This episode is a part of Veronica Grant’s Worthy in Love Podcast Tour. Every day for two weeks, the tour featured an episode from a variety of podcasts on how to actually feel worthy in love. Veronica has specially curated this list of podcasts to ensure that you get the most actional, BS-free support to help you feel more worthy in love. Fear and love might feel like opposites but they actually are more connected when you think. The truth is, when you allow someone to love you, you are also allowing them to hurt you because at some point. LOVE feels scary and causes people to be fearful of losing it. All of these fears on top of the trials and tribulations that go along with dating in LA make it scarier than getting a bad perm, and ultimately can cause you to feel unworthy of it depending on how badly you were hurt. This is why we dove deep into the worthiness wound, how entertainment and content affect our self of self worth, ways to feel more confident on a date, why people need to pony up with a reason when rejecting someone rather than ghosting, and how taking a time out from dating can get you closer to your goal.

How to Style Your Profile, with Alyssa Dineen

Traumas come in all shapes and sizes, from break ups, to accidents and grieving the loss of a loved one, to toxic relationships. We've experience them all and are thankful Jessica Zimmerman, author of Sleeping with a Stranger and founder of Zimmerman Events and Education, joins us to discuss defying social and cultural norms, how to redefine relationships and why healing childhood and adult trauma can help you reclaim your true self, in and out of relationships.

Sleeping with a Stranger, with Jessica Zimmerman

Feeling loved looks different for everyone but the common thread is that often it comes from another individual. With all this trendy self love talk, we tell ourselves we don’t need to seek love from others to feel loved and while that is true, it is healthy to seek love from others, as long as it is not all you depend on to feel love in general. So how can we tell if the love we look for is toxic or not? We have love and life coach and host of Love Life connection podcast, Veronica Grant, in to discuss emotional availability and why women should stop pointing the finger at men, how our patterns and lack of self-love affect relationships, and why we do what we do in our love life.

How to Heal Yourself and Find Love, with Veronica Grant

Failed relationships. We all have them but why? During a breakup or separation we spend soooo much time trying to figure out who is at fault when we need to focus on the real issues that cause the same patterns of failed relationships in the first place, so we can fix it in time for “the one.” Most people think problems with communication is the reason most relationships bite the dust but you’d be surprised to hear what our guest relationship maven, author, psychologist, and TEDx speaker, Dr. Abby Medcalf, has to say about what she thinks are the REAL reason relationships fail is! And trust us, you have never heard this one before but it makes SO. Much. Sense.

The Real Reason Relationships Fail, with Dr. Abby Medcalf

Ghosting, we have all been ghosted and we have all been the ghoster! When someone just disappears it can cause a ton of insecure thoughts and make it scary to jump back into the dating pool and when you are doing the ghosting it ends up making you feel guilty and like you’re going to have bad karma. If all this strife comes from merely NOT texting or calling someone back then why do we all keep doing it? Lucky for us we have licensed marriage and family therapist and dating coach at eHarmony, Melanie Hersch in to discuss, ghosting: why it happens and why it’s good, how can we fail proof our communication in dating, why our limiting beliefs impact our dating success and what we can do to build dating resilience.

When It’s Good To Ghost, with Melanie Hersch

Have you seen red flags but painted them white? Spotting an issue in someone else is hard because you don’t want to write them off after one incident, but you also don't want to stick around too long and get caught in a toxic relationship. The longer you hold on, the harder it is to let go because feelings grow deeper, you become more attached and you are more apt to make excuses, otherwise known as painting red flags white! We are happy to have journalist and host of “Should We Talk About It,” Gabriela Ulloa in to discuss how to love and forgive yourself by strengthening your mental health, how to avoid burnout and take care of yourself in your career when you are just starting out, and how to create healthy relationships and spot red flags in toxic ones.

Should We Talk About It?, with Gabriela Ulloa

Tell me what you want, what you really, really want! We all know we need to ask for what we want but when it comes to actually doing it we clam up. Are people going to think we are rude? Are we going to make someone feel bad? And when someone tells you what they want, do we actually want to hear it? I mean, when Tom told you he didn’t want to continue dating did you blame him and make up a bunch of reasons in your head about why he was being an ass or did you just respect that he told you what he really, really wanted? All this honesty talk is hard and we need some direction so we brought self-advocacy expert, on-air legal analyst, and award-winning trial attorney Heather Hansen in to discuss her book Advocate to Win: 10 Tools to Ask for What You Want and Get It, and how you can use the tools of a trial attorney to ask for what you want — and get it.

How to Get What You Want, with Heather Hansen

Boundaries! You don’t realize how difficult they are to make until you have lost track of what they are. We have all been in relationships where our boundary lines disappeared because we wanted to be the “cool girl.” If you’ve let your significant-o text their ex and acted unaffected, pretended you didn’t want a commitment more than you really did or played it off like you were fine with the fact that the person you are casually dating is still casually dating other people then you are guilty of blurred boundaries. We've all been there but thankfully after you listen to this show you’ll be able to draw a clear line in the sand and say goodbye to the old “cool girl” who is crying inside because we have our guest, Terri Cole, licensed psychotherapist, global leading relationship expert and author, in to discuss how to speak your truth with ease, her tried and true strategy to uncover when the past is negatively impacting the present, how to navigate conflict with the Recognize-Release-Respond strategy and how to create a boundary blueprint so you can become a Boundary Boss!

Do Better, with Dr. Stephanie Estima

Breakups are the worst, are they not? What other time in your life are you expected to completely stop contact with the person that you have the deepest connection with? There is so much conflicting advice on how to handle break ups, it’s hard to know which the best actions are to take in order to help yourself move on and get back to finding love.

Dating Sucks, You Don't, with Connell Barrett

Dating is sooo different now, are we right? Coming off the heels of the #metoo era and currently slapped in the middle of a global pandemic (that makes seeing and coming in contact with people impossible), meeting “the one” has legit NEVER been more complicated than it is now. We have author and former guest Jon Birger back again to discuss his latest book Make Your Move, why hetero women who make the first move with men have an advantage (especially in the #metoo era), why online dating has proved so disappointing and sometimes dangerous for many women, especially during COVID times and how to make your move offline!

Intimacy Trends in 2021, with Susan Bratton

Relationships in the workplace is a widely debated topic. Is it appropriate? Have you ever done it? Is it grounds for firing employees? It’s scary to fall for someone in your professional life and it’s even more scary to think that you could be judged differently for entering into a work romance based on your gender. That’s why we’re excited to have former police officer and author of The Moral Police, Janelle Perez, in to discuss exploring a personal relationship in a professional environment, what you should be aware of before you venture down a path of romance with a coworker and how your gender can affect the way your employer and co-workers view your choice.
