How to Glow: The Jewish Woman's Marriage Boost

Dating. It’s all about “do we have the same values?” “Do we want the same things?” And some version of, “can I be happy with him?” Marriage. It’s a journey of learning, knowing, and seeing the other person fully, accepting them unconditionally. Could they be any more different?  To go from one to another is a process. In this week’s episode, I’m going to show you how you can help your brain if it’s stuck in Dating Mindset (even once you’re married!), evaluating and wishing your husband would be different than he is. In this episode you will learn: What is a Dating Mindset and a Marriage Mindset? How we use exploration and curiosity in both phases How to transition from a Dating to a Marriage Mindset Why it’s not a problem for it to take some time and what to do if it does Get on the wait list for the next Marriage Mastermind at www.firstyearmarried.com/coaching

Our brain is kind of like Google. We can ask it a question like, ‘does my boss like me?’ and it’ll spit back results - right? Wrong. No sirree. Big fat no. Our brain is NOT like Google. It gives us results to questions we didn’t even ask it. And those results can be terrifying sometimes (read: often). But once you understand how your brain’s search engine works, you can actually take control of it.

I have Elisheva Storch back again this week for part 2 about our conversation about hair covering and sheitals.

Here's the story of Charlene Aminoff, as referenced in the podcast You can find Elisheva on Instagram at @elisheva_wigs_atlanta  Get on the mailing list for all the FYM fun: www.firstyearmarried.com

This week I'm sharing with you my thoughts about our thoughts--and how busy and attached we can get with them.  (This is an advanced episode, so if you're new here I invite you to go back to some of the earlier episodes and revisit this one later.)

For a lot of my clients, preparing for Pesach meant getting ready to spend time in situations or with people where they just didn’t feel they could be themselves. They felt judged, self conscious, or just otherwise stifled. So I want to share with you a simple paradigm that will take you from insecure to confident. We’ll do this by examining what is really happening for us when we feel insecure, what artificial confidence is and why we do it, and how to create genuine, authentic confidence in any moment. (You’ll see you already do it a lot.) Make sure you’re on my wait list to take this work deeper with my next Mastermind group at www.firstyearmarried.com/coaching

This could be the most important episode you listen to. I’m sharing this week my journey, and that of my client, as we create more space for integration in a world that is so full of content. It wasn’t easy or comfortable. It was more profound and rewarding than either of us could have imagined. --- Book recommendation: Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport Homework: Create space for integration by choosing one task (ie laundry, dishes, driving to work) that you will do with no audio input. Allow your brain to come up with what you’ll be thinking about. Once you’ve listened, I’d love you to join the conversation. You can do that by emailing me at kayla @ firstyearmarried.com or going to https://anchor.fm/firstyearmarried to leave an audio note (click on where it says “message”--please keep audio notes under 1 minute so we can include them in a future episode!)

In this week's episode, I'm sharing a quick tip for building more positivity, commitment, and love in your relationship... and you can do the entire thing yourself.

Hey friends! This one was a re-record thanks to technical difficulties but I think take two turned out even better for you!  This week I'm talking about what you want. No, not the simple fluffy "I feel like a VANILLA latte" type of wanting, but what you REALLY want, what lights you up--and what to do if you don't even remember. But we're also going to take it another level deeper and learn a skill about using the language of "want" when you are working towards your goals--whether that's a career, family, educational, or spiritual goal. This one's gonna be a game changer for you. Want to take this work deeper? Make sure you're registered for the next Mastermind. Spots are limited. www.firstyearmarried.com/coaching

This week we're talking about what the "dream" is in your marriage -- and why you might already be living it without even realizing it. Also, I ramble a lot.  ...and use the phrase "pea in a cup" EXTENSIVELY -- but it's not like the kind at the doctor. Ennnnjoy!
