Welcome back! This week's guest is the queen of no-nonsense… Johanna Ricouz, you might know her as Jungle Johanna on IG ;)
Johanna is a Miami based trainer, Power Yoga teacher, and certified pilates instructor, and her biggest goal is to diversify the wellness space and uplift her community with knowledge, so that every single student feels welcomed to train.
Here's the deal though, if you follow her on IG, she is compassionately, empathetically, and emphatically NO NONSENSE. Just because she operates from a place of peace does not mean she takes the bullshit. In fact, she taketh, no shit. None.
She is authentic to the core. This is a woman who has the guts to show up as herself every single day, and she helps other people shine in the process. So excited to plug in with the pilates plug herself, Johann Ricouz. Tune in!
BTW. Are you looking for deeper connection? You know what I say. “Come sit with us.” But for real. Join my EXCLUSIVE online women’s community for Becoming: HER today.
Xoxo,

Jamie Lee Ruiz is BACK, baby, and this time we are talking about… AGE DIFFERENCES IN RELATIONSHIPS LFG 👀
In this episode…
The ”50 shades of grey” guys Open communication Safety Inappropriate age gaps and what makes them inappropriate…When age gaps are goodSettling into adulthoodThe magic of being young, wild, and free Losing your light and reclaiming it.Quotes
“Women have to get a lot more comfortable in their own skin to understand what they want, what they like, and what they expect.” - Nikki Spo
“Men don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t know what you like or what you want if you don’t say it.” - Jamie Lee Ruiz
“I had to grow up very quickly and because of that I’ve learned that children should never be placed in adult roles. Parents sometimes emotionally dump on their children when it's not a child's responsibility to hold the emotional or physical capacity or weight of an adult.” - Nikki Spo
“There are men that have healing to do and either don’t know that they have to do it, or don’t want to do it and so it’s easier to get a young woman who is easily manipulated or molded that isn’t going to challenge them to grow.” - Jamie Lee Ruiz

What is up my friends and welcome back to The Know! Today we have Marni Battista who is the founder of Dating with Dignity and the Institute for Living Courageously. Marni is one of those women who is walking the talk, she's just doin it all! We have so much to cover today but some of the heavy hitting topics you can expect from this episode is dating after divorce in today's complex social environment, were talking about why women date unavailable men, and how we can move away from suffering through unfulfilling relationships and into relationships that are fulfilling, love centered, want based, happy, and safe. With that, let's get started!

“Dating with dignity is waking up the next day feeling great about yourself. It's about not taking rejection personally, it's about having an abundant life, it's about setting boundaries and acting on the behalf of your highest self and knowing your value.” - Marni Battista
“In this new dating scene post divorce I have had to rediscover who I am as a single woman and what I want in a new relationship moving forward.” - Nikki Spo
“If you have dignity, self worth, and self respect and you have the actual tools to communicate appropriately, dating is actually kind of fun.” - Marni Battista
“At this point in my life, men now are competing with my peace. I love myself so much and so if somebody else loves me, that's just icing on the cake” - Nikki Spo
