Ep. 15 - Money & Debt
March 25, 2019 02:52 - 19 minutes - 26.8 MBHow do you agree on finances when one of you wants to save hardcore and the other wants to spend more? This week I'm answering a listener question about how to manage differences of opinion between her and her husband when it comes to MONEY. Money and debt are such hot-button issues in our marriages, and I want to share with you a few things to keep in mind to keep these conversations useful, productive, and connecting.
Ep. 14 - It Gets Better
March 17, 2019 22:42 - 17 minutes - 23.4 MBI'll say it... the first year of marriage can be HARD! Being a newlywed is such a tremendous adjustment, and it can create a lot of insecurity and anxiety for some people.

Ep. 13 - He's Not The Man I Thought He Was
March 10, 2019 19:52 - 16 minutes - 22.8 MBLet's talk about disappointment. Whether you went to premarital counseling and made a bunch of agreements that haven't come through or he seems different from the guy you dated, feeling like your husband isn't "what you signed up for" is so common. This week we talk about where this comes from and what to do about it.
Ep. 12 - Mind Management
March 03, 2019 10:00 - 17 minutes - 23.5 MBThis week we're diving deep into managing your mind. While it feels like we should be able to "set it and forget it," really our brains are always at work and if left unsupervised, they can get into a little bit of trouble. This week we'll be talking about how often to do thought work and why, and how this is going to benefit not just your marriage but your entire life. This is where self-improvement and self-development kick into super-speed and your marriage truly transforms.

February 17, 2019 05:30 - 14 minutes - 13.3 MBTraveling together… there is so much to say and I hope we’re able to come back to this topic more over the course of this podcast. Is this a vacation or a family trip? If it’s a family trip, who is being prioritized? If it’s your spouse, what does your husband need to be supported and what will you need to be able to give that support? What might come up? What is the goal of the trip? Asking your brain the right questions can take any trip and evolve it to deliver far more value to your l...

If so, you MUST listen to this week's podcast. You CAN be a better wife (or husband), but beating yourself up or criticizing yourself is not the way to do it. More than that... you'll actually harm the authenticity of your relationship. Your partner chose YOU, flaws and all. This podcast will teach you how to align your thinking with the result you want in...
Ep. 7 - Baseline Self Care
January 27, 2019 10:00 - 21 minutes - 20 MBSometimes all the coaching in the world isn't going to cut it. And that's because you're just too tired. When I was first married, I loved staying up late... but my marriage was paying the price. It took me longer than I care to admit to realize that the zombie my husband was married to wasn't the one he signed up for! In this episode, I'll walk you through my system called "baseline self care" that will allow you to identify what keeps you up and running. This isn't the deep meaningful s...

January 13, 2019 10:00 - 19 minutes - 18 MBYou're ready to grow, you're ready to move on to the next level.... but everyone around you is struggling. What's a newlywed to do?
