Rituals are a significant facet of our human experience. They enrich and give meaning to our life, and they make everything more fun- if done right!
If we didn’t have rituals, our days would just meld into each other as would our weeks, months and years… Our life would not have distinctive segments to focus on for personal care, productivity, creativity, relaxation, connection, fun and enjoyment… It would be a string of passing time without it being acknowledged and properly experienced…
Rituals help us delineate time as in our daily routine. They help us celebrate accomplishments, holidays, and other significant events. They facilitate the rites of passage and mark life-cycle transitions or milestones. They give meaning to our experience.
But they are even more impactful than this – they connect us, they give us identify, they give us family/relationship cohesiveness, they transmit legacy, they deepen our experiences. And most importantly they can serve as a mechanism for creating change…
In today’s episode I’m honored to share time with the wonderful Dr. Evan Imber-Black a prominent contributor to the Marriage and Family Therapy profession. We have a lovely conversation about the significance of rituals, their purpose, what makes a great ritual and how to create them, and how they are impactful in special family and relationship circumstances like step-families and multicultural families.
Hope this information serves you and helps you get on the path to your Successful Relationship and Meaningful Life.

Doing the same old will continue to generate the same old. As Spring is just around the corner, it is that time of year to do our refresh for newness… When we refresh our environments, situations, and even our approach to our relationship and our life, we create the relationship and life we desire…
We are already familiar with spring cleaning, cleanses and detoxes, and possibly even clearing our spaces, our body, and our energy. But we might not be so familiar with the idea that we can apply these concepts to our relationship…
That’s right, we can spring clean our connection habits and lifestyle, clean up toxic interactions, detox from blaming, controlling, interrupting, yelling, and so many other negative relationship habits, clear up grudges, misunderstandings, resentment and so much more…
In today’s episode, I have a wonderful conversation with Cinthia Hiett, also a relationship expert, who so delightfully shares how to address really being who we are, how properly adulting ensures more harmony in our relationship, how to deal with codependency, boundary issues, spouse immaturity and conflict in our relationship. And how self-reparenting is a breath of fresh air for the relationship, and the world at large…

As we awaken to the reality that everything is interconnected and that we are all interconnected, we can relax in knowing that everything can be easier including our relationship…
Why? Because then it’s much easier to feel our connection, to relate to each other in more positive ways, to collaborate, to have compassion and SO much more…
When we embrace the idea of interconnectedness, and see how everything relates to everything else, how everything is in relationship with everything else, then we can realize that we are part of something bigger. We are all part of the same thing, Life. We are all part of the same Consciousness. We are One.
Through this interconnectedness:
When we are generous or greedy with one, we are so in all.
When we are kind or mean with one, we are so in all.
When we love or hate one, we do so in all…
And so on…
This has massive implications for self-love, partner-love, and other-love…
When we love, we love.
Let’s make this a priority in our lives…
Let’s raise our Oneness, Unity, Love Consciousness…
In today’s episode, I have an enlightening and informative conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Dunne about the concept of interconnectedness, unity consciousness, and implications for a more harmonious and loving relationship and a more sustainable future…
Hope this information serves you and helps you get on the path to your Successful Relationship and Meaningful Life.

Happy Valentine’s Day, and happy Loving today and all year around! I think we all know that if we don’t nurture our relationship that it withers and dies… This is why I love Valentine’s Day so much.
~ It serves as a reminder to step up our loving game
~ It helps us make a deposit in our love account
~ It helps us reset and recommit to our Love…
Love is always there but can become very illusive if we are not in touch with it… ✨
All the commercial aspect of the holiday aside, this is a wonderful time to refocus on our couple goals, relationship nurturing, and connection habits.
And, depending on the status of our relationship this might be a great time to invest in taking our loving to new heights – to rekindle the spark, spice things up, and enhance passion…
In today’s episode, I fly solo for a robust episode on addressing culprits to low desire, upleveling relationship dynamics, and meeting targeted relationship needs – for connection and passion…

We are all aware the importance of food to our health and wellbeing… But I find it fascinating how there is so much intricacy to eating well and getting the proper nutrition for our body. And, how food impacts so many aspects of our life ranging from our energy level, vitality, immunity, recovery, sleep, female cycle, beauty, even our brain function, mood, and resilience and so much more… Wow!
How we engage with our environment, our habits and routines, and the relationship we have with others AND ourselves also impact our internal laboratory and how we make use of our food…
Using food well for our overall health and wellness, vitality, longevity, happiness, and enjoyment of life is a key aspect of creating our best life. Putting anything in our mouths to satiate hunger and get a boost of energy just doesn’t cut it.
How we go about our food and eating in and of itself is impactful as well. It’s super important to have a great relationship with food for us to get the most from our diet…
In today’s episode, I have a very informative conversation with Brigitte Zeitlin about eating healthy, wellness habits, the self-care practice, and having a great relationship with food.
Hope this information serves you and helps you get on the path to your Successful Relationship and Meaningful Life.
