How many of us have felt pressured at one time or another, to make sure our relationship was moving along at the so called "right time".

Many of us have had the thoughts, is this moving too quickly, are we falling behind, shouldn't we already be "there" (wherever there is) by now?!

As much as we know there is no one size fits all, and no one set timeline that can measure our relationships by, we can still so often fall into that trap of looking around us, seeing what everyone else is up to, and basing the success of our relationship how it looks compared to others, or what society in the western world has deemed a "successful" relationship .

In this episode I discuss all things relationship times, how to know when to take the next step, and make sure that you are both moving at a pace that is suited to YOUR relationship.

Up until the summer of 2022, Sarah Valentine was living in New Zealand with her husband and trying to work on her marriage.

When Sarah's marriage ended and her world was turned upside down, she made the decision to share her story on social media, with the intent of helping other women who found themselves in a similar situation.

Sarah's vulnerability and transparency has reached hundreds  of thousands of women across the world, and helped them to feel less alone during one of the biggest transitions you can go through.

In this episode I discuss with Sarah why she thinks women often take so much of the responsibility when their relationship or marriage breaks down. We also chat about finding closure and acceptance when a marriage comes to an end and finally, how to live authentically and trust your decisions when it comes to love and relationships, even when others may not agree with your choices.

"The spark", "instant chemistry", "butterflies", these are the markers that so many of us still mistakenly use in dating, when deciding how much we invest in someone.

In this episode, I discuss what those feelings can actually mean (spoiler, they aren't always to do with attraction!), I share my personal experiences with these feelings, and how they led me in to anxious relationships over healthy, happy and fulfilling ones.

I also share how to listen to your gut, and the difference between feeling numb and genuinely feeling no connection to someone new.
