EmPowered Couples with The Freemans

Trust can be broken or weakened by both the big things and the build up of many smaller broken promises. Trust is such a foundational aspect of a relationship that without it, it's harder to have respect, love, and passion for your partner. In this episode we go deeper into rebuilding trust, whether you are the partner that doesn't trust, or if you realize that you are the one that has contributed to the decline of trust. We were asked to take this topic deeper from a listener of the podcast that emailed us, because she was experiencing unreliability on the side of her partner. (We so appreciate you for requesting topics to cover!) Today you will hear about the small things that lead a partner to not "count on" the other, what the real source is of broken promises, and 3 steps to take to rebuild trust as a team.

When men spend time with other men, it boosts their testosterone (super important), and when women spend time with other women, it boosts their estrogen (super important).

"Inner-Work": looking within to see where you can grow and evolve (ie. what needs to be healed from your past, which patterns need to be unlearned, and realizing that you recreate experiences when you didn't get the lesson). Doing this "inner work" is absolutely imperative to cultivate your desired partnership. Most importantly you, and ideally your partner, must be willing to do this inner-work in some shape or form. Why? Because otherwise you will recreate patterns that do not serve your current relationship. This inner-work doesn't have to be overwhelming and we promise it can be an empowering experience!
