Building Community and Promoting Wellness

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on November 11, 2017. Hey, lovely people! It's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to another powerful episode of Relationship Theory on Impact Theory, where we dig into the heart of what makes relationships tick. Today, Tom and I are super thrilled to be jumping into a topic that's all about balance, empowerment, and understanding different perspectives within relationships.

This episode is all about diving into roles like the housewife versus the breadwinner and how these dynamics affect relationships. We’re answering your burning questions and giving you practical tools to navigate these roles with love and respect.

Join Tom and me as we start with a fun "Would You Rather" segment, spark conversation about financial transparency, and explore why truly understanding and valuing each partner’s contribution is pivotal. I really want to emphasize the empowerment that comes from being open and clear in what you bring to the table, whether you're the one working outside the home or managing everything inside.

We'll go into detail about how couples can create a partnership based on equality, regardless of who's bringing in the cash. Plus, let's talk communication! How can we better express what we need from our partners without feeling guilty or sidelined? And how do we manage those heated moments when emotions are high?

Before we wrap up, we'll give you a takeaway challenge to try out in your own relationship. If today’s episode resonates with you, please drop a review, subscribe, and share it with your loved ones. Together, we can keep these essential discussions rolling!
