A counterintuitive approach to navigating dating and building relationships in the digital age. This is for the woman who feels disenchanted by more common dating rhetoric and sometimes even questions if she wants a relationship at all. She already lives a rich, full life. She would like to share that with someone, but not at the expense of herself. What gives? That’s where we’re digging in.

    On falling for colleagues and bosses who make us feel really 'seen.' | Ep 153

    Years ago, I fell hard for a boss. Initially, I might have used the word love. That I fell in love with him. Now much older, knowing what love actually means and entails, it wasn't love. It was infatuation. But my feelings of infatuation were quite significant when it came to understanding my bigger romantic hunger and obstacles. I have worked with many a client who has experienced the same thing — some merely admired male colleagues from afar, while some entered full**-blown relationships. The consistency of this pattern among my clients (and, well, myself), hard-**working, hero daughters, is key. The draw to these types of men in these types of scenarios is very reflective of the way we long to be seen and loved, but not helpful when it comes to securing a committed, fulfilling relationship. In this episode I'm covering: What drives our attraction in professional environmentsWhat creates those heightened feelings of obsession and infatuationHow, even if the relationship isn't romantic, we get some emotional fulfillment, often causing us to not seek it elsewhereHow these "relationships," even when they result in affairs, feel "safe"How we can break down this pattern to understand what's begging to be healed (on our own), and why it's serving as an obstacle to finding true partnershipOther episodes mentioned: Ep 124 Why does sex with the people that are so wrong for us feel so good? With therapist Julia Zwerin.

    Two things I wish I'd done when past relationships, situation-ships, and flings came to an end | Ep 151

    Tis the season, or so it seems, to reflect on all I wish I'd done differently. While these breakups and ruptures I speak of are from a few years back, the things I wish I'd done around them to better integrate the pain and learn from my own mistakes, still (very much) ring true in life. First and foremost, I wish I hadn't mainlined so much self help content, such that I drowned out my own lived experience from the loss. Second, I wish I'd had more intimate and difficult conversations with those that I hurt, those I faced conflict with, and those that I was losing.

    A former client of mine has a baby on her own, by choice, but still plans to "find love on her timeline." Here's her story. | Ep 150

    Many of the women I work with fall into their late 30s and early 40s, that spot when if one desires children, things can feel a bit precarious. Will I meet someone in time? Will the eggs I've frozen actually function? While I've had a few clients loosely entertain pursuing motherhood on their own, Megan was the first to actually do it. But it came much more from a place of pure desire, rather than something she felt forced into doing because time was running out. Her decision to do so brings up some great questions and points around the limitations of a traditional marriage, the freedoms found in having a child on one's own, and the desire to pursue motherhood in advance of meeting your partner. This is part one of our rich conversation. https://claraartschwager.substack.com/ Work with me Privately Connect on Instagram Website Podcast Production by James Jorge

    Let your (dating) life hurt. Like really, really hurt.| Ep 149

    It always astounds me how often clients will say to me: "I know, I know. I just need to get OVER this." To which I reply, "It sounds like that really hurts. I don't think you do." Our ability to override and deny the truth of our inner worlds and emotional landscapes in this heavily systemized dating world is doing more harm than good. Frankly, it's not doing any good at all! If you're someone who hops from date to date (or relationship problem), loves to busy yourself with work, social engagements, etc, to keep any more messy feelings at bay, this episode is for you. https://claraartschwager.substack.com/ Work with me Privately Connect on Instagram Website Podcast Production by James Jorge

    How to mine your past or current (I do this in my marriage!) relationships for limiting patterns | Ep 148

    Tis the season to REFLECT. That's the heart of today's episode. I love this time of year for getting cozy, sipping something delicious, and reflecting on the year. In today's episode I'm walking you through the exact exercise I use with clients to mine their current and past relationships, crushes, flings, etc, for patterns. Once we know our patterns, we can work to shift them to achieve, essentially, more of the life experience we actually want.

    The thing(s) we miss when we're stuck in feelings of "I'm behind..." | Ep 147

    The fear of running out of time or feeling behind (of peers, friends, societal perceptions) is valid, to be sure. But our focus on that feeling blinds us from what's actually there, i.e. what we actually need to address, feel, process, confront, work on, in order to change the direction and future of our romantic lives.  Work with me Privately Connect on Instagram Website Podcast Production by James Jorge

    How taking everything on at work, ignoring the dissatisfaction in your job, and just going through the motions of life influences the quality of your relationships | Ep 146

    Are you the planner, the doer, the one who takes on everything? Maybe it's really hard for you to delegate, or you fear if you aren't the one doing it everything will fall apart or go to shit?  The tricky thing about that behavior — while it makes us feel like we're in control — is that it dramatically limits the love and care we can receive from others, and the general pleasure we experience in our life. That includes the satisfaction we get from our work or the types of relationships (from friendships to romantic, and even professional) Work with me Privately Connect on Instagram Website Podcast Production by James Jorge
