How We Get Hooked

Why do we suddenly find ourselves justifying why he’s treating us the way he does, why he has rules about how often he can spend time with us, why we’re suddenly on the begging end of the whole relationship? A beautiful woman is hooked on a guy that is not treating her well

What happens to us that we, perfectly intelligent, level headed women suddenly begin justifying to ourselves, beyond all sense of reason, why he’s treating us the way he does, why it's OK that he has rules about how often he can spend time with us, why it's understandable that he needs so much "guy time", [...]

The Missing Piece

This very important piece is like the last piece needed to complete the puzzle. A woman is holding the last piece of the puzzle.

No matter how many times you've read or been told it's ultimately about loving yourself, about being confident, about remembering all that you are and all that you have to offer, there is still that part of you that just doesn't know what to do with that. You read it, you get it, but how [...]

You Don't Need to Be Chosen

You don't need to be chosen. You don't need to be picked by a guy to have worth. A man is picking a flower out of field.

I see you everywhere I go. All around me, you're everywhere. So much insecurity. So many of you deferring to these guys. Hanging on to them so tightly, literally. Like you need them. You believe you do. It’s the flawed belief system that’s in so many of you. You're not flawed; it's just the system [...]

What If...

What if you could know, deep down inside, that there was nothing wrong with you? A beautiful, thoughtful woman wonders why she feels there is something wrong with her.

We hear so much about what we need to do differently, what we need to change about ourselves, and what we're doing wrong, that it's no wonder we’re often left thinking that there is just something wrong with us and we'll never figure out how to find true love with that special someone. We've all [...]

Boundaries

Set and respect your boundaries in a relationship. Beautiful woman standing by her personal boundaries by setting boundaries in relationships.

Here's what you need to know to get him to respect your boundaries.  Looking back, I realize that one of the things that probably most contributed to my rocky relationship roller coaster rides was the whole thing about boundaries, or, more accurately, the lack thereof. Although there are many different definitions and ideas out there [...]

Why Hasn't He Called?

Why hasn't he called? If he hasn't called, there's one simple reason. Beautiful woman waiting for a guy to call her.

Of all the questions I'm asked, the most common one is about what to do when he hasn't called. There's something about that unfinished business, about being left hanging without an explanation that leaves even the most confident of us wondering what we did wrong, and whether or not we should try to contact him [...]

You Deserve to be Loved!

You deserve to be loved.

We all have inherent belief systems, as a result of our early programming, that greatly affect us throughout our lives into adulthood. For a variety of reasons, one of the most prevalent is that we don’t deserve to be loved, and it's this particular one that has the most negative effect on the quality of [...]

The Case of the Disappearing Man

The case of the disappearing man

We've all been there – you've gone on a couple of dates, had a great time, then suddenly, as quickly as it started…silence. Nothing but crickets. So why did it happen? Why did he just vanish from your life? Well, the truth is, it's because he wasn’t the guy for you. You may have felt [...]

Stop Being So Hard on Yourself!

Don't be so hard on yourself.

There’s one thing we women do better than anything else - we beat ourselves up. It doesn’t matter how far we’ve come or what we’ve learned along the way, no one else is harder on us than we are. We know all too well exactlywhat we should have done, could have done, would have done [...]

This is the eighth and final post in our series 8 Signs You Aren’t Ready for a Relationship. If you often find that you're trying [...]
