See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

Big life change like divorce can be a challenge - but it’s also an opportunity.
In this interview with Shannon McGorry, divorce and life coach, we explore all the ways divorce can be an invitation to recreate our lives and tear down the roadblocks and limiting beliefs about how our life should be once and for all.

We break down how to live life authentically, fully and as the best version ourselves. We dig into how to let go of the things that are holding us back and step into happiness, fulfillment and purpose.

We cover:

How to handle the many emotions and interacting with people who don’t understand what you're going through
Should you get a therapist OR a divorce coach or can they work together to help you?
Realizing we need different kinds of support and guidance in different seasons
How divorce or change is the invitation to finally get to know ourselves and what we really want from life now
Why putting ourselves first is really in service to all
Opening yourself up to limitless possibilities of who you are, what you can be and how you can live your life
How jealousy/envy can actually be an invitation to what your true desires are
Why growth is so uncomfortable but how it drives you forward
Why how we model managing challenges affects how our children will understand resilience and strength

30. Getting Love Right This Time Around with Relationship Coach Roy Biancalana

1 Recommendations

If you've been through divorce or a significant break up, you may have some work to do to get into Relationship Shape. Spending the time to understand yourself and the ways you show up in relationships can make ALL the difference between repeating old patterns and attracting a deep, intimate connection that brings incredible joy and fulfillment.

Roy's been there. Through his own relationship journey he learned how to look at himself, get honest and clear about the areas where he wanted to do better and developed a system to help others do the same.

In the interview we talk about:

Why it's not about "finding the right person" but rather looking within
How to know if you're emotionally available and how to know if someone ELSE is emotionally available
Why rebound relationships happen, what they mean and why they usually don't last
Why looking within is the key to healing from break ups and showing up authentically in future relationships
The way your past comes into play in relationships - how it can help and how it can cause problems
How to continue to grow and change while dating
How dating is like sports - it's all about letting go of the past and clearing your mind for success moving forward
Why pain isn't always bad and how to use it to grow and facilitate change
Why understanding what you are feeling is crucial to success in relationships and how to do it
How blame can keep you stuck and why forgiveness is the path to letting go
