23m · Published 01 Nov 19:00

Women are you feeling unseen, on eggshells and unsupported?

Men are you feeling rejected, overworked and you’re pulling away?

Maintaining a happy marriage after having kids can be challenging, but it's possible with some effort and knowledge as to what’s needed.

Many couples fear the marriage ending as they are just not connecting as they used to, the intimacy has broken down. A lot of resentment can be building and pulling away seems the only answer.

In this podcast, you’ll identify your top 3 next steps to move you out of the slump you are both in.

1. Communication is King and Queen

2. Regular Check-In with your King or Queen

3. Willingness to get back on your throne

Remember that it's normal for a relationship to go through ups and downs, especially when children are involved. The key is to approach these challenges together, with love, respect, and a commitment to working through them as a team.

Does Marriage therapy really work?

23m · Published 04 Oct 19:00

Are you wondering if marriage therapy is worth your time, money and effort? Have you thought that perhaps your relationship is too far gone so it won’t work?

If you are the slightest bit interested and willing and you know regret is a terrible thing, then this podcast is for you.

I’ve recognised working with hundreds of couples that this is very common and taking time to understand your own feelings and the relationship is a critical step in ascertaining if therapy is for you.

Recognising you may have a stigma, scepticism, and a lack of trust in the whole process. Having a realistic and open view to therapy can be very helpful and cheaper than a divorce.

🌟Do you have a fear of being vulnerable and the idea of sharing feelings and thoughts is uncomfortable?

🌟Are you a couple that are denying the extent of your problems believing they will resolve themselves?

🌟Do you have a fear of change? Therapy can create change which can be intimidating and scary.

In this podcast you’ll identify your top 3 steps to approach marriage therapy with sensitivity, respect, and open communication.

Remember, every relationship is unique, and what works for one couple may not work for another. It's important to approach these suggestions with an open mind and adapt them to fit your specific circumstances and relationship dynamics.

The Pursuer and Distancer dance in Marriage

21m · Published 30 Mar 03:45

Are you always running to your partner for help?

If a text or call doesn’t come in, you worry and you think something is wrong.

If you answered yes, you could perhaps be the pursuer.

 

The pursuer will frequently seek togetherness, quality time, attention, and affection from their partner. However, the distancer responds to this by withdrawing and seeking space which leaves the pursuer in an anxious, sometimes desperate, state

 

A problem occurs only when a pattern of pursuing and distancing becomes fixed. When this happens, the behaviour of each partner provokes and maintains the behaviour of the other." 

 

Learn 6 ways how to unhook the pursuer and distancer dance in Marriage.

We all bring our own pasts, emotions, attachment styles, anxieties, and insecurities to a relationship. However, if we can make an effort with ourselves and understand ourselves and our partner and their differences, we can develop happier and more loving relationships.

How do you change your life?

21m · Published 15 Mar 19:00

Do you find yourself doing the same thing like:

  • Overworking
  • Not making yourself a priority
  • Spending too much money
  • Staying in an unhealthy relationship
  • Drinking too much

 

A lot of people want to change but find themselves doing the same thing over and over again.  If this has been your cycle, you are not alone. 

 

There are 3 reasons why you may repeat the same behaviours.

 

By understanding the 3 reasons and beginning a new practice you will develop intuition. Your body will start to tell you when it’s tired or needs more attention and care. Your mind will tell you when it’s stressed or balanced. Living from the head, heart and gut will help you change and design a life that aligns with your values.
