them

~ practices to create heat and attraction
We realize that most everyone wants to have a vibrant relationship, yet we are so conditioned by past thoughts and behaviors about who we are and what we are “supposed to be, should do and ought to think” very often we lose sight of what is important and healthy for relationships to flourish. Some of us have never learned these skills and are at best floundering around in life hoping for some kind of epiphany.

Well, this is where we come in to help individuals and couples see what they haven’t seen before in themselves and in the relationship dynamic to cause major shifts in people’s lives.  Sound good?  Is this something you would be interested in having in your life?

As coaches, speakers and facilitators of programs designed to help people be more aware of their thoughts, actions and behaviors, we are always looking at new ways to connect with people to answer questions and offer new perspectives on relating and loving.

To that end, we are hosting a FREE Teleclass
