In My Non-Expert Opinion

205: Have you ever found yourself in a partnership where it felt like the other person spoke an entirely different language? Do they run when you are begging for more affection or vice versa? Well, first of all, you’re not crazy. You have different attachment styles.When it comes to my career, friendships, and other aspects of my life, I feel very secure and confident. But, for reasons we will get into today, dating and relationships have always been a sore spot that garnered a lot of shame. If you see yourself in that familiar shame spiral - this episode is for you.Today, my attachment coach, Sarah Cohan, joins us for a deep dive into Attachment Theory. We’re breaking down each type. We’ll take you through why certain things trigger one attachment style and not the other to how different styles can move towards a more secure attachment. This episode will prompt deep reflection and provide a way forward that doesn’t look like a constant repeat of old patterns, but instead, one full of clarity and relief.Sarah is kindly offering a free list of scripts to use during difficult moments to communicate needs in any type of relationship. They are based on the five love languages and will help listeners show up securely in their relationships. Check them out here!Check out Sarah’s podcast LIT AF to continue the conversation!

204: We tend to turn towards meaning-making systems like human design and astrology when sh!t hits the fan. But what if we learned how to harness our energy and move in alignment in our day-to-day lives?Without waiting for a crisis, we might find ourselves hearing the call to write a book. Or allowing ourselves that extra day to respond to that email.Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Shayna Cornelius and Dana Stiles, Human Design experts, best-selling authors, and co-founders of DayLuna™! After making a pact to live in alignment with their human design types for one month, they both noticed a massive shift.Now, they’re bringing conscious entrepreneurship to their students and team.

201: Is your outlook on “success” fueled by super masculine, rigid beliefs? A lot of times, society markets success to us as numbers, status and title. But what would it mean if you start looking at your success a little more spiritually?Todays guest, Liz Tran, grew up very poor in Section 8 housing and made her way to become an executive at a venture capital firm. She was making six figures and, by all intents and purposes, she had reached “success.”But she soon realized that her definition of success wasn’t working for her. Reaching a new income level didn’t translate to her happiness or anyone else’s. She wanted to impact the world beyond making a few men richer.Liz generously invites us into the winding road of her path to success. And the road started with changing her definition of success entirely.Liz Tran is the founder of Reset, where she works as an executive coach to CEOs and founders of fast-growing companies. Liz spent a decade in venture capital and tech, and she is also a meditation teacher and Reiki master. She hosts the podcast, Reset with Liz Tran, and her book, THE KARMA OF SUCCESS, is out NOW.
