When you add the challenges of aging to the mix, love becomes even more complicated. Many people end up settling, or giving up on what they want most. But you don't have to! Dating and relationships become easier when you hear people share vulnerably about their struggles, and how they've created more connection and excitement. I bring my 20 years of experience, coaching thousands of people, to help you see what's possible, and how the practice of love makes it possible to have the best love and sex of your life!

In this episode, Shana James sits down with Self-Love & Relationship Coach Risa Gaull , who reminds us of a powerful truth: you are the love you seek. If you've read Calling in \"The One\" by Kathryn Woodward Thomas and wondered how to truly become and attract a soul-aligned partner, this episode is for you. Risa Gaull, who is a certified coach for Kathryn's program, joins me to explore how self-love, healing your wounds, and shifting your identity, help you call in conscious, commitment-ready love. We explore what it actually takes to call in a soul-aligned partner, not through manifestation tricks or self-improvement, but through deep self-alignment, emotional responsibility, and healing the wounded parts of ourselves that learned love had to be earned. Risa shares how to recognize when you're relating from your wounded self versus your true self, including the subtle body, emotional, and thought-based signals that reveal whether you're in alignment or operating from old survival stories.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why self-alignment is the foundation of soul-aligned partnership The three signs you're relating from your wounded self (and how to come back) How to meet anxious or insecure parts with compassion instead of judgment Why your partner is not your source of validation, and how that creates healthier relationships What ch…","meta_description":"What if calling in \"the one\" who is a soul-aligned partner isn't about doing more, but about coming home to who you truly are?
