With 69-84% of women out there struggling with their relationship bodies, it's clear that this is a pervasive problem and something we need to be addressing. So where do we begin? First we have to understand where it comes from, then we begin to change it.

The conversation last week sparked a lot of interest. A resounding "that is my life" from the ladies in the crowd. So while I had planned to take the pod conversation in another direction, I found myself instead taking a little pause to give it all a little more thought. The question I’ve been sitting with and digging into: WHY?

Why are things seemingly changing and yet barely changing at all? Why are the men who want to support change still lagging behind in their actual change and contributions and how are we, as women potentially contributing to our own problem?

Today I’m going to give you the perspective that come through the work I do. How this ties into EMDR, healing, breaking patterns and change.

Women, whether they are single, married, mothers or not are doing more of unpaid work in our world then men. This is true from age 18 on, peaking at 35 to 45 years. 75% of unpaid work is done by women. Globally, that 11 billion hours daily. Statistics show that women are doing at least ⅔ of the work to care for home and family on average, regardless of their their employment status, regardless of how much they make. So what can we do? Give a listen.

Today we’re taking a different angle on health, wellbeing and longevity. She has reshaped the way I’m looking at health, becuase not only are her findings valuable and relevant, they are showing us that human connection is undeniably a cornerstone of health. It is more impactful than genetics, healthcare and our health behaviors (like how we eat, how we take care of oursevles) in predicting how long we will live. Those with social bonds are 50% more likely to live longer. Listen in to learn how.

Today we are talking about somatic healing, interoception, that internal felt sense, can become a compass for not only healing, but for living more aware. We'll also talk about how emodiment, that thing that so many with body image challenges fear, is actually the antidote to body dissatifaction and could be the answer to feeling more satisfied in your life.

How do we feel better in our skin? That's what this one's all about.

Today we are talking about Emotional Spending.

Money is a whole thing for us as humans and how we spend can be a pretty charged subject. Studies suggest that about 70% of us have struggled with emotional spending, but I’d wager that that number should be higher. Almost 6% of us have a shopping addiction or compulsive buying disorder. Whether or not this is diagnosis level, even occasional bouts of it can wreak havoc on us.

Today we are talking about why we buy. Emotional spending, impulse buying and more. Where the patterns develop and what we can begin to do to understand and change them.
