Chapters
Hi there, I'm Dr. Ruth Schwartz. I'm the author of the book Conscious Lesbian Dating and Love, and I am so glad you found this page, and I hope you will download the first 4 chapters of this life-changing book. I wanted to tell you how and why I came to write this book. It grew out of my own struggle to have the kind of healthy, happy, lasting love that I deeply wanted. And about 20 years ago, I had 3 devastating breakups in 3 years. Each time I had fallen deeply in love, the other woman also fell in love with me, and I thought that was all it was going to take to lead to our happy ever after. And yet over and over again, I found that our relationships would run into problems and pain and difficulty that would shatter our connection, and I didn't understand what was going on. So after the third breakup in 3 years, I thought, I have got to do something different. My heart can't take it anymore. Maybe you know that feeling. And so I devoted myself to study and learning about everything I could find about relationships in general and lesbian relationships in particular. I'm happy to tell you that I did learn a lot. My relationship life is completely different now, and I want that to be the case for you too. So, and I'll be honest, it was easy for me during those breakups to blame my partners and to feel like, hey, I'm a great communicator, I am emotionally available, the problem must be with them. But the change that I made that really transformed everything was when I got curious about myself and I thought, hey, Even if the problem does lie with them, I'm still the common denominator here because I'm the one who's choosing them. So I realized that to empower myself, I had to be able to learn to do something different. So that's what the book Conscious Lesbian Dating and Love is all about. I hope you will download it below, read the first 4 chapters free, and if The book speaks to you, I would love to see you join us in some Conscious Girlfriend Academy classes. Because once the book was out doing its work in the world and women from over 25 countries had read it, I realized I need to be teaching this on a larger scale. The lesbians of the world need help with our love, and there's not a whole lot of people out there offering that to us. So That's why I founded the Conscious Girlfriend Academy. We've had women from many countries participate. We're compassionate, intelligent, open-hearted, growth-oriented lesbian community. Women do make lifelong friends in the academy, and yes, some women have also found partners. But what we're really about is helping support you and empower you so that you can learn to both find the right partner and be the right partner so that you can have the happy, healthy love you deserve. It all starts with downloading the first 4 chapters of the book Conscious Lesbian Dating and Love absolutely free. Wishing you much happiness. Thanks for listening.
