Emotional Intelligence for Better Relationships
Friendships are created and can last a lifetime, but they can also disintegrate, never to be rekindled.
What makes a friendship? How do you know if your friends are truly the ones that will be there with you and for you through all the good and bad times? In this first segment, I tackle these questions head on. [Read more…]
Tune in to every other New Year’s podcast if you want to hear about resolutions. I’d rather talk about something you can think about the entire year when it comes to improving your life. Today’s episode is all about compatibility and how you can look at any problem in life and narrow it down to a compatibility issue. Sometimes taking out the emotional part of the equation can be helpful if you want to follow the life you want to create for yourself.
I realize emotions are what drive us and motivate us and make us whole, but what if your emotions are also what keep you exactly where you are? Are you fighting against the current to try and make things better? Are you stuck? Is your partner compatible with you? Does he or she complimentary or quite the opposite? What about your job? What about that car you drive around, is that compatible?
Today’s episode is all about the philosophy for living life this whole next year. Follow it and maybe you’ll find yourself taking steps that support you instead of ones that hold you back.

As she spent less time at home, he got more concerned but also gave her the space she asked for. Soon, the wedding was called off and she was moving out.
What went wrong? What could he have done differently? [Read more…]
Giving can feel so good but receiving can too, so why do so many people have trouble receiving?
Do you reject gifts or other offers? If so, why would you take the honor to give away from the giver? If you’ve not thought about it like that before, segment one is for you.
In segment two, I read a letter from a woman who feels like she’s wasted three years of her life with her emotionally abusive boyfriend. [Read more…]
Why would you cheat if you’re in love and have a great sex life? It’s not like sex is missing from your life, so what’s the point of going outside the relationship for it? Sure, perhaps a new body, a new experience, and even newfound pleasures sound appealing, but are those enough to risk flushing your current relationship down the toilet?
I recently received a letter from a woman who cheated on her husband. However, there was nothing wrong in her current relationship. They were madly in love, and their sex life was amazing. But, she cheated anyway. Shortly after, she felt awful about it and fessed up to him. [Read more…]
