"I had an idea for a podcast topic that I don't think you covered. It is actually relevant to current (Jewish) events lately. I want to know what to do when you or your spouse is having a crisis and is not dealing with it properly. Or if there is a crisis in the world that you or your spouse is taking very hard and not functioning as they normally do. If it is you, that is one thing but what do you do when it is your spouse? Especially when it comes at a busy/high stress/just wrong time?"

This is such a relevant question right now. 

Listen to this week's episode to hear the following tools to help when your husband is struggling to navigate a stressful time...

Not to be contrary, but this week we'll be talking about why you might need to take a BREAK from setting goals.

This episode is for you if you have a goal that's been lingering for a while that you just can't seem to work up the motivation to achieve. 

Listen to hear...

I'd love to hear your thoughts and what goals you're ready to let go of! Be in touch at kaylalevin.com

We talk a lot on here about getting our needs met, because that's one of the main questions I get as a marriage coach.

Today I want to share two tools that will help you get more of what you want--whether specifically in your marriage or in your life as a whole.

Listen this week to learn:

When we say "marriage is hard" we mean to encourage. We mean to empathize, to validate, to normalize the struggles that can so often happen in marriage.

But I want you to know that there's a major negative impact of saying this so unquestioningly. 

Make sure you listen this week as I pull in thought work to understand why the phrase "marriage is hard" can be one of the biggest disservices we do for one another and for ourselves, and why I think we should all chuck this well-intentioned phrase right out of our collective vocabulary.

This week I'm teaching you how to manage when you are TIRED. When you're up a lot at night, or have a very schleppy life-situation, or an extremely physically demanding job.

Often we make the mistake of thinking that thought work doesn't apply to our physical experience. I've seen time and time again that this is not true. Our thoughts about our discomfort create the true bulk of our experience.

Whatever your situation, I invite you to listen this week to hear...

- How to stop resisting and adding drama to physically demanding parts of your life

- The real benefits you can gain when you embrace physical discomfort

- How to get out of "energy scarcity" -- when you're worried about spending energy now because you might not have it later

- How to trust yourself to make decisions about how to take care of your body

Happy Chanukah! This week I'm on vacation but I wanted to send you a blast-from-the-past--this episode was originally aired all the way back in August of 2019! Hard to believe. It's a great reminder of how we can use the idea of the Five Love Languages to help ourselves--not to make us feel like we are missing out in what we need from our husbands.

This is a perfect continuation of the Real Goals podcast. Last week I discussed how we can use goals as a way of beating ourselves up or invalidating everything between here and there…

Having your back means that no matter what, you don’t use your failures to condemn or hate yourself.

Why we SHOULD call them failures

Why you want to embrace your failures

How to love yourself and be proud of yourself when you fail big

How to dream big without burnout

How to create a goal that gets you really excited

How to break the habit of beating yourself up in an attempt to be better

Have an audacious goal you want to commit to loving yourself through? I'd love to help you do this work--join us inside How to Glow and let's get to it!

In today's episode I'm sharing with you a more nuanced, human way to use goals that will serve you so much better than traditional goal-setting.
