In this solocast I talk about the importance of following through on commitments. It's basically keeping your word. If you say you'll do something, do it. Whether it's taking out the trash, meeting your partner for dinner, or attending their work event, follow through reliably. The key is consistently matching your actions with your words. Follow-through breeds trust and reliability in relationships. Essentially, partners who do what they say they'll do don't just gain trust; they earn it. Their actions give evidence that they are worthy of trust. This firm foundation is key for relationships to go the distance.

"Only make commitments you know you can reasonably keep. Don't say yes to everything."

- Pripo Teplitsky

In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Gregg Levoy and we dive into this topic. Gregg is a frequent seminar leader who holds workshops in the faith-based, human-potential, educational, governmental, and business industries. He is a Passionate Living Expert who has penned bestselling books such as Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion as well as Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life which has been named as one of the Top 20 Career Publications by the Workforce Information Group. He regularly shares his insights and expertise as a frequent contributor to Psychology Today.

Asking for help is not an easy task, especially because it elicits vulnerability. Many people have a difficult time asking for help because they don't want to appear weak, put others out, seem inadequate, or fear it may be used against them at a later date. How good are you at asking for help?

"You're not weak or lazy; everyone needs support."

In this solocast I talk about the importance of consciously being aware of the kind of attitude you are putting out and understanding how it influences the quality of connection you want. The focus of a positive and heartfelt attitude of connection helps ease conflict and foster trust and love. This connection is a choice. What do you choose?

n this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. She also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me.

The longing to be seen, heard and considered is normal and vital. But if you don't feel heard or understood by your partner (or vice-versa), chances are, neither you nor your partner are really present to each other as much as you could be. We don't want others necessarily to agree with all our feelings, but what we crave is that they at least validate them. Rainbow and I talk about how this shows up in our relationship.

"The best way to understand people is to listen to them"

Corey Costanzo is the co-owner of Asheville's Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend.

In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about how trauma effects relationships. Living through traumatic events may result in expectations of danger, betrayal, or potential harm within new or old relationships. People who experience trauma may become anxious or frightened in relation to others, experience them as having power or control, or easily feel abandoned or rejected. Still, others may become overprotective or dependent. Though it's challenging, you can heal the trauma and change the effect it has on your life and relationships.

"We are not made the same, and we all heal in our own way, our own time."

In this solocast I talk about humility and being humble. To be humble or practice humility means to value other people and their opinions without indulging in self-pride. It's the opposite of arrogance, boastfulness and vanity. A humble person does not always have to prove their point, be right, or lead the conversation because they are truly comfortable with who they are. Being vulnerable and showing humility to a romantic partner can allow for better communication and trust to develop in the relationship.

"Humble partners are more likely to apologize readily and accept an apology with grace."

- ~Pripo Teplitsky
