      <title>Best of Attachment Styles, Emotional Regulation, &amp; Hyper Independance</title>
      <description>Welcome to another clash of episodes of Deeply Connected that dives deep into the roller-coaster ride of  attachment, emotion, and independence. We're diving headfirst into those "aha" moments—those times when life throws curveballs that completely shake things up. It's about facing the music and realizing that transformation often crashes into our lives unexpectedly! Relationships, personal growth, and all that good stuff—we're covering it all! From the struggle of trusting love to nailing down those crucial boundaries and a mission to empower us to break free from self-imposed limits. Consider it the ultimate soul pep talk!

This episode is an invitation to turn inward. Yep, get ready for some self-reflection! We're delving into examining our life choices, patterns, and those sneaky power dynamics that creep into our daily interactions. It's all about celebrating the strength in leaning on one another, fostering support, and challenging the idea that we've got to navigate everything solo. Let's call it the "de-glorification" of the never-ending hustle! So, grab those headphones and get ready for a ride that'll have you questioning, contemplating, and maybe even redefining what you thought you knew about life. It's time for some serious soul-searching!

KEY POINTS:
-Your life changes when present pain becomes unbearable, prompting tough decisions
-Transform for fulfillment by consciously breaking patterns within yourself
-Identify and address boundary issues for a healthier relationship
-Question the relationship if expressing yourself faces dismissal or threats
-Proving yourself independently may hinder personal and relational fulfillment
-Celebrate valuing support and connection over going it alone

QUOTABLES:

"If you want that man and that love in your life, you literally have to decide." -Ludmila Woodruff

"Uncertainty is just part of life" -Ludmila Woodruff

"When you master with time the boundary setting skill, you will have so much freedom in your life, just so much freedom in being authentically you." -Ludmila Woodruff

"I want to celebrate women who are now deciding to claim that they are worthy of saying no, that we don't have to do it alone, that we can be supported and rely on men in our life, even on our friends." -Ludmila Woodruff

      <title>Best of Femininity &amp; Sensuality</title>
      <description>Are you ready for a seriously eye-opening clash of episodes that's like a GPS navigating the wild world of modern femininity and sensuality? Well, buckle up as Ludmila takes us back to some of her insightful episodes that dives deep into the uncharted territory, challenging old-school beliefs and societal norms that just don't fit anymore.

Listen to Ludmila while she busts the myth that women have to choose between being independent and seeking validation from men. It's like saying goodbye to those old expectations and embracing a new, more authentic version of ourselves.

Let's talk about the corporate jungle—how it clashes with our innate feminine qualities. It's a real clash of worlds! But fear not, this episode doesn't just point out the problems; it's all about finding that balance.

Ambition vs. sensuality—oh, it's a fine line, right? Ludmila is all about encouraging women to dive into their sensuality and prioritize pleasure in the midst of life's chaos. It's a reminder to stop and smell the roses, even when things get crazy.

Join Ludmila in exploring the secrets of keeping that spark alive in relationships! Communication, experimentation, and self-discovery are the magic ingredients. This isn't just about maintaining a relationship; it's about nurturing an authentic connection that's fulfilling and true to your feminine identity.

So, grab your headphones and get ready to join this rollercoaster ride of introspection, fun, and real talk about what it means to be a modern woman navigating relationships.

KEY POINTS:
-The need for self-sufficiency can lead to misconceptions
-Repaying financial support with a sexual debt creates low-vibe thinking
-It's about who you are, not just what you do
-Reflect your relationship with sensuality
-Beyond goals, recognizing the value of pleasure is crucial for feeling alive

QUOTABLES:
"You don't want to be a burden. I'm sure you don't want to be a burden." - Ludmila Woodruff
"I don't say there is a right or wrong way to be a woman or a man. It's up to you what you decide.” -Ludmila Woodruff
"It is challenging because it's challenging the whole system." -Ludmila Woodruff
"Pleasure itself is valuable for the feelings of aliveness." -Ludmila Woodruff

It’s time to deep dive into what you need, feel, and heal to create successful relationships. Join Ludmila in this conversation and discover ways to have a secure and stable relationship that still sparks attraction and desire.

“This lack of connection and ability to grieve and cry, and even express anger in a healthy way to yourself with yourself transfers to dating and your marriage.” - Ludmila Woodruff

      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/s2-ep10-finding-the-joy-in-grief-how-to-sit-heal-through-your-grief-with-ludmila-woodruff</link>
      <description>Grief is as painful as it is inevitable, and whether it’s losing a job or a loved one, having a miscarriage, or going through a breakup, experiencing grief is undeniably one of the most difficult experiences you will have in your life.
 In today’s episode, Ludmila talks about this complex yet common emotion that we all experience at one point or another. Ludmila shares her own painful story of losing her own loved ones and how she navigated the immense grief that came with it, as well as the practices she put in place to provide herself and others with support. You will also learn that there is joy to be found in grief and that in this painful experience comes the opportunity for celebration as well. 
 So if you are currently going through your own moment of grief, know that you are not alone. Join Ludmila as she navigates this journey with you so that you can not only learn to sit and heal through your grief, but also learn to embrace the joy that comes with it. 
  
 KEY POINTS:
  Grief and its various forms in society 
 How to navigate, process, &amp; heal from grief
 The importance of foundational support in grieving moments
 How healing from grief starts from connecting with yourself &amp; others
 Types of rituals for grief and why they are essential for healing 
 Why grief is a personal process 
 Figuring out the next step and taking time to heal at your own pace 
 Ludmila’s ritual process with somatic breathwork
 Awareness is key: Have a mindset shift &amp; find ways to create joyful moments
   
 QUOTABLES:
 “Rituals help you to really see that there is something organized; that there is a structure to it when it's happening. If you have to work throughout the day, you can really shift your mindset to: ‘This is what I need to be doing right now, this is where I'm present. And I know that I've created space-time for myself to really be with what happens.’”
 “Understand that we are human. We are made for connection and ask for what you need. Don't judge yourself for the process. Be open to sitting with grief.”
 “Find ways how you can create memories with people and yourself.”

      <title>S2 EP9: Why We Choose The Pain of The Situation Over The Pain of Change</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/s2-ep9-why-we-choose-the-pain-of-the-situation-over-the-pain-of-change</link>
      <description>If you are constantly finding yourself repeating the same toxic patterns in your dating life, this episode is for you, because believe it or not, avoiding the pain of change will only cause you more heartbreak. 
 In this episode, Ludmila explains how our brain’s neural connections influence the way we behave and the things we avoid, such as change. However, you will soon learn how to not only surrender yourself to the pain of change but also embrace it as part of your growth and who you are. It’s time to start working on your emotional turmoil (aka survival responses) into proactive strategies to deeply connect with yourself!
 So, tune into this episode, and reflect on how to lead with courage as you step into your higher self and chase your heart’s desires with Ludmila today! 
  
 KEY POINTS:
  The emotional sufferings of dating unavailable men 
 Seeking love in the wrong places = abandoning yourself 
 Be courageous to face the pain of change
 How to avoid your toxic repetitive patterns 
 Relearn how to interact with yourself &amp; your dream partner!
 Learn to embrace uncertainty 
 Work on your habits and survival responses 
   
 QUOTABLES:
 “Your primitive brain will give you all the reasons why just repeating the pain of today is better than repeating — and not repeating — but engaging in the pain of change.”
 “Every time you keep choosing yourself and the next version of your desire – in love, in life, in business, and whatever that is, the more you can connect to that [and] the more you know what you are fighting for.”

      <title>S2 EP8: How to Balance Feminine and Masculine Energies in All Our Relationships</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/s2-ep8-how-to-balance-feminine-and-masculine-energies-in-all-our-relationships</link>
      <description>In this episode of Deeply Connected. Ludmila Woodruff takes a deep dive into the feminine-masculine energy dynamics in a romantic partnership. She will also be talking about the importance of authentic self-expression, working on your repetitive toxic patterns, and avoiding the state of neediness towards your lover. 
 Find out how to not only tap into but balance your feminine and masculine energies to create a conscious relationship with yourself and your partner. Ludmila also shares some tips on how to raise your partner’s toxic patterns in a healthy, non-confrontational way. It’s time we start embracing all facets of ourselves and our partners - tune in to learn How to Balance Feminine and Masculine Energies in All Our Relationships with  Ludmila Woodruff today!
  
 KEY POINTS:
  Ways for men and women to create conscious relationships
 How to have logical conversations with an overly emotional partner 
 How repetitive patterns trigger old wounds 
 The difference between pursuing and being needy
 Tapping into your feminine and masculine energy
 The difference between expressing your needs and being needy
 The importance of working on intimacy, connection, and uncertainty 
 Understanding the need for space, boundaries, &amp; personality dynamics
   
 QUOTABLES:
 “We are all humans. As I say masculine and feminine energy is gender neutral, we both experienced that.”
 “How are you feeling? Are you feeling this mess? Are you feeling not important? Because when the pattern activation is repetitive, it means it comes from some early wounding within the relationship between the parent and the child.” 
 “We need to work together – [as] both men and women – being open to feedback, being open to really radical self-responsibility, being okay and non-judgmental with our emotional states that we present in relationships, but also owning it.”

      <title>S2 EP7: From Panic to Power: Conquering Hypervigilance with Ludmila</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/s2-ep7-from-panic-to-power-conquering-hypervigilance-with-ludmila</link>
      <description>Have you ever felt stuck in a void of looping insomnia, intrusive thoughts, or a state of hypervigilance? 
 In this episode of Deeply Connected, Ludmila dives into the topic of anxiety and how to calm both our mind and body to overcome it. Ludmila explores the root causes of anxiety and unravels the intricate relationship between our nervous system and bodily responses. With real-life examples, she sheds light on how we need to protect ourselves and bring ourselves to a place of safety. She also shares her thoughts on Dr. Gabor Maté’s ‘curious compassion’ and how it can help you recognize, feel, or sense your body. 
 Ludmila also provides a wide array of techniques and ways to calm down your anxiety by tapping into your senses – be it dancing to great music, tasting a feel-good food to enhance your mood, or smelling an evocative scent that brings you to specific nostalgic moments. So, turn your panic into power by tuning in on this episode. Let your mind, body, and soul connect with that state of calmness and peace that you truly deserve with Ludmila today! 
  
 KEY POINTS:
  Understanding anxiety and its root cause 
 The importance of feeling connected and safe
 Calming down your body and connecting with mindset work
 What is ‘sympathetic activation’ and its fight-or-flight response impact 
 Learning to trust yourself again
 How anxiety can be caused by emotionally dysregulated parents
 What are ‘parasympathetic responses’ and techniques to calm down the nervous system
 Reconnecting with your feminine/masculine energy
 Dr. Gabor Maté’s ‘curious compassion’ and how it helps the body 
 Ways how to deal with anxiety with your senses (like breath work)
   
 QUOTABLES:
 “If you are in fight-flight, meaning sympathetic nervous system response — that response is activated within your body, it will be very hard for you to have calming/supportive type of thoughts that can give you some kind of solutions for what you are really facing.”
 “In this process of working with anxiety and understanding anxiety, you need to get out from your head and get into your body first – learning how to feel and sense. What are the sensations that I'm feeling in my chest? What are the sensations I'm feeling in my throat? I always advise you to close your eyes.”

      <title>S2 EP6: Let's Talk About Sex</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/s2-ep6-lets-talk-about-sex</link>
      <description>What comes into your mind when you hear the word ‘sex’? With sex often comes shame for many of us women, but it’s time we stop denying ourselves pleasure and start embracing our sexuality! 
 In this episode, Ludmila dispels the belief that women don’t have as high of a sex drive as men, and takes a deep dive into our relationship with desire in our culture, upbringing, and even past trauma. Ludmila also paints a picture of what healthy and fulfilling sex should look &amp; feel like for you; as mentioned by Ludmila who quoted Esther Perel, “The next orgasm starts at the end of the previous one,” tune in to find out how ways to explore your body, different types of sensations, and ways to have fun with your body and your partner! 
 Remember, having better sex is all about embracing our own sexuality, prioritizing our pleasure, and fostering open communication with our special partner. So, tune in to this episode and discover the wonderful world of fulfilling sexual experiences together with Ludmila today! 
  
 KEY POINTS:
  Sexuality for Women vs Men
 How do you experience desire and pleasure with your partner? 
 How was sex discussed in your household?
 What does it even feel like or look like to have healthy sex?
 How comfortable are you with saying ‘no’?
 The importance of working through your trauma to experience pleasure &amp; intimacy 
 Ways to be intimate with and open to your partner’s preferences
 Exploring self-pleasure with different methods of arousal (sex toys)
 Identifying your preferences, non-negotiables, and boundaries in sexual experiences 
   
 QUOTABLES:
 “I want women and men to be able to claim their own pleasure, but especially women because we've been denied that part of our being for such a long time — we've been taught to be a good girl, [and] make sure everybody's happy.”
 “When we look at the dynamic in sensuality and sexuality, let's just say, men had the permission for more of it in their own life for centuries. And for us, women, we are trying to figure out our relationship to that desire within ourselves.”

      <title>S2 EP5: The Cost of Uber Independence in High-Achieving Women</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/s2-ep5-the-cost-of-uber-independence-in-high-achieving-women</link>
      <description>To all the strong, independent, and successful women out there - Cheers to you! In this episode, Ludmila sits down and calls out to all you high-achieving women out there to slow down and remember to tap into your feminine energy. 
 While you absolutely deserve to celebrate the fierce spirit and unwavering resilience that have brought you to where you are - hyper independence comes at a high cost, especially in your relationships. That is why beyond your accolades and accomplishments, it is also important to connect with your femininity and emotional vulnerability with your partner. 
 Tune in as Ludmila reveals the costs of uber independence in relationships, ways to slow down and stop operating out of anxiety, and the things you can do to start bringing pleasure into your life — be it cooking pasta from scratch, listening to our favorite artist’s music, or buying some nice fresh flowers at the store! (Have you done any of these things recently? If not, you should! You deserve to celebrate yourself, and the woman you are to become.)
 Remember that it’s okay be your own lady boss while at the same time being open to receiving. So, join in this conversation with Ludmila and learn how to create a fulfilling life and a deep relationship with your partner as an uber-independent woman today! 
  
 KEY POINTS:
  Tapping into your feminine energy 
 Who are you beyond your accolades and achievements? 
 The balance between being open to receiving and leading 
 How being too productive can be a form of a trauma response
 Learn how to slow down and don’t pressure yourself! 
 The importance of celebrating yourself as a woman
 How women can thrive without sacrificing their life in pursuit
 Deciding who you can become as a woman 
   
 QUOTABLES:
 “You don't have to be all the time in this fight-flight state — where if you take a break, you think it's not productive. And this is what I see a lot with successful women.”
 “I think we need to celebrate the understanding of successful women that we are ready to let go of the pressure and of the responses within ourselves that think — if we don't do more, we are not deserving. And we don't know how relaxation even looks like. I want to celebrate women who are now deciding to claim that they are worthy of saying that: We don't have to do it alone. We can be supported and rely on men in our life, even on our friends.’”

      <title>S2 EP3: When, How, &amp; Why do Men Decide to Commit?</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/s2-ep3-when-how-why-do-men-decide-to-commit</link>
      <description>Do you constantly feel like you’re the chaser in the relationship? Do you often find yourself feeling confused about how the man you’re dating truly feels about you? If your answer is yes, then this episode is for you. 
  
 In this episode of Deeply Connected, Ludmila shares the reasons that lead men to decide on whether or not they want to commit. Ludmila also highlights that we don’t have to be any different or do anything different in order to make a man commit to us - so what is it that we should be doing? Tune in to this episode to learn more about the next move of men; when, how and why they decide to commit, and if he is the perfect match for you with Ludmila! 
  
 KEY POINTS:
  Understanding how men decide when they want to commit to you
 The energy you bring in dating = the energy you attract in men
 When do YOU decide to commit? 
 Signs a man is ready to commit to you
 How to find a great match and know the dynamic between the both of you
 Vulnerability shows that a man is more connected to you
 Consistency and feeling at ease are some of the good signs
   
 QUOTABLES:
 “There is a difference between men who are ready and men who are still playing. And it takes a special type of a woman to recognize which is which.”
  
 “So ladies, if in your dating life right now, you feel frantic, you feel anxious, you feel like nothing is working out — Let me promise you, it's not the man in a way. It's something within you that you are still not facing. Because the man that is ready to choose you, when you figure this out, is just around the corner.”

 Join Ludmila as she explains how when you fail to set boundarie, you are in turn abandoning yourself. Learning to accept and sit in the discomfort of saying no requires skill, and that skill can only come with lots, and lots of practice.

 - Why women struggle with boundaries
 - Showing up as yourself 
 - Overcoming the challenge of saying “no”
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “Boundary means having the ability to communicate your values, your non-negotiables, your limitations, your preferences — everything that supports you in feeling just amazing in your own life. ”
 “If we embrace the beauty and freedom of boundaries for us all, may we all stay deeply connected to ourselves and those around us.“

 It’s time to connect deeply with yourself and learn to become a boundary boss with Ludmila today - tune in to find out how!  
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - Setting healthy boundaries 
 - Boundaries are not punishments
 - What are boundaries for?
 - How to communicate your boundaries to your friends and loved ones
 - Why women struggle with boundaries
 - Showing up as yourself 
 - Overcoming the challenge of saying “no”
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “Boundary means having the ability to communicate your values, your non-negotiables, your limitations, your preferences — everything that supports you in feeling just amazing in your own life. ”
 “If we embrace the beauty and freedom of boundaries for us all, may we all stay deeply connected to ourselves and those around us.“

      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep13</link>
      <description>Ludmila has served as an expert relationship coach on Jessica Hurley’s podcast, Rich in Real Life, so many times that it’s long overdue for Ludmila to get a taste of the hot seat!
  
 In this episode takeover, we get a very behind-the-scenes look at the real Ludmila Woodruff - why she does what she does, who she was before life coach, and the things that really matter to her. From the culture shock of leaving Poland to hitting rock bottom to meeting the child version of herself in her own children, tune in for a rare glimpse of your host and her journey to becoming deeply connected.
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - Who was Ludmila before life coach?
 - The defining moment in Ludmila’s life
 - Motherhood makes and breaks you 
 - How Ludmila found coaching through her marriage 
 - You can’t skip the process - healing takes TIME!
 - “Pain transforms you if you allow it.”
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “It was a very defining moment for me. I realized it's me. I'm creating those relationships. I'm allowing myself to be that woman that just chases man and then settles.” - Ludmila Woodruff
 “How do I allow myself to break and choose that this isn't working? And I have the power to change it. But I have to first accept that it's not okay. And it's not where I want to be.” - Jessica Hurley
 “I've learned the more you resist something, the more it just keeps coming up for you. It's an invitation.” - Ludmila Woodruff

      <title>S1 EP11: The Untold Realities of Motherhood</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep11-the-untold-realities-of-motherhood</link>
      <description>We are told by so many that motherhood will be the best experience of your life - you will be joyful, excited, and even elevated. You are even expected to be happy at all times. But is this the real experience of motherhood? Or does the truth look more like exhaustion, overwhelm, and confusion?
  
 In this episode, Ludmila creates a space for an honest conversation about motherhood and speaks from her own experience of self-exploration when motherhood broke her and made her again. Because no book or course can prepare you for the role of a lifetime, and if you are struggling, it is okay!
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - The all-consuming truth of motherhood 
 - Challenges motherhood can bring to a relationship  
 - Why is there a stigma around the struggles of motherhood?
 - How children are mirrors of ourselves 
 - Acceptance, grace, and compassion 
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “I remember talking to my own mom, and she told me, wow, I'm so happy for you. You are entering the best chapter of your life. And then we had our first son. And I looked in the mirror, and I couldn't recognize the person I was looking at. I had no idea who I was.” - Ludmila Woodruff
 “So many women struggle in silence. And it doesn't have to be a struggle in silence. It can be an open communication and conversation that we all can have as a society, as culture, as communities, and as families.” - Ludmila Woodruff
 “You can only love your kids and extend kindness to them to the extent that you do that for yourself.” - Ludmila Woodruff

      <title>S1 EP10: Regulating Our Nervous System and Responses in Relationships</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep10-regulating-our-nervous-system-and-responses-in-relationships</link>
      <description>Take a deep breath. How does your body feel? Now if you are saying to yourself, I don’t have time for this, this does not bring me income, or you believe you just need to think in more positive ways…this episode is for you!
  
 While we often talk about mindset, in this episode, Ludmila does not want you to forget the importance of understanding your body and nervous system, especially in how it responds to triggers in your relationships. So how do you attend to your emotions? How do you deal with them? How can you regulate yourself more to be a safe space not only for yourself but for others?
  
 Tune in, start understanding your body’s responses and work with your nervous system rather than against it with Ludmila today!
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - Our nervous system and its responses
 - Fight, flight, appease, and freeze
 - What actually happens when we get activated/triggered?
 - How to navigate feeling dysregulated
 - Practice! Change takes time
 - Rewiring our nervous system to have a wider window of tolerance 
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “We keep blaming other people. We want them to change. They need to make us feel better. So we find ourselves very controlling because we don't know how to control our emotions. We feel out of control inside. So we try to control everything outside of us.”
 “When you navigate conflict you need to start creating different experiences that will create different emotions. So we're really rewiring your brain and your nervous system.”

      <title>S1 EP9: Radical Self-Responsibility: Learn How To Own Your Patterns &amp; Regulate Your Emotions</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep9-radical-self-responsibility-learn-how-to-own-your-patterns-regulate-your-emotions</link>
      <description>In the society we live in today, we glorify working hard, hustling, and doing anything and everything to meet our goals. But in this episode, Ludmila wants to glorify another part of the human experience and one that is essential for relationships to thrive - feelings!
  
 Tune in as Ludmila changes the conversation around the sensitive topic of feelings and explores why, if we want to heal, we need to be able to feel.
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - What are feelings, really?
 - The connection between your caregivers and your relational/emotional blueprint 
 - It is okay to feel! Normalize it!
 - Your feelings aren’t going anywhere, so let’s explore them
 - Understanding the way your emotional experience impacts your relationships 
 - Techniques to help navigate uncomfortable feelings 
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “We need to start normalizing that it is okay to feel, that feelings belong in this realm of our experience in this physical world. And there is more beyond thinking positively - this is toxic.”
 “If we don't take time to be curious and compassionate and courageous about our emotional way of being, it's hard to connect, and we all want to belong and connect.”

      <itunes:summary>In the society we live in today, we glorify working hard, hustling, and doing anything and everything to meet our goals. But in this episode, Ludmila wants to glorify another part of the human experience and one that is essential for relationships to thrive - feelings!
  
 Tune in as Ludmila changes the conversation around the sensitive topic of feelings and explores why, if we want to heal, we need to be able to feel.
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - What are feelings, really?
 - The connection between your caregivers and your relational/emotional blueprint 
 - It is okay to feel! Normalize it!
 - Your feelings aren’t going anywhere, so let’s explore them
 - Understanding the way your emotional experience impacts your relationships 
 - Techniques to help navigate uncomfortable feelings 
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “We need to start normalizing that it is okay to feel, that feelings belong in this realm of our experience in this physical world. And there is more beyond thinking positively - this is toxic.”
 “If we don't take time to be curious and compassionate and courageous about our emotional way of being, it's hard to connect, and we all want to belong and connect.”

      <title>S1 EP8: The Unbecoming &amp; Becoming of Who You Are</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep8-the-unbecoming-becoming-of-who-you-are</link>
      <description>We often hear of taking our power back, but what does that even mean? And what does it look like?
  
 In this episode, Ludmila shares why you don’t need to take your power back, something that is always within you, but reconnect with your true essence - unbecoming who you were never meant to be and becoming who you were always meant to be. So how do we shift from this way of doing more to being more?
  
 Tune in to find out as your Deeply Connected life coach encourages you to make some edits in your life and claim what you want from yourself, in yourself, and from your life. 
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - Do you know who you are right now?
 - What’s the cost of choosing yourself over and over again?
 - Get clear on what you don’t like in your life!
 - Are you constantly operating in the masculine?
 - You are worthy! You are priceless! 
 - Allow yourself to be more rather than do more
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “Understanding that it is always you and always you before anybody else that decides how you're going to feel in your life and what you will feel about yourself in your own existence.
 “The power that you are taking back, it's always within you. There is always access to the self-leadership and the authentic self that always lives within you.”

      <title>S1 EP7: Navigating Conflict &amp; Leaning into Femininity with Jackie V.</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep7-navigating-conflict-leaning-into-femininity-with-jackie-v</link>
      <description>Preparing herself to be a mother of a baby boy, former client Jackie reached out for guidance, realizing she needed to change the narrative she held around men. And who better to motivate and push you out of your comfort zone than Ludmila?!
  
 From embracing her femininity to processing the internal challenges from childhood stuck in our subconscious, tune in as Jackie shares her journey of letting go, getting out of her own way, and allowing herself to receive.
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - Letting go of control, especially in uncertain times 
 - Why did Jackie seek out Ludmila’s guidance?
 - The relationship blueprint we receive from our parents 
 - How to self-regulate and navigate conflict safely 
 - Removing masculine energy and learning to receive 
 - Is a life coach for everyone?
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “What I found through our sessions was that I was moving way too in my masculine and not allowing my partners to do and be who they wanted.”
 “It's a lot of behaviors that as a child I picked up on subconsciously and didn't realize that I was then translating to my relationships as I grew older.”

      <title>S1 EP6: The Keys to Conscious Dating &amp; Relationships</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep6-the-keys-to-conscious-dating-relationships</link>
      <description>This episode is for all the single ladies! If you have been on the dating scene for some time now, you may be wondering, where are all the good men?! Is the institution of marriage flawed? Are men really that horrendous? Or am I just choosing wrong?
  
 Tune in as your host Ludmila discusses how to recognize if you and someone you are dating are compatible and gets real about the things you need to look out for if you want a successful relationship that stands a chance of decades together. 
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - What are your values? Get clear on what matters to you!
 - The difference between lust and a deep long-term relationship
 - Negotiables and deal-breakers 
 - How do you both treat money?
 - Why you need to recognize your personality and lifestyle 
 - Hold yourself to your own boundaries!  
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “We cannot create a conscious relationship if we keep downplaying what really matters to us. And we keep downplaying the importance of matching our values.”
 “There is a difference between lust and sexual attraction and a deep long-term relationship. Not even the best sex in life will compensate for the lack of support and values and stability that you are looking for if you want to have a stable relationship."

      <title>S1 EP5: What Are Your Attachment Styles &amp; How Do They Affect Your Relationships?</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep5-what-are-your-attachment-styles-how-do-they-affect-your-relationships</link>
      <description>When we speak about attachments, boundaries, and how to build self-esteem and confidence, your host Ludmila reminds us that we can not only look at behaviors themselves. Behaviors are just a symptom of something bigger, our learned way of being in this world. So how can we better understand where our behaviors come from and better understand ourselves?
  
 Tune in as Ludmila dives into attachment styles, how to integrate our stuck memories, and guides us to be more securely attached and support ourselves when we feel anxious, avoidant, or disorganized.
  
 Because you make sense! And when we better understand the way we bond and connect to others, the more grace we will have for ourselves and the people around us. 
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - What is attachment style?
 - Secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment  
 - “Every behavior comes back to a schema”
 - Why it’s so important to understand where our behaviors come from
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “Attachment is fluid, and it's changeable. And you are not your attachment style.”
 “This is like a snapshot of the situation connected to a feeling. And it's stuck in your nervous system and your body because it wasn't yet integrated. Because when those situations happen, we respond from our emotional brain, not from our logical brain.”

 - “Every behavior comes back to a schema”
 - Why it’s so important to understand where our behaviors come from
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “Attachment is fluid, and it's changeable. And you are not your attachment style.”
 “This is like a snapshot of the situation connected to a feeling. And it's stuck in your nervous system and your body because it wasn't yet integrated. Because when those situations happen, we respond from our emotional brain, not from our logical brain.”

        <![CDATA[<p>When we speak about attachments, boundaries, and how to build self-esteem and confidence, your host Ludmila reminds us that we can not only look at behaviors themselves. Behaviors are just a symptom of something bigger, our learned way of being in this world. So how can we better understand where our behaviors come from and better understand ourselves?</p> <p> </p> <p>Tune in as Ludmila dives into attachment styles, how to integrate our stuck memories, and guides us to be more securely attached and support ourselves when we feel anxious, avoidant, or disorganized.</p> <p> </p> <p>Because you make sense! And when we better understand the way we bond and connect to others, the more grace we will have for ourselves and the people around us. </p> <p> </p> <p>KEY POINTS:</p> <p>- What is attachment style?</p> <p>- Secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment  </p> <p>- “Every behavior comes back to a schema”</p> <p>- Why it’s so important to understand where our behaviors come from</p> <p> </p> <p>QUOTABLES:</p> <p><em>“Attachment is fluid, and it's changeable.

      <title>S1 EP4: How to Navigate Emotional Availability &amp; Unavailability in Relationships</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep4-how-to-navigate-emotional-availability-unavailability-in-relationships</link>
      <description>When it comes to one of the biggest missing pieces to true connection in relationships, emotional availability will always come up to the top of the list. Why do we attract emotionally unavailable men? How do we deal with emotional overwhelm? What do we do when our partners shut down emotionally? These are questions that many of us desperately seek answers to and don’t have the proper guidance, or perhaps courage, to find out. 
  
 In this episode, Ludmila helps you understand what emotional avoidance and availability looks and feels like in relationships, and what you can do to connect with your partner and yourself emotionally. Understand why we shut down sometimes, and why some of us find it so difficult to voice our needs and emotions, even to the people we love the most. 
  
 So join Ludmila as she gudies you through expressing your emotions in a healthy way, as well as navigate other people’s emotions in all your relationships, whether it be friends, family, colleagues, or spouse. 
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - The signs of emotionally available &amp; unavailable people 
 - Why we shut down &amp; avoid our emotions
 - How to deal with stress &amp; emotional overwhelm in relationships
 - Ways to emotionally connect with yourself 
 - Noticing your feelings through bodily sensations
 - Empowering yourself through difficult conversations 
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “When we don't notice the difference between somebody being emotionally unavailable and available, there is also a part of us that is disconnected from our own feelings and emotions.”
  
 “Very often I hear there are bad emotions and there are positive emotions. In the realm of emotions, and being human, they are not bad, negative, positive, or good feelings. It’s just all feelings. It’s just all your experience.”
  
 “When we talk about being deeply connected, it really requires us to drop from our heads to our hearts.”

      <title>S1 EP3: Relinquishing Control to Make Room for More Connection and Money with Tiffany High</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep3-relinquishing-control-to-make-room-for-more-connection-and-money-with-tiffany-high</link>
      <description>After Tiffany almost lost her company, she also felt like she was losing her life, purpose, and family. Reaching out to Ludmila for guidance, tune in as Tiffany shares her journey from that “embarrassing” first session to learning how intentionally making time for more connection, pleasure, and self-care can help you create more love and also more money.
  
 So lean in, high-achieving women, because this episode is for you! The women who love to be in control, are always in the driver's seat but often feel disconnected, anxious, and overwhelmed. It’s time to get deeply connected!
  
 KEY POINTS:
 Why business coaching can’t only be about strategy
 When did Tiffany decide to work with Ludmila?
 It’s okay to feel emotions!
 Learning to step back and be present 
 Anxiety, triggers, and re-connecting to your body 
 How connection translates into creativity and success
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “Anyone who owns a company goes through seasons where all we care about is how we get to the next stage or whatever it is that needs to move the needle forward for our team. And in the meantime, what ends up happening is we lose the guardrails that we try to keep in place to take time for our family and our self-care.”
 “I think the smack of reality is that you're doing it to yourself.” 
 “What is the point of making money if I'm not 100% fulfilled? And the crazy thing is, the more that I put time into these things over here that don't make money, the more money I actually make anyways.”

      <title>S1 EP2: Discover a New Way of Dating</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep1-discover-a-new-way-of-dating</link>
      <description>High-achieving women - you know what you want and how to get what you want. You can provide for yourselves and have life seemingly all figured out. So why are so many of us still unsuccessfully looking for love? 
  
 In this episode, Ludmila shows high-achieving women a better way of putting themselves out into the dating world. Because the way we show up in our professional careers is not how we find life in our personal life. 
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - Why is it difficult for high-achieving women to find love?
 - What are your intimacy fears?
 - We move too fast, too soon, too deep
 - Allow yourself to be courted!
 - Are you clear on what you want? Do not compromise!
 - Circular dating - how does it work?
 - When do you want to lean in versus lean back?
  
 QUOTABLES:
 “Whatever you believe, will create the results for you. So those beliefs are very important.”
 “If you can spend time on building your business, you for sure can spend time on dating and figuring out how you feel around men, how men make you feel, and how different types of men feel to you.”

      <title>S1 EP1: Loving Without Limits with Sierra Rainge</title>
      <link>https://sites.libsyn.com/459975/ep1-success-in-relationships-with-sierra-rainge</link>
      <description>Surviving is not enough. While surviving allows you to master the moment, THRIVING allows you to truly embrace and be present in it. So how can we overcome obstacles, face conflict, and still continue to work toward the highest version of ourselves? Especially when the path is not always clear.
  
 In this episode, your host welcomes publisher, ghostwriter, and brand manager Sierra Rainge to share her journey of letting go, having the courage to take the next step, and learning to love herself more. Because being healthy is not just about having good desires for yourself but having the actions, hard conversations, and belief system to maintain it. 
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - Who do you choose to be?
 - What’s the next best decision you can make for your highest self?
 - Learning to operate without chaos
 - Even when you’re not at your best, you deserve love
 - Why relationships are like a mirror 
 - Do you respond, or do you react? 
 - “Love sounds like no” - accountability, boundaries, and compassion
  
  QUOTABLES:
 “I have my days when I struggle to get out of bed, and I'm annoyed with my children, and I want to drop-kick my husband. But at the end of every day, I choose to lead with love. And I think that we all have the capacity to do that.”
 “It was realizing that my value does not have to be tied to my productivity. My value is not based on my gifts.”
 “To have a healthy relationship with anybody else, you have to first have a very healthy relationship with yourself. When you're healed, you attract abundance. Even when you're broken you may attract it, but you will sabotage it or not even see it.”

      <itunes:summary>Surviving is not enough. While surviving allows you to master the moment, THRIVING allows you to truly embrace and be present in it. So how can we overcome obstacles, face conflict, and still continue to work toward the highest version of ourselves? Especially when the path is not always clear.
  
 In this episode, your host welcomes publisher, ghostwriter, and brand manager Sierra Rainge to share her journey of letting go, having the courage to take the next step, and learning to love herself more. Because being healthy is not just about having good desires for yourself but having the actions, hard conversations, and belief system to maintain it. 
  
 KEY POINTS:
 - Who do you choose to be?
 - What’s the next best decision you can make for your highest self?
 - Learning to operate without chaos
 - Even when you’re not at your best, you deserve love
 - Why relationships are like a mirror 
 - Do you respond, or do you react? 
 - “Love sounds like no” - accountability, boundaries, and compassion
  
  QUOTABLES:
 “I have my days when I struggle to get out of bed, and I'm annoyed with my children, and I want to drop-kick my husband. But at the end of every day, I choose to lead with love. And I think that we all have the capacity to do that.”
 “It was realizing that my value does not have to be tied to my productivity. My value is not based on my gifts.”
 “To have a healthy relationship with anybody else, you have to first have a very healthy relationship with yourself. When you're healed, you attract abundance. Even when you're broken you may attract it, but you will sabotage it or not even see it.”
