Welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast where it's all about fixing your relationship without your man's conscious effort so that you feel desired and taken care of and special even if your relationship feels completely hopeless.

I'm Laura Doyle and this is the how to be

feminine and be ten times more attractive episode. Today I'm revealing what your

that happen. Then I'll be giving out the award for the worst relationship

and it just backfires like crazy.
