"Love scares me," she said. Truth be told, it is believed to be the reason why modern women have abandoned it to pursue other goals and ambitions. And sadly, why many women have convinced themselves that to choose love is to betray themselves. That's why this episode isn't full of fanciful anecdotes or passed-down pejoratives.

You hoped that the man you were attracted to was attracted to you too. And if he was, maybe just maybe it would lead to happily ever after. With age - and a few hard knocks - Suzette has gotten wiser. And it is that wisdom that she brings to whether physical attraction or friendship is more important in...

It was the first time it had ever happened in my adult life. And while talking with women over 35 at a recent Relationship Summit, I shared my experience to their awe. The notion of a relationship ending without hurt, pain, or heartache was pretty much unheard of.That inspired me to record today's episode.

With this episode, Suzette offers a safe space for some candid conversation about being Christian and single.

It doesn't matter whether the man filed for the divorce, the man is a known bad boy, the man behaved badly or the man is on social media looking sad, the woman invariably gets villified. And the media jumps on the band wagon, presenting as many pictures, social media posts, talks with someone "close" to the people involved as they can to bolster it. This ancient attitude that women are responsible for a...

And secondly, though it's confusing as heck to go to a relationship expert who tells you one thing, then another tells you something different and, add to that, your man challenges what you've been told, there is an answer.

But, when it starts to feel excessive, it can be really overwhelming. Worst, it could be a sign that your man is needy. While there is not a one-size-fits-all when it comes to men, there are certain behaviors that Suzette urges you not to get so caught up in the euphoria that you minimize. Likewise, today's episode centers around needy men and signs you should not rationalize away, lest you find yourself entrapped. If you are feeling overwhelmed by...

That's why in today's episode, she talks candidly about what we hear and how it affects a budding relationship. Strengthening weak areas often requires putting distance between you and contrary friends, especially in the early stages of getting to know someone. Suzette offers you an honest perspective and...
2022-05-2234 minEnough Factor PodcastS4-E9: Be HonestIt's more important to be honest than to be right. This is something I didn't know. In my community and home, being right was the goal. If you could convince someone you were right, you had won the argument. I now know that you can win the argument and lose the relationship. This episode is about the egoic need to be right. Like a skilled surgeon, Suzette cuts away all the rationales for it, what our true motivation is when we fight to be right and how it is doing the exact opposite of what we truly desire.

In this episode Suzette challenges relationship advice that operates in the clever but does absolutely nothing to address the real question, "Am I enough? And if so, why?" Instead of how-to's and should-I's, Suzette zeroes in on the misdiagnoses and mis-definitions that cloud your vision and your judgment and paves the way to your Authentic Truth. Clarity is everything! If you feel so turned around in your relationship that you can't determine what to do, reach out. Three...

That's why I balked at a post I saw on Facebook urging women, "if you are interested in a man, act like you're interested." And while I fully understand the intent of the post, as a woman who spent all of her adult life trying to be good enough for the men she wanted to want her, I know that "acting interested" does not guarantee anything. Besides, it's disempowering and...

Before you give me the strong woman roll of the eye that says, "I ain't desperate for nobody," let's look more closely. Many times, desperation is hiding behind that poker face and seemingly unbothered stance. In this episode, Suzette examines the desperation for answers, for validation, to feel alright again after failed relationships and the Destiny Vision that's required to heal.Is something inside of you declaring a different experience of love and have been praying for what to do? Who to connect with? Then I invite you...

An achievement soured by his bizarre waltz onto the Oscar stage, slapping Chris Rock only a few moments earlier. Although there has been much speculation as to his reasons, one thing's for sure, love had absolutely nothing to do with it.

That was me in all my adult relationships until my late 40’s. It wasn't for the lack of information out there about relationships. In response, Relationship Coach Tonika Maria said something that made me fall back in my chair. "What are you pretending not to know?", she asked! It was such a penetrating question that a surface answer just wouldn't do. Likewise, this episode goes deeply into the tendency in women to i...

She doesn’t wait for a man’s approval or blessing. She goes for her dreams. While that may sound empowered, in theory, the way you go after something speaks volumes. All too often, I see high achievers chase what belongs to someone else. I see the aspirationally successful run through caution lights and stop signs to have what amounts to someone else’s definition of success. Then when they arrive there, they are disappointed that it didn’t give them wha...

In this episode, Suzette exposes the blind spots of ambition and some of the misinformation that has been passed down from one ill-advised generation to another. Instead of continuing to pander the old definitions of our fore-parents, this age of enlightenment requires us to write a bolder, more robustly authentic definition.ABOUT METhis episode is a rea...

This episode is dedicated to him and highlights a particular interview that reveals the superior self knowledge essential to the new vision required by our new normal.
