  • Season 3, Bonus Episode - Mastering Communication for Healthier Relationships with Amira Mansour

    How can you learn to communicate better in your relationships?

    In this episode of the 'How to Love Successfully' podcast, host Dr. Mari Kovanen speaks to Communication Expert, Amira Mansour.

    Together, they delve into the importance of effective and conscious communication in shaping successful relationships.

    Amira discusses her journey from experiencing a long, unhealthy relationship and a challenging corporate career to mastering the art of communication, both personally and professionally. She shares actionable tips on identifying authentic communication styles, developing self-awareness, and handling conflicts.

    She suggests focusing on one relationship at a time to improve communication skills gradually. Tune in to learn more about taking control of personal and professional conversations and creating more fulfilling relationships.

    Amira’s bio:

    Amira aka The Communication Expert works with

    companies and individuals to help them communicate

    with themselves. This in turn enables them to get the

    best out of their relationships. She’s a believer that

    communication is the essence of understanding who you

    are and creating relationships where you feel heard and

    understood makes you feel happier on a deeper internal

    level.

    Communicating is something we’re all doing all the

    time, whether we realise it or not. However, it’s not

    always something we’ve learnt how to do well.

    Through a combination of 12 years in the corporate

    world, working with a diverse range of people and her

    own experiences, she’ll help you learn to understand the

    power of your internal dialogue, how this impacts your

    work, friendships, relationships and support you to get

    the promotion you want, the career you’re dreaming of,

    be the business leader you desire, the partner you’ve visualised, to live life on your terms honouring who you were always meant to be.

    Whether it’s through her monthly masterclasses, podcast

    or 1:1 coaching program, Amira will help you understand

    your values, your motivations and your shadow self to

    not only be able to stop overthinking what you, but to say

    what you mean and communicate as your authentic self.

    She’ll guide to be able to resolve the conflict in your life,

    assert your boundaries and master the hard

    conversations so you get out of the negative spiral of self

    talk and communicate with confidence and ease in every

    area of your life!

  • Season 3, Episode 9 -Overcoming your dating anxiety

    In this episode of 'How to Love Successfully', host Dr. Mari Kovanen, a registered psychologist and conscious dating coach, discusses how to tackle dating anxiety faced by many women.

    Dr. Mari talks about the typical signs of dating anxiety, its impact on life and relationships, and the importance of dealing with it.

    With the help of various therapeutic tools, she suggests self-love practices as a starting point, focusing on feeling good about oneself, understanding feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, practicing mindfulness, and cultivating self-compassion. Dr. Mari also emphasizes building a healthy self-esteem that is not tied to external factors.

    She also talks about how reprocessing key negative experiences that are directly linked to dating related situations can be reprocessed through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).

    It is a psychological tool Dr Mari is trained in and it is borrowed from trauma therapy and can significantly help in reducing dating anxiety. This way you can be more open to letting love and find the right relationship for you.

  • Season 3, Episode 7 - Surviving the Holidays as a Single Woman: Strategies for Staying True to Yourself

    In this episode, Dr. Mari Kovanen, a registered psychologist and a conscious dating coach, discusses how single women can navigate the holiday season, which often brings heightened awareness of being single. She suggests strategies like volunteering, maintaining a busy social calendar, and practicing self-love to mitigate loneliness or discomfort.

    Dr. Kovanen emphasizes that not having found one's 'person' yet doesn't make anyone less valuable even if the social message may give this impression and urges listeners to stay true to themselves.

  • Season 3, Episode 6 - "Building healthy self-esteem practices for successful dating and relationships

    This week host Dr. Mari Kovanen, a registered psychologist and conscious dating coach, discusses the importance of healthy self-esteem in creating successful relationships. The episode delves into healthy self-esteem, and its meaning, and defines the 'One Down' and 'One Up' positions (a theory by Terry Real), which are both connected to low self-esteem. She explores ways to build a healthy sense of self-worth through self-connection strategies like meditation and journaling, and the practice of self-compassion. The podcast underscores the idea that showing kindness and compassion towards oneself is fundamental in building successful relationships and attracting the right person in one's life.

  • Season 3, Episode 2 - "Are men scared of strong women?"

    Welcome to "How to Love Successfully," a podcast designed for accomplished female leaders ready to enrich their love lives, mirroring their professional success. I'm your host, Dr. Mari Kovanen, a seasoned psychologist and conscious dating coach. With 15 years of experience, I've helped individuals and couples navigate their relationships.

    In this podcast episode, Dr Mari delves into the question, "Are men scared of strong women?" Dr Mari begins by addressing the concept of being a strong female leader and how this might affect dating experiences. The episode explores the idea of "strong women" as individuals who are career-focused, outspoken, and goal-oriented, often embodying a classic Type A personality. Dr Mari draws from her 15 years of clinical work and experience in therapy to shed light on the dynamics and energies that come into play in dating.

    The episode emphasizes the importance of emotional safety and highlights that both men and women seek comfort and cues for safety during dates. It discusses the interplay of energies in relationships, such as the balance between the doer/provider/leader energy and the being/receiver/intuitive energy. Dr Mari emphasizes that a mismatch in these energies can lead to competition rather than a harmonious connection. The episode concludes by underlining the significance of healthy self-esteem and self-compassion in dating, encouraging strong women to shift gears from their work mode to a more relaxed and open mindset when dating.

    Welcome to "How to Love Successfully" with Dr. Mari Kovanen, a podcast designed for high-achieving women seeking committed, long-term relationships. In this episode, Dr. Mari dives into the crucial role of mindset in dating. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and challenging limiting beliefs that can hinder your dating journey.

    Dr. Mari discusses three common stories that women often tell themselves when it comes to dating. First, the belief that there are no good men out there can be a significant obstacle. She highlights the difference between a closed mindset, where you accept limiting beliefs, and a growth mindset, which encourages exploration and learning in dating.

    The second story revolves around the idea that you need to change something about yourself, such as your appearance, to find love. Dr. Mari reminds listeners that they are worthy of love just as they are and offers insights into building self-confidence.

    Finally, she addresses the misconception that you need to take control and exert immense effort in dating. Dr. Mari encourages a more relaxed approach, allowing space for meaningful connections to develop naturally.

    Listeners are invited to reflect on their own dating beliefs and are encouraged to attend Dr. Mari's upcoming masterclass on 27th of September at 1pm BST / 8am EST to learn more about cultivating the right mindset for successful dating. The key takeaway is that by giving yourself love and nurturing a positive mindset, you can attract the love you desire.

  • Season 2, Episode 6 - "Is strong woman energy hindering your love life?"

    In this episode of How to love successfully, Dr Mari Kovanen, a registered psychologist & conscious dating & relationship coach, we're diving into the world of "strong woman energy" and how it's messing with our love lives. Dr Kovanen spills the beans on how being a go-getter can mess up our connection game. Drawing from her own Finnish upbringing with a hard working grandma, she talks about the hustle culture and how it's taking a toll on our well-being and relationships.

    The episode breaks down the myth that all those career wins will validate us and be enough in life. Dr Kovanen highlights reality – that job role won't cuddle you when you're feeling down. She gets real about dating too, how the fear of vulnerability can keep us swiping left on potentially great matches. But she's all about finding that balance, embracing the slower side of life, and creating space for genuine connections.

    Whether you're a powerhouse or just looking to navigate the modern dating scene, this episode's got you covered. Dr Kovanen delivers insights on making space for vulnerability, appreciating the ebb and flow of life, and inviting harmony into our relationships. So, if you're hustling like there's no tomorrow, it might be time to slow down, tune in, and let some of that strong woman energy take a back seat – just for a moment.

    Time stamps:

    [01:57] Growing up in Finland with a strong woman role model.

    [05:56] The challenges of hustling and being overstimulated in modern times.

    [10:20] The struggle of balancing strong woman energy and nurturing relationships.

    Ready to take charge of your love life and finally find the relationship you deserve?

    If you are interested in working with me, fill in an application for the 1:1 coaching process.

    It takes you through the 4-step process, Empowered Love Blueprint.

    Go from a frustrated and confused dater to feeling confident, empowered to set standards and set boundaries, and having clarity on the type of guy would be a good fit and how to recognise him. Dating is a skill and you will learn how to communicate what you want and need from day 1 of meeting someone.

    Apply for a complimentary 30min consultation to talk about your dating situation and gain clarity on what is not working for you and how to change that.
