Life is going exactly according to plan….until she met him one snowy night in an English pub. If you thought this was a fairy-tale of a girl finding her Prince - er, Earl, and living happily ever after...then prepare yourself for one heck of an American Revolution.

Celia Lynton had been told her entire life that she couldn’t marry for love, marriage should be a business agreement, poor men were only after the family fortune, blah, blah, blah.

So yeah, there’s going to be a marriage. One of convenience. Just like her parents wanted. She’ll marry a future Scottish earl—a very rich future earl. There’s just one problem: Celia is in love with another man.

Did you believe your bullies growing up?

Today's episode is for anyone who grew up in a home where there were strict expectations about who you should date or marry.

Today we will talk about why we have an unhelpful tendency to dim our light in relationships.  Sometimes it can feel like we're just too much. So we try to tone ourselves down, thinking that if we are chining so brightly from our hearts - really living in our passion and showing up fully joyful - that it could discourage some people or push them away.

What if the safest way for us to find love is to show up Shining bright af. Today my guest, speaker, ...
