Episode 295: The Way of the Well Made Woman

In this episode, we’re exploring what I call The Way of the Well-Made Woman —the mindset, energy, and emotional maturity that separate the woman who’s constantly reacting to life from the woman who leads herself through it with peace, power, and grace.This episode is for the woman, who has a voice inside saying: “I don’t want to keep living this way.”Not because everything is falling apart — but because how she feels inside no longer matches the woman she knows she’s meant to be.The Way of the Well-Made Woman is how you bridge that gap.It’s how you start experiencing your life — and yourself — differently.In this conversation, I’ll share three distinctions that define a self-led woman — the ways she thinks, chooses, and responds that change everything.You’ll walk away with reflection questions and practices to help you live with more gratitude, confidence, and grounded calm — starting today.If you’re ready to stop running on autopilot and start leading yourself with intention, this is your invitation.And to learn more about my signature program, The Well Made Woman, visit my website here: https://drchavonne.com/wmw/

In this episode, we’re exploring the idea of Emotional Wealth — treating YOU as the primary asset in your life.Just like investing in property or stocks for long-term gain, emotional wealth is built by consistently investing in how you think, how you feel, and how you choose to respond… no matter what’s happening around you.We’ll talk about:Why emotional maturity is a long-game investment, not a quick emotional hitWhat it means to see yourself as an asset that increases in value over timeHow to stay steady when life throws disruptions, disappointments, or emotional stormsAnd why building emotional wealth is legacy work — something your children will inherit through the way you live, feel, and handle lifeThis isn’t about being positive all the time.It’s about becoming emotionally abundant — able to feel deeply, recover quickly, and move through life with grounded confidence.If you've ever wanted to feel unshakeable, more at peace, and truly proud of who you're becoming — this conversation will shift the way you see emotional growth forever.Mentioned in this Episode: The Well Made Woman Lead Your Life Masterclass --> Learn More Here: https://drchavonne.com/lyl/

When it comes to your marriage, progress doesn’t come from one big breakthrough conversation or waiting for your partner to suddenly change. Progress comes from habits.Not the once-in-a-while things you do when you’re on your best behavior, but the predictable patterns you fall into over and over again.In this episode, we’re talking about how to recognize these habits for what they are, and—more importantly—how to start changing them so you can create a different experience in your marriage.You’ll learn:How to spot the patterns that keep pulling you both back into the same fights.Why self-awareness is the first step in shifting your behavior.What it takes to experiment with new ways of responding—and why that matters.How to create systems and structures (like code words or marriage check-ins) that make new habits stick.And why celebrating small wins is just as important as the big breakthroughs.If nothing changes about what you do, nothing changes about what you experience. But once you start shifting your habits, you’ll not only make progress—you’ll transform who you are to each other.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why managing your emotions is the key to making real progress in your marriage. You’ll learn:Why emotions are physical sensations that will pass—and how to ride that wave instead of getting pulled under.How to see emotions as signals guiding you to something important.What it looks like to truly take responsibility for your own feelings—without blaming or offloading them onto your partner.Why “you can’t heal what you won’t feel” (and how to practice that in a safe, grounded way).And how staying centered in your emotions actually makes it more likely that your partner will hear you.If you’ve ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same fights, or why the same feelings seem to hijack your progress—this episode is going to show you a new way forward.And for more personalized support using my proven process to making progress in your marriage, I invite you to work with me in one of my coaching programs.
