In this conversation, Trina Glines discusses how women can loose themselves after time in a relationship and family life. And what this looks like. She coined the term the intense woman, after going through her own journey to increase the happiness in her own marriage and life. She discovered the intense woman is created through misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and resentments. Women often compare themselves to the perfect version of themselves and expect their husbands to live up to that standard. However, men have a different language and way of thinking, which can lead to miscommunication and frustration. Trina emphasizes the importance of understanding and accepting these differences in order to have a healthier and more fulfilling relationship.

Did you know that "all the research agrees that a stable, loving relationship is the absolute cornerstone of human happiness and general well-being"? Dr. Sue Johnson (Love Sense) And did you know YOU ARE NORMAL if this doesn't naturally happen in your marriage?

This journey called marriage is far from a one-direction highway. You have two imperfect people coming together trying to maneuver through this messy thing called marriage.

Valentines Day is coming up! And did you know that Valentines is the most unliked holiday by husbands? There are often expectations they struggle to meet. Which leaves you disappointed and him asking, "why did I even try?" 

Birthday's, Anniversary's, and Holiday's can often bring on those unmet expectations! 

Today I want to set you up for success by setting your man up for success! I share what you can do to ensure you and your man have a successful celebration. 

Have you ever considered letting your man know what you would like on on these special days? Unfortunately ladies, we often fall to the thinking that if he really knows me and loves me he will know what I like. This is incorrect thinking. He can NOT read your mind. He works differently than you do. 

You sharing with him what makes you feel loved and adored on these special days sets him up to win, which means you win too!

Some people say that life won't give you more than you can handle. I actually don't believe that fully. There have been lots of times that I've had things I couldn't handle on my own, and it took another to help me.

Have you ever struggled to know what to say or do for someone who is experiencing an incredible amount of suffering? Have you ever struggled to find the right words, or know how you can help?

Today I interview Todd Olson, an LCSW who shares with us the heart-wrenching experience individuals have when they lose a child.  He shares with us what we can do to comfort and love those who live this nightmare. He also shares with us what doesn't help. What not to say.

I felt what he shared is applicable to many situations that we might find ourselves in while trying to support others. He also validates what you are feeling if it's you experiencing the trauma. 

I want to thank Todd for sharing with us his own personal experience of losing his son, and what he has learned. I hope this interview will help us all to know how we can better support and love those who are suffering from a loss or an intense trial.
