38. Sunday Brunch Ep. 3 - Come Home to Yourself: On Self-Abandonment & Healing. Guest: Danica LeBlanc

You can be confident, capable, and still completely lost to yourself — and not even know it.  In this episode of The Champagne Empress Podcast, Georgette Casimir sits down with licensed clinician and trauma-informed coach Danica LeBlanc for a Sunday Brunch conversation about self-abandonment, the courage it takes to come home to yourself, and what it really means to take up space in your own life.  You'll walk away knowing:  * What self-abandonment actually looks like — and why high-functioning women are the most likely to miss it * How to tell the difference between fear that protects you and fear that keeps you small * Why healing doesn't happen in isolation — and how community changes everything This episode is for you if you have it all together on the outside but feel quietly disconnected on the inside — like you've been bending, adjusting, and shrinking for so long you've forgotten who you actually are.    📍 Connect with Danica: www.lenoirewellness.com  🔗 Ready to go deeper?

36. The Secret Nobody Tells You About Attracting Real Love

You've been doing everything right. You're magnetic, successful, and beautiful. So why does real love keep passing you by? In this episode of The Champagne Empress Podcast, Georgette Casimir gets vulnerable — and we mean really vulnerable. She shares a personal story about a connection she called Mr. T, and the moment she realized that the walls she had built weren't protecting her. They were blocking her. You'll walk away knowing: * Why your independence might actually be keeping love out * What feminine vulnerability really looks like in everyday life * Why a man cannot love what he cannot reach * How to lower your drawbridge without lowering your standards * What it actually means to be magnetic from the inside out This episode is for you if love keeps almost happening — but never fully landing. Because the love you're calling in isn't coming for your highlight reel. He's coming for the real you. 🔗 Ready to go deeper?

34. Values, Standards & Preferences -You've Been Confusing Them Your Whole Life

The Champagne Empress Podcast | Episode 34 You've been saying the word "standards" — but do you actually know what your standards are? And more importantly, do you know the difference between a standard, a value, and a preference? In this episode, we are doing a full clarity reset. Because the confusion between these three things is quietly keeping you in the wrong relationships, attracting the wrong people, and leaving you wondering why love keeps missing you. Georgette breaks down all three — with her own personal values as the example — and calls out the real reason so many women keep ending up disappointed: they are entering every relationship leading with their preferences and calling it standards. In this episode: * The clear, simple definition of values, standards, and preferences — and why they are not the same thing * How Georgette's values of Freedom, Family, and Adventure show up as real standards in dating * Why leading with your preference list is keeping you stuck * The three questions to ask yourself to get completely clear on what you actually have vs. what you just wish for * The difference between what he looks like on paper and who he actually is The bottom line: The Empress doesn't lead with a checklist. She leads with her values, moves with her standards, and allows her preferences to be the beautiful bonus they were always meant to be. 🎧 Listen, subscribe, and leave a review — it helps more Empresses find their way here. 📲 Follow on Instagram: @thechampagneempress | @georgettecasimir  Get to know your host:  📍 Connect with Georgette:  Instagram: @TheChampagneEmpress  Website: www.TheChampagneEmpress.com [http://www.thechampagneempress.com/]  All links: HERE [https://linktr.ee/GeorgetteCasimir] Book your Dating Like an Empress session: https://champagneempress.hbportal.co/.../Datinglikeanempress [https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fchampagneempress.hbportal.co%2Fpublic%2FDatinglikeanempress%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1tNjqXYCYP-Ws7nJ8CKoqJnta6BUv8O3H1qyTakid3MpPL_N2a8KUFDIs_aem_sDb5sKF3Gp9rIbHjUNUcKg&h=AT3UA3BivHkWPJIzu-VNLgDbeVEN1-EU9kTCvXDAjsGTPky1Qm_lOuuFn7E7BZyiNgO8w38U6qVpm9AREO4c4JSPDLrW7SWH5-LVu-BypWbsjT-Jz4FlXfcLl89vA8ECugZLG7Vg22cBH7Ezog&__tn__=R]-R&c[0]=AT3kZ4Oxesw_WC7pAetJOcGpFqK-4R0NDxAuVnNmVBzLEHlmJysIdoS5PZLL4heXnMACskus9D_NAYdDFKuTyt_BQ8vrmk_8VLTP8YVnoaFQh6LVBgF9ylf6nUrgriwytf5thucX2QxyqvPtotStfRjU10Dvi2SdbQ01lMWhHfpwiZacKa4tL7aDmSLSb8zVIlgD3nMoRvTNXQksxy4Mp-Nop0r4pA] Join the FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1599980677674216
