    Life Check Yourself EP 480: Understanding Triggers and Building Lasting Relationships with Dr. Dr. Mary Giffara

    Guest Introduction: In this empowering episode, Dr. Mary Giffara, an internationally renowned therapist, author, and speaker, shares her expertise on creating and sustaining fulfilling relationships. With years of experience helping couples restore connection, Dr. Giffara introduces key strategies from her book, Two by Two on the Arc: Four Strategies for Lasting Love. Her insights illuminate how personal growth, emotional regulation, and intentional communication can transform relationships into a thriving partnership.     Main Takeaways: Embrace Self-Awareness to Navigate Emotional Triggers Leave Space for Individual Growth Within Relationships Operate on Multiple Levels: Logic, Emotion, and Sensation     Main Topics: 1. Understanding Emotional Triggers (Timestamp: 12:45) Explanation: Emotional triggers are often rooted in past experiences, not present relationships. Recognizing when reactions stem from unresolved feelings enables individuals to respond with intention rather than emotion. This practice fosters healthier interactions and reduces repetitive conflicts. Notable Quote: "Someone does something, and it triggers something in me that predates them—maybe my mother, my last partner, or an earlier experience." Impact: By addressing the root cause of emotional triggers, individuals can take responsibility for their reactions and avoid misplacing blame, paving the way for deeper connection.     2. Leave Space for Love and Growth (Timestamp: 24:10) Explanation: Successful relationships depend on creating space for individuality. A healthy dynamic allows each partner to grow independently while maintaining a shared bond. Over-fusion—when one partner subsumes the other’s emotions or thoughts—stifles this balance. Notable Quote: "Space for you to be you, space for me to be me, and space for us to be us." Impact: This approach respects autonomy and mutual growth, fostering an environment where both partners can thrive emotionally and intellectually.     3. Engage All Three Levels of Communication (Timestamp: 36:20) Explanation: Dr. Giffara emphasizes the importance of operating on all three levels of communication: logical reasoning, emotional expression, and physical sensations. Neglecting any of these dimensions creates imbalances in how partners relate and respond to one another. Notable Quote: "Leave space to meet reason, emotion, and sensation. Don’t mix them up." Impact: Integrating these elements of communication ensures holistic connection and prevents misunderstandings rooted in incomplete interactions.     Closing Thoughts: Dr. Giffara’s strategies challenge the notion that love alone is enough to sustain a relationship. By focusing on self-awareness, mutual growth, and comprehensive communication, individuals can transform how they engage with their partners and themselves.   Visit us: MarniBattista.Com Ready To Create Your Corporate Escape Plan?

Start there, and you calm the nervous system." Explanation: Practicing conscious breathing allows for emotional clarity, creating space to respond rather than react impulsively, even in high-stress environments.

Resilience and the Power of Acceptance (47:50) Resilience is built gradually by accepting current emotions and taking small, deliberate steps toward growth. Joy comes from embracing what is, rather than pushing through with force. Quote: "Resilience isn’t about toughness; it’s about recognizing your limits and gently expanding them."

Chris Gillis, a seasoned relationship coach, brings a wealth of insights into how communication, emotional intelligence, and unspoken power dynamics shape our connections. From discussing passive aggression to addressing personal growth in relationships, this conversation is packed with wisdom on how to foster stronger, more fulfilling partnerships.     Main Takeaways: Communication is a Superpower: Clear expectations prevent resentment and foster appreciation.

Self-Worth Drives Connection: Confidence in one’s value encourages healthier dynamics.     Main Topics with Timestamps: Passive Aggression and Resentment in Relationships (18:05) Clear communication about roles and expectations prevents the build-up of silent frustrations. Acknowledging effort, whether in taking out the trash or showing affection, builds goodwill and reduces scorekeeping. Quote: "Expectations are resentments waiting to happen." Explanation: Without clear boundaries, partners unknowingly set themselves up for conflict. Expressing gratitude and proactively defining roles strengthens mutual respect. Non-Negotiables and Relationship Dynamics (31:42) Establishing core values early in a relationship creates a foundation for trust and growth. Gillis emphasizes the importance of choosing a partner who shares your commitment to personal development. Quote: "The guy I want to be with values learning and growing for himself." Explanation: Prioritizing growth-oriented partners cultivates mutual support and ensures both individuals thrive, reducing the likelihood of stagnation. The Role of Self-Worth in Online and Offline Dating (47:19) The Gini coefficient analogy reveals how perceptions of inequality manifest in dating apps. Confidence in self-worth and uniqueness cuts through the noise of competition. Quote: "We teach others how to value us by how we value ourselves." Explanation: Embracing self-worth reshapes interactions, fostering authentic and fulfilling connections in the face of modern dating challenges.     Notable Quotes: "Believing your partner can is the first step to true collaboration."

    EP 477: Unlock Confidence: Time, Sales & Money Mindset Shifts

    Introduction: In this episode, Sarah Walton, a dynamic business coach and sales expert, unpacks the powerful connection between money mindset and personal growth. Raised in a low-income household, Sarah knows the unspoken rules and financial beliefs that shape our lives. She brings her signature no-nonsense coaching strategies to reveal how women in business can break free from scarcity, embrace abundance, and cultivate confidence in sales and life. This conversation dives into how mindset shifts around time, money, and self-worth can transform your business and personal development journey.     Main Takeaways: Unspoken Rules Shape Financial Beliefs: Identifying inherited beliefs can help dismantle the scarcity mentality. Money is Infinite; Time is Finite: Recognizing this truth can revolutionize decision-making and time management. Confidence Drives Perceived Value: Abundance flows when you confidently own your worth and offerings.     Main Topics with Timestamps: Unspoken Rules and Scarcity Mentality (05:15) Sarah explains how unspoken childhood rules—like "money is stressful" or "more is better"—can unconsciously control decisions. She emphasizes that these beliefs aren’t truths but inherited mindsets. Quote: "Unspoken rules run deep, but identifying them allows us to rewrite our stories." Impact: Realizing how these unexamined beliefs operate can unlock a sense of freedom and control over your financial choices. Money vs. Time: Infinite and Finite (23:42) The misconception that time is abundant and money is limited is flipped. Sarah highlights that money flows endlessly in the economy, but time is a resource you can’t replenish. Quote: "Billions of dollars circulate daily—it’s about participating in the flow, not fighting it." Impact: This mindset shift encourages smarter investments in your time and energy, empowering you to focus on high-value activities. Perceived Value and Sales Confidence (41:08) Owning the value of your work is key to thriving in sales. Sarah reframes selling as a transfer of enthusiasm rather than a pushy transaction. Quote: "When you trust your value, you can confidently ask for the raise or increase your prices without guilt." Impact: Seeing sales as an opportunity to share value transforms fear into empowerment, fostering authenticity in every transaction.     Notable Quotes: "We come into this world naturally abundant; scarcity is something we learn, but abundance is always available." "Confidence in your value isn’t about arrogance; it’s about showing up with integrity and love." "The unexamined psyche will rule your life—question your beliefs to unlock your true potential."

    EP 476: Empowering Health Awareness: Early Detection, Family Health Conversations, and Self-Advocacy for Colorectal Cancer with Marisa Peters and David Thau

    Guest Introduction In today’s powerful episode, we’re joined by Marisa Peters, founder of BCM and an advocate for colorectal cancer awareness, and David Thau, a dedicated fundraiser and speaker for young-onset cancer initiatives. Both Marisa and David are cancer survivors who are transforming their experiences into a mission for change, focusing on the importance of early detection, health conversations, and self-advocacy. They share insights on managing health risks, knowing the symptoms, and taking proactive steps to protect yourself and your loved ones. Episode Topic The Life-Saving Impact of Early Detection and Family Health Advocacy in Preventing Colorectal Cancer Top Three Takeaways Early detection through screening is essential; colonoscopy remains the gold standard. Knowing your family health history can help in taking preventive actions. Self-advocacy is vital—trust your symptoms and push for answers.     Main Topics with Timestamps & Explanations 1. The Importance of Early Detection and Screening (Timestamp: 10:20) Marisa and David stress that screening methods, especially colonoscopies, are crucial for catching colorectal cancer early. While there are several testing options, a colonoscopy provides the most comprehensive peace of mind, allowing for the removal of precancerous polyps. This proactive approach can prevent cancer from developing in the first place and significantly increases the chances of effective treatment if cancer is detected. Notable Quote: “The best test is the one you’ll actually get, but the colonoscopy is the gold standard because it removes polyps and provides the ultimate peace of mind.” 2. Family Health History as a Guide to Preventive Care (Timestamp: 18:45) Marisa highlights the importance of knowing family health history, as it can indicate when to begin early screening. For families with a history of colorectal cancer, starting screenings before the typical age is essential. Family history isn’t just informative—it’s potentially life-saving, setting a health roadmap that can guide future generations toward prevention and proactive health decisions. Notable Quote: “Our family health history lays out a map, highlighting potential health risks we can address early on with the right screening.” 3. Self-Advocacy: Trusting Symptoms and Pushing for Proper Testing (Timestamp: 28:30) David shares his experience with symptoms that were initially overlooked and misdiagnosed. He emphasizes that recognizing persistent symptoms and advocating for oneself are critical steps in preventing late-stage diagnoses. Self-advocacy involves not dismissing symptoms and requesting specific tests, even when initial results are inconclusive. Knowing your body and speaking up can make all the difference in early diagnosis and successful treatment. Notable Quote: “If you know something isn’t right, keep pushing until you get answers. Self-advocacy can be the difference between an early or a late-stage diagnosis.”

Her unique approach, blending coaching with neuroscience and spirituality, empowers individuals to move beyond self-doubt and thrive in their lives.

Self-compassion is essential for breaking free from the cycle of self-criticism. The MIND Method provides a structured approach to building mental resilience and emotional strength.     Main Topics with Timestamps & Explanations 1. Identifying the Inner Critic and Its Role in Self-Sabotage (Timestamp: 7:10) Joanna explains that the inner critic is not just a voice of negativity but a pattern of thought that has developed from early life experiences, ingrained to protect yet often limit growth. Recognizing this critical voice as separate from one’s true self creates a pathway to personal freedom, allowing for choices that align more closely with one's authentic desires and values. Notable Quote: “The inner critic is that automated voice in your head. Recognize it, question it, and it loses its control over you.” 2. Embracing Self-Compassion to Move Beyond Limiting Beliefs (Timestamp: 16:30) Joanna emphasizes the power of self-compassion as a tool to dissolve self-judgment and break free from the need for perfection. She describes how self-compassion fosters a growth mindset, reducing the grip of self-criticism and making room for real, lasting change. Embracing kindness towards oneself allows for mistakes without feeling defined by them, promoting resilience and continued personal growth. Notable Quote: “When you treat yourself with compassion, you’re allowing space for mistakes without being defined by them.” 3. Applying the MIND Method for Mental and Emotional Resilience (Timestamp: 28:45) The MIND Method, Joanna’s signature framework, helps individuals dismantle the inner critic and reprogram their minds with empowering beliefs. Through practical steps, this method equips individuals with the tools to redirect their thoughts and take control of their emotional experiences. This structure builds resilience and confidence, setting the stage for a future less affected by past patterns and more aligned with personal purpose. Notable Quote: “The MIND Method lets you dethrone your inner critic and replace it with beliefs that support your growth and happiness.” Connections: 3 Secrets Men Wish You Knew *Free Download* How to Eliminate Burnout: How to use the Radical Living Blueprint to Reinvent Your Life Ready To Take Control Of Your Life?  Book A Call With Us Unlock the shocking truth about how your unique personality type is silently shaping your future Website Dethroning Your Inner Critic: The Four-Step Journey from Self-Doubt to Self-Empowerment
