Life and Love by Design

Conflict is bound to happen, whether you’ve been married for two years or twenty. It’s a fact of life. But how you deal with it will determine if you have a long and happy relationship, or you both throw in the towel prematurely. 

Most people, in my opinion, tend to love their spouse and want to make it work. They just don’t know what to say or do to make it better. That’s why this week, we’re taking a few tips from my favorite relationship-solving book.  

In this week’s episode, we're gonna be talking about how to strengthen the relationship with your partner. As a relationship coach, I know that there is a way out of the darkness, and I can help guide you through it. I’m going to be talking about how to handle conflict in a healthy way and how small daily habits can help protect your marriage from disconnection and from stress. We’re going to be diving into the seven principles highlighted in the book Making Marriage Work by John M. Gottman and Nan Silver. Tune in to hear what simple tweaks you can make in your relationship to ease the stress and protect your marriage.

Limiting beliefs start out as a way to protect yourself, but if they never get resolved, they can evolve into an untrue story you tell yourself. For example, if you get a bad burn while cooking, you may never want to set foot into a kitchen again because cooking is dangerous. This is the story you tell yourself, and as time goes on, it limits your ability to feed yourself, develop your cooking skills, and work through your fears. 

Many of my clients want better for themselves; they want to improve their lives and their relationships, but they refuse to get out of their own way. It makes sense to them because they’ve been hurt before. Whether it was a relationship, a bad experience with a manager, or something in their childhood that never got resolved, people get stuck in limiting beliefs because they think they are keeping themselves safe. When in reality, they’re holding themselves back. 

In this week’s episode, we’re identifying what limiting beliefs are and how you can rewrite the stories that are keeping you stuck. To build an intentional life and an intentional relationship, it’s important to take a look at our limiting beliefs and how they’re holding us back. The only way to get over them is to work through them, and this week, we’re doing it together.

Our values are what tell us if we’re living the life we’re truly meant to live or not. That gross, gut feeling we get when we don’t stand up for ourselves, or when we accept something we shouldn’t, means we are not aligned with our values. And if we keep living in misalignment, we start to feel like we’re living on autopilot. 

That is no way to live. When we want to change our lives or even change our love lives, it’s often because we’re not living in alignment with our values. By identifying what values are, we can start living in alignment with them. 

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how we can let our values lead the way. Our values are what’s more important to us. They tell us who we are and what we want to be. So if we’re ever feeling lost or confused, leaning on our values is the compass we need to make the right decision. It can be difficult to figure out these feelings on our own, which is why we’re going to do it together.

I know it sounds like this huge, daunting thing, designing your entire life, so let’s start with the basics. This is your life, so this process is going to take a lot of self-reflection. When designing your life, you have to ask yourself what you do want in your life, and what you don’t. 

Getting clear on what you want can be as simple as just being honest with yourself. By identifying your core values and beliefs, you can take the first steps towards the life you didn’t even know you wanted. And as your life and relationship coach, we can do it together. 

In this week’s episode, we're getting clear on what you want your life and your love to look like. You are allowed to change and evolve and grow, even if you don’t know what you want yet. In this episode, I’m going to be sharing some journal prompts that you can use to get clear on what you want, as well as sharing what I did to get clear on what I wanted when I first started designing my life.

To change our lives, we need to look inward and confront these feelings that keep surfacing. Feeling lost or stuck can mean we want to explore or move on from our current situation. Feeling like we don’t have any clarity can mean you want to start researching your options. And since you are in charge of your life, you can start designing your next steps. 

As a life and relationship coach, I see so many of my clients shy away from these feelings before they explore them. They feel as if changing any aspect of their lives is too much change for them to fully be in charge of. But it’s your life. It’s your relationship. You are allowed to change, edit, and evolve as much as you’d like!

In this week’s episode, we're going to talk about what it means to live life and love by design. It’s time to stop living by default, start taking ownership of your life, and start creating and designing the life and the relationship that you want to live. And we can do so together. Listen to this week’s episode to hear how you can identify some of these difficult feelings and start designing your life and your love with intention.
