Smart Dating Academy - The Podcast

In today's episode, Bela discusses how to "love bravely" with Dr. Alexandra Solomon.  She is a couples therapist, a Northwestern University professor, and a brilliant mind.  In this podcast we talk about: 1) What does it take to "love bravely"? 2) Why is relational self-awareness so important? 3) How to talk to yourself (hint - if you wouldn't say something to your best friend, you shouldn't say it to yourself) 4) What are the 3 patterns we can take on from our family of origin? 5) What are the lists to make to determine what you value from your family, and what you don't? 6) Why communication is so key to love and sex 7) How to share feedback with your partner (this is SO good, and can avoid dreadful arguments) Dr. Solomon is the author of "Loving Bravely", "Taking Sexy Back", and the host of the "Reimagining Love" podcast!

Bela has a beautiful conversation with Dawn Anderson, Smart Dating Academy client, who lost her husband Mike in a tragic farming accident.  After a dark period of grief and change, Dawn reached out to Bela for a coaching session, and then worked with Smart Dating Academy to find "Moussaka Matthew" -- the new love of her life.   Listen to how she did it all, from her first sighting of Bela on Steve Harvey, to getting engaged at the Eiffel Tower in 2022!   This story will make you know that true love can happen not just once, but twice. Dawn has written a book about her grief journey, called "The Darkness and the Stars."  It's truly a story of loss and hope.   All proceeds go to the Mike Anderson Foundation , a charitable organization that was created in his honor, to spread light and help others in need.    A link to purchase her book is here:  https://bit.ly/3iVbXtk Join our free newsletter database by signing up here:  www.smartdatingacademy.com/contact Follow us on Instagram at @smartdatingacademy Schedule your consultation with us here!   We are on a waiting list, and would love to help you!  https://www.smartdatingacademy.com/11-coaching/coaching-call-with-bela
