Effectively Communicating with Your Partner Part 2 EP#248

Effectively Communicating with Your Partner Part 2 EP#248

 

.  

______

SSometimes communicating with your partner can feel like you’re trying to solve a Rubik’s cube with your feet… and with your eyes closed. And even though you feel like you are using all of the words and explaining yourself over and over and over, it seems like you are even farther away from solving this intricate puzzle. And, now somehow your partner is pissed at YOU. Wait, what? How did we get here?

This cycle is unbelievably common because, um, where exactly are we supposed to learn how to communicate effectively? School? Mom and Dad? Hell, no. Media? Uh, nope. Your last relationship? Probably not. So, cut yourself some slack and be compassionate. The great news is that EFFECTIVELY communicating with your partner isn’t that complicated and you can make huge changes in your relationship dynamic just from making a few subtle shifts.

If you tuned in last week, you heard me sound off on some of the most common ways we try to get through to our partner which often ends in nothing but frustration, freak-outs, and fuming. This week, I’m covering off five things you can do that will drastically change your ability get your message across to your partner.

This pod explores:

    • How to figure out what you role in the matter may be (even if you would rather make it his/her fault)
    • The one essential piece of communication you’re probably neglecting every single time you chat with your partner
    • How to present your “side” of the sitch to your partner in a way they can actually hear you
    • What to do if the two of you start raising your voices and get all heated

Effectively Communicating with Your Partner – Part 1 EP#247

Effectively Communicating with Your Partner – Part 1 EP#247

 

.  

______

WWhen you are at odds with your partner, it’s highly likely that the two of you go over and over the exact same topic and get a shit-ton of NOWHERE. Perhaps you are discussing if the kids should go to public or private school or how much is reasonable to spend on new fencing for the yard or who’s responsible for taking the dog to the vet. Each of you have a strong opinion, yet it seems like you both aren’t making any headway with the other person.

Why does this happen? Like, over and over. I’ll tell you why: Because most of the time, we’re more concerned with being “right” than we are concerned about really, truly understanding our partner. But, they’re being so unreasonable! Um, yeah. So are you.

This episode is the first of a two part series which addresses communicating effectively with your partner. In this episode, we cover off the most common (and wildly unsuccessful) communication tactics that many couples employ to get their points across. This lesson is all about examining what hasn’t been working and calling it out so you can learn aaaall the effective tools next week. #yourewelcome

This pod explores:

  • How your lack of communication may be taking years off your life (Totally serious)
  • How your attachment to being “right” doesn’t allow your partner to hear you. Like, EVER.
  • When you should absolutely NOT try to have a serious convo with your partner
  • Two words you must eliminate if you want to start getting your point across

4 Ways to Increase Intimacy In Your Relationship EP#246

4 Ways to Increase Intimacy In Your Relationship EP#246

 

.  

______

TTell me if I’m onto something here… You’d love to foster deeper connection and intimacy with your partner but you have zero idea where to start. And, let me guess… he/she isn’t making things any easier on you, amiright? You often find yourself thinking, “Well, why should I put any effort in? He never does.” Or, “I know how she’s going to respond, so I’d rather not even address it.” Or maybe “I can’t imagine anything changing, so why even bother?”

Well, I’ll tell you why you should bother. While you’re sitting around waiting for intimacy and connection to magically appear in your relationship, you are stuck in a vicious cycle of tit-for-tat and you still come up empty, frustrated, and lack the connection you are craving from your partner. Or perhaps you’re craving the connection that used to be there. Before the job. Before the kids. Before the in-law drama.

Well, here’s the great news: All is not lost. You can totally begin to foster a deeper connection and sense of togetherness with your partner in small, gentle ways. It doesn’t have to be a big, crack-myself-wide-open sort of convo. In fact, I would argue that some of the small, baby steps you can take toward intimacy can be wildly effective. In this episode, you’ll learn exactly what these small, baby steps look like so you can get back to the togetherness and intimacy you’ve been desiring!

This pod explores:

  • What-the-hell intimacy even means
  • How to create daily practices that dramatically increase the intimacy of your relationship
  • Super-fun and easy ideas to cultivate connection with your partner
  • Commonly overlooked ways to create physical intimacy with your partner

5 Super Common Relationship Myths EP#245

5 Super Common Relationship Myths EP#245

 

.  

______

EEver think, “Jesus! How can my partner NOT know how much that means to me?!” or perhaps while the two of you are arguing you think, “How on earth does that shit makes sense? Clearly, I’m right about this.” Or how about wanting to share how you really feel about her family, but you think, “There’s no way I could tell her that… it would destroy her!”

If any of these thoughts rush in and out of your mind, you are totally normal. And… without knowing it you may be inadvertently buying into lies you tell yourself about your relationship… well, the lies much of our society tells us about relationships, amiright!? Before you start beating yourself up… There’s a strong chance you have NO idea that you’ve been lying to yourself or rather, totally listening to your inner shit-talker.

In this week’s episode, I discuss 5 major relationship myths that often keep us locked into blame and inaction in our relationships and how it arrests us from having the intimacy we truly desire. Have a listen and learn how to catch these myths and change your approach in your relationship… so you can actually LOVE your love.

This pod explores:

  • How you get stuck in the “shoulds” of your relationship
  • Why you assume your partner is a mind-reader (I mean… he should totally know that… right!?)
  • How you may be causing a total stand-off with your mate and not even realize it
  • What to say instead of “You always…” or “You never…”

Why Love Is Not All You Need EP#244

Why Love Is Not All You Need EP#244

 

.  

______

WWe’ve all heard the popular phrase and song lyric, “All you need is love”, but how factual is this statement really? Not very. A romantic idea? For sure. But factual? I find that many people falsely assume that if they are in love with someone, then everything else should come really easily. Um… No.

In this episode, I dig into why being soul-mates or being madly in love with each other doesn’t always equal relationship success. Along with input from Mr. Smith, I delve into why emotions of “love” can lock us into blindness and cause relationship turmoil.

So what DO you need to keep a relationship thriving, happy, and healthy? I’m so very glad you asked, Buttercup. In this episode, I share five necessary components, other than love, that ensure success in intimate partnerships. Plus, these five components are all about shifts in focus, not massive time investments, so you pretty much have no excuse NOT to make your relationship totally badass. #yourewelcome

This pod explores:

  • How love is “blind” and why some soul-mates are toxic for one another
  • What it truly means to respect your partner and be respected in return
  • How to maintain your relationship on a daily basis
  • Why you don’t always have to “grow together”
  • Simple ways to employ “niceties” and kindness in your relationship

5 Relationship Mistakes You Don’t Know You’re Making EP#243

5 Relationship Mistakes You Don’t Know You’re Making EP#243

 

.  

______

EEver find yourself thinking, “If my husband would just get his shit together, this relationship would be fine”? Or maybe you find yourself keeping score? Like, if he isn’t initiating sex, why should I? Or, if he can’t pick up his shit, why should I? And, then maybe you do passive-aggressive moves like let dishes pile up for 3 weeks or some other shit to “prove a point”… which OF COURSE leads to a huge fight where you both blame each other. Hmmm. How did I know? Because you are sooooo not alone.

You wanna know why? Because no one ever taught you how to communicate in a healthy way. We learn most of our relationship habits from trial and error, our parental examples, or media… all of which suck. Well… your parents may not suck, but you get my point. We rarely have sound instruction on how to express our needs, how to communicate with one another, and how to resolve conflict. If you find yourself struggling in any of these areas, this episode will give you an arsenal of tools and ideas to make major changes in your relationship TODAY.

This pod explores:

  • Why timing is everything when you express your needs
  • How to know what your partner really needs/wants from you
  • How to make your relationship a priority… like, for real
  • Why having good relationship “manners” could dramatically change your relationship

.  

______

IIf you took a look around you… to all of your close relationships, would they all be reciprocal?

This pod explores:

  • How to take an inventory of the people in your life and decide where you need to scale down

SELF-BLAME: CONSTANTLY ASSUMING YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG EP#241

SELF-BLAME: CONSTANTLY ASSUMING YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG EP#241

 

.  

______

TTell me if this sounds familiar: Your partner/bestie/boss/mom says something snarky and you immediately make it all your fault and assume that you MUST have done something horribly wrong. And then, without asking for any type of clarity, you just stew on it, ruminating, and make up all sorts of stories about what that other person is thinking and how you must clearly be a total asshat.

The tendency to self-blame around every corner is actually far more common than you may think. Even though you are perpetually making it “all about you” (even if it’s in your own mind), doesn’t necessarily mean that you are a narcissist or purposely trying to take the blame for everything.

In this week’s episode, I discuss a multitude of reasons your knee-jerk reaction may be to self-blame (aka I must have done something wrong!!), four steps to dealing with this habit, and how to let go of some of this shit that is soooo not your responsibility.

This pod explores:

  • Why you tend to think that it’s all your fault, you must have done something wrong, and surely *that person* is pissed at you
  • My four-step process to breaking down your self-blame so you can have richer connections with people and you know… not hate yourself
  • My absolute favorite tool that immediately snaps you out of blaming yourself (and it’s soooo easy)
  • How to figure out what you are really craving in your life that you aren’t getting, so you can stop wasting time and money

SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME: HOW TO STOP CHASING THE NEXT BEST THING EP#240

SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME: HOW TO STOP CHASING THE NEXT BEST THING EP#240

 

.  

______

IIn our society that craves INSTANT gratification for damn-near everything, no wonder we get tripped up on the the continual chase for the next best thing. The next shiny object. Surely, *this new thing* will make me happy. But, wait… now I’m bored with *that thing*, but Ooooooo, what about *this new thing over here*… and then rinse, repeat. Jumping from shiny object to shiny object. Not following through with anything and on a hamster wheel of happiness chasing.

But, here’s the thing… we usually do this racket without even realizing it. We do it subconsciously. We’re usually just trying to feel better, avoid something uncomfortable, and forget our shitty situation already. But, if you keep up this chase, you never really accomplish anything of merit and your happiness is inevitably always postponed.

In this week’s show, I look at the multitude of ways this not-so-medical “syndrome” shows up in your world, how to stop yourself from making hasty, rash choices, and where to really, *truly* find your Happiness.

Have you ever found yourself at your wits end with your partner and you think something to the effect of, “Well, if he would just _________, we’d be just fine!” Or “I totally wouldn’t get all worked up if she would just ________.” It’s totally normal [and much easier] for us to blame our partner and conveniently NOT look at our role in the matter.

Here’s the rub with all things relationships: We aren’t ever really taught how to communicate with our significant others. We learn how to operate from our parents, from experimenting in our intimate partnerships, or from what the media tells us. So, OF COURSE you want to bang your head against the wall. No one told you how to actually get through to that other person.

In this show, I discuss 10 specific questions to ask yourself to help you better navigate the communication in your relationship. PLUS, this episode comes with freebie Journaling Worksheets so you can get it all out on paper, make a plan for your partnership, and get to gettin’ with that rich connection you’re craving. Say HELLO to better connection, communication, and intimacy. Yes, please!

This pod explores:

  • The #1 ineffective way most people communicate and why you HAVE TO STOP (I mean, if you want your partner to listen to you)
  • My favorite, game-changing question to start asking your partner that will have them opening up in no time
  • How to prepare for challenging conversations in such a way that you get your needs met from a willing partner (without having to throw a shoe at their head)
  • How to know exactly what is YOUR shit and what is THEIR shit (and you might be surprised)
