Marni welcomes Lily Womble to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo discusses what holds successful women back from truly flourishing in the dating world? Lily, who shot to fame after a viral TikTok video is the founder and CEO of DateBrazen.com. She’s helped women overcome personal obstacles to achieve confidence and whole dating lives. It’s not just about finding the right relationship but about understanding what is keeping you stagnating.

*         How to live in your main character energy

*         You’re not too anything

*         Ask for what you want out loud

 

The Slot Machines of Dating [10:59]

 

Dating apps are built like slot machines; they’re designed to keep you wanting a little more. They give you just enough of what you need so that you come back for more.

 

It’s going to give you enough of the good stuff to keep you coming back, but not enough of the good stuff to get you in a relationship.

 

 

How to Really Move Forward [18:08]

 

Getting into the relationship isn’t the prize for healing. Healing is for you. And once you’ve done that, the relationship comes. Don’t compare your own dating life or relationship to others because you don’t know what is actually happening behind closed doors. None of us do.

 

The only thing separating people, I believe from finding the right relationship is giving themselves permission to want what they want.

 

Trust Yourself [23:44]

 

It seems obvious but self-trust is at the root of healing. Trust yourself to bless and release the people who are wrong for you. And don’t look back.

 

The more swiftly you bless and release the wrong people, the more swiftly you’ll find yourself in the best relationship.

Marni welcomes Dr.Heidi Brocke to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo delves into what being toxic actually means. It’s a buzz word that gets thrown around a lot but does anyone really know how to detect a toxic person? Heidi is a toxic relationship awareness and healing specialist. With a podcast that has over 1 million downloads, Heidi has worked with hundreds of people to help them get out of and heal from toxic relationships.

 

*         What does toxic actually mean?

*         How to decode unhealthy dynamics

*         How to clean up your social circle

 

Narcissistic Much? [09:27]

 

We’ve gotten used to throwing around certain labels and terms without ever actually understanding what they mean. And that includes the word toxic and narcissistic. However, they’re different. Many actually have narcissistic personality disorders because of something in their upbringing or something in their lives that has left them with that insecurity. Knowing the distinction between a disorder and an adjective is imperative.  

 

I chose the word toxic because it’s not a diagnosis. Toxic is an adjective. .

 

You Define What’s Healthy for You [14:19]

 

Instead of seeking validation for your decisions when it comes to who to include or exclude in your life by labeling them toxic, embrace that you have the agency to curate your own social circles. You decide who stays and who leaves. You don’t need to make excuses or throw around labels.

 

We’re all just trying to make sure that there’s something wrong with that person so that we can be validated in changing the relationship.

 

Your Normal Isn’t Everyone’s Normal [21:57]

 

Not everyone sees the world the same way. Sometimes when someone does something that doesn’t align with you, you’ll describe it as not being normal. It’s because that person isn’t acting like you would and as such it is out of the norm for you.

 

In reality, we are looking at them through our emotionally wired eyes.

Marni welcomes Anya Chernyshova to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo delves into the process of reinvention. What does it take to completely transform your life? It begins by letting go of the negative beliefs you have about yourself. Anya, who is one of Marni’s long-time clients, went through a reinvention herself where she managed to alter her life to adapt her vision. Understanding that you actually have the power to do it is empowering.

 

*         Don’t keep it festering

*         How to let go of blame

*         Forgiveness is key.

 

Are You Just Being Immature? [10:26]

 

Change begins when you start loving yourself. This mantra repeated to us over and over again because it’s true. But it’s not enough to just say it, you need to truly believe it. Let go of these negative beliefs you were told about yourself.

 

It’s such a different way of being when you truly love yourself.

 

Embracing Self-Advocacy [18:52]

 

Overcoming your fear and learning to ask for what you need not only helps you overcome challenges but it also fosters holistic sense of well-being. By embracing self-advocacy, you have the power to shape your career, relationships, and overall life with confidence and resilience.

 

Things really changed for me because I felt really powerful and I felt like I could advocate for myself.

 

An Evolving Soul [27:22]

 

Embrace life's changes, prioritize self-care, and remain open to unforeseen opportunities for profound personal and professional growth. Always listen to what your body is telling you. It knows what it’s talking about.

 

My body is the greatest gift that I have because she tells me when I need to pay attention immediately.

Marni welcomes Anapaula Corral to the Life Check Yourself studio where the duo delves into feminine energy, recognizing the dating mistakes and letting go of deep-rooted beliefs that may be doing more harm than good. Marni and Anapaula, who is an author, met on Instagram. After that meeting, Anapaula started doing the work with Marni and gaining insight on what it is that she was doing wrong in her dating life. The conversation between the two women explores notions of regained self-confidence, mindful dating, and the journey of self-love.

 

*         How to define your rules

*         Prioritize self-love

*         How to embrace your feminine energy

 

It Starts with a Strong Foundation [11:07]

 

Regain your self-confidence through self-reflection. Recognize the trauma that you’ve been holding onto and that has been affecting your life. Once you do that, you can begin to work on it and find your way back to your self-confidence.

 

Deep underneath there’s a shame that needs to be healed.

 

Own Your Feminine Energy [15:10]

 

You need to fall in love with yourself in order to be able to fall in love with someone else. Open yourself up and hold on to your self-worth. That’s where all the magic happens.

 

Being able to sit down with my feminine energy has definitely not only changed my life, but it has improved every area of my life.

 

Uncomfortable Conversations [27:54]

 

Relationships take time and patience. It’s not always smooth sailing. It is important to have uncomfortable conversations, to be honest, and to be transparent. That is what leads to growth and ultimately a more meaningful connection.

 

You need the map and the person that follows the map.
