In this episode, I dive into a topic that's crucial for fostering peace and connection in your relationships: How to Get Your Partner to Change.

Now, I know what you're thinking – isn't trying to change your partner futile? We've all heard that the only person you can change is yourself. But let's be real: most of us find ourselves wanting our partners to change certain behaviors, especially when those behaviors impact us.

In this episode, I explore how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can support you in navigating this delicate territory without resorting to nagging, complaining, demanding, or threatening. Drawing on examples from my own relationships and those of listeners and clients, I share practical strategies to communicate effectively and foster understanding.

In this episdoe I discuss:

• The importance of shamelessly accepting your own desires for your partner to change.

• How to identify and articulate your feelings and needs surrounding your partner's behavior.

• Approaching the conversation with curiosity rather than criticism.

• Understanding your partner's perspective and the needs driving their behavior.

• The power of connection and empathy in facilitating meaningful change.

Join me as I explore how to shift from adversaries to allies in the journey toward growth and connection in your relationship.
