Show Notes

Could this conversation be my best work yet on the podcast?

I LOVED this chat with Mr Dean Blankfield! A spiritual life coach and mentor who is on a mission to help transcend other's to a life of purpose and action. Dean currently resides in Bondi Beach but grew up in Perth and lived in Melbourne too. He is clear and articulate with his language and helped me understand so much about the human mind in very simple terms. This podcast is also up live on YouTube for those who want to see us visually having a laugh and giggle most of this hour. Enjoy!

Podcast Show Notes and Discoveries:

  • Understanding generational trauma - why men struggle more with sharing their emotions based on history and society expectations
  • Learning how to express our emotions will help you grow in life and business
  • How to show up for yourself and in all your relationships, communication and honesty are essential for healthy relationships
  • Five love languages clarified - words of affirmation, quality time, giving gifts, acts of service, physical touch.
  • Attachment theory (4 different styles - avoidant, anxious, secure and avoidant-anxious) and understanding how our childhood trauma affects our adult relationships and intimate partnerships
