In this episode I interview Best Selling Author and Podcast host, Tiffany Johnson. At the age of 21, Tiffany’s adventure started in the search for self-discovery, as many young people do as a rite of passage. After leaving home at 17, going to university and falling in love with the wrong man, Tiffany was finally brave enough to leave and pursue adventure. She explored Europe in hope of finding her missing puzzle piece. And she found it, only the day before her life would change forever. Tiffany is a survivor from the 1999 Swiss Canyoning Disaster, where 21 young people lost their lives. It wasn’t until she returned home that the extent of her injuries were discovered.  5 broken bones, including a broken leg, dislocation to her jaw and soft tissue damage. Through damage sustained in the flood waters, her pancreas no longer works. Tiffany is now an insulin dependent diabetic. Like many survivors of this event and others similar to it, she also struggled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. After months back home, she finally began to truly listen to her own inner voice. She realised that no matter how dire things seem, the human spirt can overcome anything. Her determination to live her best life, not just for herself but for her friends that were lost has showered her in determination for their story and hers to never be forgotten. And now it is time fo Tiffany to go back to the place that changed her life. Tiffany has shared her story on Channel 7 News, Sunrise and ABC Radio National. Her new book Brave Enough Now is on sale now. Tiffany presents her inspirational message based her themes of resilience, truth, and listening, helping audiences to make a positive change to their own lives.

In this episode, we review Season 1, Episode 1 of the Netflix reality show, Dating Around.  We discuss the premise of the show, and we take a close look at the first date flirting style of the women on the show.  We get to see, first hand, how nervous we all get on date one (not to mention when there are cameras following you around!), and how we act when we are trying to connect with or attract someone else.  

From guarded, to ironic, to no filter flirt, to abrasiveness, we have got it all here!  So much so, that at the start of the episode, we say we are going to review Luke and Lex's episode, but we run out of time!

Enjoy our deconstruction of flirting styles, and see if you can see yourself in anyone here!

In this episode I (Amy) interview Yael Rosenstock Gonzales, a sex educator researcher coach and author founder of  Kaleidoscope Vibrations, a company dedicated to supporting people in finding confidence in their identities through which they can find community and build representation. In this episode we discuss 

• How we form our identities when we are younger 
• How we are forced into identities and how the static nature of identities are for other's convenience 
• How those perceptions influence us later in life What we are told femininity should look or feel like, and what happens when we do not look or feel that way 
• How two separate people can perceive the same experience differently 

Yael and I discuss these intense topics, that  influence how we see ourselves  and therefore influence how we present ourselves in the world and who we attract into our lives. And we address these topics by discussing the 1990's sitcom, The Nanny, and how we each received messages about what it means to be a sexy Jewish woman in very different ways because of our upbringings, our influences and our genetics.  

Tune in for this very raw and real conversation and let the self reflection begin!

In this episode, I chat with Veronika Winski, who works with corporate women to help them recondition unhealthy mindsets and behavior patterns and step into their dream lives. In our conversation we discuss how scary it can be to leave what is comfortable and move towards what we deep inside know we need- and that this is true in our careers and in our relationships. We also discuss how, if we do not feel like we fit into the "norm" (aka what is expected of us as women) we sometimes bring a combative energy with us, because we are expecting to be rejected because we don't fit the right mold. Check out our full conversation here, and let us know what you think!

In this episode Amber Renae and I speak all things self-love.  Amber is a civil engineer, acclaimed fashion stylist and leading e-learning specialist from Australia. With three six-figure businesses under her belt, she has defied all the odds and challenges thrown her way to crack the entrepreneurial code and design her own dream life.  Amber is a huge advocate for self-love. Life isn’t about waiting for ‘the one’ to swoop in. It’s about realising that we are born complete and that the feeling of completeness people try to find in others really comes from within. Relationships can trick you into throwing your power away and to define your happiness according to another person, but Amber decided to take her power back. She got down on one knee, bought herself a beautiful ring and made a commitment to herself. That commitment was to put herself first, put her happiness first and achieve complete self-love and self-acceptance.  Since her self-proposal in 2016, Amber has made it her mission to help empower people all over the world to take control of their lives, careers and mindsets. She’s done this through several hugely successful e-courses, and most recently was chosen as the leading expert to create an online education program for a new reality series. Dream Life Los Angeles which premiered on the FYI Network last Sunday. The show follows Amber and her team members as they build this program and see what it’s like to date in Hollywood. Now Amber is taking all her experience in love, life and career, and everything she’s experienced between home and Hollywood, and writing the ultimate book to help people create their own ‘dream life’.  Completeness starts from within, and Amber is empowering everyone to take that energy back and channel it into designing their own happiness by putting themselves first. It all starts with self-love and self-acceptance. In this episode we chat about so many things!  The biggest takeaways are: How she recovered from a history of toxic relationships and self hate How important it is to follow your heart, even if no one else seems to understand it Why it is important to be clear regarding what you want from a partner How to notice and push through what's blocking you from happiness How to face and overcome the fear that men are intimidated by success If you are interested in what Amber has to offer, check out her e-courses here.

In our final review of the Netflix sensation, Indian Matchmaking, returning guest, Poornima and I (Amy) discuss:  When it’s the right time to reveal secrets of your past,  How we can be seduced by expectations to move forward in a situation that is not working,  Can you build your biz, be independent, and find a partner?  Enjoy!! Jenn and Amy Successful, Single,& Not Willing to Settle

Our short answer is...NO! We deconstruct the impact being told that you need to "increase your feminine energy" has on your psyche, your dating results, and the men you are dating.  And our conclusion is that it is not about increasing your feminine energy, it's about your authentic energy.  And just because you know who you are, that doesn't mean you know how to be who you are on a date or in a relationship! We discuss the work we did and the work we do with our clients to help them dig through some of their unhelpful stories to embrace who they are when they are dating!  And we are offering you a program that helps you do this for a limited amount of time for only $37! If you are ready to no longer allow your past pain to get in the way of your next relationship, and  if you are ready to get in touch with how awesome you are and what you deserve click here for our program while it is still available!

In this review, returning guest, Poornima and I (Amy) discuss the difference between matchmaking and an online algorithm (if there is a difference), the definition of Monster-in-law, and the toxicity of generations of women telling other women that they have to change and be flexible because their future husband’s lives will be more important than theirs. Oh yeah, I get pretty heated in this one. You don’t want to miss it!
