Episode #5: Real Relationships: You’ve Gotta Do The Work


Listen Later

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. 

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT
  • 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

 

SOCIAL MEDIA + QUOTES

 

  • “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”
