Today we have author and small business owner, Christen Bensten on the show.
While many of us have not experienced the level of childhood trauma or debilitating anxiety that Christen has experienced, we all have had childhood experiences that mark us. As a result of this, this interview is one you don’t want to miss.
This past year, Christen published her memoir, Starving.
In it she shares her difficult, yet hopeful story of growing up in a constant state of fear, managing her anxiety and depression on her own, and what it took to find love and healing.
Listen in as we discuss her journey with the intent to bring you hope and model what is possible with resiliency. Thank you Christen for sharing your story.

How much drama do you bring into your conversations?
Oh warriors, I have brought a LOT of drama into my conversations over the years.
Whether it’s been in my delivery (jumping in too fast anyone?!) or beating around the bush or being defensive or being overly bossy (I know, hard to believe!)….
Help is here!
Michelle Icard is on the show today to help us have drama free conversations, whether it’s with our middle school aged child or our partner.
Listen in and then let us know what you learned or what helps you have less drama in your relationships.

Have you been told you’re too much?
You laugh too loud?
Talk too much?
Are too direct?
Or is it just me?
Lol because I know it’s not.
From very young ages, women are taught to play small, to be small, and to not rock the boat.
I was praised when I did what others wanted me to do over what I wanted to do.
I was threatened or punished if I spoke up for myself or my needs.
How does this show up in our lives as young women and beyond?
We learn to hide our true selves and abandon our desires and wants.
This leads us to feeling bitter and resentful.
Even more worrisome, we can feel like no one knows the real us.
No more.
Join me on the show this week as Kim Strobel and I discuss it all. Patriarchy, people pleasing, confidence, and our role as women crafting a new vision of what being a woman looks like, and even more importantly, feels like.
Sex is a wonderful part of our wellness and healthy relationships yet we rarely talk frankly about it.
Let’s change that today!!
In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, Dr. Sonia Wright, a sex coach for midlife women, is on the show!
We discuss some amazingly helpful topics to help you feel empowered and uplifted.

Have you gone to a book club or event with the intention to not drink and had alcohol pushed on you? When you say: “I’m not drinking tonight” people look at you like you must be ill or pregnant?
Alcohol is one of the most widely-used and normalized drug on the planet.
My own experience with sober living and wanting to learn more about aging healthy and what alcohol does to my brain and body led me to discover the awesome Lori Massicot.
Lori Mossicot is a life coach specializing in sobriety, mindset transformation and holistic wellness. She is an advocate for aging happy, healthy, confident and free.
I loved connecting with Lori and know you will too.
