I'm honored to have had a beautiful conversation Kelley Bode that I'm bringing to you in today's new Courage to Create Podcast episode! Kelley and I talk about the power of unlocking your relationship with men and creating a fulfilling connection with the opposite sex. Kelley is a relationship coach and podcast host who helps millennial women create the love they want. In this episode, we discuss her turbulent journey to understanding healthy relationships.

This is an inspirational story I think you're going to love.

I'm honored to talk with Breakup Recovery Coach Tal Yardeni in this episode. After a series of heartbreaks, Tal used her own journey to empower other women - challenging them to prioritize self-love and self-worth, ultimately leading to a newfound freedom from the past. She went from being a singer and actress in New York for 13 years to developing her signature group coaching program, the Breakup Badass Formula, where she helps women heal from breakups, learn to love themselves, and let toxic relationships be a thing of their past. Tal shared, "Self-love is when you no longer abandon yourself, and it's about understanding that you matter and showing up in your life differently because you are now putting yourself as number one."

We also discussed the following:

• The decision to become a breakup coach during the pandemic
• How supportive professional guidance can be during a breakup
• How she reclaimed her self-worth.
• How to heal from a breakup, and understand how to choose yourself first.
