The Loving Truth

Us, Unfiltered part 1: When Success Isn’t Enough


Listen Later

In this first episode of Us, Unfiltered: Behind the Beautiful Life, I speak to high-achieving couples who appear successful on the outside yet feel disconnected at home.

Life is full, you’re doing everything “right,” but the closeness you want has faded behind the busyness.

Achievement builds strong skills, but connection requires different ones. And the habits that help you excel — control, efficiency, staying in motion — can quietly block intimacy.

I name the early warning signs: staying late at work to avoid the tension, talking only about schedules, and avoiding conversations about how you really feel.

Nothing is wrong with you. You simply haven’t learned the skills that create true closeness.

It doesn’t take hours. It takes intention. Ten to twenty minutes of real presence can shift everything.

My invitation: put distractions aside, sit together, and ask, “How’s your heart?” or “How are you really doing?” Then listen.

In the next episode, we’ll look at how avoidance creates distance and how silence slowly replaces intimacy.

If you’re serious about healing the disconnect in your marriage, there is a path forward.

Apply for a Private Couples Weekend. We’ll talk about what’s happening between you, what you want to rebuild, and whether this private, two-day experience is the right container to help you create lasting change—together. 

Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you’re serious about finding that answer?

Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We’ll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there’s a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.
