I hit the gym hard these past few days which I needed considering I am surrounded by SO MANY COOKIES AND CAKES. Holiday cookies at work, a baby shower, etc. = so many treats.
When Sex and the City was actually on HBO, I was actually in middle school. In college, my roommates and I would watch all the episodes, a tradition that continued through grad school in Boston and back to NYC.
What does this all have to do with right now?
Uplift Studios hosted another Workout & Wine event last Wednesday. I was hesitant to sign up because of the theme of “happily ever after.” They invited Kristina Griggs, a relationship coach.
From their email:
After our signature 45-minute cardio and strength workout, join Kristina Griggs for a workshop (with wine of course!) on learning how to fill your heart with love. Kristina will share insights on how to develop a better relationship with yourself and align internally so love finds you.
Kristina Griggs is a Personal Development and Relationship Coach. She guides women towards fulfilling relationships and helps them heal heartache. Her mission is to help you evolve beyond your past, face your present challenges with clarity and live the most fulfilling life possible whether you are single or in a relationship.
Eventually I signed up last minute – why? Remember that SATC episode where Charlotte was seeing a relationship expert who held group talks and she gets yelled at in front of a group of women? Well I JUST HAD to see what this was all about.
After a crazy good strength class with Tara, we all grabbed some wine and food and sat down for a chat. Although most of Kristina’s work does involve hypnosis, this was interesting and it made sense – loving yourself first.
Other lessons I learned: letting go of resentment. I like that a lot of women were open to sharing about themselves – one going through divorce, another a separation, two brides to be, then me in a relationship. I’m not sure that I learned that much from the speaker herself, it was just interesting to hear from women and their relationships.
Not sure about the rest of you, but I find that as we get older we just stopped talking about it – maybe out of respect for our significant others or just out of fear of judgement or both.
Has anyone else ever been to a relationship coach before? Would you ever go?
I am just unclear i found that very much through the phone speaker very little, it turned out only exciting to listen for via girls along with his or her human relationships.
