In this episode of Growth Over Easy, I dive into communication in romantic relationships. Inspired by a concept from Jesse Itzler’s newsletter, I explore how intentionality in our interactions can transform the way we connect with our partners.
We often give our romantic partners the worst version of ourselves—something we wouldn't do with strangers or colleagues. I challenge you to reflect on your recent conversations with your partner: Would you speak to others the way you speak to them? If not, it may be time to reevaluate how you communicate in your relationship.
If you find that the way you’re communicating with your partner needs improvement, I’m here to help. Reach out to me at [email protected] for a free consultation to explore how we can work together to repair and strengthen your relationship.

Welcome to my first Campfire Conversation. This is a combined episode with my soul sister Carli Kahl, the host of Balanced with Boosty, we dive deep into friendship, mental health, emotional intelligence, and human design.
In our fast-paced world, convenience often takes priority over the process of crafting something meaningful. This trend has seeped into our relationships, where the quest for instant connection can overshadow the deeper, more rewarding work of building a solid foundation.
The Joy of Craft
Recently, while on holiday, I found joy in the simple act of making a matcha latte. It wasn't just about the drink; it was about the entire process—measuring the perfect amount of matcha, whisking it just right, and even using special ice cubes. This experience illuminated a key insight: the craft of creating something brings immense joy, far exceeding the ease of a quick, ready-made alternative.
Convenience in Modern Relationships
Modern dating, especially through online platforms, often prioritizes convenience. Swiping through profiles becomes a rapid, almost mechanical task, reducing potential partners to mere data points. This approach can lead to unrealistic expectations, where we hope to find a perfect, fully-formed relationship without investing the necessary time and effort to build it.
The Importance of Craft in Relationships
Building a meaningful relationship requires patience and a willingness to embrace the process. When we enter a relationship with the mindset of building something together, we allow for growth and development, acknowledging that both partners may need to adjust and evolve.
Steps to Embrace the Craft of Relationships
* Know Yourself: Understand your core values, goals, and what you bring to a relationship. Self-awareness is crucial before seeking to understand someone else.
* Align Values and Goals: In the initial stages of dating, focus on whether your long-term goals and core values align or complement each other. This foundational compatibility sets the stage for a strong partnership.
* Be Open to Growth: Recognize that a relationship is an evolving entity. Relationships thrive when both partners are dedicated to personal and mutual growth and are willing to address and work through challenges.
* Embrace Imperfection: Accept that no relationship is perfect from the start. Building a strong bond involves navigating through differences and learning to harmonize your lives.
* Choose to Build: Understand that a great relationship is a choice. It's about committing to the process of crafting a life together, rather than seeking a ready-made solution.
Great relationships aren’t found, they are built.
Ask yourself: am I looking for convenience, or am I ready to invest in the craft of a lasting relationship?
If you struggle to connect and be in a long-term partnership, I can help.
