    Dec 25 2024
    In this episode of the Good Girl Unleashed podcast, host Monique welcomes Alex Harvey, a coach dedicated to helping women live authentically and embrace their true nature. The conversation dives deep into the concept of 'good girl conditioning'—a set of societal programs that restrict women from expressing their true selves and achieving their full potential. Alex outlines ten key conditioning programs that often impede women's empowerment, ranging from beliefs around sexuality and attractiveness to the notion that success must come through struggle. Both Monique and Alex share personal anecdotes and insights on overcoming these limiting beliefs through acceptance, self-awareness, and the transformative power of sexuality and sensuality. They also discuss the broader implications of these conditioning programs on various aspects of life, including business, relationships, and personal growth. Additionally, Alex introduces her upcoming offerings, including a Sex Magic Ritual system and a comprehensive 12-month curriculum designed to help women harness their innate power and creativity. This episode is a profound exploration of the journey towards self-liberation and living from a place of true authenticity.

  • 144: The Missing Piece: Harnessing The Power of Nonviolent Communication and Self-Understanding

    144: The Missing Piece: Harnessing The Power of Nonviolent Communication and Self-Understanding
    Dec 10 2024
    In this episode I share transformative insights gained from a nonviolent communication workshop and books by Alison Armstrong. Since watching a workshop on NVC by Marshall Rosenberg, I discovered the missing piece that causes so much pain, suffering, conflict and disharmony in relationships and the reason WHY we can’t seem to HEAR the other. There is a deep PAIN that so many of us hold deep within ourselves, the pain of unmet needs that have been held and buried for much of our lives. When we enter intimate relationships, often they trigger these deep unprocessed pains within us, this is an opportunity to heal and integrate but when we don’t have the tools it can prevent us from healing and thriving in relationships. I also share my own journey through personal growth, inner conflicts, and relationship dynamics, particularly focusing on addressing deep-seated wounds and unmet needs and highlight how understanding and expressing needs compassionately can shift relationships. We explore key topics include the patterns of emasculation, the impact of unmet needs, and strategies for healthier communication and requests in relationships. Let’s dive in!
