  • Ep 71: Marriage Monday Grab Bag

    This episode features answers to questions that followers and podcast listeners have sent in.


    The first question is basically asking if validation feels fake instead of calming and connecting, how do you approach validating your partner (who is most likely avoidant)?


    The second question asks if marriage is "just a piece of paper" and how to avoid divorce if you're engaged but terrified of the possibility.


    The third question is from a man asking if he should stay in his marriage or leave as he and his wife have a lot of trauma from the past and keep hurting each other.

  • Ep 70: Safe Haven: Cultivating Emotional Safety in Marriage

    Warning. Today's episode may be quite convicting. Emotional safety is a foundational element to having a connected, trusting, fulfilling relationship! Sadly, we are seeing less and less connection with parents and their kids, adults and their friends, and even more so with couples as the divorce rate has risen to 54% post pandemic. Emotional safety is just as important as physical safety and is one of the most important elements to have in order to become your best self just after having your physiological needs met (food, water, sleep, breathing, homeostasis).


    If you don't feel emotionally safe in your marriage after you listen to this podcast, share it with your spouse. Have a conversation around what this looks like for you, about the experience they are creating for you and if you need help learning how to create more safety in your relationship, email me at [email protected]


    Chapters:

    0:00 Introduction and Overview

    5:17 The Importance of Safety In Relationships

    12:03 Building Emotional Support and Trust

    25:29 The Role of Men in Establishing Safety

    32:59 The Connection Between Safety and Intimacy

    39:49 Practical Tips for Building Safety in a Relationship

    48:22 Conclusion and Call to Action

  • Ep 68: 3 Things Your Marriage Needs to Thrive

    In this episode, I talk about a new course that I've just launched on learning to manage emotions, notice, name and share them and how to get signed up for that.

    The meat and potatoes of the episode is all about the three things your marriage needs to thrive according to Dr. John Gottman and his many years of research on the subject. I break down those three into the visual of a house consisting of trust, commitment and friendship. I talk about how to build all three and how you may be damaging them consciously or unconsciously.

    Individual topics talked about on this episode are:

    Accepting your partner's influence, building and losing trust, treating your partner as your friend, consistency in relationships, seeing your partner in a positive light versus focusing on the negative light, avoidant behavior with emotions and pulling away in a relationship, setting boundaries, the value of trust, and letting your partner into your world. I recap stories of real life examples from coaching clients as well as my own relationship with my ex-husband and what went wrong in our marriage.

  • Ep 67: Creating Habits in Sickness & in Health with Susana Demore

    Susana Demore is my guest on this week's episode. She and I sit down to talk all about her diagnosis with breast cancer, her treatment and the specific ways that her husband truly lived out the vows "in sickness and in health". Susana and I talk about the habits that were created in that time after her diagnosis, after her treatment and after she heard the words "cancer free". What was next? How did all of the stress of that journey, moving from Dubai to the US, having a toddler and life in general take a toll on her marriage. We talk about the supplements she started taking so that she and her husband could get back to being like teenagers in the bedroom. If you are ready to be like teenagers as well, connect with myself or Susana Demore!
