Transform your Marriage with Yana Gil de Montes

One thing that married folks can agree on is that being in a relationship with another human being for the rest of your life is challenging. Add building a career and a global pandemic, and that could push even the strongest of bonds to the brink. After getting married, Yana Gil de Montes realized that if she wanted to have a successful relationship, she had to find new ways to approach her marriage and her life. In collaboration with her husband, she has written and developed a course that has saved and revitalized marriage after marriage. Tune in to hear how Yana draws from her own experience of being married to coach her clients, and how the tools she implements with them find their expression in her daily life. You’ll learn why it is more important to her that the relationship she is in helps her to grow, rather than making her happy, and hear some of the ways that marriage has shifted through the years. Yana walks us through how she approaches counseling a new couple, and tells us why she works predominantly with the feminine within relationships. She summarizes the most powerful foundations of a marriage as having a shared vision for your life, partnership, and how to raise your kids, and urges us all to find a beautiful ‘why.
