* How to introspect

* What are the ABC’s of marriage?

* How to be Honest

We Need to Talk About Us [04:33]

Don’t focus on the wrong end of the spectrum of marriage or a relationship. The key is to focus on what you both need and want, rather than only prioritizing on your partner.

Don’t violate other principles just because you think something is correct

Honesty Really is The Best Policy [13:14]

It’s been said over and over again because it’s true. Don’t try to be someone that you’re not. Stop saying the things you think your partner wants to hear and start saying how you feel.

That’s how you develop a friendship as well.

The Unspoken Conversation [20:56]

What are the ABCs of marriage? It is knowing that your partner will not trade you in for the newer model, it is knowing that they will love you even in sickness. It is the important questions that keep you together in the long turn.

And c is, can you love me with cancer?

Marni welcomes Nicole Russo to the Life Check Yourself studio. A personal stylist to high-achievers and executives, Nicole opened her own styling shopping service in 2017 and has styled thousands of people since. The duo discusses the most effective way to declutter, how to find your style and why dressing well means being empowered. How you dress, when it’s authentic, is a reflection of who you are and who you want to be.

* How to dress for power

* Avoid impulse purchases

* How to cleanse your closet

It’s Not Any Less Feminist to Dress the Part [05:11]

The way you dress impacts the way you’re perceived and the way you feel. Fashion can be wielded as a powerful tool to propel your life in the direction that you want it to go in.

You definitely need to be careful in that it has to feel authentic, or else it’s not really going to empower you. It has to feel like you in some way.

Declutter Your Emotions and Your Closet [17:27]

Your closet is a reflection of you. It’s murmurs of who you were or who you didn’t become. Or even the dreams you held on to. But, perhaps it’s time to declutter. Let go of the items you don’t wear anymore so that you can be who you are now.

Our closets are a metaphor for our life.

Get Creative [20:00]

Experiment by wearing something new each day or each week to inspire creativity. Finding your style should be fun.

I find that you get a better sense of who you are, and it becomes like a creative fun process instead of a stressful one.

Marni welcomes Shanenn Bryant to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo discusses how to crack the control code and transform the way we view jealousy. Shanenn is a jealousy and relationship confidence expert. She’s also the host of the Top Self podcast and founder of self-development company, Top Self. It’s not just about eradicating jealousy but understanding that this feeling isn’t the problem, but rather a symptom of it. And the answers can be found by examining yourself.

* Focus on yourself

* Lengthen the space between trigger and response

* How to foster self-awareness

What’s Jealousy Got to Do With it? [05:35]

Jealous stems from somewhere internal, from a place of insecurity. And that could either be because of some type of dysfunction in your childhood or because you went through a bad experience in a romantic relationship. Either way, to understand the feeling itself, you need to look at yourself and ask the right questions.

It doesn’t necessarily have to always be that it was a cheating incident. I felt like I was insecure and jealous before that ever happened.

Make Room for Accountability [14:49]

While it may be difficult to do so in certain situations, it’s important to take responsibility rather than blame your partner straight away. Self-awareness is key.

You cannot change something that is blocking you, unless you really take a look at what you think, do, and say.

Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries [21:10]

Before getting into a relationship, it’s important to have an open and honest conversation about boundaries, particularly those regarding interactions with exes. It allows both partners to understand each other’s expectations.

Have that conversation to figure out what that relationship is like beforehand and then you make the decision if that’s a relationship you want to be in.
