Let's face it, we are not all that good at it. It's hardly something to feel shame about - none of us are taught. So, let's learn a few things that make our relationships into magic. A few things like: * Why our terror of "no" stops us from speaking up; and how to do it anyway. * How to determine what boundaries are necessary for yourself, and for your partner, friend or family member. * The body/emotion connection - listening to yourself for all the information you need. * Your true identity in relationship and out!

Exceptional Truths for Exceptional RelationshipWe all crave love. From friends, from our spouses, even from the world at large; that last kind of love we call "admiration". And we all try really hard to get it. The problem is, we so often don't! Why? What's the problem here? The problem is that we don't have the training in emotional intimacy. That means we have not been trained how to (1) have the courage and clarity to ask for what we want, (2) how to take responsibility for our own part of a situation - and even how to figure out that there ARE parts of a situation, (3) the difference between our reactions to situations, and our responses...and how to both honor our feelings, and not get swept away by them, so that we can actually have a true and honest conversation, even when it's hard. Join me tonight for "What is True Emotional Intimacy?" And BE THERE LIVE, because you will have the chance to win a free Authenticity Self-Expression Session with me, one-on-one on the phone. Take the time to learn the most valuable lessons we can learn. Everything else in life gets swept away.

And it is now that I am finding ways to deal with and transform it. There are so many of us human beings who live with depression, hidden terrors, self-doubts, emotional pains that we feel are just not really "allowed" in our society. Whether they are "allowed" or not, WE are the ones who have to allow ourselves to have what we need to move through these states so that we can reclaim our lives, or maybe even claim them as our own for the first time.

Then, when change comes, the screaming can often begin, can't it? So I started to wonder about this phenomenon, not least because I'm going through my own screaming phase right now, and it's both awe-inspiring even to myself, and terrifying. Both! Here is what I wondered: What makes us desire change?What makes change so hard and what can we do to make change easier to walk through?What is transformation?How are change and transformation different? Or are they? Let's have a conversation, and get some answers to moving into what we so long for - our truly expressed selves - without unnecessary drama, but all the while understanding what is really required of us if we are to move into being all that we are. 00:30:00TruVoice True Messagenotransformation,transformational,Change,change your life,CourageIf you've been in personal or spiritual growth communities for any length of time, you have been a seeker of change.

(Hint: Yes. You Can.)Tonight we are talking with Jeanne Courtney, MFT, San Francisco Bay Area Feminist Psychotherapist and proponent of size acceptance, and Health At Every Size. We women have a terrible time with shame, self-judgment, comparing ourselves to one another - all because of the emphasis we put on how our bodies look. We are "supported" in this delusion by all kinds of messages that keep us so in thrall to our imagined defects, we give precious little attention and energy to what is important: creating lives of purpose, joy, love and true identity as the embodiments of goddess energy that we truly are. Jeanne Courtney brings us new ways of: Understanding what "fat" doesn't mean in terms of health Seeing our misunderstandings in such a way that we can start to let ourselves off the hook Practicing self-love of the body just as it is. ...and much more. Her style is warm, humorous, inviting, and clear, and I know that you will love listening to this interview as much as I did conducting it. She is a treasure, and my dear friend, and I am thrilled to offer this interview to you. Please do share it, and bring others to this conversation.

The word "courage" comes from the French word "coeur", meaning heart. What this means is that courage is all about settling into action/non-action that arises from the heart of us, from what is truly in alignment with who we are, what we feel to be best, and what we need to do next. Courage comes in so many, many forms. As many as there are people: Walking forward in faith, when you can't see the outcome. That's courage.Standing stock still instead of rushing forward when everyone else is rushing, because you have a different vision. That's courage.Keeping going, and also finding new ways to keep going, when the dream seems to be fading. That's courage. What does it actually take to exercise your courage? Knowing what feels right to you, and choosing to say YES to that, is one way that we exercise our courage. Knowing that it is all about responding to life with our feelings, rather than with the mind alone, is in itself a courageous exercise.To allow yourself to be more fascinated with and committed to what is on the other side of fear, than you are to be in thrall to the feelings that are holding you (temporarily!) down. In this episode we are going to talk about what it takes to actually exercise your courage: all the faces courage can wear, and the ways that you can walk with courage in your life in a way that leaves you flexible and responsive - not militant and rigid.   00:30:00TruVoice True Messagenolori kirstein,truvoice,true message,Entrepreneur,BREAKTHROUGHWhen we are scared, challenged, hurt - those are the times we need courage the most.

Today, in 2014, we talk quite a bit about taking back and celebrating our power, but there are precious few of us who know that the heck that really means! Mention "power" in a group of women, and watch more than a few of us flinch, because we have been schooled (as has the rest of the world) in seeing the negative side of power: the power-over. We have been schooled in seeing power-with as weaker. And so we flounder as we try to take our place of strength in this changing scenario called our world. Join the conversation Monday night to learn how feminine strength is the only strength that really propels life in an ongoing way. Join your sisters and supportive brothers in celebrating the divine feminine that is the birthplace of strength, creativity, community, and Self-expression. Begin to consider giving up the idea of being a "braggart" when all you are doing is telling your gifts, and offering them to whoever would be bettered by their usage. Join the conversation. Come to your own table of the kinds of power you crave: to stand up and speak your truth, to not question your worth, to unapologetically take up space in your own life and the lives of others!

I realized that "being yourself" isn't a given, especially when we have practiced being what we think everyone else wants us to be, for a long, long time. We have a true voice, true strengths, true aspects of our being, but we may not know it yet. Or if we do know it, we may have not yet accepted it. Today's episode covers: (1) The measurable states of being that reflect "who you are" (2) Why that's true. (3) Why we stumble as we try to assimilate these powerful states of being, and why that's not as bad as we think. (4) How to start flexing the attitudinal muscles that allow us to just "be ourselves". (5) What it looks like when we really are just being ourselves! See you at the show!

Probably more times than you can count. We go to school to be good girls and boys - so that we can get out and have a career and make a living. And then we find ourselves unhappy, either vaguely or tremendousyl, and we start to wonder why. It is at that point that we start to find spirituality. But we still can't leave our lives.
