Show Notes

You don’t have a man problem in your love life; you have a self-concept problem that quietly shapes every relationship you choose.

I know you think you just haven’t met a man who can match you. A man secure enough to celebrate your success. But if you keep focusing on finding him, you will stay stuck in the same exhausting cycle. The common denominator in your dating history is you. That is not an insult. It is your power. If you believe the problem is the apps…or your city…or men who are intimidated by you, then you are helpless. If the patterns live within you, you can change them!

High-achieving women often dominate at work and doubt themselves in love. You accept crumbs. You wait to be chosen. You tell yourself stories about intimidated men while quietly abandoning your own standards. Protection becomes your strategy. And protection prevents connection.

Becoming “her” means healing your self-concept, trusting your worth, and developing real relationship skills. The kind of man you want has done his mirror work. When you do yours, you stop chasing love and start embodying it. And that changes everything.

In this episode, you’ll learn...

Episode Highlights:
  • Why blaming men and dating apps keeps you powerless
  • The hidden link between high achievement and low self-worth
  • How self-protection blocks intimacy and recreates rejection
  • What it actually means to “be her” in your love life
  • The relationship skills most successful women were never taught

1
00:00:00.285 –> 00:00:02.805
I know you think you just haven’t met the kind of man

2
00:00:02.825 –> 00:00:06.285
who is equally as successful as you, a man who is strong

3
00:00:06.345 –> 00:00:09.525
and secure enough to celebrate your success rather than

4
00:00:09.525 –> 00:00:10.885
being intimidated by it.

5
00:00:11.425 –> 00:00:14.405
But that is not the real problem, I promise you.

6
00:00:14.705 –> 00:00:17.645
And if you keep thinking that it is, you are only going

7
00:00:17.645 –> 00:00:20.125
to exhaust yourself trying to find him.

8
00:00:20.385 –> 00:00:23.725
So today I’m going to tell you what the real problem

9
00:00:24.325 –> 00:00:27.165
actually is, and it might sting just a little bit,

10
00:00:27.305 –> 00:00:28.925
but it’s exactly what you need to hear

11
00:00:28.925 –> 00:00:31.525
because once you understand this, you’ll be able

12
00:00:31.525 –> 00:00:33.005
to unlock the frustrating

13
00:00:33.005 –> 00:00:34.645
and confusing cycle of dating,

14
00:00:34.645 –> 00:00:36.565
disappointment and relationship.

15
00:00:36.745 –> 00:00:40.525
Let down and finally just attract, create,

16
00:00:40.945 –> 00:00:42.525
and keep the love that you want.

17
00:00:47.385 –> 00:00:48.885
If you’re new to me in this podcast

18
00:00:49.225 –> 00:00:50.645
or you just need to be reminded,

19
00:00:51.245 –> 00:00:53.565
I really am an authority in this space.

20
00:00:53.635 –> 00:00:55.925
I’ve been a therapist and a coach for 25 years.

21
00:00:56.525 –> 00:00:59.525
I started with a private practice for 14 years working

22
00:00:59.525 –> 00:01:02.285
with men, women, and couples on the toughest life

23
00:01:02.285 –> 00:01:05.565
and relationship issues, things like divorce, infidelity,

24
00:01:05.655 –> 00:01:08.645
addictions, narcissism, anxiety, you name it.

25
00:01:08.945 –> 00:01:11.485
I’m classically trained in almost all the clinical

26
00:01:11.485 –> 00:01:14.885
modalities, and I was even one of the very first few people

27
00:01:15.025 –> 00:01:18.805
to ever be certified in EMDR back in 2005.

28
00:01:18.955 –> 00:01:21.645
Over the years, I have spent tens of thousands

29
00:01:21.645 –> 00:01:22.925
of hours with clients.

30
00:01:23.305 –> 00:01:26.445
So I’m not just a content creator who posts videos

31
00:01:26.625 –> 00:01:29.365
and sells courses and has this podcast.

32
00:01:30.235 –> 00:01:32.285
I’ve actually been in the trenches, face

33
00:01:32.285 –> 00:01:35.845
to face sleeves rolled up, sharing tears with clients

34
00:01:35.905 –> 00:01:37.165
and remembering their names

35
00:01:37.225 –> 00:01:38.845
and their faces and their stories.

36
00:01:39.025 –> 00:01:40.405
And here’s what I know for sure.

37
00:01:40.985 –> 00:01:44.325
The women who take what I’m saying to heart, they win.

38
00:01:44.665 –> 00:01:46.245
By the way, here is something else

39
00:01:46.245 –> 00:01:47.725
that not many other people can say.

40
00:01:48.115 –> 00:01:52.405
I’ve been with my husband for 26 years, so I do know

41
00:01:52.835 –> 00:01:54.965
what it takes to make a relationship work.

42
00:01:55.225 –> 00:01:57.965
So please trust me when I say that asking,

43
00:01:58.455 –> 00:02:00.245
where are all the good quality men?

44
00:02:00.455 –> 00:02:01.685
Where do they hang out?

45
00:02:01.885 –> 00:02:03.725
I don’t even know where to meet good men.

46
00:02:04.265 –> 00:02:07.405
All of that is just misdirected time, energy, and focus.

47
00:02:07.405 –> 00:02:11.045
It is the wrong question. So listen to me right now.

48
00:02:11.505 –> 00:02:14.605
It is not about finding him my loves.

49
00:02:15.345 –> 00:02:19.085
It is about being her. So what do I mean by that?

50
00:02:19.645 –> 00:02:22.805
I mean, there is a very specific version of you

51
00:02:23.115 –> 00:02:25.085
that you need to be in order

52
00:02:25.085 –> 00:02:27.125
to be successful in your love life.

53
00:02:27.665 –> 00:02:31.565
She who is the version of you who is healed and healthy

54
00:02:32.065 –> 00:02:36.205
and whole and happy, all on her own, she loves

55
00:02:36.265 –> 00:02:38.165
and accepts herself unconditionally.

56
00:02:38.665 –> 00:02:41.245
She doesn’t doubt herself or question herself,

57
00:02:41.505 –> 00:02:44.805
but instead trusts herself completely in every way,

58
00:02:45.145 –> 00:02:48.965
to always be herself no matter what to do, what is best

59
00:02:48.965 –> 00:02:50.845
for her, even when it’s hard or scary.

60
00:02:51.465 –> 00:02:54.605
And she knows that she will always be okay no matter what.

61
00:02:54.675 –> 00:02:57.685
This is the version of you who knows without a doubt

62
00:02:57.755 –> 00:03:01.165
that she is worthy and capable of giving

63
00:03:01.385 –> 00:03:03.325
and receiving healthy love

64
00:03:03.385 –> 00:03:05.485
and will never, ever settle for less.

65
00:03:05.755 –> 00:03:09.605
That is what I mean when I say it is not about finding him,

66
00:03:10.155 –> 00:03:13.405
it’s about being her, being that version of you.

67
00:03:13.595 –> 00:03:15.445
Because I promise you, even if Mr.

68
00:03:15.445 –> 00:03:17.845
Wonderful came knocking on your door right now,

69
00:03:18.145 –> 00:03:19.805
you’re probably not ready for him.

70
00:03:20.025 –> 00:03:22.285
You might think that you are because you want it,

71
00:03:22.745 –> 00:03:25.685
but if your past is any indication of your present,

72
00:03:26.105 –> 00:03:27.925
you are likely to just continue your

73
00:03:27.985 –> 00:03:29.285
cycles and your patterns.

74
00:03:29.665 –> 00:03:32.685
So let’s get into the three steps to fully

75
00:03:33.405 –> 00:03:35.245
stepping into being her.

76
00:03:35.595 –> 00:03:38.245
Step number one is the edgiest thing that I’m going

77
00:03:38.245 –> 00:03:39.445
to say to you today.

78
00:03:39.465 –> 00:03:40.765
So put your seatbelt on.

79
00:03:41.225 –> 00:03:42.365
You need to accept

80
00:03:42.675 –> 00:03:44.965
that you are the problem in your love life.

81
00:03:45.425 –> 00:03:46.925
All the struggles and patterns

82
00:03:46.925 –> 00:03:48.165
and cycles that you’ve been in.

83
00:03:48.705 –> 00:03:52.205
Yes, it is you and I know it is the bitter pill to swallow,

84
00:03:52.625 –> 00:03:54.525
but it is also the magic pill

85
00:03:54.725 –> 00:03:55.925
because if you’re the problem,

86
00:03:56.355 –> 00:03:58.365
then you are also the solution.

87
00:03:58.425 –> 00:04:00.285
And that is the most liberating

88
00:04:00.285 –> 00:04:01.965
and empowering thing I can tell you

89
00:04:01.965 –> 00:04:04.805
because if the reason that you’re experiencing all

90
00:04:04.805 –> 00:04:07.405
of this disappointment and letdown is external,

91
00:04:07.865 –> 00:04:10.525
if it’s all about the men and the apps and your small town

92
00:04:10.525 –> 00:04:12.645
and your age and your past,

93
00:04:12.995 –> 00:04:15.845
there’s really absolutely just nothing you can do about it.

94
00:04:15.945 –> 00:04:17.325
You are screwed forever.

95
00:04:17.985 –> 00:04:20.085
But on the other hand, if you are willing

96
00:04:20.145 –> 00:04:21.565
to look in the mirror and to see

97
00:04:21.625 –> 00:04:25.085
how you are the common denominator, that is the quickest.

98
00:04:25.305 –> 00:04:28.205
Really, it’s the only way to get to the root

99
00:04:28.425 –> 00:04:29.645
and breakthrough to love

100
00:04:29.645 –> 00:04:31.645
because you just simply need to see

101
00:04:31.655 –> 00:04:33.525
where you’ve been going wrong all this time

102
00:04:34.025 –> 00:04:35.285
and make some adjustments.

103
00:04:35.765 –> 00:04:37.125
I always wanna be the reason

104
00:04:37.125 –> 00:04:38.805
that something isn’t working in my life

105
00:04:38.915 –> 00:04:41.245
because then I have complete control.

106
00:04:41.925 –> 00:04:44.045
I can see what I need to do differently,

107
00:04:44.505 –> 00:04:46.805
and then I really just make the essential shifts

108
00:04:46.825 –> 00:04:48.125
and I end up getting what I want.

109
00:04:48.265 –> 00:04:50.445
So while I know it’s really hard to hear this,

110
00:04:50.635 –> 00:04:52.645
it’s also the best thing that I can tell you.

111
00:04:52.825 –> 00:04:56.085
And if you don’t believe me, listen, the old way

112
00:04:56.345 –> 00:04:59.045
of doing all of this is being a business badass,

113
00:04:59.105 –> 00:05:01.005
but accepting crumbs, friends

114
00:05:01.005 –> 00:05:03.205
with benefits when you really want a commitment

115
00:05:03.425 –> 00:05:05.725
and sitting in his waiting room while he decides if you’re

116
00:05:05.725 –> 00:05:10.045
the one for him, it’s lowering your standards, compromising

117
00:05:10.045 –> 00:05:11.405
or negotiating with yourself

118
00:05:11.665 –> 00:05:14.205
and settling for less than you desire in a partner

119
00:05:14.705 –> 00:05:16.125
or in a relationship.

120
00:05:16.315 –> 00:05:19.605
It’s wasting time staying too long with the wrong men

121
00:05:19.745 –> 00:05:22.845
and in the wrong relationships thinking maybe this is

122
00:05:22.845 –> 00:05:25.245
as good as it gets and just trying to make it work.

123
00:05:25.545 –> 00:05:26.765
And maybe even some

124
00:05:26.925 –> 00:05:29.525
of you are allowing yourselves to be treated poorly.

125
00:05:29.875 –> 00:05:32.205
It’s also going through all the motions of the dating

126
00:05:32.265 –> 00:05:33.885
and the meetups and the coffee dates,

127
00:05:34.385 –> 00:05:37.565
but you’re subconsciously thinking a lot of these things,

128
00:05:38.185 –> 00:05:39.205
all the good men are taken.

129
00:05:39.535 –> 00:05:41.125
There are no good men in my town.

130
00:05:41.435 –> 00:05:43.325
Only married men are attracted to me.

131
00:05:43.745 –> 00:05:48.005
All men cheat or men only want sex. I can’t trust men.

132
00:05:48.275 –> 00:05:50.245
It’s only a matter of time before it ends

133
00:05:50.245 –> 00:05:51.725
and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

134
00:05:51.875 –> 00:05:53.685
It’s thinking that men are intimidated

135
00:05:53.705 –> 00:05:55.285
by my strength and my success.

136
00:05:55.585 –> 00:05:59.485
So be honest, how many of these thoughts have you ever had?

137
00:05:59.705 –> 00:06:03.965
Or similar? You can’t want a truly equal partner

138
00:06:04.505 –> 00:06:07.245
and think that men are intimidated by your strength

139
00:06:07.245 –> 00:06:10.365
and success, and you can’t want a lasting,

140
00:06:10.365 –> 00:06:13.045
loving relationship and meanwhile be waiting

141
00:06:13.045 –> 00:06:14.165
for the other shoe to drop.

142
00:06:14.585 –> 00:06:16.485
It just doesn’t work like that.

143
00:06:16.705 –> 00:06:19.605
So once you take this big, powerful, brave step

144
00:06:20.025 –> 00:06:23.045
to swallow the bitter pill, which is also the magic pill,

145
00:06:23.425 –> 00:06:25.325
you are in complete control.

146
00:06:25.825 –> 00:06:27.885
You know that it’s 100% up

147
00:06:27.885 –> 00:06:30.805
to you whether you have amazing love in your life or not.

148
00:06:31.145 –> 00:06:33.405
To do this, you have to be willing to be honest

149
00:06:33.685 –> 00:06:36.965
with yourself and take radical responsibility for yourself.

150
00:06:37.555 –> 00:06:39.605
This puts you at the wheel, okay?

151
00:06:40.065 –> 00:06:44.445
And that just means no more blaming men, the apps, your ex,

152
00:06:44.555 –> 00:06:46.805
your past, your parents or your small town

153
00:06:47.065 –> 00:06:48.285
or the big city that you live in.

154
00:06:48.345 –> 00:06:51.365
And it also means no more hoping, praying, wishing,

155
00:06:51.365 –> 00:06:53.485
dreaming, and waiting for something

156
00:06:53.485 –> 00:06:55.605
to just magically change in your love life.

157
00:06:56.345 –> 00:07:00.325
And it means no more denying, avoiding pretending, lying

158
00:07:00.385 –> 00:07:02.205
to yourself that this isn’t important

159
00:07:02.225 –> 00:07:05.645
to you while you focus on work or everything else, but love

160
00:07:05.825 –> 00:07:07.525
and saying you’re fine when you’re not.

161
00:07:07.525 –> 00:07:10.765
Because while you are sitting on the bench curled up in

162
00:07:10.765 –> 00:07:13.325
you’re a comfy, cozy cocoon where you can’t get hurt

163
00:07:13.325 –> 00:07:16.365
or be disappointed again, life is passing you by.

164
00:07:16.425 –> 00:07:17.485
So here’s the big picture

165
00:07:17.545 –> 00:07:20.365
and what I want you to understand, the kind of man

166
00:07:20.435 –> 00:07:21.605
that you want to be

167
00:07:21.605 –> 00:07:24.805
with has done his own looking in the mirror too.

168
00:07:25.905 –> 00:07:28.565
He knows that he is the problem in his life.

169
00:07:28.905 –> 00:07:32.125
And so together you’ll be able to create a relationship

170
00:07:32.335 –> 00:07:34.245
where you can both take responsibility

171
00:07:34.345 –> 00:07:37.045
for yourselves instead of always pointing the finger

172
00:07:37.065 –> 00:07:39.245
or blame at each other when things aren’t working

173
00:07:39.385 –> 00:07:41.085
or their things aren’t going so well.

174
00:07:41.265 –> 00:07:42.525
You see what I’m getting at here?

175
00:07:42.755 –> 00:07:45.165
When you stop looking externally for the problem

176
00:07:45.665 –> 00:07:48.525
and when you stop justifying your avoidance of love

177
00:07:48.525 –> 00:07:52.005
with excuses, you are going to open up the floodgates

178
00:07:52.265 –> 00:07:54.325
and so many quality available.

179
00:07:55.045 –> 00:07:57.085
Masculine men are going to walk through that door

180
00:07:57.465 –> 00:07:58.565
and give you what you want.

181
00:07:58.755 –> 00:08:00.925
They will treat you the way you want to be treated.

182
00:08:01.075 –> 00:08:03.725
It’s like magic except it actually works. And it’s real.

183
00:08:03.795 –> 00:08:06.125
Step number two, transforming your

184
00:08:06.125 –> 00:08:07.805
relationship with yourself.

185
00:08:08.425 –> 00:08:11.045
All the focus is always on finding the one.

186
00:08:11.105 –> 00:08:14.405
And of course that is the end goal. But here’s the deal.

187
00:08:14.865 –> 00:08:16.845
You first have to become the one.

188
00:08:17.385 –> 00:08:20.645
Our relationships are a mirror reflecting back

189
00:08:20.645 –> 00:08:23.245
to us the truth of who we are in every moment.

190
00:08:23.385 –> 00:08:25.925
So all the experiences that you’ve been having

191
00:08:25.925 –> 00:08:27.885
with men in relationships reveal

192
00:08:28.235 –> 00:08:30.405
what is happening internally with you.

193
00:08:30.585 –> 00:08:33.845
So let’s talk about what’s really going on on the outside.

194
00:08:34.225 –> 00:08:37.445
You look the part, you have it all together, the career,

195
00:08:37.625 –> 00:08:39.365
the house, the success, the lifestyle.

196
00:08:39.705 –> 00:08:41.205
You take really good care of yourself

197
00:08:41.265 –> 00:08:43.325
and maybe you look 10 years younger than you are.

198
00:08:43.485 –> 00:08:45.445
I hear that every single day from women.

199
00:08:45.705 –> 00:08:48.965
And you do all the things, the spa days, massages, facials,

200
00:08:49.435 –> 00:08:51.645
hair, nails, girls trips, and nice clothes.

201
00:08:51.785 –> 00:08:54.085
So you think that you have good self care

202
00:08:54.225 –> 00:08:55.525
and take good care of yourself.

203
00:08:56.105 –> 00:08:58.525
And then you point to all of your professional success

204
00:08:58.525 –> 00:08:59.645
and your fabulous life

205
00:09:00.025 –> 00:09:03.005
and think about yourself as a confident and powerful woman.

206
00:09:03.825 –> 00:09:06.805
Intellectually, you know you are a great catch

207
00:09:07.105 –> 00:09:09.485
and you deserve love and anyone would be lucky to have you.

208
00:09:09.745 –> 00:09:12.605
But here’s the thing, your track record

209
00:09:12.635 –> 00:09:16.245
with men does not reflect that of a woman at your level,

210
00:09:16.905 –> 00:09:19.805
nor does it reflect that of a woman who truly,

211
00:09:20.075 –> 00:09:23.245
genuinely knows her worth and her value does it.

212
00:09:23.345 –> 00:09:27.125
That’s because what is going on in your inner world is a

213
00:09:27.125 –> 00:09:29.525
very different story than what you show the world.

214
00:09:29.965 –> 00:09:33.045
I am so willing to bet that you are hard on yourself.

215
00:09:33.385 –> 00:09:34.885
You have a mean inner critic,

216
00:09:35.265 –> 00:09:37.125
you doubt yourself, question yourself.

217
00:09:37.125 –> 00:09:38.125
Second guess yourself.

218
00:09:38.145 –> 00:09:41.485
You don’t trust yourself, which causes all kinds of anxiety,

219
00:09:41.485 –> 00:09:43.965
overthinking, overanalyzing, and overwhelm.

220
00:09:44.315 –> 00:09:45.885
Your self-talk sucks.

221
00:09:46.395 –> 00:09:49.605
Deep down you are constantly proving you are worthy

222
00:09:49.665 –> 00:09:51.845
and enough chasing, earning

223
00:09:51.985 –> 00:09:55.525
or performing for external validation and acceptance.

224
00:09:55.995 –> 00:09:58.165
Such is the way of high achieving women.

225
00:09:58.675 –> 00:10:00.965
This is a little known fact, but it is a fact.

226
00:10:00.965 –> 00:10:04.325
Nonetheless, high achieving women often struggle

227
00:10:04.355 –> 00:10:06.485
with low self-worth and low self-esteem.

228
00:10:06.705 –> 00:10:08.125
And I want you to understand this.

229
00:10:09.145 –> 00:10:11.605
All of this comes from our conditioning

230
00:10:11.605 –> 00:10:14.005
and our programming from our very earliest days.

231
00:10:14.065 –> 00:10:17.285
As little girls, we were taught to think this way, taught

232
00:10:17.305 –> 00:10:21.045
to talk to ourselves this way, taught to be this way.

233
00:10:21.625 –> 00:10:23.845
But this is not how we talk to

234
00:10:23.945 –> 00:10:26.085
or treat someone that we love, is it?

235
00:10:26.145 –> 00:10:27.685
And here’s where it all started.

236
00:10:28.275 –> 00:10:30.925
When you were ignored, emotionally neglected

237
00:10:30.925 –> 00:10:34.125
or loved conditionally, meaning only when you achieved

238
00:10:34.185 –> 00:10:36.845
or acted in a specific way, you learned

239
00:10:36.845 –> 00:10:38.965
that there is a certain way to be in this world.

240
00:10:39.025 –> 00:10:41.365
And if you’re not that, then you are not lovable.

241
00:10:41.425 –> 00:10:43.445
And when you were left to fend for yourself

242
00:10:43.625 –> 00:10:46.285
and maybe even take care of others, you learned

243
00:10:46.405 –> 00:10:48.525
that everyone else matters but you don’t

244
00:10:48.785 –> 00:10:50.365
and that your needs aren’t important

245
00:10:50.425 –> 00:10:52.165
and maybe you don’t even get to have needs.

246
00:10:52.505 –> 00:10:54.965
And you learned that no one will ever be there for you

247
00:10:55.385 –> 00:10:57.125
to take care of you and help you.

248
00:10:57.505 –> 00:10:59.085
And if you want something in this world,

249
00:10:59.145 –> 00:11:00.565
it is up to you to make it happen.

250
00:11:00.985 –> 00:11:04.285
So you became super self-sufficient and independent

251
00:11:04.345 –> 00:11:07.085
and the woman who handles everything, all

252
00:11:07.085 –> 00:11:10.405
of this works at work, which is why you’re successful,

253
00:11:10.515 –> 00:11:12.165
even if that has come at a cost,

254
00:11:12.665 –> 00:11:15.045
but it absolutely does not work in love.

255
00:11:15.225 –> 00:11:19.365
In fact, it makes it nearly impossible to receive the love

256
00:11:19.365 –> 00:11:22.725
that you are longing for and working so hard to find.

257
00:11:22.905 –> 00:11:24.485
The sad truth is

258
00:11:24.485 –> 00:11:27.285
that you’ve probably never really received unconditional

259
00:11:27.315 –> 00:11:29.525
love, not even when you were a little girl.

260
00:11:29.665 –> 00:11:32.045
So it’s quite possible you don’t even know how

261
00:11:32.345 –> 00:11:34.205
to let this kind of love in.

262
00:11:34.785 –> 00:11:36.565
And here’s what’s so confusing.

263
00:11:36.945 –> 00:11:39.525
You want it so badly and you’re starved for it.

264
00:11:40.105 –> 00:11:41.285
And at the same time,

265
00:11:41.785 –> 00:11:44.165
it scares you way more than you realize.

266
00:11:44.665 –> 00:11:46.965
And that’s because intimacy is scary.

267
00:11:47.395 –> 00:11:50.205
Even for powerful women who are fearless at work,

268
00:11:50.375 –> 00:11:54.285
being vulnerable and letting him in means he might see all

269
00:11:54.285 –> 00:11:57.045
of you, which means he may discover that you’re not perfect

270
00:11:57.545 –> 00:12:01.205
or see all the bits of you that that you deem unlovable,

271
00:12:01.235 –> 00:12:03.445
that you have yet to accept in yourself,

272
00:12:03.585 –> 00:12:07.485
and then that puts you in a position to be abandoned, hurt,

273
00:12:08.045 –> 00:12:09.805
rejected, or disappointed again.

274
00:12:10.065 –> 00:12:12.005
So here’s what’s really happening.

275
00:12:12.555 –> 00:12:16.325
Your subconscious self-protective behavior kicks in.

276
00:12:16.955 –> 00:12:19.445
It’s designed to keep you safe from your

277
00:12:19.445 –> 00:12:20.885
worst fears being realized.

278
00:12:21.525 –> 00:12:24.005
I call this protection prevents connection.

279
00:12:24.435 –> 00:12:26.725
It’s a trademarked piece of content right out

280
00:12:26.725 –> 00:12:27.845
of the Ready for love program.

281
00:12:28.105 –> 00:12:30.005
And here’s the painful irony.

282
00:12:30.155 –> 00:12:33.925
Because of this, you end up creating the very rejection

283
00:12:33.925 –> 00:12:36.525
that you are so desperately trying to avoid

284
00:12:36.795 –> 00:12:40.245
because these behaviors are blocking the intimacy

285
00:12:40.245 –> 00:12:41.685
and the connection that you want.

286
00:12:41.915 –> 00:12:43.805
When you are deep in protection mode,

287
00:12:44.225 –> 00:12:46.645
you can’t be in a state to connect at all.

288
00:12:46.985 –> 00:12:48.405
You can’t create connection,

289
00:12:48.625 –> 00:12:50.645
but it looks like he’s the problem.

290
00:12:51.065 –> 00:12:53.685
So here’s what becomes possible when you do this work.

291
00:12:54.185 –> 00:12:57.165
You create a rock solid, unconditional,

292
00:12:57.425 –> 00:12:59.845
and unshakeable relationship with yourself.

293
00:13:00.385 –> 00:13:04.245
You make peace with your past and heal all those old hurts

294
00:13:04.345 –> 00:13:05.925
and wounds and traumas,

295
00:13:06.265 –> 00:13:09.085
and you reprogram your brain to think in a new way

296
00:13:09.085 –> 00:13:10.965
and create new mindsets for yourself.

297
00:13:11.465 –> 00:13:14.845
And this allows you to love yourself unconditionally,

298
00:13:15.425 –> 00:13:17.765
accept yourself even on your bad days,

299
00:13:18.065 –> 00:13:19.125
and forgive yourself

300
00:13:19.145 –> 00:13:21.125
for all your flaws, faults and mistakes.

301
00:13:21.585 –> 00:13:24.005
And then you know you are worthy and deserving

302
00:13:24.265 –> 00:13:27.005
and trust yourself to always get your own back.

303
00:13:27.115 –> 00:13:28.645
Imagine what that would feel like.

304
00:13:29.135 –> 00:13:32.685
Would that feel like relief or peace? Or freedom?

305
00:13:32.945 –> 00:13:36.365
And when you do all of this, what happens is you become

306
00:13:36.395 –> 00:13:39.125
that one, you become the one in your life.

307
00:13:39.345 –> 00:13:43.165
You are the love of your own life, the one who is beaming

308
00:13:43.165 –> 00:13:46.405
with self-generated joy and certainty and magnetism.

309
00:13:46.665 –> 00:13:48.085
You will feel it internally

310
00:13:48.665 –> 00:13:51.125
and then it just radiates out of you.

311
00:13:51.465 –> 00:13:54.765
You take that energy with you everywhere you go, everything

312
00:13:54.765 –> 00:13:58.605
that you are doing has this high vibe quality behind it.

313
00:13:58.915 –> 00:14:02.645
It’s who you are being when you are doing all

314
00:14:02.665 –> 00:14:03.885
the things that you are doing.

315
00:14:04.185 –> 00:14:08.285
And the last piece to step fully into being her is

316
00:14:08.285 –> 00:14:10.565
to get good at dating and relationships.

317
00:14:10.985 –> 00:14:12.885
So let’s face it, you are good at

318
00:14:12.885 –> 00:14:14.245
almost everything else you do.

319
00:14:14.305 –> 00:14:16.565
People come to you to help solve their problems.

320
00:14:16.825 –> 00:14:18.445
You run circles around everyone.

321
00:14:18.705 –> 00:14:21.565
You are a highly capable, competent woman.

322
00:14:21.795 –> 00:14:24.125
It’s just who you are. You probably get more done in the

323
00:14:24.125 –> 00:14:25.205
morning before nine o’clock

324
00:14:25.425 –> 00:14:27.285
before some people do all day, right?

325
00:14:27.385 –> 00:14:31.725
So can we just maybe agree or at least consider that love

326
00:14:31.745 –> 00:14:34.525
and relationships may not be your zone of genius?

327
00:14:34.695 –> 00:14:36.045
Maybe this is just one area

328
00:14:36.045 –> 00:14:37.845
that doesn’t come naturally to you.

329
00:14:38.175 –> 00:14:39.445
Maybe you didn’t learn how

330
00:14:39.445 –> 00:14:41.205
to have a healthy relationship from

331
00:14:41.205 –> 00:14:42.685
what was modeled for you at home.

332
00:14:43.065 –> 00:14:44.725
You probably learned like most of us,

333
00:14:45.035 –> 00:14:46.965
what you don’t want from your parents.

334
00:14:47.245 –> 00:14:50.765
I sure did. And you didn’t learn this anywhere along the way

335
00:14:51.065 –> 00:14:53.725
in school or church or synagogue or temple or therapy

336
00:14:53.865 –> 00:14:56.405
or anywhere else because we’re not taught these things

337
00:14:56.665 –> 00:14:59.005
and you’ve probably not experienced yourself being

338
00:14:59.005 –> 00:15:02.045
successful in this area of your life yet.

339
00:15:02.505 –> 00:15:06.005
So it makes perfect sense why this is so hard for you.

340
00:15:06.465 –> 00:15:09.805
We know we can do something when we’ve seen ourselves do it

341
00:15:09.905 –> 00:15:11.805
and do it well again and again.

342
00:15:12.265 –> 00:15:15.965
But maybe you just haven’t seen yourself do this well yet.

343
00:15:16.345 –> 00:15:19.205
So it can be hard to trust it and to be certain

344
00:15:19.225 –> 00:15:21.845
and confident in yourself in this area.

345
00:15:22.105 –> 00:15:24.205
But here’s the thing, believing that love

346
00:15:24.205 –> 00:15:27.085
and relationships should come easy or naturally,

347
00:15:27.465 –> 00:15:29.685
and that if it doesn’t come naturally to us,

348
00:15:30.075 –> 00:15:31.325
then there’s something wrong with us

349
00:15:31.385 –> 00:15:32.845
or we’re inadequate for love.

350
00:15:32.845 –> 00:15:34.205
And that is just total bs.

351
00:15:34.955 –> 00:15:37.325
There’s a difference between wanting love

352
00:15:37.665 –> 00:15:39.885
and having the skills to make it happen.

353
00:15:40.585 –> 00:15:42.925
And there just comes a time when we have to acknowledge

354
00:15:43.035 –> 00:15:45.965
that we need to learn a new way of doing things

355
00:15:46.105 –> 00:15:47.605
or acquire a new skillset.

356
00:15:47.945 –> 00:15:50.245
So here’s what it looks like when you know

357
00:15:50.435 –> 00:15:53.485
what you’re doing, what becomes possible when

358
00:15:53.485 –> 00:15:54.525
you develop these skills.

359
00:15:54.775 –> 00:15:57.085
First, you trust your picker completely

360
00:15:57.355 –> 00:16:00.245
because you have 100% clarity on

361
00:16:00.245 –> 00:16:01.925
what you need and want in a partner.

362
00:16:02.425 –> 00:16:06.325
So you trust yourself to never, ever settle, bargain

363
00:16:06.665 –> 00:16:08.765
or negotiate with yourself ever again,

364
00:16:09.345 –> 00:16:12.365
nor will you push away a great guy for the wrong reasons.

365
00:16:12.625 –> 00:16:13.925
That’s a big one. Next,

366
00:16:13.985 –> 00:16:16.605
you can navigate the early tender stages of dating,

367
00:16:16.635 –> 00:16:18.845
like the texting and the flirting and the messaging

368
00:16:18.845 –> 00:16:21.565
and the pacing, and to do it with ease and grace.

369
00:16:21.945 –> 00:16:24.405
You know the rules so that you know what to do

370
00:16:24.505 –> 00:16:27.245
and not to do even when you get really excited

371
00:16:27.245 –> 00:16:28.925
because he checks so many of the boxes

372
00:16:29.425 –> 00:16:32.485
or the chemistry is hot and you don’t get attached

373
00:16:32.485 –> 00:16:35.405
before a man has actually earned that place in your life,

374
00:16:35.625 –> 00:16:38.005
you spot red flags early and walk away

375
00:16:38.005 –> 00:16:41.165
because you value yourself enough to know that your time

376
00:16:41.165 –> 00:16:42.805
and your energy are precious.

377
00:16:43.105 –> 00:16:45.565
And if it’s not a fit, it’s just not a fit.

378
00:16:45.985 –> 00:16:48.725
And finally, you learn how to be healthy in a relationship

379
00:16:49.105 –> 00:16:51.125
so you can make it last for the long term.

380
00:16:51.395 –> 00:16:53.445
It’s understanding a whole new dynamic

381
00:16:53.895 –> 00:16:56.725
where you are fully expressed and you know how to receive

382
00:16:56.745 –> 00:16:59.485
and hold space for yourself in a relationship.

383
00:17:00.025 –> 00:17:02.205
No more self betrayal or self abandoning

384
00:17:02.205 –> 00:17:04.925
or losing yourself in a relationship ever again.

385
00:17:05.275 –> 00:17:10.165
This is being her dating as a high vibe, high value woman,

386
00:17:10.675 –> 00:17:14.165
just easy, breezy, comfortable in your own skin, fearless

387
00:17:14.385 –> 00:17:16.125
and vulnerable all at the same time.

388
00:17:16.235 –> 00:17:18.725
Knowing that you are worth is inside of you

389
00:17:19.305 –> 00:17:21.885
and not contingent upon him picking you.

390
00:17:22.475 –> 00:17:25.605
It’s knowing what you want and refusing to settle for less.

391
00:17:26.465 –> 00:17:29.925
So do you have a vision of what that version

392
00:17:29.945 –> 00:17:31.725
of you looks like and feels like?

393
00:17:31.985 –> 00:17:35.405
What’s it like to be her? How does that change your life?

394
00:17:35.545 –> 00:17:36.645
Not just your love life,

395
00:17:36.985 –> 00:17:40.125
but being her all the time, wherever you go, no matter

396
00:17:40.125 –> 00:17:43.085
what you’re doing or who you are with, when you can be her?

397
00:17:43.625 –> 00:17:45.085
It doesn’t just change your life.

398
00:17:45.435 –> 00:17:47.165
When women start showing up like this,

399
00:17:47.305 –> 00:17:49.245
it really does change everything.

400
00:17:49.545 –> 00:17:53.005
So the bottom line today, the good men are out there,

401
00:17:53.385 –> 00:17:55.605
but it is not about finding him

402
00:17:55.705 –> 00:17:58.245
or using manipulation strategies

403
00:17:58.245 –> 00:18:01.125
or tactics to get him those high vibe,

404
00:18:01.475 –> 00:18:04.965
high quality men are not looking for that old version of you

405
00:18:04.965 –> 00:18:07.805
that fixes broken men or shrinks herself

406
00:18:08.145 –> 00:18:10.605
or hides behind all of her layers of protection

407
00:18:10.865 –> 00:18:12.445
and doesn’t know how to receive love.

408
00:18:13.055 –> 00:18:15.165
Those men are drawn to

409
00:18:15.225 –> 00:18:18.605
and are looking for her, that new version of you

410
00:18:19.185 –> 00:18:20.245
and becoming her.

411
00:18:20.635 –> 00:18:23.765
That is the work that must be your focus.

412
00:18:24.225 –> 00:18:28.365
And when you do and you become her, you win no matter what.

413
00:18:28.365 –> 00:18:30.925
Whether you ever meet an amazing man

414
00:18:30.945 –> 00:18:34.645
and have that love in your life, you win no matter what

415
00:18:34.715 –> 00:18:36.365
because the true gift

416
00:18:36.385 –> 00:18:40.285
and the true prize is you get this to be this version

417
00:18:40.285 –> 00:18:41.565
of yourself in light.

418
00:18:41.625 –> 00:18:43.485
