    21. What is Contempt in a Relationship?

    21. What is Contempt in a Relationship?

    This week we chat through another of the Gottman Four Horsemen of Relationships- CONTEMPT. One of the biggest red flags of relationships. 🚩

    Disrespect, mockery, sarcasm and name calling are a few of the ways couples might see this play out in their communication- but don't be fooled, contempt can be a subtle and trickly little beast, sneaking into relationships that you'd least expect.

    We hope you're challenged, encouraged and uplifted by this raw chat all about Contempt.

    We also share a really encouraging listener write-in that we hope brings a smile to your face!

    19. Insecurities in Relationships

    19. Insecurities in Relationships

    This week we dive into the tricky world of INSECURITIES in Relationships 😬

    We're all familiar with that niggling little voice that sits in our heads and makes us doubt ourselves. Insecurities play out in so many ways, but within relationships they can be toxic. The incredible power you can gain from understanding your story and knowing where these insecurities stem from, is so empowering! But if they go unnoticed, ignored or even suppressed, the consequences can be huge.

    Join as we dive into 3 Reddit stories, all touching on the topic of Insecurities! We explore the importance of curiosity and the need to continuously learn and grow together.

    We even discover new tidbits about each other during this chat!
