The Revived Couple

This is a short and sweet episode, but still an important topic: dating your spouse.

And even better, how to date your spouse without even leaving the house.

If you've fallen out of dating your spouse for whatever reason - whether it's the chaos of life that is keeping you busy, or the pandemic, or even just the season of life that you're in, this is an episode you'll want to check out.

We're talking about why intentional connection time with your spouse is so important and how to actually make it happen (because we know it's easy to say one thing and do another, especially after a long week!)

We'll also give a hint to the men listening on how you can really make a date night special - and it doesn't involve anything other than your brain.

We were hard on women last week, and this week we've giving it to the men (just kidding - sorta!)

We're talking about what it means to be a man (this might surprise you), how to cultivate confident masculinity, and how that confidence can completely shift your relationship with yourself and your partner.

We're also diving into what we see often from men that we work with, how men can learn to take accountability for their shit, and why we need to stop viewing vulnerability as a weakness.

Life is too short, so let's stop taking it for granted and start fucking living!

Women don't need men.

Men and women are not equal.

Have we triggered you yet?

If we have, that's good, not because we want to start any internet fights or piss people off, but because it means that there's something inside yourself that you may want to pay attention to.

In this episode, we're talking about how modern feminism is messing up relationships with men. There, we said it. It's causing confusion in men, it's causing unnecessary conflict, and it's causing men to feel like they have to walk on eggshells.

We'll be sharing what we mean by "modern feminism," how it is messing things up, and answering the question: do women really need men? The answer might surprise you.

Do you ever feel like you have to do everything yourself?

Or that you have to have everything figured out?

In this episode, we're diving into the fallacy of doing everything yourself, and discussing not only why it's a completely unrealistic expectation, but also how it's detrimental to our well-being and our relationships.

And we're talking about flipping the narrative to get away from this idea that men who seek help or support are "weak" - this belief is not doing ANYONE any favours!

We all know that life is full of ebbs and flows. There will always be struggles, challenges, and hard times, just like there will always be joy, pleasure, and happiness.

We're also told to always aim and strive for good feelings and good times, and to avoid pain and struggle. Sounds great, right? Why would we want to seek out and embrace pain?

Well, simple.

The struggle is where the wisdom is, and it's where the growth happens.

That's why today we're talking about how we can embrace the lesson in the experience, and lean into the hard things, and embrace them for what they're teaching us instead of resisting the struggle.

Are you ready?

Co-dependency is a pretty big buzzword, but do you really know what it means to be codependent?

We're letting it all flow in this episode and talking about codependency, interdependency, and the difference between the two.

We're diving into what the common characteristics of a codependent relationship are, how to tell if you might be in one, and what you can do to empower yourself out of it.

We're also sharing why we don't recommend hitting rock bottom in your relationship, and why codependency often translates to other areas of your life outside of your intimate partner relationship.

If you think you might be codependent, or you just want the low-down on what that even means, this is an episode you'll want to check out!

We're sharing our experience taking time alone together, getting away from the grind, and reconnecting with each other.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the nitty-gritty of everyday life that we forget those things that made us fall in love with our partners to begin with. Making an intention to slow down and get to know each other again as human beings (and not necessarily in a sexual way!) can completely take your relationship to a different level. We were reminded of these things on a recent trip away, and we wanted to remind you of them as well.

So grab your favourite drink, get comfortable, listen in, and start making plans for how you can reconnect with your partner!

The time has come!

We are releasing our signature program, Safe & Wild, and applications are officially open!

If you've been listening for the last few episodes you know that we've been dropping some truth bombs and insight into what exactly we will be talking about in Safe & Wild - the dance of the masculine and feminine energies, the patterns we fall into in relationships, and how we communicate (or don't) with each other.

If you're ready to up-level your relationship, deepen your connection with your partner, and finally figure out your roles so you can actually enjoy coming home at night, you will definitely want to check it out…not only to evolve and grow with your partner, but to change and heal intergenerational trauma and patterns for future generations. What could possibly be worth more than that?

Patterns.

We all live by them, but it's not always easy to identify them.

And so often, we're living by patterns that have been handed down to us from our parents, and our parent's parents - shit that is so engrained in our way of being and doing that we don't even realize until that moment when we think "wow, I sound like my mother right now."

In this episode, we're talking about patterns, including why they always repeat themselves until you do something about it, and how you can disrupt the cycle of unhealthy patterns. We're also sharing our own real-life example of our own relationship patterns and what we did to change them.

This is a great episode to tune in to if you ever wonder why the same fights keep happening in your relationship, or you already know that you live by unhealthy patterns already but don't really know what the hell to actually do about it!

Men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, right?

In this episode, we're diving into masculine and feminine energies and what these energies mean for your relationships - you might be surprised just how prevalent these energies are in the nuances of any relationship, not only for the sake of polarity but for your passion as well!

We're also sharing a personal story that happened recently where we were clearly not on the same wavelength (it might have involved sherpas), and Laura is spilling all her secrets about sex and reminiscing about that time she totally disappointed her parents (not related to sex!)

If you're even just a little bit curious about how to live and love with harmony and passion by balancing the masculine and feminine energies in yourself and your relationship, this is an episode you won't want to miss!
