EP 719: Riana Malia – Why Successful Women Over 40 Struggle to Find Love (And How to Change It)
Highlights of this episode:
Guest background & catalyst for the work she does
- Riana Malia shared her personal story: early marriage and divorce, single parenting, relocation to California, financial betrayal tied to her father’s business, and later an abusive relationship.
- Those cumulative experiences led her to seek a different approach to relationships and identity work.
- She reframed her mission as helping high-achieving women clear unconscious patterns so they can create and claim fulfilling romantic partnerships.
- Emphasis: insight alone isn’t enough — replace unconscious neurology and behaviors to stop repeating patterns.
Clear to Create method & practical techniques
- Framework: Clear → Create → Claim; clear limiting stories and emotional charge first, then build new identity and behaviors.
- Key concepts:
- Most thought activity is unconscious (~90%); repeated negative thoughts reinforce unwanted outcomes.
- Emotional “charge” accumulates over time (cellular memory); releasing it creates space for new outcomes.
- Frequency/state matters: higher-frequency emotions (gratitude, love) attract different experiences than low-frequency emotions (shame, fear).
- Away/Toward exercise (72-hour rewiring):
- Use two sheets titled “Away” (what you don’t want) and “Toward” (what you want). Photograph/store lists for quick access.
- Wear a firm rubber band for 72 hours. Snap it when you notice a negative/unhelpful thought, record the thought, then immediately replace it with a positive/desired feeling or a specific “toward” item.
- If needed, use rapid grounding: 30–60 seconds visualizing sensory detail of the desired outcome, or a quick act of service to raise frequency.
- Repetition rewires neural pathways; the exercise is designed to create fast shifts in 72 hours.
- Quantum Time Release / charge release:
- Technique to clear accumulated emotional charge without re-litigating past trauma; creates less reactivity to triggers so old stories don’t re-drive behavior.
Resources, outcomes & final advice
- Riana reports rapid transformations in clients, including her own marriage after doing the work.
- Diagnostic tool: Extraordinary Love Index (E.L.I.) quiz.rianamalia.com— 40-question assessment with a detailed ~25-page report identifying blocks across 9 areas (attachment, trauma, recognition, etc.).
- Final guidance: You are not too late or too much; clear underlying patterns and replace them with new neurology/strategies rather than relying on more insight alone.
