Are you TRULY ready for a new relationship? Does your single status make you feel discontent or hopeless? Do you run from experiences that make you feel uncomfortable, just because it's different (not worse) than what you are used to? Have you ever tried to take shortcuts to connection and intimacy and failed?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then listen to Darren Pierre, Ph.D and I in this podcast episode where we discuss:

• Ways you may be deceived about the role you play in relationships
• Why finding “a good man” or a “good woman” is not your problem—nor your focus
• How to examine the genesis of your relationships issues to get a revelation about what needs to change
• Why new situations where you are treated well may make you feel so uncomfortable
• How to move from awareness to analysis to action so that you can change your negative perspective on being single

Did you miss me? The hiatus was short but refreshing, and now I'm back with all new episodes! This first one of 2016 features NO GUESTS; instead the content still comes from others with my take on it--I call it "Read to Me, Ree!"

In this new Read to Me, Ree! series, I curate articles of interest and share enlightening passages that will make you think. In this episode, I'm reading excerpts from three articles by Sylvia High, Erykah Badu and Seth Godin. What a mix! They are challenging us to consider our false pretenses,the lack of life fulfillment, and whether the pursuit of your calling is a worthy task.
