WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Welcome Ladies, I’m Shauna Hoffman. Thank you or letting me pop into your life again today. I have to say I have been so grateful for the emails and messages I have gotten from so many of you about the podcasts. You know sometimes when you record alone in your office you feel like you are talking to a void. So it is so fun for me to hear from my listeners about how the podcasts are helping you. Or just making you think!

I thought I would take a happy jaunt through Guy Free World today and talk about the idea that when a relationship ends you can still have a relationship! Ok, maybe its not the same kind of relationship. But what if you could change the form of the relationship and still be in each other’s lives? Ha! Some of you are saying no way! I just want him out of my life. Fair enough! But there are many of you that miss the friendship or the love.

13 When it’s a Hard Day’s Night

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello, I’m Shauna Hoffman. And today I am going to talk about the fact that some days just suck. I mean totally suck. I am throwing out all of my great, self-help therapy terms today and just talking about reality. There are days that seem to be a perfect storm of everything that brings your heart and soul to a standstill. Whether you are single or in a relationship right now, it doesn’t matter. There are times that no one can lift you out of that dark space. And maybe for some it isn’t even that dark. Maybe it’s just that weird gray! Sometimes we know what is causing it and sometimes we have no clue. It is just there.

OK, a few facts we need to remember! We women do go through hormonal changes that attribute to this …sometimes. And so what! No! I am not taking away your gray, blue or black! I am just saying that sometimes we have no idea what is causing it and it could just could be hormones. After all, we are goddesses that rage… I mean have a range of emotions that are often triggered by our physical makeup of the day… or hour or minute! And so it is!

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello ladies. Welcome. I’m Shauna Hoffman. I cannot wait to share with you today’s story of reinvention. We’ve talked in some of the past podcasts about the idea that when we truly go off on our own journey of self-awareness, we find that the identity we have made for ourselves in our past is not who we want to be today. We realize that what we felt identified us was based on everyone else’s definition of who we are instead of our own.

It’s also true that as we grow, age and put our needs first, whether with a man or single as a parent with kids at home or an empty nester, we find that there are dreams we have for ourselves that we have chosen to put aside at some time in our life, or maybe there are dreams that we never even realized we had, until that moment that we chose to be Guy Free Working on Me.

I am so excited to share with you our guest today LaVelda Conrad and her amazing story of reinvention. She is a woman whose story epitomizes the struggles that we go through to find a way to honor ourselves, love ourselves, and take back our lives.

10 You Are Not Alone

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello everyone. This is Shauna Hoffman. Welcome. I thought and thought today about what this podcast should be about and it became very obvious to me as our country is going through so much stress about the Coronavirus. I wanted to make today’s session about handling stress during a crisis, especially if you’re alone. So whether you are listening to this podcast now or a year from now, my hope is to give you so many tools to navigate stress in your life. Many of you have a partner or a roommate or a family member with you, but there are many people right now who are alone or single caring for their children or elders. We know that in a crisis we turn to those around us and for so many it’s a partner, but this is Guy Free Working on Me. So if for this podcast, I am the one to be there for you, then I am honored.

09 What Makes a Good Relationship?

WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…

Hello Ladies!  I’m Shauna Hoffman.  I am so happy you have joined me for this podcast today. This tells me that you are on a journey of self-discovery.  And I am so happy to go along for the ride. Today we are jumping into a conversation about what makes a healthy relationship. I have this model of healthy loving relationships that I share with my clients… that I want to share with you.  The idea behind this is that if you have a healthy relationship with yourself, you will have an even healthier relationship with someone else. And here is the truth. If the other person does not have a healthy relationship with themselves you have no chance of together surviving in happiness.
