It’s time to stop settling for less. — It’s hard to admit what you deserve in life and in love. It requires a strong sense of self-worth, high standards, and solid boundaries. Those might be difficult for you to define, if you’ve not really dug into your wants, needs, desires, and identity. What is it that you really…

Learn to look beyond the surface. — Here’s a weird question: Do you get uncomfortable looking yourself in the eyes? At first, this might seem like a silly thought, almost nonsensical, but if you ponder it for a bit… Many people feel uncomfortable looking at their own reflection for longer than a few seconds. Sure, you want…

Respect isn’t given — it’s earned. — You feel stuck, don’t you? You know that you’re capable of achieving — nay — being so much more than you already are, but you’re just not sure where (or how) to start. You have great ideas, but you can’t get people to listen. You have mountains of love to…

Only confident men are up to the task. — Many men say they want a strong and confident woman, until it’s time to actually date one. I chose to marry a woman with these qualities because it was evident from the start that, in addition to the passion and love, we had similar goals for our futures and would…

You’ll make more, live longer, and be happier. — Fewer people are getting married these days, and of them, more are getting divorced. At first glance, it seems as though the concept of marriage, or even lifelong monogamy, is one fading into a relic. A shadow of what it once was. Perhaps, even, an outdated or obsolete proposition.

The sooner you have the answers, the better. — You’ve met someone new, congratulations! It’s always an exciting time, one full of passion, adventures, fun dates, and visions of the future together. So exciting, that sometimes we can get caught up in the emotion of it all, and forget to ask ourselves the real important questions about this new…

Are you hearing what he’s NOT saying? — We don’t need to rehash the obvious frustrations of women that spring from trying to communicate with men. Men are notoriously mediocre (I’m being nice) communicators, though, of course, there are plenty who do understand its importance. Despite a lack of verbal communication skills, though, men are also widely known…

Confidence is attractive, arrogance is not. — Attraction, in itself, is subjective. Meaning: Everyone has their own idea of what is attractive. I do believe, though, that there are some consistent traits in men that women are seeking, particularly as they (seem to) become harder to find as time goes on. Let’s explore some of those traits…

It’s even more important than love itself. — Recently I decided to try putting honey on a banana. I eat bananas often before or after the gym. Equally as often, I also have honey on whole wheat toast. Naturally, then, I wondered how I’d enjoy them combined together. I was not a fan. They’re better enjoyed separately, in…
