How do you trust again after heartbreak?

Here’s a powerful reminder that it doesn’t have to be nearly as hard as it feels Recently I had a client share with me a whole series of disappointing stories about how her relationships had all come to an end through one means or another. That’s when she asked me that magic question: “so how am I ever going to […]

You’re Either Victim – Or Victor. Why You Can’t Have It Both Ways.

How One Woman Stopped Feeling “Less Than” And Started Calling In More… We all have disappointments and hurts in life: Things that didn’t work out. People that let you down or hurt you. Goals that haven’t materialized. The thing is – nothing has any meaning except for the meaning you give it. Those who develop the skill to find the […]

Are you making this big mistake that damages relationships?

The problem is so common, psychologists had to create a term for it – I call it a relationship killer. There is a habit that is so common and pervasive in human relationships that it has its own name. Even though you may not have heard of Fundamental Attribution Error or even know what it is, I can tell you […]

Do you know your value?

This simple question will not only turn around a troubled relationship. It’ll turn around your life. It seems like I have so many clients right now whose current challenges all lead back to one unmistakable root. They simply don’t know their own value. In one case, it’s a bullying partner who undermines my client’s self-confidence and very sanity, then blames […]

Throwing Yourself Down The Steps is not recommended

It sounds like such common sense…yet why do so many people do it? Most people wouldn’t consider standing at the top of a steep flight of stairs and hurtling themselves downward, tumbling and bouncing painfully every step of the way until the forces of gravity and inertia are exhausted and they come to a stop. In the best case scenario, […]

Why Michelangelo would have been the ultimate coach

Where others saw flaws, one genius saw a masterpiece waiting to be revealed I started thinking about Michelangelo’s Statue of David recently, which is one of the most famous works of art ever created and a timeless classic that is recognized around the world. Perhaps the most intriguing part of the story is that the sculptor could have had his […]

How to turn it all around when you’ve got it all wrong

When you finally understand how invisible love strategies REALLY work, it can create an incredible reversal of fortune Earlier this year, I helped one of my clients, a very successful doctor, finally leave a long-term relationship that had been going nowhere for some time. In addition to processing the grief of loss while closing out that painful chapter in her […]

The reason we get mad is because we didn’t GET EVEN

Now that I got your attention… it’s not at all what you think. Introducing the Cycle of Restitution/Retribution. No – it’s not what you think. I am not suggesting that you “get even” with people in the traditional sense. This is NOT about hurting those who hurt you. In fact, that’s the last thing I would advocate in a relationship […]

Oftentimes, the answers you seek are hidden in your questions themselves.

Why you’ll never get a good answer when you ask a poor quality question I’ve been doing a lot of interviews lately and recently, one of my interviewers – who is also a relationship expert in Australia who works exclusively with women – sent me a list of their client’s most commonly-asked questions. With one glance, it was clear to […]

How do you know when it’s time to go?

When it comes to Relationship Red Flags, just look for The R.I.N.G.S.™ Anyone who knows my work by now shouldn’t be surprised when I share a brand new acronym that can improve your relationships. Of course, an acronym is a great way to chunk a larger amount of information that makes it more memorable, digestible and actionable. I have to […]

An Invitation Beats A Confrontation Any Day…

How do you quickly get past hurt & move toward healing? I was having lunch with a colleague and friend recently and after we finished catching up, laughing and trading stories, she nervously “shifted gears” and announced that she needed my professional help. It was quite clear by the change in her tone and the way she shifted in her […]

Is “The Big O” Making Or Breaking Your Relationship?

Now that I got your attention…it’s not exactly what you think… When most people hear the words “the big O,” they immediately think of the word orgasm. While clearly that’s a big factor in any “satisfied” relationship, it’s definitely not the only important ingredient.
