  • The Secret to Finding Real Love: Stop Fighting with Your Ex!

    The Secret to Finding Real Love: Stop Fighting with Your Ex!
    Jan 8 2025
    In this no-holds-barred episode, we’re diving deep into what’s really holding you back from attracting the life and love you deserve: fighting with your ex. If you’re stuck in a cycle of negativity, chaos, and emotional turmoil, it’s time to take control. I’m introducing you to the DEARMAN method, a simple yet powerful communication tool that will help you:
    • Stop reacting to your ex’s drama.
    • Protect your peace (and your sanity).
    • Create space for the right partner to come into your life.
    Let’s face it, high-value men don’t want to deal with unresolved chaos, and you don’t deserve to be weighed down by it either. It’s time to cut the cord and reclaim your future. Whether you’re navigating co-parenting, a tough work situation, or just the daily stresses of life, this episode will give you the tools you need to thrive.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • The 3 steps to protect your peace, no matter what life throws your way.
    • How to create a "peace ritual" to stay grounded when chaos strikes.
    • Why transferring your reaction can literally change your life (yes, we’re talking about squats here!).
    • The game-changing power of the DEARMAN method to handle tough conversations with confidence and clarity.
    • How to stop letting your ex (or anyone else) control your emotions or your future.
    Why This Episode Matters: As single moms, we’ve been through enough. It’s time to let go of the chaos, the drama, and the triggers that hold us back from living our best lives. This isn’t just about communication—it’s about freedom. When you stop engaging in battles that aren’t worth fighting, you free yourself to pursue the love, career, and happiness you’ve always deserved.

    Quotes from this episode:
    • "Protecting your peace isn’t selfish—it’s survival."
    • "Your ex doesn’t get to control your emotions or your future. Period."
    • "High-value men aren’t looking for chaos. They’re looking for a queen."
    • "RSVP No to drama and Yes to your dreams."
    Action Steps
    1. Start your 10-minute peace ritual: Grab a cup of tea, write down 3 things you’re grateful for, and set your intentions for the day.
    2. Make your "transferring reactions" list: Write down 5 actions that will propel you toward your goals when chaos hits (hint: squats are a fun one!).
    3. Download the free DEARMAN Template in the show notes and practice it for your next tough conversation.
