In this episode of Caitlin's Couch, Caitlin is joined by Suzanne Shepard, a pilates instructor with a passion for inspiring women to strengthen their connection with their partner and become less defensive overall. 

Suzanne has been married to her wife for upwards of seven years and has perfected the art of taking responsibility for her defensiveness and how damaging it can be and how to have better fights.  

She shares how she went from feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable from defensiveness in her relationship to a state of relief, realizing that her partner is on her side.

• How to strengthen your connection in your relationship
• How to become less defensive overall
• What defensiveness in your relationship looks like

• “I wouldn't say that realizing it has cured me, but i would like to think that realizing it has given me some tools to break that cycle.” 

• “It finally clicked for me when I tried something else”

• “I felt tremendous relief when I stopped defending myself.”

• “It feels really good not to need to be right.”

• “I was too busy mounting my defense to really hear her.”

In this solo episode of Caitlin's Couch, I am talking all about connection. Connection means to feel seen, to feel belonging, to feel safe, to feel understood, to feel accepted. This is so important in your relationship with both yourself and others.

Part of my why, and the reason I created Caitlin’s Couch, is to teach my clients how to bring more connection into their lives. I share my best tips on how to slow down, work through the discomfort, and move towards better connection. 

• All Things Connection
• The importance of learning how to slow down
• How slowing down will benefit your intimacy

• “Our society is structured in a way that breeds a lot of shame.”

• “In connection, there is slowness.” 

• “A lot of us don’t know how to move from disconnection to more connection.”

• “There’s a lot of layers to slowing down.” 

• “Disappointment is part of intimacy.”

• “Orgasms are great, but they aren't ALL there is.”

“How can I change the script so this doesn't keep happening?”

In this episode of Caitlin's Couch, I am joined by Productivity Life Coach, Brittany Caffo! Brittany and I chat about her experiences with being single for the past 6 years and all of the stories that she has gathered. She has done a lot of inward reflection over the years to take notice of the kind of guys that she is attracting and the red flags that she has been brushing under the rug for too long. 

Brittany is a Productivity Life Coach who helps entrepreneurs get their sh*t together through mindset, systems & strategies. Listen as she gets vulnerable and shares her tips on taking ownership, accountability, and changing her script.

• Navigating the dating scene, relationships and sex
• The struggles of dating during the pandemic
• Taking ownership of  your dating life and changing the script for yourself

• “Were there red flags that I chose to ignore, or chose to justify?”

• “A lot of men that I attract unfortunately are unavailable.” 

• “Someone that is right for me is going to appreciate all of me”

• “I can’t control what they do, but I can control who I choose.”

• “If someone tells you that you’re needy, it’s because they don't want to meet your needs.”

• “All of the things we do are opportunities to see if the person is the right person.”

• “If I don’t know you, I can NOT get turned on.”

• “I got the message when I was younger that ‘Strong women have sex without feelings’ and that is NOT a thing.”

• “I’m a grown-ass woman, I know what I like and what I don’t like and your magic dick isn’t going to change that”

Meet the man behind the woman behind Caitlin's Couch! Calvin Tesler is Caitlin’s loving husband as well as father to their daughter Gabriella! He is a University Professor of History, Writing, and Literature. 

Caitlin and Calvin share about their sex life and how, just like Caitlin supports her clients in putting the work in to keep their sex lives alive, she really practices what she preaches!

Foreplay only exists between times that you and your partner have sex. There is a connection between getting your needs met outside the bedroom and getting your needs met inside the bedroom. Any judgment, criticism, or irritation, follows you to the bedroom and has an effect on your sex life. 

• All the sexy secrets of a sex therapist
• How Caitlin and her husband, Calvin, handle rejection
• How they practice simmering 
• How they contribute to keeping their sex life alive

• “I totally practice what I preach.”

• “Part of keeping our sex life alive is the way that we engage with each other between the times that we have sex”

• “It’s very rare that there are issues inside the bedroom that aren’t there outside the bedroom.”

• “Between times that we have sex, I feel like we really nurture each other.”

• “Practice staying in a place of respect and speaking to your partner from that space.” 

• “We were constantly trying to help each other.” 

• “That head down there knows that somethings not right in a relationship before that head up here knows.”

• “Your partner has the biggest impact on your sense of self-worth.”

“Part of the lack of love and affection that my dad gives me is because that was not provided to him when he was a child.” 

In this episode of Caitlin's Couch, I am joined with the Boss Bitch, Women’s Success Coach Kael Roberts. She shares how she went from a background in the fitness industry to massage therapy to reiki healing to NLP to becoming a mindset and business strategy coach!

Kael really gets vulnerable in this interview and shares how events in her childhood shaped her in her adult life. With a lack of masculine affection in her family from her rarely present dad, She took matters into her own hands and became that masculine energy that she craved.

• “You have to look at yourself that way (sensually) in order to feel that.”

In this episode of Caitlin's Couch, I am joined with Spiritual Business Coach, Danielle Klein, talking about her relational journey with her husband! I met Danielle in a mastermind that I was a part of earlier this year.  

Danielle is a woman on a mission to help spiritual leaders wake up to their highest self and really monetize their unique gifts to be a successful entrepreneur. She ties in spiritual development, personal development, and business development, in order to help you level up as an entrepreneur.

She shares how learning strong communication skills with her husband has been a learning curve since the beginning of their relationship. You must take the time to understand how to express something hurtful, or the feeling of being disrespected by your partner. Once you can understand each other's love languages, it opens the door for more meaningful and powerful conversations. 

• How honoring and respecting your partner is going to make your bond stronger
• How Danielle used communication and personal development to become more comfortable with herself without the aid of alcohol 
• How having those hard conversations and finding your partner's love language of communication, creates a powerful foundation for your relationship
• The power of journaling and writing letters to ease communication if face-to-face communication seems too daunting 
• The power of being able to apologize in your relationship

• “I had to learn how to use my words in a way that was compassionate and understanding of his receptiveness and his thought process”

• “When we figured out how to communicate, it opened the door to everything” 

• “Communication is mostly about the process and not the content” 

• “You seem to speak of him, and I imagine to him, with real respect and that is key” 

• “If we get defensive now, we are so quick to notice it”

• “In my childhood, I associated saying ‘I’m sorry’ with being cowardly”

• “We’re not afraid to ask for help from each other”

• “If you’re not communicating well, don’t give up, do it more”

In this solo episode of Caitlin's Couch, I am breaking down how a partnership is NOT about two people doing things the same way. A partnership is about two people showing up, supporting each other and accepting each other in their differences.

Your partner does not have to do everything your way. They are human with their own quirks and habits. It’s important to loosen your grip on control, judgment and criticism. 

If your partner doesn’t do something your way, even after asking them to, it doesn’t mean that they don't care for you. 

A relationship is built on communication and it’s important to learn to give criticism from a loving and respectful place, and, to receive criticism in a way that makes it useful to you. 

Chew on that criticism and think to yourself “how much, if any, can I take from this and grow from?” 

• How being controlling is actually keeping you from getting your needs met
• Why taking ownership of your judgements is key to being less controlling and critical
• How to get your needs met without using criticism 
• How to receive criticism in a useful way

• “You don’t feel good when you’re in a state of being critical” 

• “Your right way is not EVERYBODY’s right way”

• “Take ownership of your anger”

• “The person who is more critical and controlling, feels like in some ways, they are the victim in the relationship”

• “Maybe I think that my way is better, but really it's just better for me”

• “With control comes criticism and judgement”

• “Essentially, you can say anything in a relationship if you say it from a place of love and respect”

• “I like things to be done my way and that is not my partners problem, it is my problem”
