“This is our mission: All couples on the planet will use their relationship as the vehicle for their own personal transformation.”

You may be familiar with the name of this month’s guest. That’s because I interviewed Marla’s romantic partner - Julian Colker - way back on episode 33 of the Stay Grounded Podcast.

As an entrepreneurial power couple the story is only complete when you interview both halves, so I couldn’t wait to go down the rabbit hole with Marla.

Marla is a relationship & intimacy expert who specializes in coaching entrepreneurial couples.

If you’re in a relationship with another entrepreneur (or someone with an entrepreneur mindset) you’ll understand the specific challenges and opportunities that arise from this union. Fuelled by risk-taking, a growth mindset, and a desire to put yourself ‘out there’, entrepreneurial couples can struggle to create work-life harmony and create quality space for each other.

But use your relationship as a mirror to fuel radical self-awareness, and you can both fly higher.

It’s what Marla helps couples achieve together.

“I am in charge of me. Nobody can shift my balance of my mind, except me.”

I took so much away from this episode. Marla oozes with passion and enthusiasm for her work and is overflowing with practical ideas and suggestions that you can start using with your partner today.

From the Mirror Tactic, to the importance of being unapologetically kind, to the power of presence, and the 1-10 test, this episode will equip you with practical things that will help you create more intimacy and connection at home.

When you’re an entrepreneur with a mission and passionate about making your business thrive, it can be hard to create the same levels of success in your relationship.

But as Marla reminds us, how you do one thing is how you do everything.

And if you’re settling in your love life, you’re likely leaving entrepreneurial success on the table too.

So tune in and learn some relationship wisdom from a specialist with over 23 years experience who’s helped over 12,000 couples, including Academy Award winning actors, producers and directors, NBA players and coaches, Grammy Award winning artists, and millionaire entrepreneurs.

Her insights and strategies could change everything for you, the same way it did for me.

“You have to listen, but listen in a particular way because we can listen with judgment or we can with curiosity.”
