Are you effectively communicating your needs to the people around you? Do you even know what your own needs are? We talk about why it's important to take time to know your own needs, how to speak directly and honestly about what your needs are and  how to trust the people around you to show up. You are deserving of the life you dream of but how are you ever going to get it if you're constantly hoping other will just figure it out for you without you taking the time to communicate it effectively!

I’ll share what has come through for Aaron and I this last year while we took a pause on this podcast. Pauses are so needed throughout our lives and can be so fruitful if we allow that space. But isn’t taking a pause bad? NO! It allows SPACE for inner work, healing, intuition, guidance, growth and pleasure. We “can’t do it all” all the time, so what needs to be paused in your life right now? What could potentially come though during that pause?

We all have a divine masculine and divine feminine in us that needs to be balanced in our unique authenticity. This is where we will experience the most energy, purpose, fulfillment and pleasure out of life. But what happens when we are in a relationship that isn't balanced or if we ourselves aren't balanced?  Join us while we start the conversation around how we can find our divine balance and the side effects, like separation anxiety and overwhelm that can stem from being in an unbalanced relationship. We read a page out of Jakal El-Malik's book 'Entering Her Vortex- Healing the masculine-feminine dynamic in relationships using the laws of divine magnetism' Buy the book here: https://www.jmalikteachings.com/products/entering-her-vortex Follow him on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jmaliktaughtme/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Also...  Traver Boehm who has helped my husband start his reconnection to his primal, masculine and balanced self.  Buy his book 'Man UnCivilized' here: https://www.amazon.com/Man-UNcivilized-Traver-Boehm/dp/0578945061/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Follow him on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/traverboehm/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Follow Aaron to have more conversation about men, healing their masculine and feminine and how to show up for the women in your life best by showing up for yourself first.  https://www.instagram.com/mr.__morton/

Parenting… am I right? We LOVE our 3 babies and find them to be one of our greatest accomplishments and joys. We are raising (to the best of our ability) genuinely good, empathetic, self aware little humans. We know that the only way to help them know who they are, so that they can show up in this world with confident self awareness and love is for us to truly get to know them. We understand that sounds silly because of course parents know their children, but how often do we really get to know their unique reactions, responses, deep feelings, natural beliefs, likes and dislikes without us asserting what we believe is best for them and trying to shape them into who we want them to be? Join the conversation with us in episode 10 where we talk about intuitive parenting and what we have learned so far in our 13 years is being parents.  instagram.com/how_did_we_get_here_podcast Email us at [email protected]

Just when you think you have it all planned out, this happens... Shenanigans! Follow along with us in this episode where we share how to navigate the times where you think you have everything lined out and something has foiled it. Sometimes it's not as planned, but it can always be an adventure. We will talk through turning our best intended plans that don't go as planned into shenanigans instead of negative memories.   instagram: how_did_we_get_here_podcast

Life happens and the thing is... it never stops! It is better that we learn how to navigate and have each others backs. This is how we create a strong bond that is founded in love and support for one another. Join us while we talk about how we stay connected, happy and recharged as a team even when you're both in an extreme exhaustion. Work, kids, health, family and everything in between is no excuse to push away from your person. Let's dive into some of the reasons we have a hard time supporting each other and how to overcome that.  Instagram: how_did_we_get_here_podcast

Have you ever felt like your partner or the people in your life aren't paying attention to you, you're low energy and feel lonely and lacking? Maybe you're on the opposite side of the spectrum and feel overwhelmed, exhausted and unappreciated with the weight of others feelings on your shoulders. This happens so often when doing life together as an extrovert and an introvert. Join us while we discuss how knowing and understanding yourself is the BEST thing you can do to learn how to fill your own energy tank. Only when we know what our own needs are can we then share that with the people who want to best love us.  So can opposites have an amazing, full and thriving relationship when they are soooo different? We think so. Join us here and let's talk about it together. Be sure to follow and review this pod cast! DM and follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/how_did_we_get_here_podcast/
