Why Self-trust Is Key for Fulfilling Relationships & How to Develop It

35m · Lionesse · 02 Feb 12:00

Self-trust is absolutely foundational to dating successfully and growing healthy, fulfilling relationships. It's your bedrock for dating, relating and just generally thriving in the world. 

This week we're getting into why self-trust is so important for creating the kind of love you're looking for. How it helps you pass on people, relationships and situations that are not in alignment with you. And call in one's that are. 

We talk about how it helps you prioritize your own needs in relationships instead of abandoning yourself. And I share some simple techniques you can use to grow your own self-trust.

If You Struggle to Enjoy Sex, You Are Not Broken

One thing I hear pretty often from people who were socialized as women is some version of:

I don't want to have sex as much as my partner…

I don't actually care about sex that much…

I don't feel that turned on

What's wrong with me???

I want to clear this up once and for all: Nothing is wrong with you. You are not broken.

And in this week's episode we get into some of the reasons you might be feeling like something's wrong with you and why that is 100% not the case.

Self-Compassion in Relationships & Life with Allison McManis

On this episode I got to sit down with my friend Allison McManis and talk about what self-compassion is and why it's so important for thriving in relationships and life.

Allison is a coach who works with habitual over-extenders. (Perfectionists, people-pleasers, and overachievers, I'm looking at you! If you fall into this category, today's episode is going to be extra helpful for you.)

Self-compassion and radical self-acceptance, which are huge themes here on the podcast, are a big part of Allison's work, so I was thrilled to have this conversation with her!
