    Ep. 12 Conscious Uncoupling: Navigating Love and Separation

    Ep. 12 Conscious Uncoupling: Navigating Love and Separation

    Joining me today are two distinguished guests. First, we have Luisa Kos, a couples therapist operating out of southeast London. She harbours a profound passion for the evolution of contemporary relationships. Alongside Luisa is Suzanne Todd, a widely recognized family lawyer associated with Withers Law Firm since 1999. Not only does Suzanne lead the premier family law and trust and estate and inheritance teams at Withers, but she has also garnered attention, being tagged as a 'conscious uncoupler' in the prestigious Tatler Address Book.

    In the heart of today's discourse is the concept of conscious uncoupling and its growing relevance in today's relationship landscape. We'll delve into what it means for married couples to separate in a considerate, compassionate and dignified manner. The discussion promises a unique insight into the confluence of therapeutic practices and legal procedures.

    We look forward to gleaning insights from Suzanne, especially concerning the dynamic and ever-changing terrain of family law. She will share her first-hand experiences and learnings from cases she has helmed. It promises to be an enlightening exploration into the distinct challenges and gratifications of tackling divorce with a conscious approach.

    We draw parallels between the realms of therapy and law, especially in navigating couples through the intricacies of separations and divorces. The shared interests of Andrea and Luisa in the modern relationship dynamics intersect with Suzanne's legal lens.

    As we wrap up, it's essential to recognize the ever-evolving nature of relationships and the paramount importance of adapting to these shifts. We hope to inspire our listeners to approach matters of love and separation with heightened consciousness, unbridled respect, and deep-seated empathy.

    Ep. 11 Surviving Intimacy : Part 3 – Thriving in Love

    Ep. 11 Surviving Intimacy : Part 3 – Thriving in Love

    This series was originally created as a Masterclass for The Times and Sunday Times Life Lessons Festival in London, UK 2022.

    Why are intimate relationships so intense?
    Why is love so hard to find?
    And once found so hard to keep?
    And once kept so hard to survive, never mind thrive in?

    From the disappointment of endless dating and constant swiping, to the destabilizing precariousness of early stage relationships, to the imminent frustration and tedious boredom of long term love. 

    We might begin to ask ourselves if intimate relationships are even worth it.
    And then we remember what they promise.

    If we could meet real love in a way that feels natural and easy, love that gives a sense of trust, safety and security in a challenging and ever changing world.

    If we could feel the nourishment of deep, meaningful connection, and the richness and excitement of learning and growing together.

    If we could experience the deliciousness of passion and the sparkle of erotic desire that adds so much aliveness and dimension to life

    Then yes, we would answer that relationships are absolutely worth it. 


    But all of that is no small ask.

    In this 3 part series on thriving in intimacy, we'll consider:

    PT 1: FINDING LOVE
    - What it takes to find love on or offline.
    - How to meet your person in a way that feels natural and easy
    - Dissolving the things from the past that keep us from meeting our person.

    PT 2: KEEPING LOVE
    - The delicate dance of closeness and distance in intimate relationships
    - Preparing your body, heart, mind and soul for long-term love
    - What ‘healthy’ looks like in intimate relationships

    PT 3: THRIVING IN LOVE LONG-TERM
    - The skills and tools needed to make love and passion last over time
    - How self-awareness and self-knowing allow for healthy adult relating
    - And how to attain the awareness, skills and tools that long-term love asks for

    Ep. 10 Surviving Intimacy : Part 2 – Keeping Love

    This series was originally created as a Masterclass for The Times and Sunday Times Life Lessons Festival in London, UK 2022.

    In part 2 of Surviving Intimacy, we explore what it takes to keep love steady, especially in the early phases of relationship when we’re getting to know someone new.

    I share a story about how one woman overcame her fear of intimacy and begin to date with confidence and joy – yes, even joy! – for the first time in her life.

    And you’ll be left with some questions to sit with about what it is that would keep you, in love.


    ....

    Why are intimate relationships so intense?

    Why is love so hard to find?
    And once found so hard to keep?
    And once kept so hard to survive, never mind thrive in?

    From the disappointment of endless dating and constant swiping, to the destabilizing precariousness of early stage relationships, to the imminent frustration and tedious boredom of long term love.

    This series was originally created as a Masterclass for The Times and Sunday Times Life Lessons Festival in London, UK 2022.

    In part 1 of Surviving Intimacy, we explore what it is that keeps us from finding love.

    I share a story on how I broke through the walls around my heart. And eventually found love after more than 15 years of being single.

    And you’ll be left with some questions that will prompt you to think differently about what might be keeping you from finding the love that you want.

    Ep. 7 Pandora Paloma on how to find love and grow a thriving business at the same time

    Ep. 7 Pandora Paloma on how to find love and grow a thriving business at the same time

    ‘It’s taken me years to create the beautiful balance that I’ve got in my life, how can a relationship not mess that up?’

    I get asked this all the time by smart, successful women who have it all in life – but for love.

    And so I wanted to get Pandora Paloma in the room, because she, like me, believes in the ‘both and’ when it comes to love and business success.

    Pandora has created a multi six figure business in the matter of a few years…AND she has found love along the way.

    Neither journey has been without its challenges, but when you’re committed to a life of growth and evolution, Pandora proves you can ask for more – and get it.

    In this honest and very real conversation, Pandora shares with us how she’s found love that feels right without having to compromise any part of her to get it.

    About our guest:
    Pandora Paloma is a business coach and works with quantum transformation. She plays in both the realms of energetics and business strategy. Prior to coaching, she worked in communications for some of the biggest brands in the world on their visibility through messaging, marketing and communications. She combines this experience with energetics, mindset and different coaching tools to help women stand out from the crowd and build businesses that feel like home.


    Listen in as we discuss:
    - How to navigate growing a thriving business and finding love at the same time.
    - What it took to get there.
    - The benefits of having both and – is it really possible to have it all at once?
    - Lessons learned from love lost along the way
    - The qualities of a partner able to be with you as you grow and thrive in your business, co-parent your child, and enjoy the togetherness of love.
    - How knowing what you want is foundational to making it happen.
    - What to expect from an intimate relationship – what’s too much to ask. And what’s not enough.
    - What it takes to keep love going for the long term. How to make love last.
