Girlfriend behaviour needs to be saved for the season in your relationship when you feel confident and safe enough to have the conversation about where your relationship is going – and, when you’re actually his girlfriend.

What’s most important at the end of the day is that you know your boundaries, and why they’re important to you. Then, you stick to them and adjust if need be.

Whether you’re newly dating or in a relationship, there’s one challenge that most of us experience at one point or another: learning to express love that will resonate with someone we care about.

If the last year has taught us anything, it’s that our inner children need our attention and consolation; they are the feeling the impatience.

I know it’s exciting to get swept away and swept off your feet. But you, my love, are a wise woman and it’s time you fully step into her.

As you explore your inner world and that of your inner child, remember she holds more than your tears and fears; she holds your strengths, gifts and wisdom, too.

I know how tempting it can be to lose yourself on the first couple of dates, especially when you feel equally into each other and the chemistry is brimming.

Sometimes we think we love someone, when what we love is how they or being with them, makes us feel about ourselves.

One of the things I love teaching inside of my programs is to practice being in a relationship with the Universe, the way you would want to with your man.

Mental space is just as important, if not more important, than the physical space you take in your relationship.

There are so many subtleties in dating and relationships that can impact the way you’re showing up, the way you’re being perceived, and the experiences you’re attracting. And the best way to become attuned to these subtleties is to notice the tendencies in what you say and how you act, and how you feel in your body.

Consider the subtle ways you are belittling your partner and notice -- like truly notice -- the ways it is blocking love in your relationship.

The next time you find yourself frustrated with your man, have some compassion and remember that just like you, he too is on an ever-unfolding path.​

The more she tries, the more he pulls away. The more he pulls away, the more she feels sad and bad for herself – which makes her want to try even harder. The antidote? Stopping the over-giving, over-thinking and over-doing in its tracks.

The truth is, over-giving, over-analyzing, and “performing” to get him to love you is actually the exact thing that’s in the way of him loving you.

When you notice yourself in that space, dig a little into your fear and lean back for the answer of your most empowered self.

The truth is, you will never quite excavate all of your past wounds by digging in, but you can get most of it. That last little bit can only come from taking the leap, a stand for yourself and making new empowered choices.

You can drop the charade, put down the spatula, and simply live your best life - all while telling and showing him that you like and appreciate him.

Not only is it important to take space from each other, or from thinking about each other, but we also have to offer our partners the space to go through their own shit without trying to understand where they’re at every step of the way.

You, my goddess, have much better ways to be spending your time and energy than wasting it away stressing about, thinking about, and worrying about the new guy in your life. So I want to help you save some of it. There are a few ways you can spot the difference between a guy who’s taking his time or wasting yours.
