I invited Bee to share her personal experience of dating after divorce.

Like many women I know, Bee struggled with the whole "online dating" concept {especially in NYC} but stuck it out and stayed true to her desires before meeting her current partner of 3.5 years, which by the way, started off on the wrong foot due to her interrogating questions.

James Sexton is trial lawyer from NYC with two decades of experience negotiating and litigating high-conflict divorces. He's also the best selling author of “If you’re in my office, it’s already too late: a divorce lawyer’s guide to staying together”.

Whilst this book is written for those already in a committed relationship or marriage, I believe it’s a brilliant book to read before you even think about being in a committed relationship or marriage.

Reverse engineering a relationship can help identify and fix what doesn’t work, and that’s exactly the kind of insight and wisdom that James can offer us all thanks to many years he’s spent working on the front lines of divorce.

In this episode James and I talk about:

• Why relationships fail AND how to avoid these pitfalls
• The freedom of reinventing yourself after divorce
• The need for deep connection and the importance of compatibility
• What you need to know before looking for love or committing to a relationship
• Why what’s fun when you’re dating could be a pain in the ass when you’re married
• What women can do to bring out the best in their man, and
• How to have the hard conversations.

Enjoy!

Her dating stories will inspire you to throw your typical type out the window, create a brand new criteria for “swiping right”, make “time pressured” deals with the Universe and start living the life you’ve always wanted, right now.

Hayley will also inspire you to open your heart one more time, and always one more time, even when you don’t think you can trust your own judgment about love anymore.

Enjoy!

"When one has been unfaithful and subsequently made the decision to stay in the relationship and not to share (and feels good about this decision), what really needs to be examined? Yourself, desires, the relationship, the other person...where to start!?

If the infidelity has absolutely 100% enhanced the partnership (without telling the partner - just by shifting a few things personally) where to then? Can you REALLY keep it to yourself, forgive yourself and move on together in the long term?"

Tune in to hear my advice.
