Today on the show I'm talking to Matt LeBris, award-winning entrepreneur and host of the Decoding Success podcast. I listen to Matt's show, and recently I've heard him talking a lot about love and dating from the male perspective, so I thought it would be fun to have him on the show and ask him the questions me and my girls RACK our brains about when it comes to men. With all the advice out there - from YouTube to TikTok to all the books that tell us what to do and what NOT to do when it comes to men, I'm going straight to the source. We chat about the shift in modern dating and if THE RULES really mean anything at all. Do guys really love the chase? Do they view women differently if you sleep with them on the first date? Are men REALLY intimidated by successful women? Grab a glass of wine and get ready for some juicy stuff. This is so enlightening. I know you're gonna love it. Let's get to it.

Have you ever found yourself obsessing, spiraling, and rushing your relationships? Maybe you've spent way to much time overanalyzing his texts, stalking his social media, or giving a guy way to much mental real estate. In today's episode, I'm going to help you reclaim your inner peace and let go of the obsession so you can step into your best, healthiest, and most confident self.

One of the #1 questions I get from women is, "How do I get over a guy that isn't right for me?" If you've ever had a hard time detaching from someone that isn't the best fit for you, you're going to love this episode. Bring a pen and paper because I'm giving you game-changing tips that will help you step into your power and finally get over "Mr. Wrong," or at the very least stop giving away so much of your energy and start bringing the focus back to you.

No matter how much men say they want an equal partner, a woman who's smart, successful, and fiercely independent, studies find that those women often make men feel emasculated or inferior (so no, its not in your head, boo!) There is research by Lora Park, associate professor in the University at Buffalo psychology department, that shows when asked what they wanted in a woman, men wanted "the whole package" – specifically women who were smart and successful. But when given the opportunity to close the distance, and actually meet and/or date these women, the men started to lose interest. So the good news is, in most cases, it's not you, it's definitely him. But what can we do about it? Today's episode will teach you how to navigate the modern dating landscape, stop blaming yourself for failed relationships, and approach dating in a new and empowered way.

Enrollment for Coaching Queen is only open for 2 more days. Join us now here: https://www.thechampagnediet.com/coaching-queen Less than a week ago, I opened the doors to Coaching Queen and within 3 days I had generated $56,000 in sales with minimal effort (and a lot of fun and freedom), so I thought I would break it down to you and share how I did it, and how you can, too. Here's the thing about creating a powerful coaching brand in today's day and age - you do not have to be an OG, or have had a brand for over a decade to create a massive impact or generate a massive income. All you need is a smart phone, a great mentor to show you the way, and passion. In today's epsiode, I'm breaking it all down for you.

Listen up, babe: All the manifestation techniques in the world cannot change a man who doesn't want to change himself. Everyone has potential. It's what you do with it that matters. No matter what this person has accomplished in the past, or dreams of accomplishing, we need to date who they are in the PRESENT moment. In today's episode, we're going to talk about why settling is no longer the vibe. It's time to stop dating potential and start raising your standards when it comes to dating and relationships.

There are only a few days left to enroll in COACHING QUEEN! Limited spots are available. Sign up here: https://www.thechampagnediet.com/coaching-queen It's easy to think successful 6 and 7 coaches have it all figured out, never experienced any failures, and have something that you don't. That could not be further from the truth. I've had book signings that nobody showed up to except my husband and my bestie. I've launched programs that nobody bought. I've flopped major speaking gigs and had panic attacks in front of hundreds of people. But I pushed through all of those uncomfortable moments because I believed in myself. I knew that each "failure" was really just an experience. And they made me more resilient, more focused, and more determined to become a success. In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 things I wish I knew before becoming a coach. I hope this episode saves you time, stress, and makes you feel less alone in your business.

That's right – I put myself on a billboard in Times Square. It was actually an advertisement for this podcast. We're coming up on nearly 10 million downloads, so I figured, why not celebrate? It's not lost on me that my face was on a billboard in Times Square, across the street from the cubicle I used to sit in for 8 years. The cubicle I dreamed in and desperately plotted to get out of. In today's episode, I'm sharing how it all went down. There is immense power in choosing yourself. In cultivating a vision, working your ass off to see it through, and keeping blinders on all along the way. Wherever you are today, I hope you realize that your biggest adventures are up to you. Nobody is coming to hand anything to you (or me) on a silver platter. Take the risk. Do the thing. Make the decision. Blow yourself up. Decide. If you don't, who will?

Apply for the Girl on Fire Mastermind here. It's impossible to magnetize the things we want when our vibe is off. When we identify with a version of ourselves that never gets what she wants. When we feel low, drained, and disenchanted. In today's episode, I'm sharing tangible tips and shifts you can use right now to "kill the old you" and start attracting what you want now.

Have you ever felt paralyzed at the thought of making changes in your life? No matter how badly we want something, it can be challenging to see ourselves as the person who can actually make it happen. So we wait. We put our success in the hands of "fate" or someone else who can give us our big break. Then, when it doesn't happen, we tell our old tired story of how we're "unlucky", we're not worthy, and that we'll never have the life we want. In today's episode, I'm sharing my best tips and my own personal process on how to see things differently, and release the thoughts and things that are keeping you stuck.

In the 13+ years that I've been creating, re-imagining, and refining my brand, The Champagne Diet, I've witnessed many "experts" and coaches offer different approaches to business building. Some I've agreed with, and some have been downright damaging. One of the more popular approaches is finding your niche. And while I am not totally against niches, I don't think they are for everyone. If you've found something super specific and it's working for you and your audience - that's wonderful! I just know I could not do the exact same thing for the past 13 years, and almost every single one of my business clients has come to me feeling suffocated by the idea that she has to choose some specialized segment of her market and never veer off course. In today's episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on why the "niche" is dead and how we can begin to look at our brands from a completely different, more creative, empowered perspective.

☆ Click here to join ICONIC! Doors are closing TODAY ☆ There seems to be this narrative going on in the world of entrepreneurship where you're supposed to niche down on this one very specific thing, go 10x on that thing, drown yourself in webinars and content from others who are also doing that very specific thing, burn yourself out, and move onto the next huge goal before you've ever even come up for air after achieving the previous one. I am here to dispel that myth. In fact, that myth makes me crazy. It limits our creativity, stifles our natural talents, and sucks the fun out of life and business.
