This episode is a continuation of the discussion we had last week with therapist Eli Harwood. Eli and I dive deeper into what to do when there's trouble in your relationship when you desperately want a secure attachment, but it feels like it's a long way off for you and your partner. How do you work to build your connection with them while also holding onto your connection with yourself? For full show notes, including the three takeaways, go to https://3in30podcast.com/ 342-communicating-to-partnerEpisode Sponsors:Vionic Shoes: Go to vionicshoes.com and use code 3IN30 for 15% off your orderBetterHelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In Monday's episode, we talked with therapist Eli Harwood about How to Be a Safe Place for Your Spouse, and one of her takeaways was that it's important to light up about the things that our partner lights up about. Sometimes our spouse’s differences don't feel very loveable to us, and their interests might even feel scary or threatening to us. I loved Eli’s response to my question about this, and I know you will, too. Episode Sponsors:BetterHelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Are you in a secure relationship? We all yearn for secure relationships.

As we head into a new year, I, like perhaps many of you, am feeling pulled to get back to basics--back to the essence of my life and what I want and the work that is most essential for me to be doing, both inside and outside my home.That's what has pulled me back to a book that I read almost a decade ago called Essentialism by Greg McKeown. He is my guest on the show next week talking about his second book, but I wanted to introduce him this week by talking about his first book, which I think is especially needed at this time of year.For full show notes, including the three takeaways, go to https://3in30podcast.com/333-get-back-to-essentials Episode sponsors:BetterHelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
