Do you avoid opening presents in front of other people? Or maybe you've taken "It's better to give than to receive" a little too far and tell people you don't want anything for Christmas? Being able to receive is ESSENTIAL in a relationship. If we don't know how to receive, if we don't know what it's like to receive in a healthy way, we can block ourselves from love. We can end up pushing away real love because it feels so uncomfortable and so out of the norm. Let's use this season of receiving gifts to look at your patterns around receiving in relationships.

It's the season of giving - so we're going to use that to look at how we give in relationships.

This episode is going to help you understand what's keeping you from getting closure, common blocks to closure and how to start taking closure into your own hands and giving it to yourself.

You'd love to say you're over them, but you aren't. Knowing WHY you can't get closure is going to help you get closer to not thinking about them anymore.

As part of focusing on getting closure this month, we are looking at closure within a relationship. It might be a fight you had. Something your partner said or did. Or an issue that just keeps coming up. This episode is going to help you identify when you need closure on an issue within continuing relationship and what is preventing you from getting that closure on an issue.

Closure is our theme for this month! I open up in this episode and talk about past relationships, signs I see in myself that show I don't have closure and how I create closure for myself.

What do you do when you want sex but your partner doesn't? We look at mismatched sex drives from the perspective of the partner who wants more sex but isn't sure how to make that happen, how getting turned down can impact our confidence and how we show up when we feel hurt. Then we talk about getting on the same team - because doesn't everyone want a great sex life? I bet both you and your partner do.

What do you do when your partner wants more sex but you don't? Today we dive into what happens when you aren't meeting your partner's needs. This takes us deep into boundaries, understanding what we are and aren't responsible for in relationships and looking at the roles we fall into accidentally. Have questions? I'd love to hear from you. Reach out [email protected].

The essence of Boundaries is understanding what we are responsible for and what we AREN'T responsible for. If you find yourself trying to figure out other people and why they do what they do - you might be struggling with Over-Responsiblity.
