The Adored Woman- Dating and relationship advice for women

Is It My Intuition, Or My Fear Of Intimacy? How To Tell — with Raj Lehl Holistic nervous system specialist. The nervous system, dating anxiety, and how to tell intuition from fear

Ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same kind of relationship, even when you swore you'd do it differently? Or why your body feels on edge the moment things get closer — even when your head knows better?

In this episode, relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson is joined by holistic nervous system specialist Raj Lehl to explore the real, physical side of love. So much of what we chalk up to bad luck in dating, or "just being anxious," is actually your nervous system trying to protect you — based on things your body hasn't let go of yet.

If your head and heart are saying yes but something in you says absolutely not, this episode is for you.

We cover:

How stored trauma shows up in dating — cancelling dates, scanning for red flags, pulling away when it deepens

Why self-aware women still repeat the patterns they understand cognitively

How to tell the difference between intuition and fear of intimacy

Exercising your right to say no — and walk away — without explaining it to anyone, including yourself

Why we're drawn to the wrong man because his unavailability feels familiar

The airport story: how Raj moved through a big trigger without taking it out on her partner

Congruent communication, and how it creates a sanctuary relationship in moments

Two tools for hard conversations — walking side by side, and staying in physical contact

Why calm is contagious, and how we mirror each other's nervous systems

Knowing yourself as the real meaning of being an adored woman

Raj shares some free resources, including a panic attack recovery guide and a meditation — links below.

Am I in a situationship? If you're unsure then this episode is for you.

You're seeing someone. It's been months — maybe even years. And you still couldn't say what you actually are to each other, because neither of you has ever had the conversation.

Relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson explains what a situationship is, how it differs from a committed relationship, why they've become so normalised, and the six signs to look for. Then, more importantly, what to do next — whether you're in one now or want to guard yourself from drifting into one.

Because a situationship is not a natural stage of the relationship process. And it's costing you time, energy, emotions — and maybe even your baby making years.

Whether you're dating in your 40s, dating after divorce, or stuck in something that's never moved forward, this episode will help you see where you really stand — and give you the words to find out.

What To Do If He Says He Doesn't Love You Anymore Why "I don't love you anymore" isn't always the end — and how to respond with strength

Hearing the words "I don't think I love you anymore" from a long-term partner or spouse can be utterly devastating. But those words don't always mean what you think they mean — and they don't necessarily mean the end of your relationship.

In this episode, relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson offers a different, more emotionally mature way to respond when a partner says they've fallen out of love. One that takes the pressure off, protects your dignity, and gives your partner the space to discover what they're really feeling.

Because sometimes, when someone says they've fallen out of love with you, it’s possible what they've actually fallen out of love with is their own life. They feel lost and low, and they're projecting it onto the person closest to them — you.

Naomie shares the exact words you might use, why giving space works when grabbing on doesn't, and how this painful experience can become a powerful opportunity to grow your inner strength, self-love and self-respect.

****IMPORTANT!: this episode is about fundamentally good, long-term relationships going through a low. If your relationship is abusive, hostile, or unfaithful, the priority is your safety and wellbeing — Respect and kindness from a partner are always non-negotiable as a bare minimum in any relationship.*****

We cover:

Why feelings of love naturally fluctuate in every long-term relationship

What your partner might really be saying when they say they don't love you anymore

How projection works — and why it might not be about you at all

The instinctive reaction most of us have — and why it usually backfires

A template for what to say instead, with strength and grace

Why taking the pressure off gives your relationship the best chance

How to let go of attachment to the outcome while still living fully

Why respect and kindness are the non-negotiable minimum, always

How to grow the kind of inner strength that means you'll be okay no matter what

What To Do When He Pulls Away.How to handle it when a man goes distant in dating — and what his behaviour is really telling you

That sinking feeling when a man who's been coming on strong suddenly goes quiet — it's one of the most destabilising experiences in dating. And the instinct to reach out, to chase, to do something about it is completely natural.

But it's usually making things worse.

In this episode, relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson shares what's really happening when a man pulls away in early dating, the three most common reasons it happens, and what to do instead — including the counterintuitive move that actually works.

Drawing on her own experience of chasing a man who kept disappearing — and the link she eventually traced back to her relationship with her father — Naomie also shares a beautiful client story about a man who went quiet for a whole weekend, and what was really going on. Because there's a world of difference between a man who's processing something and a man who's simply hot and cold.

Whether you're dating after divorce, navigating online dating in your 40s, or trying to break unhealthy relationship patterns — this episode will help you understand what his behaviour is really telling you and how to respond in a way that actually serves you.

Dating in your 40s and wondering if it's really going to happen for you? This episode is your answer.

Relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson sits down with her former client Anne McHale, a Master of Wine and online business owner, who came to coaching in 2018 with one simple goal — to get past date 3.

She'd been stuck in the same cycle for two and a half years. She knew all the theory. She was going on dates. Nothing was working. Then everything changed — and she's now happily married.

This is the honest, practical, hopeful conversation about what it actually takes to break unhealthy relationship patterns and go from stuck to the relationship you always wanted — told by a woman who lived it.

The practical dating system that made two to three dates a week completely manageable

Why setting standards for where and how you meet isn't entitled — it's essential

If you've ever felt confused about why a man goes quiet, pulls back, or seems to disconnect after a conversation — this episode will finally give you the answer.

Relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson breaks down one of the most transformative skills in dating and relationships: feminine communication.

This isn't surface-level dating advice. This is the deep, permanent shift that changes how men respond to you — in dating, and in relationships.

Drawing on her own experience of moving from armoured, masculine-energy communication to the vulnerability that transformed her relationships, Naomie explains exactly why the way most women communicate is unintentionally pushing men away — and precisely what to do instead.

Whether you're dating in your 40s, trying to create deeper emotional intimacy with a partner, or simply tired of feeling unheard and disconnected in your relationships, this episode gives you a simple, practical tool you can start using today.

We cover:

Why masculine energy communication kills emotional intimacy — even when it comes from love

The difference between emotions and drama — and why men respond so differently to each

How emotionally unavailable patterns show up in the way we communicate

Why advising, blaming and criticising creates a cycle of withdrawal and resentment

How feminine communication builds the kind of emotional connection that inspires a man to pursue, cherish and commit

The three-step tool — find it, name it, speak it — for women ready to break unhealthy relationship patterns and attract healthy relationships built on real intimacy

Why speaking without strategy is the secret to making this work

This episode originally aired on Tamra's podcast:🎙️ Straight From the Source's Mouth — frank talk about sex and dating

Before you can attract a good man who truly adores you, there is one relationship that needs to come first. The one you have with yourself.

In this episode, relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson opens with a story that will stop you in your tracks — a woman on a date who, in her darkest moment, becomes her own worst enemy. And the question that follows: would you ever let a friend speak to you that way?

This episode is for every woman who has ever been unkind to herself in the privacy of her own mind. Who has been dating in her 40s wondering why she keeps attracting the same kind of man. Who finds emotionally unavailable men magnetic and consistently available men somehow boring. Who has settled gradually and quietly because somewhere deep down she didn't believe she deserved the full thing.

These are not dating problems. They are self worth problems. And the good news is — self worth can be rebuilt. This episode shows you how.

Whether you're dating after divorce, trying to break unhealthy relationship patterns, or simply ready to stop the cycle and start attracting healthy relationships, this episode will give you real, practical tools to shift the most important relationship in your love life — the one with yourself.

We cover:

Why your self worth and relationships are more connected than you think

How the inner voice you've normalised is showing up in the men you attract — with real life examples

Why emotionally unavailable men feel like home — and how to change that

How loving the difficult, messy parts of yourself is the most magnetic thing you can do

Two simple daily practices any woman can start today to rebuild self worth from the inside out

Hearing His No Signs he's not right for you — and what happens when you finally stop ignoring them

Do you keep attracting emotionally unavailable men? Find yourself ignoring red flags because you don't want to face the truth? This episode is for you.

In this episode, relationship coach Naomie Thompson explores one of the most overlooked skills in dating and relationships — hearing his no. Not just the word, but all the ways a man signals he's not right for you through his actions, his avoidance, and the things he tells you without ever saying them out loud.

Drawing on her own experience of recovering after an affair and rebuilding her love life from the ground up, Naomie shares what it really means to stop fighting what's in front of you — and what becomes possible when you do.

Whether you're dating in your 40s, navigating a difficult relationship, or trying to break unhealthy relationship patterns once and for all, this episode will help you get honest about what you've been ignoring — and reconnect with what you actually desire.

We cover:

The many ways a man says no without using the word — and why we miss it

Why trying to convince him is actually pushing him further away

What it means when he says yes with his mouth and no with his actions

How hearing his no leads you straight to your own standards and self worth

The question every woman needs to ask: what have I been ignoring?

If you’re an accomplished woman who’s tired of “doing dating right” and still ending up with hot-and-cold men, this conversation will land in the best way.

Coach Naomie Thompson sits down with Taylor Carr to talk about what actually changes a woman’s love life: not more strategy, not more perfection — but safety, softness, and real emotional presence.

Together, they explore:

Why high-performing women burn out in dating (and the myth of “work hard = get love”)

What feminine energy really looks like in real life

Why vulnerability isn’t danger — it’s your biggest strength (and how to start in small steps)

The difference between chemistry that’s addictive and compatibility that’s calm — and why calm can become the hottest thing

How to date after divorce without the hope/disappointment rollercoaster

Listen to Taylor Carr on the Modern Muse Diaries

Have you ever felt that deep, aching grief after a relationship ended — not just because you miss him, but because you were already living into a future with him?

In this episode, I’m talking about the grief we don’t name often enough: mourning the relationship that didn’t get to happen… the vision, the plans, the version of life you could see so clearly — and then it was gone.

I share a personal story from visiting my dad’s grave (he died when he was 38 and I was 16), and how even decades later, what can still sting isn’t only the loss — it’s the incompleteness… the moments we never got to have, the relationship we never grew into.

And then I bring it back to you and your love life:

Why so much heartbreak is really grief for the future you were living into

How to let yourself grieve without making it mean you’ll “never be okay”

A powerful dating shift: keep the vision… but blur the man’s face

How to stay devoted to what you want without attaching to one specific person

The reminder your heart needs: the relationship is the prize, not the man

Normalising the full human range of feelings — sadness, anger, jealousy, regret, guilt, shame — without judging yourself

If you’re healing from a breakup, moving on from a marriage, or dating while still carrying tenderness from what didn’t work out… this one will meet you softly and truthfully.

And if you need someone to remind you: you can grieve and still be moving toward the love you want.

Today on The Adored Woman, I’m joined by Dr. John Gray — author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus — for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about why men and women so often miss each other… and how to come back into closeness without losing yourself.

We revisit the classic Mars/Venus principles (like why men “go to their cave” and why women feel better when they can talk things through), and then we take it deeper into the biology behind it all — hormones, stress, connection, and what makes a woman feel safe.

In this episode, we explore:

Why saying, “we need to talk about the relationship” can spike a man into stress and shutdown

The difference between complaining and making a clean, feminine request

Why over-giving can quietly flip the polarity and create a mother/son dynamic

What successful, capable women need now to stay soft, open, and connected

How to share feelings without blame so he can actually hear you

Dr. Gray’s simple daily tool to help you feel adored (and bring romance back fast)

If you’re an accomplished woman who’s tired of feeling like the responsible one — managing, over-functioning, or doing relationships “the hard way” — this conversation will bring you back to what actually works to finally feel adored in the best relationship of your life.

We've been trained by media, movies and magazines that there are paths to getting his love, devotion and attention.

But what we want is so much more than surface level or transient attraction and connection.

In today’s episode of The Adored Woman Podcast, I’m sharing the three ways women often try to create love that feel logical… but don’t actually lead to the “adore you forever” kind of relationship.

They’re not bad things. In fact, they can be beautiful parts of a relationship.
But they’re not the thing that makes a solid, emotionally mature man bond, commit, and stay devoted.

If you’re an accomplished woman, you may have been subtly trained to believe that love is something you earn — through effort, performance, being “easy going” being impressive, cool or getting everything just right.

And yet… you can do all of that and still feel unseen.

In this episode, I’ll show you:

The three common routes that quietly keep women stuck

Why they don’t create the deep safety and devotion you actually want

The one element that becomes the glue for lasting love — and how to start

Because the man you want isn’t choosing based on your résumé.
He’s responding to the felt experience of being with you.

If you’ve ever thought, “But I have so much to offer — why isn’t love working?”
This episode will bring you right back to what matters.

Naomie Thompson Dating and Relationship Coach

If you’re the doer, the thinker, the organiser, the one holding everything together in your relationships… this episode is for you.

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with my mentor of over 10 years, Rori Raye, to unpack what “masculine energy” really means for women — and how living from our heads instead of our bodies quietly blocks the love, cherishing and intimacy we crave.

We talk about:

What masculine energy actually is (and why most accomplished women live there by default)

How control shows up in subtle, socially acceptable ways

The hidden exhaustion of trying to manage men and outcomes

Why we keep attracting emotionally unavailable men

The difference between outer strength (armour) and inner strength (soft power)

How to drop from head to body in seconds

Why complaints push men away — and what to do instead

The real work of discovering what you actually want

How feminine energy creates connection instantly

Rori Raye shares the framework behind her “feminine state of being” work and explains how control isn’t about being bossy — it’s about survival, codependence, and trying to read the room to stay safe. And we explore how shifting from “don’t want” and complaint… into clear, embodied desire changes everything.

If you’ve ever:

Tried to fix or improve a man

Felt angry that he “should just know”

Found yourself attracted to shut-down or unavailable partners

Felt exhausted by carrying the emotional weight of the relationship

…you’ll recognise yourself here.

This episode is an invitation to stop managing and start feeling. To move from armour to aliveness.

And most importantly — to create a relationship that feels like a sanctuary.

I want to open your mind to the benefits of dating older men.

When we've spent our lives getting into, and out of, the wrong relationships; it's time to consider widening our options without compromising values and desires.

In this episode, I’m sharing seven reasons why dating an older man can be a beautiful choice — especially if you’re craving a relationship that feels steady, cherishing, and emotionally mature.

We’ll talk about why many older men are looking for emotional connection and joy, why it’s often youthful energy they’re drawn to (not “younger women”), and what can feel deeply supportive about dating a man who’s already done the building years of life.

You’ll also hear:

Why older men can be more stable, established, and clear about what they want

How they may appreciate femininity and warm communication even more

The key difference between being needed vs being mothered (and when to run a mile)

Why many older men are less likely to play games and more likely to lead with intention

In this special episode of The Adored Woman, I’m interviewed by Pearl Mashour about the real reasons successful, capable women struggle in love — and what actually changes everything.

We talk about the patterns so many women recognise: over-giving, advising, fixing, chasing… and then feeling frustrated, turned off, or unseen. I explain why that happens, and how shifting out of the old patterns and into emotional connection transforms attraction.

Inside this conversation, we explore:

The “ABCs” that quietly kill attraction: advising, blaming, criticising

Why women unconsciously choose emotionally unavailable partners

How fear of intimacy hides behind “no chemistry” or “he’s too nice”

The difference between making a man the prize vs making the relationship the prize

What self-love actually means (and why you can be loved but struggle to receive it)

Why vulnerability increases attraction instead of weakening you

The surprising truth about chemistry vs compatibility

Rebuilding trust after betrayal or divorce

How polarity and feminine energy restore connection and desire

We also talk about sex, emotional safety, appreciation in long-term relationships, and why so many women feel they’ve “failed” at love — when really they’ve just never been taught how it works.

This episode is your reminder:
You don’t need to become someone else to be loved.
You don’t need to chase love harder.
And you absolutely have not missed your chance.

You cannot fail at love — you either stop, or you keep going.

If you’re ready to understand yourself more deeply, and finally experience being truly adored… this conversation will inspire you I promise!

You don't have to be born with it:

The ability to discern the right partner for you, the effortless ability to attract him and receive his love.... all with an open heart.... this feels so far away for so many of us.

What if the reason love has felt hard isn’t because there’s something wrong with you… but because you’ve been using the old rules?

In this episode Naomie shares 3 Aspect Of The Adored Woman, these are traits, habits and perspectives that you can learn even if you've spent a lifetime doing the opposite and attracting the wrong relationships.

You’ll hear why so many accomplished women accidentally make a man “the prize”… and how the Adored Woman flips that completely.

Inside, we’ll cover:

Secret #1: The relationship you want is the prize — not the man (and how this stops early attachment and “auditioning” energy)

Secret #2: Feminine energy + receiving — how to stop the hunter mode, soften, and let a man fall in love through giving

Secret #3 (my favourite): You don’t wait for a relationship to feel adored — you become an adored woman now by how you speak to yourself and the evidence you collect that you are already loved

If you’ve ever felt like you had to work hard for love, this episode is your reset.
