The Courage To Be 139: The Three Foundational Pillars For Making Any Relationship Last
What makes a relationship truly last through decades of change?
Can you really feel free in love without needing to be the same?
Are you bringing out the best in each other—or just getting by?
In this heartfelt episode of The Courage to Be, I’m celebrating 20 years of marriage and reflecting on 26 years with my husband. I unpack the three foundational pillars that have kept our connection strong and how they apply not just in marriage, but in friendships, family, and business too.
I also share a personal story about inviting my husband to attend Landmark Education with me—a moment that taught me the deeper meaning of respect when someone you love chooses a different growth path than you. If you've ever struggled with wanting someone to grow “your way,” this one’s for you.
This is an honest, wisdom-packed episode for anyone craving deeper, more spacious relationships.
