How good are you at managing your emotions as an argument begins? Do you recognize the emotion that you're feeling, but still choose your words and actions consciously? Or do you find that your emotions (anger, sadness, etc) drive your words and actions that lead to disagreements escalating to the point of hurting your partner and the relationship? The thing is, it's absolutely OKAY whatever emotion you're feeling. The goal isn't to get to a place where NO emotion comes up for you in argument (that's not realistic, nor is that life)! Instead, the goal is to become so self-aware that you notice the emotion arising AND you still choose your next words and actions that allow the other to understand you even more. In this podcast episode you will hear: How emotional awareness can help shorten the argument hangover period The 3 personal aspects to better manage your emotions Specific constructive actions you can take in those moments of anger, sadness, frustration, etc This is such a critical topic that we have two VERY helpful resources: Our newest book, The Argument Hangover, officially hits shelves and ships in ONE WEEK!

You got into your relationship for one big reason… LOVE. More specifically to have the experience of being loved unconditionally by your partner. Yet this doesn't always happen right? Especially for men to show up as, and express, unconditional love. Now does this mean something is wrong? No not at all. BUT it is a sign that one of 3 major needs of men are not being met. This is not to put pressure on you, the partner of a man, because often men do not even realize, let alone vocalize, any of these needs to you as their partner. So what to do? Well, listen to this podcast episode! In this episode you will hear what the 3 needs are that are critical for men, that often are not even expressed. Then once you know and can have these conversations, men (either you or your partner) will be able to feel that you can give all the love to your partner that they need, even unconditionally!

When your partner seems off somehow, do you ask them, "what's wrong?" I know your desire is that they express themselves, but asking this question can only make them shut down more. Odd, right? So in today's quick episode, I'll chat with you about: Why asking "what's wrong" has the opposite effect on your partner What to ask them instead if they seem "off" And what to do if they keep saying "I'm fine," but you feel like they're really not Also, make sure to CLAIM YOUR BONUSES for pre-ordering The Argument Hangover.

Being able to fully express yourself is one of the most important aspects of being in a relationship. This is what allows you to be known by and connected with your partner! This is what leads to a healthy and loving relationship. However there is one thing to this, that could have you be dependent on them for. It will also lead to diminishing your own ability to self-sooth and self-regulate your emotions. On the other hand, by not relying on your partner for this one thing, you will feel more freedom, emotionally steady, and safe for your partner to more vulnerably express themselves to you!
