Bring a Brand New You to Your Relationship in the New Year w/ Tavia Sharp (Ep.29)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 04 Dec 2024 06:00:00 GMT

Sometimes we overcomplicate what it takes to take ourselves and our relationship to the next level. We might think it’s hopeless, that it’s impossible, and that it’s too much work and either not worth it or that we can’t do it. We might think we have to do all the work because our partner doesn’t want to even talk about our relationship. We might feel stuck and alone.

But all that is not necessarily true! At some level you are choosing to experience your life and your relationship that way. And so you cocreate that experience with your partner… Don’t shoot the messenger.

All the psychobabble aside, suffice it to say that you can bypass all this heartache and headache and take a shortcut… That’s right, a shortcut. Why not? Who said we can’t make things easier for ourselves?

This shortcut has to do with changing your personal brand, including your image, to show up to your relationship and your life differently… Letting your brand lead the way, you’ll automatically shift your state, your mood, your energy and become more magnetic inspiring something different in your interactions…

In this episode, I have motivating and fun conversation with Personal Branding Expert, Tavia Sharp, on what is our personal brand, the impact in has on our relationship and our life, identifying when we need a brand refresh, what a brand refresh can do for us, how the refresh can rekindle romantical sparks in our relationship and change our dynamics, how to address fear or resistance to upgrades and changes, and how to use the holidays to start our refresh to set ourselves up to start the new year with a brand you us…

We also explore Tavia’s process for rebranding ourselves!

Creating More Harmony and Passion in Your Relationship w/ Valerie Greene (Ep.28)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 06:00:00 GMT

Even though we love our partner so much, we might still find that we fight or feel disconnected often… We might attribute this to flukes, poor communication skills, our partner’s attributes and imperfections, our sensitivities or triggers, or not being compatible and wondering about our commitment to the relationship… And there might be some truth to some or all of these… But there is also something else going on as well. Something that most partners don’t usually pay attention to. And that is how they are using their Core Masculine or Feminine Energies…

Gender aside, partners have both energies as human beings. And they inherently lean towards one more than the other at their core. Things got messed up for us with the women’s movement in that women had to take on more of their masculine traits and characteristics to survive and compete in a man’s world. Shunning and repressing their more feminine traits.

Our world hasn’t been valuing feminine characteristics like emotionality, expressiveness, sensitivity, compassion, empathy, nurturing, caring, intuition, creativity, flow, gentleness, helpfulness, collaboration, and such… When people show up with these traits, they are considered weak… So, women and other female identifying persons have adapted to using their masculine traits more: logical, reserved, disciplined, ambitious, planner, leader, assertive, aggressive, courageous, and such…

Why do we care about this? Because when both partners show up to an interaction, or to their relationship in general, with masculine energy, that’s what creates friction. That’s when they butt heads, disagree and fight. And that’s when the Core Masculine person in the relationship gets displaced, where they then become disengaged or distant. Creating the feeling of disconnection in the relationship…

To make matters worse, there is no attraction between two of the same core energies… Opposites are needed to create passion and be swept off our feet if our core is feminine and that’s what we desire.

In this episode, I have a wonderfully enlightening conversation with Women and Relationship Coach, Valerie Greene on how to use our Core Energies to create more harmony and passion in our relationship. We explore the differences between masculine and feminine energies, how to identify what energy we are operating from and how to distinguish when each is called for, what type of relationship gets created according to what energy we choose to show up with, that we can choose what kind of relationship we want to create, how to bring our feminine energy back online, and how we can turn our relationship around.

Additionally, we cover how to feel and expand our gratitude feels this holiday season.

Hope you enjoy it!

Legal Matters of the Heart, from Prenups to Divorce, and Beyond w/ Leona Krasner (Ep.27)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 06:00:00 GMT

We are totally in love and decide to go exclusive, move in together, get engaged, get married, have children… But wait, we have to consider what’s the best way to go about the practical side of these steps…

When we fall in love and are feeling all mushy, we don’t usually consider the practical strategies that might be helpful to have in place to create a smooth and harmonious life… We don’t consider what might be needed to be protected against unfortunate events and to create safety in the relationship.

Prenups, postnups and the like might get a bad rap for representing cautiousness about the partner and what their future might hold.

But there is so much more that goes along with creating legal documents and having financial strategies in our relationship. The documents and strategies don’t exist in a vacuum. They are part of a more meaningful conversation and a larger plan that protects the partners and their future.

What I love about this topic is that having these adulting pieces in place creates emotional security as well. The relationship dynamics are no longer informed by possible powerplays, doubt, fear, distrust, lack and so on. Everyone knows where they stand and the status of things, and are off on equitable and transparent footing. Which actually is a healthy way to start a joint life…

In this episode, I have a phenomenal conversation with Leona Krasner, a Family Attorney, about all the different legal needs throughout the lifespan of a relationship. We cover dating to post divorce if that’s the couple’s fate, and special circumstances that might arise. We have a lighthearted and very warm and mushy conversation considering the topic.

Super thoughtful and resourceful.

Hope you enjoy it!

Naturopathic and Spiritual Approach to Mental Health and Overall Wellbeing w/ Dr. Serena Goldstein (Ep.26)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 05:00:00 GMT

There are times in life when we feel amazing and there are times when we don’t feel so hot… This is especially true when we struggle with our mental health and have possibly even been diagnosed with a mental health disorder…

Our relationship and our life can be a real struggle if we struggle with our own wellbeing… For it is difficult to show up with our best self if we are not feeling our best. Anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders and things like OCD, ADHD, BPD, PSTD, and other diagnoses can really make it challenging to manage ourselves and our lives and how we show up to interactions with our loved ones and others...

But we don’t have to struggle, there are so many approaches and modalities we can utilize to have our own back in feeling optimally and creating our best self, best relationship, and best life! We don’t have to suffer. We don’t have to be on medications that might make things worse. We don’t have to feel limited and miss out on joy and happiness, deeply and meaningfully connecting with our partner, doing the most gorgeous parenting, having a successful career or business, and everything else our heart desires…

In this episode, I have a super resourceful and inspiring conversation with Dr. Serena Goldstein, a Naturopathic Doctor, who is with us for a second time, and this time addressing mental health and overall wellbeing. We discuss a more natural, holistic and even spiritual approach to healing, wellness and feeling on top of the world. Addressing conditions is not just about taking medicines, but about how we do our life experience…

We discuss a range of modalities and approaches to support your wellbeing.

Hope you enjoy it!

Relationship Experiential Awareness for Repairing, Connecting and Relating Beyond Words w/ Carmela Bennett (Ep.25)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Even though words are important sometimes they are overrated… Hence, we say things like, A picture is worth a thousand words… And in this case, there is so much more communication going on between partners than what words can say…

We know we communicate in a lot of different ways, including non-verbal communication and body language… But what if I told you that those are also very basic. We connect at other levels that we usually don’t take into consideration… Like through being interconnected and using our intuition and knowing…

And, like using our felt body, our sensing abilities, to feel into our selves, our partner and our relationship… There is a ton of information here that we usually use automatically. But what if we were to tap into this intentionally and leverage it for a more authentic, deeper, and meaningful connection?

In this episode, I have a lovely and inspiring conversation with Carmela Bennett, a somatic psychotherapist, who shares about what somatic and experiential relating is and the benefits of relating from a sensing place, how to use it to manage and repair conflict, how it’s healing and repatterning, how it enhances interactions with deeper emotional and physical intimacy, and how to use it for enriching and upleveling our relationship.

We discuss over a dozen practices partners can use immediately to elevate their relating…

Hope you enjoy it!

Demystifying Women's Hormonal Journey Throughout their Life Cycle w/ Dr. Serena Goldstein (Ep.21)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Hormones are a big deal! They seem to rule our life if we are a woman because so much depends on them for our cycle and reproductive life if we want children.

But aside from that aspect, they still affect so much of our health, wellbeing and how we experience our world, including the relationship with our partner… Men are affected in their own right obviously, and also when supporting their female partner.

Without going into a whole scientific or medical explanation, suffice to say that hormones regulate and control many of our body functions and development. They affect our rhythms from sleep, sex drive, hunger, motivation, body temperature, menstrual cycle, growth, metabolism, stress response and so much more.

In today’s episode I’m excited to have a conversation with Dr. Serena Goldstein to address how to support ourselves on our Hormonal Journey throughout our lifespan. We have a rich conversation covering: Identifying symptoms that might indicate a hormonal imbalance that just add unnecessary challenges to our life, what testing one might need to help identify these for proper treatment, how to use life rhythms and lifestyle to address imbalances and promote health, and what might be needed to smoothly sail through different life stages while taking personality, relationship dynamics and energetics into consideration… Enjoy!

Connecting Health Issues to Psychological and Relational Patterns w/ Angela Mazza (Ep.20)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Our patterns impact everything in our lives- from our abundance and success, to our relationship and love life, to our health and wellness…

It might be obvious that when we have poor habits that our health suffers. But what might not be so obvious is that our emotional and relational habitual patterns also affect our health and wellbeing, and other areas of our life…

Our programming and conditioning drive our patterns, inform our internal and external habits of behavior, feelings and thought… When we repeatedly do the same old, we make a grove, an impact. Depending on the nature of what we repeat, we have positive or negative outcomes…

We know that:

~ Limiting believes keep us from our potential

~ Unmet needs create uncomfortable feelings

~ Poor behavioral habits lead to breakdowns in their respective context

In today’s episode I’m excited to have a conversation with Angela Mazza, a holistic health coach, who brings awareness to how different habitual patterns, not just behavioral but also emotional and relational, can have an impact on our health and wellbeing. We discussed how not having a voice, being a people pleaser, prioritizing others first, having low self-esteem or a sense of unworthiness, being a workaholic, a perfectionist, a type-A personality, and so forth can all take a toll… I very much enjoyed this conversation as it connects so nicely with the depatterning work we’ve been doing. Hope you enjoy it too!

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 05:00:00 GMT

I believe it is fair to say that we all want to be healthy and happy… And I believe it is also fair to say that we all go about being healthy and happy in our own way. Which is totally valid. Then, isn’t it curious how the health and wellness industries are in such demand? Though we are all different and we all go about our own pursuits in our own way, at the end of the day we still want information, guidance and support in this area that might not be our area of expertise.

Creating health and vitality so we can live long and gorgeous lives, requires we are intentional and invested in implemented healthy habits, routines, and approaches. It is important to have a holistic approach to our health and wellness to ensure we actually are healthy… Focusing on all the pillars involved in our health helps us in this quest:

~ Sleep, exercise, nutrition and supplementation, hydration, stress relief and mindfulness

But there are other factors to consider for our overall wellness, attention to not just our bodies, but mind and spirit as well… And all the other factors outside ourselves that impact us… All worthy of exploration as we pursue becoming our best self, creating our radiant relationship and living our best life.

In today’s episode I’m excited to have a conversation with Marvin Bee, a fellow podcaster about how to go about our own personal health journey. He focuses on removing unhealthy habits and all things not good for us in his approach to health and happiness…

Parenting Neurodivergent Kids: Transitions, Discipline, and Connection w/ Polina Shkadron (Pt2) (Ep.18)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 22 May 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Nobody ever said that being a parent is easy, especially the parent of a neurodivergent child… These children have challenges with emotional regulation, executive function skills, sensory processing, communication, social interactions, impulse control, and balance and coordination to name a few.

This is a lot to contend with as a little one and as the parent of the little one because these make managing every day routines, interactions, and achieving milestones and other accomplishments more challenging.

Parenting in general and parenting a neurodivergent child specially, take a lot of love and dedication to doing right for the specific child.

In today’s episode I’m excited to share the remainder of the conversation with Polina Shkadron, a Play Therapist, about parenting neurodivergent children. In today’s part we cover how using specific language gets better outcomes with your child, how to set good boundaries without overusing the “no”, what to do with attention seeking behavior, how to coparent, and how to smoothly do transitions… It’s packed with information on how to succeed at your parenting and create a harmonious and joyful home.

Parenting Neurodivergent Kids: Tantrums, Parenting Styles, and Self-regulation w/ Polina Shkadron (Pt1) (Ep.17)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 08 May 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Is there chaos in your home because of tantrums, meltdowns, acting out, or disobedience from your child? Is your child neurodivergent? Have they been diagnosed with ADHD, autism, or other diagnoses on the spectrum?

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding roles in this human experience, and one of the most challenging ones. It is a huge responsibility to create and raise another human being… The role brings with it inherent challenges and demands, and it does even more so when we have children with special needs of some sort.

But because the role is demanding and because our child might have demanding needs, it doesn’t mean we have to struggle with it and that our family life has to suffer as a result. We can learn parenting and relationship skills, and we can totally learn how to parent children with special needs in a way that supports them and the whole family.

In today’s episode I’m excited to have a super-rich conversation with Polina Shkadron, a Play Therapist, about parenting neurodivergent children. Our conversation was so good, it became a 2-part episode. In today’s part, we cover the importance of play for the child’s growth, development and wellbeing and utilizing play dynamics in the parent-child relationship. We also cover why children have tantrums and how to manage them, and the importance of self-regulation.

Libido Differences, Rekindling Desire, and Sexual Satisfaction w/ Deborah Fox (Ep.16)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Do you find that one of you wants more sexual intimacy in your relationship?

Differences in libido and desire levels are common in a relationship because of how penis and vagina owners are wired differently and because of the differences in how their sexual organs work. This is especially true for heterosexual couples, but still true for all couples in that individuals bring their uniqueness to their interactions and sex life…

Partners come to their intimacy with a rich background of mental, physical, emotional, and energetic conditioning that influence their experience and desires… And that inform what style of sexual beings they are…

In today’s episode I’m excited to have a very informative and reassuring conversation with Deborah Fox, Sex Therapist, about how conditioning and other factors affect libido and desire, how partners are usually also opposite in sexuality styles and what to do about it, reasons for difficulties with female orgasms and male erectile dysfunction and how to address them, the truth about sexual satisfaction when couples have been together a long time and in older couples, and how to maintain a healthy sexual relationship to ensure a mutually satisfying sex life… This is an episode not to be missed!

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Have you ever experiences stretches where you feel like nothing you do is working? That you just can’t seem to get ahead?

You might feel stuck in your relationship, can’t seem to lose the weight, your income or revenue is not increasing, your kids are getting on your nerves, and so on?

Exploring Rituals to Enrich Relationships and Create Change w/ Dr. Evan Imber-Black (Ep.14)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Rituals are a significant facet of our human experience. They enrich and give meaning to our life, and they make everything more fun- if done right!

If we didn’t have rituals, our days would just meld into each other as would our weeks, months and years… Our life would not have distinctive segments to focus on for personal care, productivity, creativity, connection, fun and enjoyment… It would be a string of passing time without it being acknowledged and properly experienced…

Rituals help us delineate time as in our daily routine, life transitions and celebrations. They facilitate the rites of passage and mark milestones. They give meaning to our experience. But they are even more impactful than this – they connect us, they give us identify, they give our relationships cohesiveness, they transmit legacy, they deepen our experiences. And most importantly they can serve as a mechanism for creating change…

In today’s episode I’m honored to share time with the wonderful Dr. Evan Imber-Black a prominent contributor to the Marriage and Family Therapy profession. We have a lovely conversation about the significance of rituals, their purpose, what makes a great ritual, and how they are impactful in our relationships and in special circumstances like step-families and multicultural families.

Refresh Your Relationship with Your Adult You w/ Cinthia Hiett (Ep.13)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Doing the same old will continue to generate the same old. As Spring is just around the corner, it is that time of year to do our refresh for newness… When we refresh our environments, situations, and even our approach to our relationship and our life, we create the relationship and life we desire…

We are already familiar with spring cleaning, cleanses and detoxes, and possibly even clearing our spaces, our body, and our energy. But we might not be so familiar with the idea that we can apply these concepts to our relationship…

That’s right, we can spring clean our connection habits and lifestyle, clean up toxic interactions, detox from blaming, controlling, interrupting, yelling, and so many other negative relationship habits, clear up grudges, misunderstandings, resentment and so much more…

In today’s episode, I have a wonderful conversation with Cinthia Hiett, also a relationship expert, who so delightfully shares how to address really being who we are, how properly adulting ensures more harmony in our relationship, how to deal with codependency, boundary issues, spouse immaturity and conflict in our relationship. And how self-reparenting is a breath of fresh air for the relationship, and the world at large…

Explore Interconnectedness for More Harmony and Joy w/ Dr Jeffrey Dunne (Ep.12)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 06:00:00 GMT

As we awaken to the reality that everything is interconnected and that we are all interconnected, we can relax in knowing that everything can be easier including our relationship…

Why? Because then it’s much easier to feel our connection, to relate to each other in more positive ways, to collaborate, to have compassion and SO much more…

When we embrace the idea of interconnectedness, and see how everything relates to everything else, how everything is in relationship with everything else, then we can realize that we are part of something bigger. We are all part of the same thing, Life. We are all part of the same Consciousness. We are One.

Through this interconnectedness:

When we are generous or greedy with one, we are so in all.

When we are kind or mean with one, we are so in all.

When we love or hate one, we do so in all…

And so on…

This has massive implications for self-love, partner-love, and other-love…

In today’s episode, I have an enlightening and informative conversation about the concept of interconnectedness, unity consciousness, and implications for a more harmonious and loving relationship and a more sustainable future…

Cultivate a Healthy Relationship with Food for Overall Wellbeing w/ Brigitte Zeitlin (Ep.10)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 11:00:00 GMT

We are all aware the importance of food to our health and wellbeing… But I find it fascinating how there is so much intricacy to eating well and getting the proper nutrition for our body. And, how food impacts so many aspects of our life ranging from our energy level, vitality, immunity, recovery, sleep, female cycle, beauty, even our brain function, mood, and resilience and so much more… Wow!

How we engage with our environment, our habits and routines, and the relationship we have with others AND ourselves also impact our internal laboratory and how we make use of our food…

Using food well for our overall health and wellness, vitality, longevity, happiness, and enjoyment of life is a key aspect of creating our best life. Putting anything in our mouths to satiate hunger and get a boost of energy just doesn’t cut it.

How we go about our food and eating in and of itself is impactful as well. It’s super important to have a great relationship with food for us to get the most from our diet…

In today’s episode, I have a very informative conversation with Brigitte Zeitlin about eating healthy, wellness habits, the self-care practice, and having a great relationship with food.

Thriving Through Transitions, Creating New Beginnings w/ Deborah Donenfeld (Ep.9)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 11:00:00 GMT

Yes, is that time of year when we are looking for our New Beginning, to start fresh. We transition into a new chunk of time with the expectation that things will be different. That we’ll make all the changes we want to realize everything we desire…

The thing is that change and transitions can be challenging… If it was so easy to create change most people wouldn’t struggle in life and they’d go through transitions with flying colors.

We all know that is hardly ever the case. If anything, transitions are times when life gets even more challenging, when we get triggered, and when we don’t feel so good.

And, even when we go through transitions we desire like getting married, having a baby, moving to a new home, starting a new job, or a New Year – we can still have a bumpy road…

In today’s episode, I have a lovely conversation with Deborah Donenfeld about creating change and how to have our back when going through transitions...

Uplevel EVERYTHING by Embracing a Self-Love Practice... – Emma Solo (Ep.8)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 11:00:00 GMT

The concept of self-care might feel super played out, but now more than ever how we view and treat ourselves has a profound effect on our life and the life of others…

Self-care is actually a simplistic notion when what we require to realize our highest wellness and levels of self-realization, our most harmonious and loving relationship/s, and our most radiant human experience, is embracing self-love…

Self-love transcends all our foibles, defenses, and patterns… It transcends hopelessness, anger, and fear, our ego… It transcends judgment… It is the way to our better existence…

As we start the new year, and we are excited for a new beginning and a new me, #ME2.0, I want to offer a simple framework for shifting our mindset, and our consciousness, around how to go about being ourselves and doing our lives…

Let’s kick off the new year right, this shift will usher in your grandest life adventure…

In today’s episode, I debunk limiting ideas about self-care and how to go about it for the upshifting self-love practice and how to easily make it a part of your life…

Best Practices for a Healthy, Wealthy and Financially Successful Marriage w/ Stacy Francis (Ep.7)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 11:00:00 GMT

How you manage the finances in your relationship is a good barometer of your relationship health… Yes, a bold statement.

The thing is that finances equal the relationship’s resources and ability to realize the couples’ Best Life… Now, I’m not claiming that you need a ton of money to have your Best Life, nor that if you have a ton of money that you are realizing your Best Life… It’s not about the amount…

What I am claiming is that how you manage the finances in your relationship is an indicator of the strength of your partnership and what kind of life you are able to realize…

When there is lack of transparency, collaboration, and partnership in money management the same can potentially be found in other areas of the relationship…

In today’s episode, I have a compelling and resourceful conversation about how to manage finances in our relationship with our partner and how to create a secure and wealthy future. And, who knew, almost anyone can become a millionaire!

How to Thrive this Holiday Season by Managing Expectations, Temptations, and Family Dynamics - Emma Solo (Ep.6)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 11:00:00 GMT

Do you find the Holiday Season stressful and overwhelming, wonderful and magical, or all of the above? You are not alone in feeling ambivalent about the holidays. There is so much that takes place and that we experience in a short amount of time. And yes, I know- first world problems…

None-the-less this is part of our experience and to deny it or minimize doesn’t serve us.

The opposite is true. In having awareness of how we are operating and feeling we can have our own back, address what’s not serving us, and create the magic we seek…

The holidays, just as anything else in our life, are what we make of them. Do we make them more challenging than they have to be? Do we create bondage we are approach? Do we trigger ourselves? Do we give our power away? Do we create misery? All this can be avoided and the opposite created.

We can have a smooth end-of-year, magical holidays and exciting new year only if we are intentional and proactive about what we create…

In today’s episode, I fly solo to help you have your own back. I cover the things that make the holidays challenging and offer ways to manage, anticipate and get ahead of them so a smoother and more enjoyable, joyful and magical season…

About Men: Don't Let Anger Issues and Toxicity Affect Your Holidays w/ Richard Heller (Ep.5)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 11:00:00 GMT

Do your holiday plans and activities get derailed? Have you ever wondered about the impact of the feminist movement on the romantic relationship and on men?

I have, a lot, as a part of the work I do with couples… Because we not only have all the emotional and psychological aspects at play in our relationship dynamics, but we have all sorts of other influences affecting how we get along… And gender and our own individual energies play a huge role in how we experience the relationship and each other.

The key is always to bring awareness to all we do and to all our contexts, especially in the relationship with our life Partner. For bringing more awareness, and higher levels of consciousness, to our interactions helps us more easily understand each other and connect more deeply.

In today’s episode, we have a very special guest, Richard Heller, and we discuss the masculine experience in relationship and what this means for them, for the feminine, and the relationship as a whole. We tried our best to be as inclusive as possible in our conversation and ask that you tailor the pronouns and other relevant gender aspects to fit your situation and relationship constitution. The intention is to address and help navigate the differences between partners, and not necessarily the social constructs around gender, to inspire successful relationships.

Simple, Sexy and Super Generous Money Management w/ Christine Luken (Ep.4)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 11:00:00 GMT

Whoever said that budgeting, crunching numbers and money management is dry and boring?

Finances and money management can be a source of conflicts in many relationships. Partners bring their own backgrounds, experiences, and habits to their relationship when it comes to finances, and they have their own relationship with money.

Top this with their own programming around abundance, worth, value and so on, and their relationship dynamics to make things more complicated, and not for nothing money is a hot topic for many couples.

Usually, one of partners is savvier or more interested in crunching the numbers, tracking the money, and managing the finances. Which leaves the other at odds with the whole process and money matters. This is not their strength and find the whole thing tedious, which frustrates their partner even more.

In today’s episode, we have a very special guest, Christine Luken, and we discuss how money is emotional, how our unconscious programming plays a role in our money management, how the partners can create a money management system that’s mutually satisfying and actually fun and sexy! We also covered the importance of being generous for creating more abundance and for its own sake. A fabulous mindset around the holidays but in life in general.

Use Your Strengths to Have a Huge Impact on Your Relationship w/ Nermine Zakhary (Ep.2)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 10:00:00 GMT

Did you know that our strengths can have a huge positive impact in our relationship, as well as a negative impact? Yep. We can influence, create change, and spearhead transformation in our relationship with our strengths. But if we are not intentional about how we use them, they can also be misused and be detrimental to our relationship…

It all starts with having awareness of our strengths, owning them, and understanding how to use them… For then we can capitalize on what they offer making our interactions smoother and more meaningful.

When we intentionally operate from our strengths we radiate, entice, and invite others to a wonderful dance with us. We have impact in the moment, on our partner’s experience, and on their heart.

When we lead with our strengths, cultivate them, and use them to complement and align with our partner in our mindset, communication, interactions, connection and collaboration we have a huge impact on creating the relationship of our dreams…

Today we have another special episode with a wonderful guest, Nermine Zakhary, speaking on how to discover and use our strengths.

We have a fabulous time delving into strengths and how they impact our relationship, and we explored mine to illustrate the power of using our strengths intentionally.

The Secret Ingredients for a Successful Relationship w/ Carole Cullen (Ep.1)

Emma K Viglucci — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 04:00:00 GMT

Are you ready to unlock the secrets of a successful relationship? Who says being in a committed relationship is hard? Though relationships can be challenging they don’t have to be if we are intentional about how we go about creating our successful relationship.

There are some key ingredients that we need to bring to our relationship for it to be gratifying and successful.

Committed relationships, marriage, are special, delicate, and very important to our overall wellbeing. They are the pillar of our society as they stabilize the family unit, and are the strongest influence on our children.

This is why it’s my mission to cater to the wellbeing of couples. After 20 years of working with couples and helping them create their successful relationship, I embraced a longtime dream of hosting a relationship podcast. Which I’m proud to launch today!

Today’s video is special as it’s a video of my first podcast episode- I’m so excited to launch our new podcast…

In this episode I interview a longtime friend and colleague, Carole Cullen who is also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Together we geek out about a few secret ingredients that make for a successful relationship.

Hope this information serves you and helps you get on the path to your Successful Relationship.

With Love & Light from our NYC Headquarters 💗

Trailer: Successful Relationship with Emma Podcast

Emma K Viglucci — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 14:00:00 GMT

Hello Lovelies!

Welcome to my new podcast, Successful Relationship with Emma, that will launch on September 27th, 2024, and air every other Wednesday on your favorite platform.

If you are looking to get married or stay married, you have come to the right place.

We specialize in serving committed couples who are feeling disconnected and can’t seem to get on the same page.

So why a Podcast? I have always wanted to do a podcast as I love that through a podcast episode we can go deep into a topic much more easily than through any other content format available to the public. And, as I’m here to serve and help couples have the relationship they desire, and create a stable, healthy, and nurturing home for their children, I wanted to create content through this medium as well to support them in their journey.

This podcast provides insights and conversations with experts to shed light and provide inspiration on how to embrace a relationship enrichment lifestyle and better connect with ourselves (including our Higher Self), our partner, our loved ones, our community, and our world at large. It provides practical takeaways to create immediate shifts in your relationship and your life.

With over 20 years of working with all things relationship, we help romantic partners through our Successful Relationship Strategy™ to:

1~ Empower themselves and break any impasses
2~ Uplevel their communication and easily get on the same page
3~ Change hurtful patterns and consistently meet their needs
4~ Reignite their love and deepen their connection
5~ Create a strong partnership and a harmonious, joyful, and loving home

The approach boils down to the basic concept of embracing a Relationship Enrichment Lifestyle.

It is based on my Transcendental Relationship Therapy™, which I developed over the course of working with and helping many couples transform their relationship. This is a personal-relational psychotherapy that supports romantic partners in becoming their best selves, creating their successful relationship, and living meaningful lives.

And, this podcast is a precursor to other projects inspired by my mission… Stay tuned for those…

See you inside, where relationship enrichment is a lifestyle!
