Pre-Nups and Post-Nups are generally regarded as being manipulative and unromantic. But what if you could use prenups and postnups to make your marriage stronger?

In this podcast episode, family law attorney Katy Mickelson pulls back the curtain on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. She explains what they can and cannot cover, what they require, and how to create agreements that work. [HINT: This is NOT the place to go DIY!] She also dives deeply into who needs these agreements, and when entering into them not only makes sense but can actually help you save your marriage.

This episode is rich with practical advice, demystifying the belief that prenups and postnups are exclusively for the ultra-wealthy. Instead, we reveal their relevance to a wide range of individuals. Katy also highlights how these legal tools can provide a foundation of clarity and security for any marriage.

Have you ever felt locked in a cycle of stress that you just can't seem to break free from? In this episode, Theresa Lear Levine shares a technique that could be your key to emotional liberation.

As an EFT master practitioner and hypnotherapist, Theresa brings to light the transformative potential of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) - a method that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology to tap into our body's energy meridians.

Research has shown that EFT has a profound effect on anxiety and physical ailments. It can also help individuals navigate life's transitions with a sense of empowerment.

In the course of this discussion, Theresa peels back the layers of EFT tapping for emotional healing, demystifying the process and its impact. We explore how this technique can neutralize the emotional aftermath of traumatic experiences and lead to pathways of positive change, all while embracing negative emotions to foster authentic well-being. By asking "what would it take," Theresa uncovers how we can engage our subconscious to manage emotions, especially during pivotal events like divorce.

Whether you're plagued by stress, overwhelm, or worry tapping offers a practical approach to overcoming your blocks and cultivating a sense of love, acceptance, and peace.

About Theresa
Theresa's battles with past traumas, high-functioning anxiety, and ADHD trapped her in a recurring Groundhog Day of dis-ease, distraction, and dissatisfaction. A transformative pivot came when exhaustion, insomnia, and the struggle to be present in her own abundantly blessed life broke her down.

Driven to embrace life's potential and achieve aligned success, Theresa delved into decoding her nervous system, the law of attraction, and the subconscious mind. Through Emotional Freedom Techniques, Hypnotherapy, and a fresh perspective on energy and manifestation, Theresa swiftly shed negative emotions and expanded her consciousness. This restoration brought back calm, clarity, and confidence that became a foundation of success.

Theresa’s Internationally best-selling book, "Becoming More Me: Tapping into Success - Subconscious Secrets of an ADHD Entrepreneurial Mom" , was born out of her passion to help other like-minded women on their quest to ditch anxiety, limiting beliefs, and past trauma.
