Themes: Healing, Transformation, Relationships, Betrayal, Infidelity Summary: Buckle up, friends, because in today’s episode we’re taking you on a ride. I have been consistently impressed with today’s guest and I was so inspired by her story that I had to have her on the podcast to share it with you. For comedian and content creator Manon Mathews, comedy is life. It took more than luck for her hilarious antics on Vine to open the door for her career. Years of routinely embarrassing herself, improv classes, some stints as an amateur standup comic, unrelenting dedication, and a life-altering night out that forced her to change her ways—that’s what set her on the path to manifesting her dream life.  Join me and Manon as she shares her story of a whirlwind romance, the betrayal that shattered her reality and the incredible transformation that followed.    Discover: The importance of honouring your intuition and trusting energy The lessons and growth that can come from infidelity and betrayal   Links: Instagram: @manonmathews & @manonfestation Twitter: @manonmathews TikTok: @manonmathews   Sponsors: Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at organifi.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Themes: Death, Breakups, Relationships, Boundaries, Learning to Let Go, Self-Reflection, Relational Endings Death. Learning to let go. It’s easier said than done. You didn’t fight hard enough for this relationship.  These are words and phrases that haunt us when we shift towards a new phase of our lives, whether it’s professionally, romantically or both.  When we find ourselves at the end of a relationship we often feel that we need to fight so we can preserve the relationship. We feel that we need to give that extra push to preserve the love that once was. But what if...the best way to fight for the relationship is to let it go? What if...the best way to honour each other is to honour yourselves first?  When we find ourselves at these crossroads where do we go? What do we need to do to move on and grow?   Discover:  How we mistake letting go with giving up.  Letting go of people, behaviours, patterns that are not in alignment is a superpower. Relationships are a potent invitation to your expansion and growth.  We’re not honouring our worth when we don’t show up.  Love is meant to teach us, to prepare us for connection that is within our highest alignment.  Sponsors: Organifi | Visit organifi.com/createthelove to receive 20% off all products with code CREATETHELOVE!
