If you’ve been following along, this month on The Stress Less Show, we’ve been exploring our basic needs, using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as our guide. We started by addressing our physiological needs. Then, onto our safety needs. Then, came our love and belonging needs…
So, what’s next? Well, I’m glad you asked! The answer is self-esteem…
How loved do you feel in your relationships? And I’m not just talking about your romantic ones. Cultivating a sense of love and belonging in our lives with the people we spend time with is a basic need. Humans are social creatures after all! This week, holistic psychotherapist, Laura Brown and I are diving deep into what it means to really build relationships that are healthy and open so that we can feel loved and secure with the people we care about.
Do you ever find yourself stuck in relationship deja vu? Time and time again finding yourself dating the same kind of people or having the same arguments and problems cropping up in your love life? I think most of us can or have related to that before! Creating a strong and healthy relationship is not easy work, as we’ve been talking about a lot this month. However, what we don’t often realize is that sometimes the best place to start that work lies deep within ourselves and our past. Love and relationship coach Jimmy Allen sat down with me to share his incredibly valuable story and experience in healing the roadblocks to love in his life and how to use our past experience as a starting point towards real growth and happiness in our relationships…
Ending a relationship in itself is difficult enough, but navigating a divorce, figuring out your finances, going through legal battles… it can get messy, scary, and downright exhausting fast! Dealing with a financially draining divorce is tough and I sat down this week with Catherine Shanahan and Karen Chellew of My Divorce Solution so they can give us some simple tips to approach a financially draining divorce from a place of strength and clarity, and start setting ourselves up for financial success…
Do you know what you need in your relationship? Are you getting it? Can you talk about it? Relationships can be beautiful things, but building strong, open, and supportive relationships takes some work! I sat down with Licensed Psychotherapist, Kira Yakubov to talk all things relationships so you can learn how to create healthy ones and how to maintain them through all the highs and the lows life throws at you…
After years of raising kids together, your relationship with your partner can go through ups, downs, and then some! But what about when the kids are all grown up and off to start their own lives as adults? Adjusting to life without the kids around can be a big challenge for a relationship. It can be downright scary even! But with a little patience and curiosity, it can also be an exciting time to reconnect with the person we fell in love with. I sat down with Life Coach, author, and host of In The Nest, Jodi Silverman, to discuss how we can rekindle our relationship with our partner and ourselves once the kids have left…
Relationships take work no matter what, but even in today’s well-connected world, long-distance relationships can take work and then some. Maintaining that sense of togetherness and love when a partner is away can be stressful at times and there are unique challenges that come with it. That is why I thought I’d sit down with psychologist and relationship coach, Kristina Reihl, to get her top tips on how to maintain a successful “together apart” relationship…
Criticism - it is one of the top killers of relationships everywhere. How many of us have stories of really horrible fights with partners because they criticized our work or we criticized the way they clean the bathroom. While it is important to express ourselves in a relationship, harsh criticism can really hurt and cause a major strain on our relationship. Since relationships are such a stressor for us women, I brought certified confidence and relationship coach, Alex Streisand, back on The Stress Less Show to talk all about this relationship killer…
It’s always about the little things. How many times have we come home from a long day at work or spent all day cleaning the house and taking the kids to and from school and playdates, just for our partners to barely bat an eye? A major breaking point in relationships often arises when we feel like our partner is taking us for granted and not appreciating our value. We want to be valued for the work and time we put into our responsibilities and relationships, yet so many of us aren’t getting that and we don’t know why. Since this month’s theme on The Stress Less Show is all about relationships - one of the top stressors in America for women - I brought on Certified Relationship and Confidence Coach, Alex Streisand, to talk all about appreciation in relationships…
I’m no relationship expert, but I’m willing to bet that money has probably broken up a lot more marriages and relationships than any of us would care to admit. No one likes having those money conversations, but when we are in a serious relationship, talking finances starts to become the giant green elephant in the room that we can’t keep avoiding. This month, our topic on The Stress Less Show is Relationships - one of the top stressors in America for women - and we really can’t talk about addressing stress in our relationships without talking about combining finances. So, this week, I brought financial expert, Kristy Runzer, to talk more about the process of addressing money in our relationships…
