With February still in full effect, Michele + River continues the discussion around all the aspects of dating. In this episode, we are deep-diving dating from every possible angle. Looking through a new lens (River's favorite NEW word), around our mindset at the old ways. We hope you continue to enjoy this February series around dating.
When you are opening yourself up to love it's important to know where you stand with yourself. The intention behind dating; long-term partnership, building community, casual or hook-ups.

1. Learn to Love Yourself
2. Heal the Wounds
3. Allow Yourself to be vulnerable
4. Stop Comparing to Others
5. Explore Your Options
6. Be SELF-focused and take a break from dating if you need to
7. Make it Count. If it works, lean in, if it doesn't... it's cool. Move on.
8. Don't Take it all Too Seriously
Dating should be fun. Instead of going into every first (or second or third) date with the mindset that this MUST work out, approach each meetup as a chance to enjoy yourself and get to know someone else. Without the pressure of needing to fall for the person sitting across the table from you, you can be present and make a more clear-headed decision about how you feel. And if it doesn't end up being the best date ever? At least you'll have some GREAT stories for next week's brunch with the girls! HA HA!

Hope you enjoy this episode!
Xx,
Michele + River

River + Michele want to ask you, when did you last get wild?

River just got back from her Nature Quest... we deep dive into her experience.

When faced with no distractions (no people, no phone, no books), no routines or decisions (no dressing, no cooking), no tasks, not even time-tracking (just the sun), something magical happened.⠀⠀

I started paying attention. Once I accepted and overcame the boredom that naturally arose, a new world opened up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I started seeing connections in nature, my senses became more sensitive, and I started seeing bigger systems of how things are connected. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I started seeing all the small details of things I had no idea was there and realized not only how magical everything is, from a “simple” blueberry to myself, but I started seeing, and more importantly, feeling, how it’s all part of one system, how WE are all part of one system. Nature is healing after all.

A can be a life-changing experience. It surely was for me, and if you’re here in the US and want to know more, reach out to River at iamriverwinn.com

We hope you love this episode as much as we did!

River + Michele discuss intuition. How to trust your gut, listen to your head or heart and lean in to your knowing.

To develop intuition, there are several methods and practices that can be helpful. Some of these include:

1. Meditation and Mindfulness: Engaging in practices that promote self-reflection and awareness can help individuals connect with their intuition.
2. Trust Your Instincts: Pay attention to your "gut feelings" and learn to trust them. This involves being open to the messages that your intuition is sending.
3. Ask Your Intuition a Question: Directly engage with your intuition by posing a question and sitting with it to see what answers or feelings arise.
4. Get Out of Your Own Head: Sometimes, overthinking can cloud intuition. By being more aware and scanning your body, you can tap into more intuitive thinking.
5. Yoga and Left-Oriented Systems: Certain systems of yoga and left-oriented practices are said to enhance intuitiveness, although it's advised not to consciously force it, as intuition is not based on guesswork.

We hope you enjoy this episode, as we had fun deep diving this topic. Have a great day! Thanks for listening and please share and subscribe.

River + Michele talk this week about a bunch of stuff, but IFS and talk therapy are central points. Michele had a BIG AHA moment as well.
Talk therapy becomes just an excuse to vent, and sessions are mostly used as an opportunity to air grievances, maladaptive rationalizations and unhealthy narratives may become even more entrenched. Even after a major life event, inviting people to talk about their feelings isn't always helpful. Finding other modalities may be the place to start. Somatic Healing, EMDR, IFS and more.
We aren't licensed therapists, so please talk to a professional or do your own research. We share what works for us and why we like it.
