He's Cheating - To Tell Or Not To Tell
Bliss Beyond F.E.A.R.
08/27/20 • 45 min
If you saw your friend’s significant other cheating on her, would you tell her about it? This is a delicate situation with possibly substantial impacts. We received a direct message from a listener asking us to process this, so we do just that on this episode! Find out some things to consider as you debate what to do in sticky situations like this.
Episode highlights:
- Evaluate the full extent of the situation (e.g., impacted parties, environment, safety, stability, etc.)
- Be prepared for reactions to be different than you may expect should you decide to speak up
- If you have the conviction to share, come from a place of love, non-judgment, and support
- In giving this kind of news, start with sharing your personal worries and be compassionate
- Another consideration is writing a letter if that method of communication is more comfortable
- If your friend is coming to you with a gut feeling, you can ask thoughtful open-ended questions
- Asking questions is a subtle way to provide guidance. It’s an alternate way to bring clarity.
- There is a price to pay whether or not you decide to tell your friend what you know
- Ask yourself what you want the end result to be and follow your heart/intuition

Don't Should On Yourself
Bliss Beyond F.E.A.R.
08/13/20 • 30 min

She fears failure, judgement, financial loss, and lack of balance. Can you relate? Doing something new can be scary, but it can also be phenomenal. Let’s dive into how to shift yourself into a space of possibility and action so opportunities don’t turn into shoulda, coulda, wouldas. Don’t should on yourself!

Bliss Beyond F.E.A.R.
08/06/20 • 36 min
In our recent interview with her, Dr. Michelle Mugge reminded us about the importance of self-care, getting in tune with our emotions, and having vulnerable conversations. When patterns like suppressing feelings and emotions occur from traumatic experiences, depression and anxiety can emerge. Developing healthy wellness habits will set us up for a more peaceful and fulfilled life. Here are our key takeaways from the interview.
Takeaways:
- Follow your heart’s calling, not the vision that others have for your life, it’s YOUR life
- Self-care isn’t only grand acts; it’s also things like setting boundaries and honest communication
- Everybody has struggles and it’s normal. It’s important to process those struggles.
- Therapy can be one way to process difficult trauma that needs healing
- Don’t avoid conversations that you know you need to have
- Nurturing relationships requires two-way authentic communication
- Where you lack data, you make up a story; data provides deeper clarity and understanding
- Creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, fosters more open communication
- Successful relationships require evolving both individually and as a couple / unit

Bliss Beyond F.E.A.R.
09/17/20 • 45 min
How do you revitalize intimacy in your relationship? Is this something you or someone you know have ever asked? Our caller Diana and her husband have raised a daughter who has required a substantial amount of their time and energy due to her battle with anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder. Over time, they’ve become more like roommates and co-parents than a married couple. We called on our friend and dual licensed clinical psychologist and professional counselor, Dr. Michelle Mugge to help our caller with rekindling a deeper emotional connection and intimacy in her marriage.
Episode highlights:
- Reconnecting intimately begins with the emotional connection before the physical connection
- Communication is the place to start in rekindling connection – set aside intentional time
- A weekly agreed upon time for uninterrupted communication for at least 30 minutes is ideal
- A weekly check-in could be as simple as discussing these questions:
- What went well this week?
- What did not go well this week?
- What do you need from me?
- What are you grateful for?
- Plan time away just for the two of you. Put effort into making dates special. Get glammed up!
- Ways to enhance a date: play sentimental music, look at old pictures, hold hands, play a game
- Communication does not always have to be heavy; it can be playful and fun
- Make each other as a couple a priority. Schedule the time. Communicate it to others if needed.
- Consistency is the key to setting the precedence and sustainability that you desire
