Intentionally Well The Power of Healthy Intimacy and Connection with Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill (Creators of The Connection Codes)
In this episode, I have the lovely opportunity to sit down with the creators of The Connection Codes, Dr. Glenn and Phyllis Hill. After 30 years of a troublesome and painful marriage, Dr. Glenn decided to go back for his Masters in Marriage and Family, along with a doctorate in Clinical Sexology. He was determined to figure out why his marriage was so hard to navigate, and learned through years of studying that we as humans are hardwired to experience connection through emotion, NOT logistics. Once he and Phyllis started putting the pieces together based on brain science, they realized that the key was not only uncovering the WHY behind disconnection, but figuring out the recipe for reconnection.
Dr. Glenn and Phyllis very candidly share the intimate details of their past and what shifted for them right after their wedding (now 40 years ago), and we first chat a bunch about the common misconceptions regarding sexual and intimate connection that are still taking place in today's world. We talk about how and why so many marriages seem to be struggling, and how many feel that all hope is lost because nothing has "worked." They talk about how while sex is a very important part of connection in a relationship, it doesn't always mean that couples are emotionally connected, and how loneliness can still be extremely prevalent.
Dr. Glenn and Phyllis share the premise behind The Connection Codes, and how they've humbly witnessed countless couples go from total despair to repair, and back to a place of emotional safety and contentment. Their tools are designed to be simple and tangible, so that exhausted couples can find themselves becoming UNSTUCK quicker than they think. The Connection Codes are all based off of the "human condition," as they teach us the language of how people are inherently designed to connect with one another in a relationship.
Whether you're looking to improve your relationship, you're engaged to be married and want to level-up your emotional intelligence, or you're simply looking to become more skilled in general interpersonal communication, this episode will provide an open door. Dr. Glenn and Phyllis wholeheartedly believe that most people don't need better intentions, just better tools, and they give us a ton of beautiful insight during this eye-opening, honest, and inspiring discussion.
