  • Life Check Yourself 426 – The 7 Dating Mistakes You Are Probably Making (and Don’t Even Realize it) with Evan Marc Katz
    Nov 29 2023

    Marni welcomes Evan Marc Katz to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo delves into what dating looks like today and how to navigate it. Why do women keep falling into the same patterns? How do you tap into your feelings?

    Evan is a dating coach that has helped over 13 thousand women from all over the world. Having written 4 books, he is also a successful podcast host. In tackling the topic of dating at all ages, Evan explains what it means to find your person. It’s not just about the mantras but setting an action plan.

     

    ·         Stay in the game

    ·         Seek consciousness and intention

    ·         How to be strong universally

     

    Stop Focusing on Landing the Man [10:00]

     

    We always think of dating as an accomplishment. Women tend to focus on landing the man rather than looking at how they feel. Face your emotions. Ask yourself how you feel within the relationship. It’s not about the man looking good on paper, it’s about the connection that is meant to come with that.

     

    Do I feel safe, heard, and understood? Can I relax and let my guard down, and trust that he’ll be there for me and accept me in full?

     

    Hope Springs Eternal [17:48]

     

    People soften with age, they get better. They’re more self-aware, more supportive of each other. Life is peppered with examples of people who found love not only in the most unlikely places but later on in life as well. And you shouldn’t lose hope but you should set an action plan.

     

    Hope springs eternal. So, my belief is that there’s enough good guys to warrant it, especially for women of a certain age who are surrounded by people who have given up on love.

     

    Dump the Scarcity Thinking [23:12]

     

    Stop doubting yourself If you’ve left your partner for all the right reasons. Trust yourself and start reframing it in your mind. It’s easy to fall into that pit of self-doubt, wondering whether you’ll ever be loved this way again or whether you’ll ever be treated this way again. You will. This relationship was just a stepping stone, it unlocked something in you.

     

    Why would you treat him like he’s the last man on earth? So many people come back to coaching because they had something that was ill-fated, and it awakened something inside of them.

  • This Advice for Busy Women to Get Their Sexy Back Back May Surprise You!
    Nov 22 2023

    Marni Marni welcomes Dr.Diane Mueller to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo discusses sexual health, intimacy and how to get your sexy back. Dr.Diane is a podcast host who’s helped many women reclaim their vitality and jumpstart their libido. She also holds a doctorate in naturopathic medicine. Women often forget the importance of sex and the nuances that come with that kind of intimacy. However, sexual intimacy is one of the pillars for a good healthy life. 

     

    • How does stress affect your sex drive?

    • Sex is a foundation of health

    • Why you should care about your libido 

     

    It’s All in the Hormones, Baby [08:01]

     

    Stress affects men and women differently when it comes to their sex drive. Similarly, the hormones released by men and by women after being intimate have a different effect on each gender. Whereas men release vasopressin, which allows them to then become focused, women release oxytocin, which gives them the urge to be held. 

     

    What happens with stress is that stress will actually turn down oxytocin. 

     

    What’s Sex Got to do With it? [12:58]

     

    Conversations surrounding sex and sexuality when it comes to women, for centuries, have been regarded as too taboo to talk about. It is only over the past decade or so, that these topics are being tackled more. And with good reason.  

     

    Being sexually intimate has proven to raise happiness levels and reduce anxiety. It also decreases social isolation and feelings of loneliness. 

     

    There’s some research that is connecting a proper healthy sex life with really maintaining the longevity of a happy relationship.

     

    Be Present [19:18]

     

    To actually enjoy pleasure means to be present in the moment. Sounds self-evident but many women will sometimes zone out during the act as their mind drifts off to the laundry list or the grocery list or something that needs to be done. And that’s because of the way the hormones released affect the brain. However, that’s a sign that you’re not in the present, that you’re not in the body. 

     

    The more we’re in that moment experiencing pleasure, the more oxytocin, the more stress resilience, the more happiness and all those things.

  • Advice to Stop Believing Your BS and Finally Put Yourself First
    Nov 15 2023

    Marni welcomes Laura Foster to the Life Check Yourself where the duo discusses what it means to be in alignment with your true self by un-programming yourself. Laura has been helping women through her movement Soul Healing Humanity, and through her technique Holistic Scaffolding, to unpack their bullshit and leave it behind. The maverick, who decided to cut the bullshit out of her own life, guides her clients into doing the same and finding a massive makeshift in their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. 

     

    • How to cut the bullshit

    • Stop the distractions

    • Be there for you

     

    Is Your Unhappiness Seeping through? [04:40]

     

    It seems evident but looking at your happiness, or lack thereof, is the first indicator of whether you need to make a change or not. And sometimes, you might not even know that you’re unhappy. While things might look great on the outside, and you’ve ticked all the boxes for what a successful happy life looks like, what’s underneath is what counts more. 

     

    When I’d stop all the doing and the busyness, and I would start to come into alignment with my true self, it was like that’s where a lot of unhappiness is coming from. 

     

    Who is Your True Self?[13:00]

     

    Your true self is what’s underneath everything you’ve been programmed to believe; it’s underneath everything you’ve been conditioned into thinking you need to do; and it’s underneath all the human bullshit. And as you get closer to who your true self is, you get into your power. But that’s something only you can do. 

     

    To take back your power means to live in alignment with your true self.

     

    Be Your Own Guru [20:38]

     

    While it is beneficial to hear out other people or gurus, what ends up happening is that you replace one set of rules and dogma with another. However, the reality is, no one knows what’s best for you more than you do. 

     

    Once you learn this framework that gets you to where you’re your own guru, then you design a life that you love by you, for you.

Best place to start fixing your dating!

I first started learning about Marni and her outlook by listening to the podcast! She works with women right where they are in dating! If you want to delve deeper, I'd recommend working with Marni in one of her programs; it's been life changing for me!
