The balance between support and accountability: real talk with my wife about tough love 💑

In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kirsten and I are diving deep into one of the most important aspects of any relationship - knowing when to support your partner and when to call them out. From my straggly beard phase to the conversation that sparked a major change, we're sharing how to have those difficult but necessary conversations that lead to growth.

Because here's the truth: most relationships fail because people aren't willing to say what's really on their mind. Whether it's friendships or romantic partnerships, learning to balance unconditional support with honest accountability is the key to helping each other level up.

Top Quotes:

"As a partner, I think we have a responsibility on two aspects... I'm here for you, you're my support system. And also, when you're letting yourself go and not showing up as your very best, I think it's my responsibility to be like 'hey, what the fuck is going on here?'" (2:43)

"Something that Brian and I do that really helps with our communication is this one small question: 'Do you want advice right now or do you want me to just listen?'" (18:21)

"Most relationships struggle because most partners aren't willing to say what the fuck is on their mind to the other person... instead of having that hard conversation, they'll just bitch to other friends about that friend." (2:17) ___
