The New Relationship Reality Show – Kat Knecht

An Unpredictable Match Last week the show asked, “What makes a good match?” This week the focus shifts to, “What make a match that will go the distance?” We’re talking about marriage. Kat’s guest, Debbie Taylor, has some answers that will warm your heart, stimulate your brain and surprise you. Debbie is a minister, a healer and a woman of great wisdom. She and Kat have a great conversation… so listen up and have fun!!!  

What makes a GOOD match in a relationship? Kat & Curtis end with that topic but first they take a look at: “What makes a BAD match? What should you WATCH OUT for in a relationship?” You may be surprised by what they come up with. In between those two topics, they explore MISMATCHES and other anomalies of this world of relationships. It’s a pretty fun conversation. Listen up and have fun!!! www.RelationshipCoaching.com

We’ve all heard the phrase, “And they lived happily ever after…” It may make you swoon or have you rolling your eyes… depending on your romantic perspective of the moment. Doesn’t it seem to be a lofty statement to make with the divorce rate hovering around 50%? I believe that way too much attention is paid to the “Ever After” part of that equation and never enough attention to the “Happily” part. Knowing how a couple can maintain a Happy marriage, not just one that can be marked by its length of time… does that seem like something worth exploring? And to do this not only for each of us personally, but also in service of creating a better world… one marriage at a time. Well, that’s just what Kat does on this show with her guests, Pricilla & Greg Hunt, who are coming up on their 38th wedding anniversary and genuinely exude a happiness that is downright contagious. Just listen in and you’ll know what we mean. Pricilla is Executive Director for Better Marriages. She and Greg are Certified Specialists in Marriage Enrichment. They are one happy couple.

What is the key to manifesting the kinds of relationships that are fulfilling for you? What can you do as an individual that will influence the relationship you want to be in or already are in? What about when there is discord in a relationship? What can you do as a relationship to manifest the kind of community of kindred spirits for yourself and your partner that will nourish and support your relationship? These questions and many more are answered as Kat brings her husband Curtis onto the show once again to explore and delve into the “Invisible Stuff” that is the powerful field of relationship.

Ever ride a tandem bicycle? Do you dance the swing, waltz or rumba? What about a high wire act where you are balancing on the person who is balancing on the tightrope? Ever done THAT before? Manifesting in Partnership is Kat’s summer topic and exploring it with her husband Curtis is a lot of fun for her. They have now reached the point where ACTION is needed in the manifesting process. Acting in tandem, like riding a bicycle, dancing or performing a high wire act together, can be very tricky. Wouldn’t you agree? How do two very different people take action in tandem for a common purpose and result? How do we stay connected as a couple and keep our individual freedom? Kat & Curtis describe a recent event in which they needed to take action in tandem yet each had a very different action they wanted to take. How do you manifest in partnership when it’s time to take action and you find yourselves on very different pages??? Listen up and have fun!!!

Imagination is our greatest strength as humans… just look around. EVERYTHING you see, think and know comes from our imagination. All our relationships thrive on imagination. All creation exists through our human imagination. Without imagination, we are without life. When it comes to manifesting in partnership (the summer theme of this show) Kat and Curtis imagined having a fun and enlightening conversation about Imagination in Partnership. Then they went and HAD that conversation about Imagination in Partnership … and not only that, they actually RECORDED that conversation, and… it’s just a click away from you right now. What sparks our imagination in partnership? What opens our minds to unlimited possibilities? What’s the ONE tool that will open your mind, heart and soul to the flow of creative ideas with another? What does it take to riff off each other until you are not only ON the same page but actually IN the same story… and it’s a love story? Listen up and have fun!!! www.RelationshipCoaching.com

How do you get the love you want, or ANYTHING you want, for that matter, in a romantic relationship with ANOTHER PERSON??? I mean, why don’t they think just like I think? Shouldn’t they want the same things as I want? Shouldn’t they see things exactly the same as I do?  Well, that’s not how it works, as we all know… very well. In a relationship there are two distinct people, each with their own desires and ways of expressing them. So how do two hearts get on the same page with each other to manifest their heart’s desires? On today’s show, Kat & Curtis explore this manifesting, co-creative process and reveal truths and tools you can use in your relationships to really get what you want, together. As they say on the show, this is the “promised land” and the sweetest feeling alive. Listen up and have fun!!!  

Imagine you are in one of those tense & tender moments in your relationship… feelings are running high and you know it will turn negative in a flash unless you do something different this time. You listened to last week’s show when Kat & Curtis talked about STOPPING the negative and you do that!!! You have turned the tide and “stopped the madness”. This is a huge accomplishment. Congratulate yourself. In the PAUSE that follows, you notice something. A moment before, the conversation was heading downhill to the usual negative places… but now… now there is a silence… notice it… and you get to fill this silence with something NEW. That’s the “Lightbulb Moment”. On today’s show Kat continues her summer series with her husband, Curtis, in which they outline a way you can fill that silence with INSPIRATION, in a way that will bring a breath of fresh air into your relationship’s conversations. Find out how you can, in that Lightbulb Moment, ask the questions that connect you with your heart… check in with your body… allow lightbulbs to go off and inspiration to flow… and from that, good things will always follow. Kat & Curtis talk about what they have discovered about the power of inspiration in their own relationship and in the work they do with others. It’s a great conversation.

Have you ever been in a conversation with your sweetheart that suddenly went SOUTH? You know what I mean… I know you do. I mean, suddenly there was some sort of adversarial, argumentative, “I’m right and you’re wrong” interaction that had you thinking, “This relationship would be PERFECT if it weren’t for YOU!” On today’s show, Kat continues her summer series with her husband, Curtis, about a game they developed in their relationship to deal with those exact moments when each of them were harboring a variation of that thought. In other words, when they were in a power struggle. They call it “The STOP-GO Game” and describe how it helps remove some thorny obstacles to manifesting in partnership. Listen and learn, it’s a great conversation.

What is this thing called “Manifesting”? • Is it a fancy-dancy, woo-woo, New Age word that means fluffy-duffy wishful thinking? • Or is it a powerful, natural law governing how we humans co-create our worlds? Kat begins a four-part summer series on our creativity in partnership in today’s show. She looks at the question couples ask, “How can we, as a couple, make our dreams come true?” For this show, Kat took the risk of inviting her husband, Curtis, to engage in a personal and revealing conversation about how they co-create their life together and use what they call “Manifesting” in a powerful way. Curtis used to think that “Manifesting” was pretty fluffy-duffy until he ran into Kat. He thinks differently now. Listen to what he has to say about that shift.

This week Kat ventures into new territory! This is “Reality Radio” where you can hear HER being interviewed. Kat talks about the time she got angry and blew a wad of cash. She reveals how she ended up in a breakdown with a family member. Kat lets you in on her experience of some very challenging relationships in which she needed to practice forgiveness. On today’s show Kat reveals to Reverend Cathy and her Unity of Ventura congregation the way she discovered to bring forgiveness to those who had “done her wrong” and to actually use this relationship challenge to create a new perspective for herself and to welcome something better into her life.

A while back, there was a TV show called “30 Something” which explored the “Forever Young” Baby Boomer Generation’s transition into true adulthood and all of its complications. That generation HAD BECOME the folks over thirty that they had vowed “never to trust” just a short while earlier. What about today’s generation of 30 year olds? Do they have it easier than their Baby Boomer grandparents? What are the complications in their romantic lives? Are there really more choices, more freedoms, more pressures and more confusions than ever before? Or do they really have it better? You will find the answers to these questions – and a whole lot more – when you listen to Kat and Shirley Oya’s conversation on today’s show. Shirley is a Mom, a Life & Career coach for 30 Somethings, and a work-life balance expert. She is the author of the informative “30s & More” blog. She is also the founder of the soon-to-be launched, Uplift all Moms, devoted to providing career-driven moms with inspiration, tips & tools for creating work-life harmony.

“Make new friends but keep the old One is silver and the other gold” That song has stuck with me —through many experiences in the territory of friendships. I have moved to new places more than once in my life and found out it can be challenging to make new friends as an adult. There is an equal, though different, challenge with maintaining the bonds with old family and friends who are no longer a part of my everyday life. Friendships are one of the great treasures in life. Silver and Gold and sometimes, if you are lucky, Platinum! Keeping and maintaining them when you change your location is worthwhile, for sure. Navigating this territory of big changes in your life, both geographically and in relationships, is the topic of conversation today. Kat and her regular guest, Kate Nash owner of Cosmotion, engage in a wonderful conversation about how each has navigated these friendship waters while making significant changes in their lives. You will enjoy this one.

Kat explores her mystification with Father’s Day and her STRONG opinion that making it a “Mother’s Day for Men” is just not cool! Kat talks about basics with her guest today. Most men love to work. They also love to PLAY with their kids on Father’s Day. How do they find a good balance of work and play, especially when it comes to playing with their kids? HOW? Kat will be talking about how men can enjoy fatherhood more by finding the HOW of that much sought after and illusive experience of a balanced life. To enlighten this subject she engages in a lively conversation with a guest who is a man, a father and a master coach. His name is Ken Mossman and you can find out all about him at: www.cirruscoaching.com Right now, though, listen to their conversation.

This show is a real treat as Kat brings her husband, Curtis Knecht, MFT, onto the show and they explore the “mystery of fatherhood” in a lively and insightful conversation. What’s the role of fathers? How are fathers different than mothers? What are the qualities of fathers that are unique and valuable? What qualities might be best to NOT pass on to the next generation? What do fathers do that nobody else can do? Kat & Curtis share some memories of their own fathers and then allow their conversation to travel into some juicy territory. Kat reveals the results of her survey: “What is the one thing that fathers want most on Father’s Day?”

That Is the question that Kat and her guest, the Reverend Cathy Norman, explore in a lively conversation on this show. • What is the purpose of marriage? • Is a legal union for security and protection or a spiritual bond? • Does marriage actually bring security or breed contempt? • Why do some people long to get married and others prefer to stay single OR have another form of commitment that does not include the legal mumbo jumbo. • What is the history of marriage anyway? • Who came up with this crazy idea? • Is there an evolution of committed relationships going on now that is creating a whole new form of commitment? If you are married, plan to get married or care at all about committed relationships, this show is a “must listen”, so click on the link and have fun.   –

I LOVE Retreats!! I have loved them since I was a kid at camp. As a grown up, this love expresses with family reunions, friends who share my interests and romantic retreats where my husband and I enhance our relationship with NO distractions. There is a certain kind of freedom that we CAN’T get any other way. Have you ever gotten so caught up in your everyday “Doings” that you lose touch with your heart and soul? You know how that drains you of all the joy that life has to offer, especially with other people? It’s BAD NEWS. The GOOD NEWS is this: When you take the time to make your own wellbeing a priority, do you notice how it also works for the good of those around you? It works like Magic! Today’s guest is Dr. Lisa Love. Lisa is a magician of the retreat experience and she and Kat dig deep into all the ways that retreats enhance our lives and relationships.

It’s time to buckle up your seat belts and listen in as Kat brings her husband, Curtis, onto the show to engage in a Big Conversation about what brings us happiness in our relationships. You’ll never think of your car in quite the same way after hearing what they have to say about their own marriage and the roads of happiness they travel together. Enough said… listen to the show.
