    118. Sex After Betrayal & Divorce w/ Jennifer Finlayson-Fife

    In this episode, I explore the complex journey of healing from sexual infidelity, abuse, and betrayal with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, a renowned relationship and sexuality coach. We delve into what healthy sexuality looks like, the challenges of rediscovering sexual intimacy post-trauma, and the importance of self-compassion and self-awareness. Dr. Finlayson-Fife shares invaluable insights from her work with religious populations and her experience helping individuals and couples build stronger, more intimate relationships. We also discuss the nuances of emotional and sexual intimacy, the impact of cultural and religious messages on sexuality, and practical steps for recognizing and cultivating healthy sexual experiences. This episode aims to provide listeners with tools and perspectives to navigate their own healing journeys and develop a compassionate relationship with their sexuality. More From Jennifer: Art of Desire course for women, and possibly her Understanding Intimate Deception mini-course. You mentioned most listeners are divorced, but if they are grappling with making sense of betrayal, that could be a helpful resource that is affordable, a quick listen, and packed with really helpful insight from Dr. Finlayson-Fife.  ______________________________________________________ Women Supporting Women Facebook Group ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The Facebook Page Here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/theempowereddivorce ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DATING FROM WITHIN WORKSHOP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Next one January 23rd- 25th 2025 Missed it? no worries, find the next Workshop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MONTHLY DIVORCE Q&A⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join myself and others who are navigating the complexities of divorce and the aftermath that you may not have expected.

    117. When You Don't Feel Grateful; Graceful Acknowledgement

    In this heartfelt episode, I dive into the concept of 'graceful acknowledgement' during a month where gratitude is emphasized. I understand that many of you may feel pressured to express gratitude, especially during a tough year filled with conflict, grief, and high conflict divorces. I introduce you to the idea of 'graceful acknowledgement,' a gentler practice than radical acceptance. This concept allows you to acknowledge your feelings and struggles without demanding change or positivity. I guide you on how to practice graceful acknowledgement, validate your emotions, set realistic expectations, and gently shift towards a gratitude practice if you feel ready. This episode is all about honoring your journey, validating your experiences, and navigating the holiday season with self-compassion and realistic expectations. 01:46 Understanding Graceful Acknowledgement 03:13 Practicing Graceful Acknowledgement 04:53 Setting Realistic Expectations 06:48 Shifting Towards Gratitude 08:42 Conclusion and Empowerment Women Supporting Women Facebook Group ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The Facebook Page Here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/theempowereddivorce ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DATING FROM WITHIN WORKSHOP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Next one January 23rd- 25th 2025 Missed it? no worries, find the next Workshop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MONTHLY DIVORCE Q&A⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join myself and others who are navigating the complexities of divorce and the aftermath that you may not have expected.

    116. People Pleasing or Kindness?

    In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of people pleasing—what it is, why we do it, and how it affects our relationships and well-being. I'll unravel the differences between genuine kindness and people pleasing, especially after challenging relationships or divorces. We'll explore the fears driving these behaviors and how people pleasing strips away our authenticity. I'll also share practical insights on recognizing these patterns in yourself and others, the importance of self-love and boundary-setting, and how to cultivate empathy and respect without seeking validation.

    115. Radical Acceptance

    I'm diving deep into the transformative concept of radical acceptance. We'll explore how fully accepting situations and people as they are, without trying to change or approve of them, can liberate you from unnecessary suffering and emotional turmoil. We'll discuss how resisting reality creates internal strife, clouds judgment, and drains mental resources, and how detaching yourself from the need to change others can enhance your problem-solving and emotional wellbeing. I'll provide actionable steps like cultivating awareness and practicing powerful mantras that reinforce your powerlessness over others. Get ready to drop the rope tied to destructive influences in your life and invest your energy where it can genuinely improve your life. 00:53 Introduction to Radical Acceptance 01:43 Understanding Radical Acceptance 03:27 Applying Radical Acceptance in Relationships 04:16 Personal Experiences with Radical Acceptance 05:33 Challenges and Benefits of Radical Acceptance 07:51 Letting Go of Control 08:19 Embracing Radical Acceptance 08:46 The Impact of Fighting Reality 09:15 Freeing Up Mental Space 09:51 Channeling Energy Effectively 11:16 Detaching from the Need to Convince 12:35 Living Your Life on Your Terms 13:52 Recognizing Your Power ______________________________________________ Women Supporting Women Facebook Group ⁠⁠⁠Join The Facebook Page Here ⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/theempowereddivorce ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DATING FROM WITHIN WORKSHOP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Next one January 23rd- 25th 2025 Missed it? no worries, find the next Workshop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MONTHLY DIVORCE Q&A⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join myself and others who are navigating the complexities of divorce and the aftermath that you may not have expected.

    114. Understanding & Overcoming Jealousy

    Today I'm diving deep into the often misunderstood emotion of jealousy and how to process it, especially in the aftermath of betrayal trauma and divorce. I'll explain jealousy in the context of internal family systems, seeing it as a protective 'manager' that signals vulnerabilities and unmet needs. Radical acceptance and healthy anger release are key strategies we'll discuss, alongside the healing power of gratitude to shift focus from lack to abundance. I'll also guide you through practical ways to incorporate gratitude in your daily life and delve into the seven levels of intimacy to reconnect with yourself and build resilience. Tune in to learn how to manage jealousy, practice self-awareness, and prepare to embrace healthy relationships once again.

    111. " I Should Have Known Better"

    Today I validate the emotional turmoil following divorce and betrayal, focusing on the pervasive tendency to self-blame and shame our past self for "Not knowing what we should have known". By exploring the cognitive and psychological reasons behind such reactions, including the brain's mechanisms for dealing with trauma, I share a compassionate perspective.
