Doing Life Differently 54 | How to Talk with Your Spouse About Your Vision with Julia Woods
This episode hit deep! If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one driving vision in your marriage or that your spouse doesn’t seem as invested, you’re not alone. Julia Woods and I dive into why vision casting as a couple can feel so challenging—and why it often triggers emotions like fear, shame, and frustration.
Julia shares powerful insights on:
• How vision exposes deeper beliefs about ourselves and our relationship.
• The tension between feeling like we’re “too much” or “not enough” in marriage.
• Why we default to blame instead of doing the deeper work within ourselves.
• The real purpose of vision casting—hint: it’s NOT just about planning trips or setting goals.

I walked away from this conversation so encouraged, especially by the reminder that failed vision meetings aren’t failures at all—they’re gifts that reveal what’s really going on beneath the surface.
