Licensed mental health therapist Jessica leads a candid discussion on the concept of "eras" in life. She and Ariele delve into various eras individuals may experience, from periods of healing and alignment to seasons of hustle and grind. They explore the importance of recognizing and embracing different eras, whether it's finding softness after hardship or embracing a "girl boss" mentality. The conversation highlights the significance of self-care, setting boundaries, and fostering supportive relationships as key elements in navigating life's eras.

In part 2, I introduce Dr. John Gottman and his Four Horsemen, which are predictors of relationship demise (gottman.com). I also go in-depth with some personal experiences and relate them to these. 

I talk about past trauma and why it is so necessary to heal our wounds. I also relate to Gottman's theory and break things down a bit further.

As promised, here is part 1 of the Love episode! Trigger warning: I mention polyamory and "throuples" and non-heteronormative relationships

This episode covers Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love (simplypsychology.org) as well as Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages (5lovelanguages.com). It's a little messy, but I explain the triangle and the points Sternberg makes. There are many types of love extending beyond romantic love. This is research from 1986 so it's nothing new. But many people have never heard of this. Looking at the triangle, we can make several deductions about how we experience love with other people. 

Chapman's research focuses more on romantic love. Though it was based on heteronormative relationships, this can be applied to any romantic relationship dynamic. 

What are your thoughts? Head over to the Facebook to discuss or send me an email sparkleew@yahoo.com. 

In this episode, we delve into the profound importance of self-discovery and understanding in cultivating meaningful relationships. Too often, we expect our loved ones to intuitively grasp our needs and desires without truly knowing ourselves. 

But what if the key to receiving the love we crave lies in understanding and articulating our own emotional landscape?

From recognizing our love languages to understanding our attachment styles, every aspect of self-knowledge contributes to clearer communication and deeper connections.

Tune in to this enlightening episode and embark on a journey of self-discovery that not only enriches your own life but also transforms the way you give and receive love. After all, the most authentic connections are forged when we dare to be truly ourselves.

Here are my notes for this episode, taken mostly from Napoleon Hill's "Outwitting the Devil: the Secrets to Freedom and Success." Go get a copy STAT! It's so good. Also, at the end, find my reference in regards to the American School System.

Drifting-as defined by Napoleon Hill

-occurs when one stops thinking for themselves and they begin to simply “go with the flow”

                -they have no destination in mind, no goal, or ultimate idea of what their purpose might be or how to pursue it

                -equates to laziness

                -hereditary, passed down from parents

-the devil uses poverty as a means of control and a way to start drifting from a very young age

-starts in the schools*…

                                -if one grows up in poverty, they are likely to continue the cycle…

“I have always understood that money was the root of all evil, that the poor and the meek would inherit heaven, while the wealthy would pass into [the devil’s] hands.”

                “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” 1Timothy 6:10

Money itself is not evil and does not lead to evil. It’s how it’s viewed and used. Money is simply a resource, like water or air or electricity

Habits are powerful! Developing “good” habits defeats drifting

*ed.gov Horace Mann-1830-Common Schools; John D. Rockefeller-1903-“modern” school system setup

In this episode, we are diving deep into the spiritual awakening journey of Jannalee, a licensed professional counselor with a rich background in the Mormon faith.

Here is the outline for the show:

The “will” and the “way”-Mel Robbins

                When the will and way are present, your brain will work behind the scenes to help you.

o   Have something to look forward to

o   Give us a roadmap to follow

·         What makes a good goal

o   Make is specific and measurable

o   SMART

·         How to begin achieving goals

o   Write it down!

o   Starting to work toward the goal

o   Breaking it down into manageable chunks

·         Reflecting on your goals

o   Look at them daily, weekly, monthly

§  Write them everywhere! Post-It notes, etc

o   Track your progress!
