How do you validate your partner's feelings during conflict?

Validation doesn’t mean you agree, but that you can understand even a small part of your partner’s experience. It's about you both feeling understood and, ultimately, loved.

Asking your loved one questions like “Is there more to this for you?” or "I'm listening, please tell me more," may help them uncover deeper meanings or other aspects of their experience that they have yet to discuss. By seeking to understand, we can open the door to conversation and resolution.

Brave young lady!

Simone Biles was already an Olympic champion—the GOAT of women’s gymnastics.

Now she’s accomplished a bigger victory—championing mental illness. Today, Simone withdrew from competition, citing mental health struggles.

Do you see what she just modeled? For all of us?

She honored her whole, entire self.

She reminded the world that we are not just physical bodies that should be pushed beyond the brink. We are emotional, mental, and spiritual human beings—and wellness extends to all parts.

Simone just gave every one of us permission to make choices that honor our mental health. Because even the champions among us need to step back now and again.

I have never cheered harder for an Olympic moment. Extraordinary courage.

Thank you, Simone. 🤍
