I saw a video recently that had "4 Things Healthy Couples Do." I thought it would be helpful to expand on those ideas, so in my most recent video I'm talking about those 4 tips, why they make a lot of sense, and how you can implement them into your relationship. Check out the video here https://youtu.be/VeRAiD1Sz-o

Getting stuck in the rat race and only focusing on work can be easy to do in our society. Fortunately it doesn't have to be this way, and having more of a balance and actually enjoying parts of your present life can be a win-win without downside. Check out my new video to watch more about why we get stuck here, the benefits of more balance, and how to go about creating that balance https://youtu.be/taoO6kZeySs

If you're only thinking about yourself and not considering the other person at all, of course that isn't a sign of a healthy s*x life. But if you have a foundation of knowing what the other person likes, and allow yourself to lean into your own experience - that can be a phenomenal s*x life that you're creating with each other. Check out my new video below to watch more about why it can be okay (and even more healthy) to focus more on yourself, and the downsides of prioritizing your partner during s*x.

Working with couples who've lost their emotional connection, a common sentiment that I hear when asking about how often they express appreciation for each other is: we don't really express it, but they know I appreciate them. While understandable to think that, "knowing" it is not a substitute for expressing that appreciation for each other. Check out the rest of the video on why you need to continue to express appreciation in your relationship here! https://youtu.be/nxW11LVQ37Q

The Pursuer-Distancer cycle is one of the most common unproductive cycles that couples get into. In my most recent video I break down what that cycle is, why we get into it, and how we can get out of it. Here are the first two steps in disrupting that cycle - check out the video to see the rest! https://youtu.be/PSAczbXyFn0

It's something that tons of people struggle with throughout the year, but that struggle can come up much more often during the holidays. When you get a family together under the same roof, there can be a lot of differing opinions and views, or ways of navigating through certain situations.

In my most recent podcast, I explore why setting boundaries can be a great thing, why it's usually quite difficult to do, and practical tips to work through setting those boundaries. Check out the episode at the link in my bio

One of the easiest ways to stay stuck is to dig our heels in. We might think to ourselves, sure I responded poorly but it's justified because of how the other person is talking to me. That line of thinking certainly isn't unreasonable, but it doesn't do anything for either of us. If we both remain dug in to our own sides, we just end up getting more hurt and upset.

Instead, try to apologize if you recognize you made a misstep. This doesn't mean you're taking responsibility or blame for the whole interaction - it's more of a metaphorical reaching out to your partner so that you can get back on the same team. Then at that point you can talk through it, and both share what hurt you about that situation
