172 If there was one thing I could shout out from the rooftops right now to help all intimate relationships –and really all of humankind and our very planet– what I share in this episode would be it. It is that important. Have you ever felt a sense of your spouse being “against” you, almost like they’re an enemy, a nemesis, a “bad guy” at moments, if not much of the time? If so, you are FAR from alone. So many of my clients have told me that they feel that way, even if it is only subtle. And ...

Bonus: Foundations of Emotional Well-Being For HSPs

Highly Sensitive, Happily Married ·

2024/11/15

As a sensitive or deep feeling person, your nervous system is more reactive. This matters. Because, importantly, your nervous system is the foundation of not just your emotional well-being, but also your relationships well-being— or it’s lack of well-being! A chronically overstimulated, stressed out nervous system (which, let's face it, most of us have in our modern world, especially as HSPs) is a loving relationship's biggest enemy.And, so long as your nervous system stays that way, you’re g...

171 If you've ever felt AT ALL uncomfortable to express yourself in any way in your relationship, this episode is for you. Because, even if you want a loving affectionate marriage, a weird thing may happen that I’ve seen again and again with women I've worked with (and I’ve done it myself, too!) :You may edit your loving impulses, stop yourself from expressing in certain ways the love you have for your partner, out of fear of how it will be received. OR you may have a deep truth to share, but...

170 If you have any chance of having a great –or even just a decent– marriage, there will inevitably be times in your relationship that you need to take a look at your self and how you are approaching your relationship. To self-reflect and take ownership of the ways you are contributing to a less-than-great relationship.Even if you know how essential this is for making positive changes and having lasting love, it can still, unfortunately, feel painful–if you approach it the way so many ...

Whether you’re newer to the podcast, or if you’ve listened to every episode, this one is a must listen (or re-listen).

Deeper Intimacy "Vitamins"

Highly Sensitive, Happily Married ·

2024/10/10

The connection and closeness we so deeply want with our partner can dissipate for a variety of reasons, but often it comes from a slow hardening of our hearts towards our spouse in response to the arguments, the many moments of irritation, or the mistakes we feel they are making, and the disappointment we feel from it all.If that resonates at all (or you are simply tired of feeling disconnected with your partner), this story-and-metaphor-filled episode is an absolute must-listen for you.To cr...

167 You want to look forward to your life with your significant other into the future. Imaging a bright future with each other is part of what keeps a relationship vibrant and alive in the present.

How To Get Your Spouse To Help More Around The House

2024/09/26

Many women I talk to feel as though their husband doesn't contribute enough domestically, like with the household chores like dishes, laundry, etc, or with the kids. If that is going on at all for you, you probably feel resentful about it, and a sense of burden at having to do the lion's share of the domestic load. Who wouldn’t?!This episode will change that, and help you get your partner to contribute more domestically. You see, there is a common pattern that many couples fall into...

Resting For Better Love As A Sensitive Person

2024/09/12

165 If you are tired, as so many women–and especially highly sensitive women—are these days, then it IS affecting your relationship – for the worse. When we are tired, depleted, or burnt out, we HSPs tend to feel especially burdened, irritable and even resentful. And unfortunately it is just so easy to get tired, depleted or burnt out in our modern lives with all the societal and real-life pressures. And you likely feel you have to just keep go-go-going. Especially if you are a mom or ...

163 Understanding this one thing about relationships can truly make or break your marriage:What we practice grows stronger. And in our relationship, we are, consciously or unconsciously, always practicing. We practice having arguments, or finding our way to a solution.

159 Almost all of us instinctively approach our intimate relationships in mixed ways: ones that generate more loving intimacy and harmony, and ones that drive division and pain, which I call the Backfiring Tactics. To have the marriage you want, it will take cultivating more of the first, and minimizing those Backfiring Tactics.
