Show notes

Themes: Codependency, Empathy, People-Pleasing, Self-Abandonment, Over-Functioning Summary: In all of the years I have been doing this work and the thousands and thousands of messages I receive, codependency is by far one of the biggest issues I see. Over-functioning, over-delivering, people pleasing and ignoring your own needs? I’ve definitely been there! That’s why this week, I’m re-releasing one of my most popular episodes EVER to break down what exactly codependency is and how to break free from this unhealthy behavioural pattern. In this episode I’m joined by my dear friend and all around bad-ass Terri Cole who is a New York based licensed psychotherapist, relationship and empowerment expert, best-selling author and co-creator of the Crushing Codependency course. I cannot speak highly enough of Terri's expertise in this space and am so excited to dive deeper into this incredibly important topic. If you have ever wondered whether you are empathic or perhaps have some traits of codependency, you cannot miss this show!

#198: This is How Relationships End with Matthew Fray Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

Themes: Marriage, Relationships, Commitment, Divorce, Trust, Intimacy Summary: One night during his divorce, Matthew Fray started a blog. He needed to figure out how his ex-wife went from the 18 year old college freshman who adored him to the angry woman who thought he was a jerk and left him. As he pieced together the story of his marriage and its end, Matthew began to realize a hard truth: even though he was a decent guy, he was a bad husband. As he shared raw, uncomfortable, and darkly humorous first-person stories about the lessons he’d learned from his failed marriage, his post – “She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes By the Sink” — was read over four million times. Now, his book, This Is How Your Marriage Ends: A Hopeful Approach to Saving Relationships, is set to release this month. Filtered through the lens of his own surprising, life-changing experience and his years counselling couples, the book exposes the root problem of so many relationships that go wrong to help partners identify and address relationship-killing behaviour patterns in their own lives. I am so excited to have Matt on today to dive into it all! Discover: Why most relationships or marriages come to an end (even if we’re still in love) The subtle ways we erode trust in our relationships Two foundational habits you can focus on to build more trust and intimacy within your relationship What it means to validate your partner Links: This Is How Your Marriage Ends: A Hopeful Approach to Saving Relationships by Matthew Fray Matt's Blog - Must Be This Tall to Ride Sponsors: Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at organifi.com/createthelove House of Wise Co. | Use code CREATETHELOVEBOGO to get one free box of gummies when you buy one box at houseofwise.co Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards

Show notes

Themes: Relationships, Commitment, Uncertainty, Self-Worth, Self-Compassion, Self-Acceptance Summary: I remember when I was afraid to get engaged in my twenties, someone told me I was just afraid of commitment. That as a man, it was normal. I wasn't supposed to run towards love, but rather just surrender — as if it was some sort of life sentence I would need to learn to tolerate. All of that couldn't have been more wrong. I wasn't afraid of commitment — I was afraid that love would hurt me. Join me this week as I explore my thoughts on commitment, marriage, getting feedback, having compassion for yourself and what it means to trust yourself in love.
