Andrea and Hannah dive headfirst into one of dating's most nerve-wracking moments for almost everyone: talking about sex with a new partner.

• How to navigate the discussion when one person talks about sex easily and the other person struggles

In this episode, I define boundaries as guidelines that help others understand how to interact with us, emphasizing that honoring our own needs is a sign of self-respect.

The fears and vulnerabilities associated with asserting boundaries are also explored, noting that well-practiced boundaries foster trust and deeper connections.

The episode continues with a guided meditation to help listeners feel and practice both internal and external boundaries, promoting self-care, self-respect, and healthier relationships.

During the practice, our listeners are guided to imagine a semi-permeable, golden shell surrounding them, symbolizing their boundaries.

This shell allows them to control what emotions or energies enter their space while also containing their own strong emotions until they are ready to process them.

From sex as performance to please you, to sex as transactional to placate you the trajectory that intimacy takes with a narcissist is similar to the one your intimate relationship as a whole will take. 

Michele shares insights about this trajectory including the dynamics of narcissistic relationships and the patterns of love bombing, devaluation, discard, and hoovering, and the impact on individuals involved.

She discusses childhood experiences that may lead to narcissistic behaviors and the importance of awareness, acceptance, consciousness, and choice in healing and personal growth.

Michele offers a 30-day awareness journal: https://findingparadise.gumroad.com/l/30-days-to-self-awareness

Society and culture tends to value more masculine or yang forms of expression such as efficiency, productivity and focus to name a few. And so many of us feel well in touch with this aspect of ourselves.

An over-emphasis on the masculine or yang, has lead to a de-valuing of the feminine or yin form of expression that is experienced as empathy, compassion, and collaboration, again to name only a few.

And so this practice encourages embracing the feminine so that we can reconnect with the part of ourselves that is a different kind of strength than that of the masculine. By doing so we come to a greater sense of wholeness and we feel more alive and complete as a result.

The practice, which takes the format of a meditation, involves envisioning oneself as a queen or goddess, defining her unique qualities, and then brining them into your day to day life by embodying them through the five senses.

In doing so, you’ll cultivate self-love, confidence, and a deeper understanding of your feminine side.

Inspired by life and leadership coach Tania Carriere, the practice involves recalling the feeling of stuckness, noticing the associated emotions and bodily sensations, and allowing the body to adopt a shape reflecting that stuckness.

Through deepening into this shape and then slowly unravelling, listeners can release tension and move towards a state of flow and ultimately pleasure.

Andrea guides listeners through the practice, encouraging them to reflect on their experience and connect with her for additional support if needed.

Join me and discover what it takes to create an exceptional relationship that endures. 

And what you can do to begin to live this kind of life in love.

I share a story about how one woman overcame her fear of intimacy and begin to date with confidence and joy – yes, even joy! – for the first time in her life. 

And you’ll be left with some questions to sit with about what it is that would keep you, in love.

I share a story on how I broke through the walls around my heart. And eventually found love after more than 15 years of being single. 

And you’ll be left with some questions that will prompt you to think differently about what might be keeping you from finding the love that you want. 

Why is love so hard to find? And once found so hard to keep? And once kept so hard to survive, never mind thrive in?

We might begin to ask ourselves if intimate relationships are even worth it. And then we remember what they promise. 

This series was originally created as a Masterclass for The Times and Sunday Times Life Lessons Festival in London, UK 2022.

This incredible woman has created a multi six figure business in the matter of a few years…AND she has found real raw love along the way. 

Neither journey has been without its challenges, but when you’re committed to a life of growth and evolution, Pandora proves you can ask for more – and get it. 

In this deeply personal and rich conversation, we explore everything from healing heartbreak and dropping more easily and naturally into greater intimacy and pleasure – and how getting fit and building power supports this journey. 

I love Julia’s ethos and her wisdom and am excited for you to listen. 

The good news is that there are a lot of options to consider to support female fertility, especially if you open up to the wisdom of complementary medicine. 

Naturopath and Medical Herbalist Inna Duckworth talks us through the full range of options available to understand and support your fertility, encompassing truly incredible advances in conventional medicine and then stretches far beyond, taking us back through 5,000 years of Chinese medicine and millennia of observational science. We explore the power of connecting with the healing spirit of plants and to the ancient practice of energetic healing. 

Join us in this exciting and empowering discussion on finding love and creating family a bit later on in life. You’ll leave inspired, as I did.

Thank you!

Perhaps you get to the point that Shani Silver, humor essayist and podcaster did: ‘I had been dating fruitlessly for a full decade and there came a moment of absolute exhaustion. And it wasn't just exhaustion with dating or exhaustion with searching for someone, it was exhaustion with the frustration around those activities. I was tired of being tired of being single. It was enough.’

So Shani changed her view on being single as something other than a problem to fix at any cost. 

She reframed the way she viewed and experienced her own singlehood, to increase her sense of self-worth and live her life at whole new levels of happiness, fulfilment and satisfaction. 

In this podcast Shani and I discuss her book, A Single Revolution’, which spoke to my heart as a long-term former single winab. And I am sure will speak to your heart too.  

Show notes:

How to reframe singlehood to increase your self worth

Understand how dating in its current form is serving you

And if not, what you can do instead

The shame of singlehood is damaging, especially to women 

Reframe your life so that you feel empowered

Jealousy is something that can be shed 

Fully embrace your own life and it’s unique timeline

See the gifts that come to you because of being single

Decide on who you want to be in the world and own it 

Accepting the fantastic, custom-designed life that is yours

Know that you are whole and complete right now

Don’t wait for a partner to live the life exactly the way you want to

Live life fully now – being happy is a present-time choice
