Love Life Connection

In today’s show, my caller is unsure of how to ask for what she wants and needs in her relationship without being bitchy or naggy. She’s also got these other questions swirling through her head, “Is he right for me?” “How can I ask for what I want without trying to change him?” and “What’s happening long term in this relationship?” All of these questions can feel overwhelming and cloud the issue at hand which, getting what she needs. https://veronicagrant.com/episode155 Hosted on Acast.

You’re going to be so inspired after listening to my interview with Kristen. If you believe now or have ever believed that you’re too broken or just not fit for a healthy relationship, this episode just might leave you in tears.

You had a date! And it went well! Yay! Cue in the stress around the texting game and getting to the next date. This is what my caller Michelle is struggling with. As usual in my coaching calls, this isn’t just about the game and ‘how to text.’ https://veronicagrant.com/second-date/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is a question that came from one of my clients on Instagram, and honestly, I can’t believe I don’t have an episode on this yet! Speaking of Instagram, I’ll have take requests for podcast episode topics, so make sure you follow me there so you can tell me your requests too! You can do that here. https://veronicagrant.com/episode152 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today my caller on the show is dealing with a lot of fear around the new man she’s dating. She’s terrified of rejection, and because she doesn’t quite understand how she got herself into previous abusive relationships, she’s afraid she’s going to mess this one up. https://veronicagrant.com/episode151 Hosted on Acast.

I always love my conversations with Veronica, honestly, they could go on forever! But we had to cut ourselves off to make this a reasonable length podcast. Here’s what you’ll learn: How to pull your birth chart and why your sun sign is only a small part of what the stars have in store What your rising and moon signs are (and why you want to pay attention them too!) What’s in store for the stars for love and money in the beginning of 2019 https://veronicagrant.com/episode150 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode is a bit different from what we usually talk about on the show, but it’s probably not surprising to hear that struggling to eat healthy can absolutely affect your relationship to men. Because there’s something underneath all those struggles, and what’s underneath is probably the same thing. If you struggle to “stay on track,” not emotionally eat, or eat what you know you “should,” this episode is a must listen. https://veronicagrant.com/episode149 Hosted on Acast.

This time of year is hard for a lot of people (despite what the Christmas movies and commercials convey), but I know how hard and triggering it can be. In this episode, you’ll learn what to do when you get triggered, how to deal with jealousy, and what to do instead of texting your ex. https://veronicagrant.com/episode148 Hosted on Acast.

If you feel like you’re doing all “the work,” but nothing’s changing, I want you to know you’re not alone. You’re not a loser, you’re not broken, and you’re not destined to end up with duds. I can’t say exactly why things aren’t going the way you want them to without talking to you personally, but my guess is you’ll get some good ideas after listening to my episode with Nicole. Like you, she feels like she’s doing all the work, but is frustrated because she’s still attracting narcissists. Take a listen to this episode, and then come let me know what you think over on Instagram. www.veronicagrant.com/episode147   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As single women, it’s so easy to consciously or unconsciously to believe your life is about finding The One. So you spend your time, energy, and money doing just that. The problem with that is, it’s not who you are, and if you put all your resources towards it, you’ll probably begin to identify with it. But you’re not a woman who lives to date! My guest today in her work helps women to connect with each other, share their stories, and birth creative projects into the world. This turns 2-D living into 3-D living, so that when you do enter into your next relationship, you don’t lose yourself in the process. https://veronicagrant.com/episode146 Hosted on Acast.

My caller today is struggling with a situation in her relationship where her partner still has contact with an ex. This brings up all kinds of old fear in her, and is leaving her waiting for the other shoe to drop. Of course, this question isn’t really about what to do in this situation, rather it’s about trusting yourself. So in our call, I help Juliette flex her self-trust muscle; and you’ll learn some good self-trust tools along the way too. https://veronicagrant.com/episode145 Hosted on Acast.

This week’s episode is just me, and the core of the work I do with clients. It’s called inner child work, and if you want to find love, doing this work is non-negotiable. In fact, I’m very clear with all my potential clients that they need to be on board with doing this. Because talking about profiles, texting, what you’re wearing or how you’re meeting people isn’t going to help you find love. Find a date? Sure. But if you have patterns and blocks that are holding you back emotionally, I don’t care about awesome your profile is or how many dates you go on. Nothing will change. Since I get so many questions about this, I finally created an episode where I break all this inner child work down. So if you’re not sure what I mean by inner child work, or you’re not sure how it applies to you, or how to get started, you’ll love this episode. After the episode, make sure you get started with this healing work and grab my free Inner Child Meditation. https://veronicagrant.com/episode144 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/

Vulnerability is required when it comes to creating the relationship you want. I rarely say you *have* to do anything because I want you to create your life and relationship on your own terms. But if you want the kind of love and relationships I talk about here, you must be vulnerable. My caller today is terrified of being vulnerable, and ultimately of being seen. It creates fear and anxiety that’s even affecting her health. https://veronicagrant.com/episode143 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, I interview my dear friend Norma on how she went from crazy stressed out TV producer to meditation teacher. If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know I’m a huge believer in meditation. Meditation can literally transform how you react in relationships and dating, and in turn who you attract. Even if you feel like you’ve tried meditation or that it’s not for you, Normal will walk you through meditation A to Z, and what you can do instead of meditation isn’t for you. veronicagrant.com/episode142 Hosted on Acast.

I’m so glad my caller today brought this question to the podcast: Am I experiencing karma? If so, how do I get out of it? The most common definition of karma is “what comes around is what goes around.” But that’s not what karma is, at all. Karma is actually the thing you’re soul is born with that it needs to learn or overcome in order to reach your soul’s dharma, ie, destiny. My caller today is convinced that because she cheated in her last relationship, and he was nothing but incredible to her, that it’s all her fault her relationship ended. Walking around with this kind of guilt will always keep you in the past and never allow you to move forward and meet the person you want. https://veronicagrant.com/episode141 Hosted on Acast.

This week’s episode is just me, and I’m sharing a BIG lesson I learned in Bali. I won’t give it away here, but I’ll just say: learning this thing about myself  in Bali was really hard for me, and quite frankly, I was embarrassed this was still a “thing” for me. Aren’t I more evolved or conscious? I guess that’s what this work is all about. I’m sharing this profound lesson with you because I think it’s also going to help you find love. If you feel like you’re doing all the things you’re supposed to be doing, but haven’t had the success in love you want, then this episode is a *must* listen. https://veronicagrant.com/episode140 Hosted on Acast.

If you’ve never been in a healthy relationship, it can be really easy to buy into the story that you don’t know how to have a healthy relationship. You don’t know what to do, how to be, or what to say. For my caller, this created so much fear that a part of her just wanted to stay single so she didn’t have to deal with the constant fear and self doubt that she’s screw everything up. As I coach Joanne, you’ll see that her question isn’t just about how to be in a healthy relationship, the question in fact, goes much deeper than that. As I coach my caller today on the show, here’s what you’ll learn: The big secret everyone knows but no one is talking about in healthy relationships The one question to ask yourself when you keep telling yourself the same old story Why you’re not able to trust yourself in your new relationship (and what to do about it) https://veronicagrant.com/episode139 Hosted on Acast.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know how disturbed I am by Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, and the aftermath of multiple sexual misconduct allegations against him. Look, I’ll be honest, I was never going to like him because we fundamentally do not agree on a woman’s right to choose. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, so I can’t be *too* upset about that. Yes, I don’t agree, and if even if he doesn’t support choice, why does he feel like he can dictate what I can or can’t do? Despite that, it’s forgivable. Anti-choice is still a hallmark of the Republican party and he was nominated and supported by Republicans. What is unforgivable, what is appalling is the GOP reaction to allegations on his sexual misconduct. Looking the other way, using the “boys will be boys” excuse, and rushing his vote through is deplorable. Given that, I couldn’t think of a better episode to bring out from the archives than my chat with Belinda. The personal is political, and the political is personal. This Supreme Cou

My caller Nadia is calling in because she’s been in an on again off again relationship for the past 7 years that she wants to get out of for good. If you’ve been in a relationship like that before, I’m sure you can relate. You think you’re done for good, you know he’s not right for you… But then... loneliness hits, something happens at work, and you need some good old fashion comfort and something that feels familiar. Your head is saying “no no no,” but your heart is saying, “Ohhh but I need him! This time will be different! In relationships like this, rarely is willpower or “snapping out of it” going to work. As I coach my caller today on the show, here’s what you’ll learn: The question to ask yourself when you feel that feeling of wanting to go back How to start the inner child work How to shift your coping mechanisms so your default isn’t going back to him https://veronicagrant.com/episode137 Hosted on Acast.

This is one of the most common questions I get, and I have to say, I have a love/hate relationship with the question. Love because when someone asks me this, love because it gives me an excellent view as to where they are emotionally and mentally. And hate (but not really hate) because it’s a question that has the askers playing small. So since it’s the #1 question I get, I thought I’d finally create a podcast I could direct everyone who has this question too. This probably won’t surprise you if you know me already, some of my answer may be what you expect, and some surely won’t be. https://veronicagrant.com/episode136 Hosted on Acast.
