    Change begins when you start loving yourself. This mantra repeated to us over and over again because it’s true. But it’s not enough to just say it, you need to truly believe it. Let go of these negative beliefs you were told about yourself.
     
    It’s such a different way of being when you truly love yourself.
     
    Embracing Self-Advocacy [18:52]
     
    Overcoming your fear and learning to ask for what you need not only helps you overcome challenges but it also fosters holistic sense of well-being. By embracing self-advocacy, you have the power to shape your career, relationships, and overall life with confidence and resilience.
     
    Things really changed for me because I felt really powerful and I felt like I could advocate for myself.

    Embrace life's changes, prioritize self-care, and remain open to unforeseen opportunities for profound personal and professional growth. Always listen to what your body is telling you. It knows what it’s talking about.

    What's the Biggest Mistake Successful Women Make on the First Date with Anapaula Corral

    What's the Biggest Mistake Successful Women Make on the First Date with Anapaula Corral

    Marni welcomes Anapaula Corral to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo delves into feminine energy, recognizing the dating mistakes and letting go of deep-rooted beliefs that may be doing more harm than good. Marni and Anapaula, who is an author, met on Instagram. After that meeting, Anapaula started doing the work with Marni and gaining insight on what it is that she was doing wrong in her dating life. The conversation between the two women explores notions of regained self-confidence, mindful dating, and the journey of self-love.
     
    *         How to define your rules
    *         Prioritize self-love
    *         How to embrace your feminine energy
     
    It Starts with a Strong Foundation [11:07]
     
    Regain your self-confidence through self-reflection. Recognize the trauma that you’ve been holding onto and that has been affecting your life. Once you do that, you can begin to work on it and find your way back to your self-confidence.
     
    Deep underneath there’s a shame that needs to be healed.
     
    Own Your Feminine Energy [15:10]
     
    You need to fall in love with yourself in order to be able to fall in love with someone else. Open yourself up and hold on to your self-worth. That’s where all the magic happens.
     
    Being able to sit down with my feminine energy has definitely not only changed my life, but it has improved every area of my life.
     
    Uncomfortable Conversations [27:54]
     
    Relationships take time and patience. It’s not always smooth sailing. It is important to have uncomfortable conversations, to be honest, and to be transparent. That is what leads to growth and ultimately a more meaningful connection.
     
    You need the map and the person that follows the map.

    How to be Happy, Even If Your Partner Won’t Do a Thing with Dr.Abby Medcalf

    How to be Happy, Even If Your Partner Won’t Do a Thing with Dr.Abby Medcalf

    Marni welcomes Dr.Abby Mecalf to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo dismantle pre-held beliefs about the secret to a successful relationship. Abby is a psychologist and a relationship maven who also happens to be a podcast host. Throughout this episode, they look into one of the leading causes for the failure of a relationship. And it’s not communication, it’s competition that influences the dynamics within a relationship. 
     
    *         Why do so many relationships fail?
    *         How to stop Comparing
    *         Find common ground
     
    It’s Actually Not Just About Communication [06:42] 
    We’ve been told over and over again that the main reason relationships fail is bad communication. But there’s another cancer under that. And it's a competition.
    This is competition for resources, for time, for money, for things in the family. If you’re in competition with someone, you don’t want them to win.
     
    That Sounds Like a We Problem [12:59]
    Instead of viewing an issue as one partner’s problem, look at it as a shared problem. When you do that, you both actively engage in shared problem solving. And rather than blame each other, you manage to actually find a solution that works for both of you. 
    Everything is a we.
     
    Set Your Boundaries Right [28:12]
    Merely expressing a preference is not setting a boundary. A boundary needs to have consequences if it is not respected. When you set a boundary, it doesn’t mean you’re more important than your partner. It just means you’re as important. 
    ‘I feel upset when you talk to me that way.’ That’s your feeling. A Boundary has to have teeth.

    Life Check Yourself 439 – 10 Examples of What Gaslighting Looks Like (Hidden Signals) with Dr. Amelia Kelley

    Life Check Yourself 439 – 10 Examples of What Gaslighting Looks Like (Hidden Signals) with Dr. Amelia Kelley

    Marni welcomes Dr. Amelia Kelley to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo delves into the notion of gaslighting and how to spot it when it’s happening. Amelia who is a hypnotherapist and an art therapist, discusses the prototypes that are most likely to get gaslit. Dissecting the different types of gaslighting, she explains the personality traits that can play a role in whether or not a person will get gaslit as well as how to avoid a gas-lighter.
     
    *         How to know when you’re being gaslit.
    *         Stand firm in your truth
    *         How to distance yourself
     
    Are You Just Being Immature? [07:18]
     
    The term gaslighting gets thrown around lightly, and a lot. However, there are times where it is not a gaslighting situation. You’re just having a disagreement. Gaslighting is a form of emotional manipulation and abuse that is intended to control, contort and alter your sense of reality and your sense of self.
     
    There are so many ways it can impact your self-esteem, your interpersonal relationships, your goals and just everything.
     
    Confuse and Conquer [13:27]
     
    Gaslighting thrives on keeping the person at the receiving end confused and doubting their own reality. Good news is the first step to avoid being gaslit is understanding and detecting when it happens. It’s about being aware of it.
     
    Distancing yourself from gaslighting is the only true way to cut yourself off from its impact.
     
    A Never-Ending Cycle [19:10]
     
    One of the psychological aspects of gaslighting is that it’s a cycle that can be gratifying but it’s important to set boundaries. More so, practicing emotional individuation and not letting others rewrite your personal experiences are all steps you can take towards dealing with gaslighting.
     
    The whole purpose is to cut down your self-esteem or your confidence. They don’t want you to have self-confidence.

    What Women Don’t Understand About Men with Dr.Ricky Arenson

    What Women Don’t Understand About Men with Dr.Ricky Arenson

    Marni welcomes endocrinologist and author Dr.Ricky Arenson to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo discuss the dynamics between men and women in a partnership. The duo delves into the differences between both genders and how the things that set them apart actually become their strength when combined. While men and women may function on opposing wavelengths, that is actually the key to the success of a relationship. And a happy relationship means a longer life. Longevity isn’t just about eating those berries and that OJ.
     
    *         Uncover your innate qualities
    *         Why do you keep having the same fights?
    *         Stop scrolling past everything IRL
     
    Make Love Not War [18:18]
     
    We live in a society where everyone is seeking conflict. And it’s amplified by social media. At the end of the day though, what unites us is our humanity regardless of our race or gender.
     
    We all want to come together and see each other as human beings, and see the value and the beauty of being human rather than dividing up by race, gender, and sexual preference.
     
    Women are From Venus, Men are From… [23:36]
     
    The way a man and a woman’s brain function are actually very different. Whereas men tend to get hyper focused on the task at hand, women have a more diverse thinking pattern. A woman’s brain activity shows that there could be a lot going on everywhere.
     
    Because men, when they focus on something, they become very unique, focused. You can’t distract them.
     
    Modern Day Romance [34:28]
     
    The issue with modern day romances is that we’ve all become impatient. We’ve gotten accustomed to just scrolling past anything we don’t like on our phone. And it seems to be a habit we’ve taken in our daily lives.
     
    But relationships don’t work like that. Relationships are a long-term process.

    Life Check Yourself 437 – How to Radiate Feminine Energy to Live a Soft Life: habits, dating tips and healing *Life Changing with Julie Hakim

    Life Check Yourself 437 – How to Radiate Feminine Energy to Live a Soft Life: habits, dating tips and healing *Life Changing with Julie Hakim

    Marni welcomes Julie Hakim to the Life Check Yourself studio for a live coaching session. Julie is a physician who works at Texas Children’s Hospital. For Julie, it is vital for her to step into her power especially since she’s been struggling to feel seen recently. During the session, the duo tackle what it actually means to feel seen and how to regain control in situations that feel unpredictable.  
     
    *         What’s your external avatar?
    *         How to be Seen
    *         What are energy influencers?
     
     
    Are You Seen? [01:37]
     
    When you are seen there is a sense of alignment and flow that accompanies that feeling. What are the areas in your life where you feel flow? You recognize it because it is a space of emotional safety.  
     
    I think the most immediate response is that I feel I don’t feel vulnerable.
     
    How to Adult [06:40]
     
    Part of becoming an adult is developing roles that you need to fulfill. Those roles differ from person to person. For some, it could be the role of a caregiver, while for others it’s the role of a friend.
     
    Becoming an adult is reframing the perspective that one had as a child and developing into the role as I’m no longer a child, I’m no longer a teenager.
     
    How to Prepare for the Unpredictable [11:10]
     
    It’s difficult going into something not knowing the outcome. But there are certain things you can do to put yourself at ease when in a situation that brings you discomfort, for whatever reason. And that could be anything from not going on a date hungry to taking some space for yourself beforehand. It’s about your energy influencers and those differ from one person to the next.
     
    For your physical self, it might be stuff like I need to make sure that I sleep or maybe hearing music to make me feel empowered.

Not out to help women

Based on her podcast, I thought Marni Batista’s mission was to help single women. So why. when I inquired about one of her coaching programs, her organization connected me to a scam artist like Michael Goldstein is unfathomable. If you really cared about women Marni, you’d allow us to say No, thank-you without the harassment of bullying, lying and stealing salesmen. Based on my experience, Marni Batista’s organization is more about manifesting the money of single women into her bank account than helping us manifest a real relationship. There’s no dignity in having $1,000 deposit stolen.

Clever podcast but scam artist underneath

This is yet another unqualified “life coach” with a clever talk and good makeup but once you fall for it, asks for you to pay thousands of dollars to personal Venmo accounts for undefined services. Beware all.
