I don’t know when to ZIP it

I don’t know when to ZIP it

DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE NOT ENGAGING? I'm the queen of this when someone or something is a trigger. I did it a lot post divorce with my EX & I fell into a trap recently again. I always imagine what the 'perfect response' would be and I do the opposite. Landing myself in Looney Tune Land...again

I’m tired of myself doing this while at the same time I tend to want to get out how I feel. I shouldn’t have reacted but I did and Here’s where I go from here?


If only my reactiveness was used for good in the world, leave a response to the episode or comment on the podcast page.

TINDER TRUE LOVE?

Eykiena “Keena” Crowley is the Founder and CEO of My Thriving Life Academy. Keena Crowley is an amazing woman, mom, veteran, divorce coach, therapist, and a kick ASS hero to many women. We discuss Keena's path through the army, as a single parent with a child with special needs, and how to trust again when these apps trigger our 'crazy' button, ok just mine. Also TINDER brought her love, yes TINDER. Cue me to start my profile.  


Keena and I talked about how to let go,  pivot, and find love after divorce. Keena's unique story will inspire you to get up and get started on your goals and wants.   If you have a mindset that needs to shift about overcoming obstacles before, during, or after divorce THIS is the episode you want to listen to. Keena has overcome obstacles like no other and she's the happiest, brightest person I have talked to in a long time.

Don't Trust a Man in Diapers to Bring You Love

Don't Trust a Man in Diapers to Bring You Love

Cupid or Comedy? I constantly struggle with finding 'the love' of a lifetime, the romance that will sweep me off my mismatched socks covered feet, BUT I roast majority of the men I date or interact with...so. I guess comedy will always win over Cupid? Unless 'the one' just embraces who I am without making me shift right? This episode I talk about being on set wit ha cute camera guy, my upcoming shows, self worth, and almost spilling my coffee all over the place-as usual.
