- How your level of burnout directly impacts your bedroom behavior

- How to handle resenting your partner and how to overcome being just "roommates" with your significant other (not just as it relates to physical intimacy, but emotional intimacy as well!)
- Why you MUST be selfish (and the history behind it)
- That it's crucial to take the time to explore what's unhealed in you- you can't do that when you're running from all the noise.
- Being booked and busy often boils down to the need to avoid ourselves and the issues we don't want to face
- Advice on how to heal attachment and abandonment wounds

- Ways to reignite the fire in your relationships
- The difference between your "forever love" being someone that you need vs. someone that you want. (And that sometimes the person you are with first isn't that forever love, and that's OKAY!)

- Shake the shame from the mistakes you've made!
- Navigating your way around relationships in the bedroom to the boardroom

- You can be GREAT and still have some stuff you need to work through/on; the challenge is awareness/acknowledgment of what needs to change.
- How to push past perfectionism and find value in vulnerability (without making everything about you!)
- Why we must all do a better job of listening to listen instead of listening to add our thoughts/feelings/beliefs
- To permit yourself to pause
- Why each person in a relationship needs to be SHAVED (seen, heard, appreciated, validated, edified, desired)
- That establishing more explicit boundaries will allow for a greater feeling of overall balance (boundaries around your devotion, habits, expectations, energy management capacity, perspectives, etc.)
- It's okay to change your mind and adjust your plans/actions accordingly. Learn to create your truth around what you want out of your life/business/relationships
- Self-love and self-care don't always look like the same thing. Are you doing what's necessary to nurture yourself?
