Have you ever had trouble in a relationship? (I know, that's a dumb question, right?)

For some it's serious enough that you're contemplating ending the relationship.
But even if you feel you have a "great" marriage or relationship, most of us underestimate how much more happiness, connection, and excitement COULD be there with a little guidance.

On this episode you're going to learn how to stop chopping at the branches of the problem and start striking at the roots.

We interviewed Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife. She helps couples and individuals learn how to strengthen their relationships, overcome relational and sexual roadblocks, and increase their capacity for intimacy, love, and sexual expression.

A few nuggets we discuss with Dr. Finlayson-fife

The virtue of desire (Owning our wants in a positive, empowering way)How we show up in the world and our relationships Figuring what type of partner you arePartners in Marriage (Room for two)"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." - EinsteinReal Partnership (Not compromise but the better, 3rd way)Being at peace with who we are and our desires (especially sexual desire)Seeing conflict for what it really is (or at least could be)One up and One down positions (with examples of how we do that in our relationships)Losing Strategies to avoid (e.g. costly accommodation, entitlement, overt and covert punishment, etc.) The more honest you are with yourself, the more you can deal with "what is." (increased ability and self-respect)Intimacy Vs ValidationNot vilifying the "other side"

Dr. Finlayson-Fife has 5 AMAZING online courses, in-person workshops, as well as one on one coaching.
