“Is it wise to have friendship bud into romance?” This was the question I was recently asked by a journalist at COSMO MAGAZINE(UK). One has to question the nature of term the “friendship” in order to answer this question properly. Is this person a true friend with whom we share our time and confidence— then one day see them in a completely different light? This type of scenario is rare, given my research. Certainly, love has blossomed in the case of co-workers and associates from other [...]

In theory, a modern woman should be able to sleep with whom she likes, when she likes, without repercussion. Yet, what works in theory often fails in reality. As women continue to embrace (as they should) their sexuality in all forms of its expression, getting to partnership has never been more difficult. Today’s women stand at a monumental crossroad that divides their sexual empowerment from what should be a natural transition toward coupledom. Our current open sexuality has released all constraints formerly held by previous [...]

Is There a “Cure” for Jealousy?

Yes there is a cure for jealousy. We need to 'think it through.' .The issue of jealousy requires inner work, as it’s a mental construct in need of adjustment. Imposing outer changes in the hopes of affecting an inner reality shift is pointless. Outer changes are never a cure. They’re a form of temporary band-aid that may shield a bruised ego but won’t eradicate the root cause of the underlying pain. Here’s the breakdown of how jealousy occurs, how to overcome it, and the inevitable [...]

5 Tips to Tell if Your Guy’s Lying

All humans have innate intuition. Yet no one’s cornered the market on this gift better than women. We may not know why we don’t believe what our guy’s telling us, but something about what he’s saying or how he’s saying it just doesn’t add up. We feel it.

The Holidays can create difficult emotional states for many people. The hype and expectations surrounding this time period are intense. Commercials and movies emphasize happy, loving families enjoying their time together and couples in cozy, warm images of endless love. But what about those people whose lives don’t match these images? What about the widowed, single, and those separated from loved ones due to circumstance or distance? They are often made to feel badly about their state of “aloneness” at this time of year. There’s [...]
