The Secret to a 10 out of 10 Relationship with Mayan Tran and Angus Scott

Ep. 116
•

What does it take to build a relationship that feels like a 10 out of 10? In this episode, love coaches Angus and Mayan to explore what makes relationships thrive. They share their own experiences of transformation after divorce and how they found love again. They also break down the key elements of a successful relationship, from communication to values to working together as a couple.

Mayan and Angus discuss how they realized their missions aligned and why they decided to build a business together. They share the challenges of balancing work and love, the importance of defining roles, and how shifting between masculine and feminine energy impacts relationships. They also dive deep into effective communication—what works, what doesn’t, and how small changes can make a big difference. Plus, they explain their "10 out of 10 relationship" concept and how couples can use it to keep their connection strong.

While they use multiple modalities such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, Mental and Emotional Release, and have expertise in Dr. Gottman's relationship research, Masculine/Feminine Dynamics and Attachment Styles, they start their work as experts in finding the Energetic Leaks that most people are unaware of, tainting each of their relationships. Their clients walk away being energetically cleared, having let go of their past traumatic experiences and limiting beliefs about love, with a clear vision of what they want in a relationship, and the confidence to attract healthy, fulfilling relationships with partners who have the qualities they are looking for, and the support to build an Epic Love.

  • 177. The Difference Between Surviving and Living with Rachelle Luv Raku

    51:23||Ep. 177
    Living a full life on the outside while feeling absolutely nothing on the inside isn't strength. It's survival. And there's a difference.Rachelle Luv Raku knew that difference intimately. Successful podiatrist. Mother of five. Holding everything together. And feeling none of it. Her wake-up call wasn't a breakdown, it was scrolling through her own photos and having zero memory of the joy she was looking at.In this episode, I talk with Rachelle about what it really takes to stop surviving and start actually living. We get into the nervous system, desire, pleasure, and why safety isn't something you find out there. It's something you build within.If you've ever numbed out just to keep going, felt guilty for wanting more, or wondered who you even are underneath all the roles you play — this one is for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Why numbing out the pain also means numbing out the joyThe shift that changes everything: you're not broken, you just don't have the skill yetWhy desire feels dangerous and the generations of conditioning behind thatHow to find safety within yourself instead of searching for it externallyWhy getting what you want can feel just as threatening as losing itChoregasms — how to bring pleasure and presence into everyday life, not just the big momentsConnect with Rachelle onInstagram | www.instagram.com/rachelleluvrakuFacebook | www.facebook.com/rachelle.luv.rakuWant to learn more about Rachelle’s work?

  • How to Step Into the Woman You're Already Supposed to Be

    25:36|
    Your life looks great on paper. But something's missing and no amount of achievement is filling the gap. The problem isn't what you're doing. It's who you're being.This week I'm taking you inside my five-day identity workshop, the same work I do with single professional women over 40 who are accomplished, capable, and quietly unfulfilled. I walk you through the full framework we used over those five days, the patterns I see over and over again that keep high-achieving women stuck, and why the next version of you isn't waiting on a big decision. She's waiting on a small one.If you've ever felt like you're living someone else's life or a version of yours that no longer fits, this episode is for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Why your story — not something broken inside you — is what's keeping you stuck"Good girl syndrome" and the behaviors that quietly drain your power: perfectionism, people-pleasing, staying silentWhy desire can feel dangerous, and how to give yourself permission to want more without guiltWorthiness as your baseline and how early programming convinced you otherwiseHow to start stepping into your future self through small, compounding actions Why fear and excitement feel identical in the body and how to use that to your advantageBEST MOMENTS:"Nobody stays up at night thinking, 'I need a new identity.' But in fact, it's what's keeping you where you are.""You don't become yourself by yourself.""Fear and excitement are two sides of the same coin — they feel the same in the body. The difference is how you look at it."Connect with SophiaWebsite |  www.thereikihealingcoach.com Instagram | @sophia_i_got_igInstagram | @createlifeyourwayFacebook | www.facebook.com/sophia.e.754LinkedIn | Sophia Elcock

She walked out of a 14-year career in higher education on a Friday and was her own boss by Monday with no email list, no website, no clients. What she built from that point, leading over 350 solo travelers across eight countries, came down to one thing: she didn't stop.If you've ever wondered whether the leap is worth it, felt the gap between the life you're living and the one you're curious about, or wanted to travel somewhere "scary" but talked yourself out of it this conversation is for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:What nobody tells you before you quit your job to start a businessHow Laura got her first clientsWhy unknown doesn't mean dangerous and the real reason we fear certain destinationsWhat it takes to build a following when you hate being on cameraHow she curates trips that make travelers feel like insiders, not outsidersThe truth about "ethical" animal tourism Connect with Laura onInstagram | www.instagram.com/lolawhiskeyFacebook | www.facebook.com/thelauraericsonTikTok | www.tiktok.com/@thelauraericsonLinkedIn | www.linkedin.com/in/thelauraericsonWant to learn more about Laura’s work?

  • 169. The Voice That’s “Protecting” You Is Actually Sabotaging You. Why Fear Keeps You Stuck.

    23:03||Ep. 169
    Have you ever felt afraid to do something… but knew you needed to do it anyway?In this episode, I’m sharing a few real experiences from my own life that all come back to one thing. Mindset.From going live on Facebook for the first time, to skydiving, to even just getting out of the house on a cold day. Each of these moments required courage, a shift in thinking, and a willingness to do the uncomfortable thing.I talk about what it feels like to face fear head-on. And how the first time is always the hardest. But once you do it, it gets easier. You build confidence. You start to trust yourself.I also share something we don’t talk about enough. The voice in your head.The loud voice that tells you:“You’re not good enough.”“You don’t know enough.”“Stay where it’s safe.”And the quieter voice that’s trying to guide you forward.How often are we listening to the wrong one?This episode is an invitation to start noticing those voices. To question where they came from. And to ask yourself if they’re actually true. Because sometimes, the very thing that feels like it’s protecting you… is actually holding you back.I also talk about what it means to pivot when things don’t go according to plan. Whether it’s a disrupted schedule or a delayed flight, you always have a choice in how you respond.At the end of the day, you can’t control everything. But you can control how you show up.If there’s something you’ve been afraid to do… maybe this is your sign to try it. Even if it’s just dipping your pinky toe in.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Facing fear and doing the uncomfortable thingOvercoming perfectionism and fear of judgmentWhy confidence comes after taking actionThe “loud” vs. “quiet” voice in your headHow limiting beliefs are formed and reinforcedReframing fear and excitementPivoting when things don’t go as plannedChoosing your response when things are out of your controlBEST MOMENTS:"When you finally do the thing that scares you the first time, each subsequent time becomes easier.""How often is the voice that is trying to protect us really sabotaging our progress?""You came into this world good enough."CONTACT THE HOSTWebsite |  www.thereikihealingcoach.com Instagram | @sophia_i_got_igInstagram | @createlifeyourwayFacebook | www.facebook.com/sophia.e.754LinkedIn | Sophia Elcock
