It is very easy to stress over what material items to give people we love during the holidays. What we often overlook are gifts that cost nothing from a monetary perspective, but can be difficult to offer others. I am talking about things like compassion, understanding, acceptance and the biggest of all ~ Forgiveness. In this interview with Dan Bryant, Behavioral Health Educator, we talk about ways we learn to cultivate and practice forgiving ourselves, and others. For people in intimate relationships, we talk about important keys in communication that will foster greater intimacy such as: being genuinely curious about the other person, owning our experience and feelings, as well as deepening our understanding of ourselves. To finish we delve into what forgiveness is and what it isn’t. Ultimately forgiveness is a gift we give to ourselves, but getting to that place can be quite a journey in the mind. Tune in!

It is always a pleasure to interview the leaders of PAX Programs, they are so insightful, always offering us deep wisdom about men! We learn in this interview that one of the reasons their information is incredibly spot on is that it comes from many years of interviewing Men directly, getting their world and delivering that information to women in a way we can open our hearts and let it in. Leslie shares with us the importance of understanding what happens when we act like Human Animals and what happens when we act from Human Spirit. We hear great information about the difference between Chemistry and Passion – who knew?

We end with key steps on how to recover from infidelity. This is a MUST listen to interview!

In this provocative interview, we peek inside the world of a woman who does not fit inside the “traditional” role of a highly successful woman.  A self-professed “Modern Day Courtesan” we hear from “Elise” about her (what may seem like radical) ideas and approaches to an extremely sensitive subject – Sex Work.

There is much talk these days about a “Feminine Revolution” happening, a sort of Renaissance for women that is becoming more and more evident as the time of the patriarchy gives way to ever increasing females in positions of power. To this end, I met “Elise” and was fascinated by her wits, and practical, grounded approach to the “healing work” she does with men and eye-opening perspective to work that most would shun.

Pushing the boundaries of where I normally go on Just For Women, my desire with this conversation is to illuminate issues some women might rather ignore.  But if we deny issues in our lives and relationships, we are missing a big opportunity to really wake up and address all facets of our lives as Empowered Women.

Please keep your heart and mind open as Elise addresses questions such as:

• What exactly is a “Modern Day Courtesan”?
• What the heck does your husband think and feel about your job?
• What can women do to re-connect with their sexual desire?
• What is happening for a man who chooses to see a Escort/Courtesan?

In this eye-opening interview, we hear from Dr. Janae Weinhold about the flip side of Co-Dependency, a newly emerging term called “COUNTER-dependency.”  We learn how to detect the characteristics of COUNTER-dependent behavior in ourselves (it is more subtle than you might think!) and what we can do to heal from these unconscious behaviors to create deeper love and intimacy in our lives.   We discuss “Developmental Traumas,” how to detect them, how to heal them in ourselves,  and we also look at how we can see counter-dependent behavior in our culture and society as a whole.
