In this episode Nadine and Donna tackle the topic of dealing with people in our lives that are high maintenance. It is imperative for our well-being to set boundaries and let friends and family and others that we can only do so much for them. In order to live fulfilling lives and to maintain our energy, we must make it clear to those people in our lives that expect way too much from us in all kinds of areas. Whether you have a partner that is too demanding, or a friend who expects you to be available to them 24/7, we need to communicate how we feel and in a loving way, make it clear that we have limits as to how much of ourselves we can give. We also need to have people give back to us. And if we discover that we are doing all the giving, it may be time to reevaluate the relationship. Thank you for listening.

What are we allowed to say these days?

Here is a lost recording that was taped at the end of May 2021! In this episode, Nadine shares her story on how she broke her ankle...It has been quite an ordeal to say the least. She is still dealing with the repercussions since then...Which leads us to the topic of learning to accept help when it is offered to you. Sometimes, we need our family and friends to help us. As much as we all feel quite capable, there are times when a crisis strikes, and we have to say help! Very often, we refuse to ask for the help, and often refuse when it is offered. However, in times of need, be it health issues, family, work, tragedies, accidents, etc., we all need to be there for others, but also allow others to be there for us. In this video, we look at how we are all part of a community, and at the end of the day, we need to contribute, and allow to have that come back to us when we need it. We are truly all connected on this planet! Thank you for listening. Please send us your comments, subscribe, and let us know what you think.

Thank you for listening and please send us your comments and questions. Nadine & Donna

In this episode Donna and Nadine explore what it means to be compassionate and how we can all take care of one another. Listen to others and try to understand them. It is also important to try and put yourself in the other person's shoes. We need to not be quick to judge someone else's life when we are not living it. All of us have our struggles, so if we take a moment and really listen to someone, and care about what they may be going through in that moment, we will all be compassionate.

Reciprocity is the key to an equitable relationship. Whether it is a friend, or a boyfriend, we need to evaluate what that person brings to the table. One thing to ask yourself is, "Do they add value to my life?" And what we mean by that, is does this person add to my life, or are they taking energy and positivity from it? This is not about whether or not someone is giving us monetary value, it is about how they contribute to our well being, growth and happiness. In this episode, Nadine shares a humorous story to illustrate one of the ways you can be sure that someone is subtracting value as opposed to adding it to your life.

 This episode is “off road” from what we have done for previous topics in Teach People How to Treat You. Today is about encouraging middle aged women to Teach Yourself to Treat You. Particular focus is on vaginal dryness and thinning walls as a result of menopause, perimenopause and early menopause as a result of health issues. Donna and Nadine have taken a serious yet fun approach in opening up discussions on this topic. The female body endures a lot through its lifetime From getting our periods in our early teen years, to child bearing, hormone changes and the road towards menopause. When we arrive at this, the latest stage in our body’s preparation for the former points, Mother Nature is often harsh by leaving us to deal with vaginal dryness. Ugh….. why? Seems to us that we should have some form of reprieve or reward after everything our V has gone through but………Donna has something very interesting to share on how we can treat ourselves to rejuvenating our vaginas post child bearing years so we can enjoy the pleasures of sex rather than dreading its discomfort. Thank you for listening and let us know if you have any questions or comments! Donna's Doctor, who offers this treatment is Dr. Sharma in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. His number is 1-905-849-8855 Make sure you tell him that Donna referred you from this podcast. Nadine & Donna xo

What are you Worth? You are invaluable and you need to know that and carry that in confidence. In our society today, people are considered dispensable. How many times have we heard an employer say, *any one can be replaced.* While the position or spot may be refilled, that doesn’t mean you are dispensable. Not one person is dispensable. Each one of us has unique attributes that one way or the other has us bring a different value to the table. While our latest video is geared primarily towards the work place, Donna and Nadine discuss the importance of knowing your self worth and to embrace it. More importantly, work towards not letting anyone take it away from you under any circumstances. Maybe you are no longer the right fit for the job you’ve been doing, or your personal relationship is not continuing on the same journey it has since it started. Often in those instances when a relationship is coming to an end, there are disparaging comments about the person on the other side of the relationship. Don’t let those allow you to diminish your self worth. If it’s not in the current relationship, somewhere and with someone else it will be. Watch our video to see how Donna and Nadine feel we can all value ourselves more. Thanks for listening. Please leave your comments and subscribe. Donna & Nadine xo
