Couples often struggle to understand one another, especially when there are competing needs. Built into every relational want or need is a vulnerability; someone risks being misunderstood, dismissed, or rejected. This is the “quiet rumbling” that goes unnamed that creates much of the conflict in relationships.

When couples begin therapy after a betrayal, the injured partner can easily get swept up in the how, why, and when of what happened. This leads to a natural inclination to recall, remind, and rehash the details of the betrayal. The risk here is that it keeps the couple anchored in the injury.
Real repair starts when focus shifts from event to impact. When the betrayed partner feels there is space to express how the injury affected them, they can start to feel safe again; and the partner who betrayed them can start to better understand impact and together they can start to see possibility for repair.
This process isn’t easy for a couple and begins a sort of dance, one person moving towards revealing their depth of their pain and the other person moving to create capacity to understand it.

Shipping out the puzzles I created felt special 🥰. Every order placed felt like a couple choosing to slow down and prioritize their relationship. Connection happens when we are intentional; Private Parts: An Intimacy Building Activity for Couples can help couples do this “one piece at a time”. Grateful for every order 🙏🏽

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT🎉📣📣

Today is the launch of a couples’ activity I designed and created.
Private Parts: An Intimacy Building Activity for Couples.
Why an activity? After sitting with numerous couples, I found that one of the biggest challenges they reported wasn’t just about creating time and space to connect, but how to connect. Private Parts was designed with that in mind! An activity that would be stimulating, collaborative, fun, evoke curiosity, and intentional dialogue.
Head on over to my website, link in bio, where you can purchase your box today 🧩

Many times, in relationships, whether that be with a partner, friend, coworker, or even a family member, conflict occurs because someone becomes fixated on the other person’s inability to take accountability. This can feel like dismissal of your reality! What you felt, saw, or heard.
The major challenges with accountability start when one person gets hung up on the fact they apologized already or admitted fault; not recognizing that accountability isn’t just about saying you’re sorry or admitting fault. In fact, it’s more about how the other person witnesses you manage your irritation, create space for their perspective, and validate their feelings. Think about whether you have done any of those things the next time it feels like the accountability you’re taking isn’t being recognized.

Yes you want the conflict stop, the repetitive conversations to end, and all the distress that comes with betrayal to go away. I get it! However, trying to manage an emotionally charged situation with disingenuous words of reassurance doesn’t help with repair or connection. It provides “the betrayed partner” with a false sense of safety that once revealed only fuels more resentment and mistrust.

The toll of stress happens “over time”. Each unresolved moment of stress puts tension on our nervous system. Just remember we’re all going through something; and the evidence of someone’s stress
may look different on the outside—
but the internal impact is the same.

The New Year is a great time for reflection. Our needs are ignored when emotions are avoided. The more we understand our emotions, the better our choices, the better we communicate, and the better we feel. Think about that emotion you avoided in 2025 and the need connected to that emotion and how you can respond to it in 2026.

This time of year, many people are masking their emotions so they can be more present for friends, their partner, at work, or with family. It doesn’t always feel like “the most wonderful season of all”, and this can be emotionally weighty. Try to be a bit more patient, kinder, and compassionate with others.

I want to say this loud and clear 📢: just because you’re the outspoken one, the one who “has no problem saying what’s on your mind”, or the one who’s confident in expressing yourself does not make you a good communicator.
In sessions, when one partner says to me, “I know how to communicate, but they don’t,” I think about what I am witnessing as the label for good communicator. Many often, it’s based on the misbelief I mentioned in this post.
Today, consider how you’re showing up in conversations with others. Are you speaking to be heard or understood? Are you creating space or taking space?
