How To Get What You Need Instead Of Nagging For What You Want w/ Dr. Abby Medcalf EP 75

May 21, 2024
28:49

Every time you catch yourself nagging from here on out, you're going to remember this episode.

I have such a FIRE guest today.  Dr. Abby Medcalf, a relationship expert, psychologist, author, podcast host, and TEDx speaker and she delivers some hard core truths in her very no-nonsense kind of way and one of them is...

Don't Have A Victim Mentality

Remember your mom saying, you're driving me crazy, or your're going to give me grey hair.... maybe that was just in my house BUT

hearing statements like these growing up have us to believe that we're responsible for other peoples feelings or that other people can make you feel a certain way.

The conversation really gets good when she shares that when we're not getting what we need, we focus on what we want and we NAG about what we want.  This blew my mind to think about it and is now stuck with me.

Here are just a few other things that we talk about:

  • overcoming the victim mindset in relationships, 
  • addressing jealousy, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions
  • the power of meaningful communication with partners 
  • setting healthy boundaries and understanding one's needs


And, if that wasn't enough, she shares how to handle situations like flirting and unmet expectations in relationships, making the episode a must-listen for those seeking to improve their emotional intimacy and connection with their partners.
