Minisode: Walking through a broken heart Jun 03, 2022

Show notes

In March of 2009 I wrote a blog post that over the years has popped up in people’s Google searches a lot. Apparently, many people are searching for ways to get over their ex and how to heal their broken hearts.

While I’ve changed a lot since the spring of 2009, (I hadn’t had my second baby yet, hadn’t officially launched my business, and sobriety was still two years away!) I do think what I wrote was helpful, but I would give that advice differently than I did back then.

This mini-sode is a short and sweet one. Basically, I talk about two things that are imperative to know as you’re navigating a broken heart, whether your experience was last week or a decade ago (or more).

451 Minisode: How to NOT communicate like a Kardashian May 20, 2022

Show notes

Love them or not, the Kardashians and their show are an impactful part of pop culture. You probably know they aren’t the most healthy family in terms of their communication. You don’t necessarily think of them when you think of families that talk about their feelings in a way you’d probably want to emulate.

That’s why in today’s minisode, I’m pulling two examples from the same episode on how NOT to communicate.

This episode is for all the people out there who struggle with how to talk to their family, co-workers, friends, and many others. In it, you’ll hear:

First up, a comment from yours truly on the leaked document from SCOTUS about Roe v. Wade.
Both Kourtney and Rob hurt Kris’s (their mom) feelings, and what they do in response to hearing about it from her.
WHY we typically fall short when someone tells us we’ve hurt their feelings.
Examples on how to “clean up your mess” (aka apologize).

Lastly, if you’re interested in signing up for The Daring Way™ Retreat that's coming up in September but have some questions that aren't answered on the info page you can book a quick call with me to get your questions answered. Simply scroll down to the FAQ’s after reading THIS PAGE and book your call.
