    Is He Worthy of Your Time? Red Flags, Real Love & Dating After Divorce with Dave McLachlan

    #56. The chemistry is real. But is the future you imagine together real, too? When you’re beginning again after heartbreak or divorce, a new connection can feel like a fresh start. But how do you recognise genuine compatibility? How do you stay open to love while protecting your time, your peace and the woman you’ve worked so hard to become? In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, Juliana De Souza welcomes Dave McLachlan, relationship coach, author and creator of Is He Worthy? and the W.O.R.T.H.Y. Method, for an honest conversation about choosing a partner with greater clarity and self-trust. Together, we explore:• Chemistry versus compatibility—and falling for someone’s potential.• Recognising red flags before becoming deeply invested.• Why consistent actions matter more than beautiful promises.• Setting boundaries and honouring your non-negotiables.• Dating after divorce without losing yourself.• How Dave’s W.O.R.T.H.Y. Method approaches relationship assessment. If you’ve ever explained away someone’s behaviour, waited for them to change or wondered whether you were asking for too much, this conversation invites you to pause and ask: “Is this relationship worthy of my time—and the life I am rebuilding?” You deserve room for love, connection and a future in which you can be fully yourself.

    Trying to Control the Uncontrollable: Let Go Without Giving Up

    #55. How much of your peace have you spent trying to make life go according to plan? An internet outage. A cancelled interview. A relationship that ends. A job that changes overnight. Some disruptions are small; others reshape our lives. Each can leave us struggling with the distance between what we expected and what actually happened. In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, Juliana de Souza explores the exhaustion of trying to control what lies beyond our reach—and how we can begin to let go while still taking responsibility for our next step. An honest conversation about disappointment, uncertainty, and choosing where to put your energy when life refuses to follow your script. You don’t have to like what happened to decide how you move forward. 🎧 Listen, reflect, and share with someone carrying the weight of things they cannot change.

    Shadow Work & Emotional Triggers: Why You React—and How to Respond Differently

    #53. Why can one comment, one rejection, or one uncomfortable moment stir up so much emotion? In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, we explore shadow work and emotional triggers: the parts of ourselves we avoid, the feelings we struggle to accept, and the patterns that invite us to look deeper. What might your reactions be telling you? How can you become curious about your feelings without judging yourself? And what changes when you pause before responding? This is an invitation to understand yourself more deeply, take responsibility for your responses, and bring compassion to the woman you are becoming. When I heal, you heal. When I rise, you rise. And when we rise together, we help create a kinder world for all of us. Hosted by Juliana de Souza. 📚 Continue your journey with Returning Home to Yourself: English edition:

    Let Them, Then Choose You.

    #52. What if your next chapter no longer had to wait for someone else to understand you, apologize, or change? In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, I explore what we can release—and what remains ours. Let them have their opinions. Let their actions reveal their priorities. Then choose your boundaries, your peace, and the life you want to build. We talk about over-explaining, waiting for apologies, and reclaiming the energy we spend trying to control other people’s choices. Through a simple reflection practice, I invite you to ask: “What can I stop trying to make them do, and what can I choose for myself today?” For every woman navigating midlife, separation, or a new beginning: another person’s choices do not determine your worth. 📚 Continue your journey with my books: Returning Home to Yourself — Englishhttps://amzn.eu/d/00LCpzIV Rückkehr zu dir selbst — Germanhttps://amzn.eu/d/0fbrNaxD Explore all my books, including Bitter, Betrayed & Becoming and Rise of the Queen Phoenix:https://rise-of-the-queen-phoenix-books.hn2ws87cdh.chatgpt.site Follow Rise of the Queen Phoenix on Spotify and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it.

    #51. Returning Home to Yourself: Who Are You Beyond Your Responsibilities? When everyone needs something from you, it’s easy to lose touch with what you need—and with the woman you are beyond your responsibilities. In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, we explore how to reconnect with your identity, make space for your desires, and rediscover the interests and dreams you’ve put aside. Through gentle reflection and small, intentional choices, you can begin returning home to yourself. Who are you beyond being a mother, a partner, a professional, or the person everyone relies on? What brings you joy? What do you want for this next chapter? You can care deeply for others and still make room for yourself. 📖 Continue your journey with my book, Returning Home to Yourself, available on Amazon: English edition:

    Their Opinions Don’t Pay Your Bills: Stop Seeking Approval & Start Building Your Dream

    #50. How much of your life have you put on hold because you’re afraid of what people will say? In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, Juliana de Souza explores the fear of being visible, the cost of seeking approval, and the courage it takes to believe in your dreams before anyone else does. We talk about recognising useful feedback, valuing your work, asking to be paid, and turning ambition into practical action. Because attention doesn’t automatically become income—and building your future takes more than wishing. If you’re reinventing yourself in midlife, starting a business, or ready to stop shrinking to keep others comfortable, this episode is your invitation to take the next step. Let yourself be visible. Let yourself learn. Let yourself earn. 📚 Continue your journey with my books—shop on Amazon: • Rise of the Queen Phoenix

    The Woman Who Won’t Play Along: Sad, Crazy, or Bad?

    #49. When a woman stops pleasing everyone, people often rush to explain her away: she must be sad, crazy, or bad. But what if she’s simply making her own choices? In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, I talk about the labels women face when they refuse the roles expected of them—and what it takes to trust yourself when others don’t approve.
