This week's special guest is another wonderful client of mine, [Jewel Hohman](https://msha.ke/lifecoachjewel/), the BrainBasedCoach. 

We dive deep into common misconceptions people have about creating more love in their relationships.

If you think that being hard on yourself is the only way to keep from getting complacent, or that withholding love from people is the best way to keep from getting hurt, you must listen to this episode.

From our conversation, you will learn:

- Why accepting yourself as you are is the first step to getting amazing things done.
- Why some goals drain you while others give you energy and fun.
- The most painful thought you're probably thinking about your partner and options that feel better and are likely more true.
