Just as you form habits or patterns in your day to day life, you naturally do the same in your relationships. They are your relationship patterns. Each relationship has a pattern.

Why Vulnerability is the Best Aphrodisiac

August 14, 2017September 5, 2017Elizabeth Overstreet

Originally published in Elephant Journal. As a relationship coach, I have noticed the strong impact of vulnerability on sexual attraction. And as a real person who dates, I have seen the undeniable effects of vulnerability in my own life. Which is why I want to share the concept with you. Everyone is relationship challenged Even relationship coaches can have relationship challenges. Our challenges, or what I call "relationship setbacks," make us wise and understanding coaches.

3 Reasons Why Bad Relationships are the Best Teachers

July 30, 2017July 31, 2017Elizabeth Overstreet

But when love takes a turn and things fall apart in a relationship, it can be the worst feeling. This may leave you...

Additional hikes away from the campsite were 5-10 miles each way. It was a weekend full of walking. Hiking can be an intensive endeavor. As we walked through the canyon, much of the terrain consisted of sand or slippery rocks, and we often had to climb up or down in...

Why Are You Still Single – The Great Love Debate

April 1, 2016June 30, 2017Elizabeth Overstreet

Interestingly, for the first time in a long time in history, 50.2%of the population is single. Not too long ago, the norm was the opposite. Most of us were married. But, times have changed. We are waiting longer to get married because we want to make sure we marry the right person. Being single is ironic, especially in the age of hyper connectedness. You would think with all of the technology apps we have access to, it would be easier. But it's not. And, ironically, you may still be having a hard time connecting with what you really want - your soul mate. I will be at the Great Love Deba...
