Have you ever walked away from a moment, big or small, thinking, I should have had my partner's back? Maybe it was a comment you didn't speak up against. A social setting where you stayed quiet, or just a moment where your partner needed support and you missed it.

It happens. But here's the good news. With the right skills, every one of those moments is also an opportunity. A chance to show your partner that you're on their team, that you've got them, even when things are messy or unexpected.

In today's episode, we're walking you through a simple five step process to help you show up for your partner in the moments that matter, whether it's in front of others or behind closed doors. This is how you build emotional safety and become each other's safe harbour. Let's dive in.

In relationships, it's easy to fall into the trap of keeping score counting. Who does more chores, who spends more time with the kids, or who provides more emotional support. But when relationships become transactional, with each partner focused on getting their fair share, it starts to create a division rather than closeness.

In today's episode, we're talking about the concept of radical generosity and how it can help shift your relationship from competition to collaboration. Join us as we explore how embracing a team mindset can strengthen your bond, allowing you both to thrive in times of scarcity. We'll share practical strategies to break free of the scorekeeping cycle and build a relationship where both partners feel valued, appreciated and fully supported.
