This is what some couples who avoid conflict could actually sound like. Keeping to the easy-going, light, 'all ears' open but avoiding the difficult issues and tough stuff. 🫣

If you want to have real conversations that open up hearts 👩‍❤️‍👨and minds 👫, increase your emotional intimacy 👨‍❤️‍👨, and lead to talking about what you really long for with your partner 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩- don't end up sounding like this circular story of niceness and pleasing others.

If you would like to speak up and find a way to ask for what you really want -🥰 connection, teamwork, closeness 😘- the way forward is with learning the real relationship skills that deepen love and understanding.

I'm all for that❣️

FATHERS'S DAY almost here, just a few sleeps away. I’d like to celebrate all our fathers, in all their differences, compassion and courage.

Fathering is not given enough attention or support in our communities. Lets' change that!

*5 Reasons You're an Awesome Father!*
- *You set the tone*: Your optimism and can-do attitude inspire your family—often more than you realise.

- *You’re a team player*: You work in partnership with your child’s mother and build positive relationships around her and your kids.

- *You show love in words and actions*: Your children see and hear how much you care—and they return it in kind.

- *Family first is your first thought*: Fathering work that once required conscious choice is now a natural reflex. That’s worth celebrating.

- *You keep growing*: It’s obvious you’re continuously trying hard to be the best dad you can be. Your parner benefits, your kids see it, feel it, and love you for it every day.

*Let a Mate Know He's a Great Father!*
It's time to give the heads up to someone you know for their great dad contributions. Your challenge is to:

- Talk directly to one father you know and tell him something you've seen him do well. It can be something small, positive, and that you appreciate, admire or have learnt from him. Whatever, just do it!

- Tell your own dad something you appreciate or admire about him that's helped you be a more positive dad.

Try starting with these:

- “I see you every weekend here at (kid’s sport) and it’s great to see you how support them”.
- "You tell the best dad jokes – I’ve replayed a number of them myself. But you always have the best punchline delivery”
- “Hey thanks for for…. I've put that into practice, and it's made a real difference with how I manage [insert family life dilemma here].”

*Remember Fathers who are Alone*
No father dreams of being away from their kid, especially on special days like Father’s Day.

For many dads, this day is a painful reminder of their children’s absence: grappling with loss through divorce, consequences of past choices, regrets and the journey toward reconciliation.

Every parent need their own support systems, especially fathers facing challenges, and acknowledging them can provide a much-needed lifeline.

- Do you have a friend who would appreciate your call?

*Want to improve your Dad Skills (and not just the dad jokes)?*
- Need to let go of out-dated, last-century 'Angry Dad Strategies'?
- Want to step up to raising emotionally intelligent, resilient kids who will remember how you made them feel: safe, seen, and supported.

Book a free complimentary call and discover different dad tactics to help you feel confident, stay calm and be a great partner in the hard yards of guiding small people to grow up strong.

Well, here's an interesting dilemma!
I want to promote a speaker at Raising the Bar, next week, Tuesday August 5th, who is speaking at the time, different location, as I am.

So, here's my hope that we'll both sell out our free pub talks!

In 2025, I'm focusing on resilience in our intimate relationships.

When this year's speaker list was announced, I just had to meet Ali Ahmadi after seeing that we shared the same presentation title, 'Resilience Reimagined' - this was the title of the sold out Raising the Bar talk I gave in 2024!
What did we both see in these two words?

Over coffee, we talked about two very different life stories of transformation and challenge. We found our very different experiences, stories, nationalities, professions, and even ages, were conduits to some shared understandings about what resilience is.

We found that these words, "reimaging resilience" meant that we each wanted to move hearts as well as thinking about resilience.
That empathy and ethics were just as essential requirements of a resilient attitude as is courage and risk taking.

That a sense of community is vital to a strong identity as much as individual determination.

And that resilience comes from being confronted and transformed by challenge and adversity. No 'bouncing back'.

Ali's story and purpose are inspiring and I encourage you to try to catch his presentation!
Who knows, perhaps there's a back-to-back double act here?

For many neurodiverse relationships to thrive, it’s important to focus on understanding the differences in how you and your partner process information and how this impacts your ability to understand each other.

"If you are the neurodivergent partner, recognize your own sensitivities to light, sound, touch, smell, taste, and sense so you can communicate them to your partner. If you are the neurotypical partner, understand how these can impact your partner’s nervous system and how their ability to manage them is compromised. Honoring and meeting these basic needs for nervous system regulation can play a huge role in developing intimacy and bringing the relationship closer." - Yolanda Renteria, LPC, NCC

In a recent study around Western Australian FIFO workers, children were found to get anxious when their dads were away.

The study found 43.1 per cent of kids felt nervous or anxious when the FIFO parent returns to work, 45.6 per cent worry about the FIFO parent’s safety at work.

Working away regularly can be tough for you as well as your family but sticking with a routine and staying in touch with regular communication will help alleviate some stress and anxiety, especially for your kids.
