In this episode of The Mindful With Media Podcast, I’m joined by relationship coach Sara Payne for a deep and meaningful conversation about what it takes to build strong, healthy, connected relationships—not just with your partner, but with yourself, your kids, and everyone in your life.

Sara walks us through the five pillars of a rock-solid relationship and shows how each one can shift the way we experience daily challenges—from resentment and scorekeeping to gratitude and stillness. Whether you're married to someone with a demanding job, navigating motherhood, or figuring out how to pursue your dreams without guilt, this episode is for you.

This one is full of "aha!" moments and personal stories we think every woman (especially entrepreneurs and moms) will relate to.

What We Cover:

• Why resentment is actually a good thing
• How to stop keeping score in your marriage and start solving problems as a team
• The surprising impact of seeing your partner (and yourself!) as your highest self
• Gratitude practices that feel real—not forced or guilt-driven
• Why stillness matters (even if you only find 5 minutes for it)
• What to do when your partner isn’t willing to work on your marriage
