    I am super excited to have Todd Baratz as a guest on the podcast. Todd is a renowned psychotherapist and sex therapist whose innovative approaches to mental health and relationships have established him as a leading figure.

    We talked about:
    • His new book "How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind"
    • Reframing how we approach relationship issues
    • How to deal with breakups
    • The difference between cultural diagnoses and true toxic traits
    • What "hurt potential" is, how it can impact new relationships, and what we can do about it
    • How to craft a "relationship contract"
    • The first step we can all take today to improve our relationships
    This episode has so many great take-aways to build healthier and more fulfilling relationships. It all starts with developing more self-awareness and getting to know ourselves on the inside. In addition to his clinical practice, Baratz is a prolific writer and speaker.

  • 142: Can you Find Love After a 24 Year Marriage?
    Aug 26 2024
    Guest: Jill Foos, National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBHWC) with a rich background in psychology and functional medicine health coaching.

    This week, we come to you with one of your favorite things to hear because it's HOPEFUL, a Smart Dating Academy real-life love story. Jill was a coaching client who found the lid to her pod and started her own business.

    Jill met her husband at a young age and they eloped to get married and had 5 kids. Jill started seeing the red flags early on, and that they were on separate pages just a few years into the marriage, but they stuck it out for 24 years and eventually got divorced.

    Jill and Bela met in 2018 when she wasn't dating yet. She knew she needed help getting back into the dating world and decided to start working with SDA. Lindsay and I helped Jill figure out what characteristics and traits she SHOULD BE looking for in a partner to make her happy -- vs. the standard "checklist" women often use!

    After setting up her dating profile on the apps, Jill really embraced the whole process and dated for about 18 months. What was her 'last first date'? A wonderful set-up date by a friend with a man named Noah. She immediately liked Noah during their first date because he made her laugh. This was during Covid, so they kept it slow and got creative with their dates.

    After about 6 months of dating, Jill moved a block away from Noah and half a year later her lease was up and she moved in with Noah. They have been in a relationship for 4 years now and are still going strong. The relationship feels easy and their blended family, which includes both of their kids, Jill's ex-husband and his new partner, gets along well and spend holidays together. And Jill started a new career as well, as one can when they have happy love! She is now a dedicated National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBHWC) and the founder of Jill Foos Wellness. She's helping women and look better at all ages, but especially during midlife.

    I hope that you are inspired by Jill's story. She felt like her life was shattered, but she built it back up step by step and is now in a better place than ever.

    This week on the podcast, I have the absolute pleasure to interview Elizabeth Earnshaw, a renowned Gottman therapist and bestselling author (she has a new book coming out in September!) who is the owner of a thriving family and marriage therapy practice. She is known for her popular Instagram account @lizlistens and has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, and more.

    Elizabeth and I delve into various crucial topics concerning relationships and stress management.

    We talk about:
    • What a healthy relationships is and what kind of stressors are faced by couples and singles
    • How to recognize and address stress in relationships, both external (work, family) and internal (relationship dynamics)
    • What "stress spillover" is in a relationship
    • The significance of emotional regulation in conflict resolution and the importance of taking pauses during heated moments
    • The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse in relationships
    • Recommended strategies like to de-escalate conflicts and regain composure before addressing issues
    • The importance of early stress recognition to prevent conflicts from escalating

    Elizabeth shares such valuable insights and this is a must listen if you want to focus on managing stress and fostering healthy communication in relationships.
