    The Role of You in Marriage with Chany Rosengarten

    So often in relationships, we’re looking outwards – at the other person with his or her flaws & what needs to be fixed. But what if the key to fulfilling and meaningful relationships lay inwards – with the self? What if we truly understood ourselves? Chany Rosengarten believes this type of empowerment gives women peace, joy and confidence – in themselves and their marriages. In this episode, we discuss: How the starting point in relationships must be the self. What being comfortable with oneself looks like and how it impacts a marriage How to heal wounds and find connection How we can bring out the best in each other in marriage How to feel satisfied, fulfilled, seen and understood in our marriages What emotional intimacy looks like and how to cultivate it Chany’s website: https://gitty-chany-s-school.thinkific.com/ Chany’s book, The Boundary is You: https://a.co/d/f8iRV52 Chany’s book recommendation, The Artist’s Way https://a.co/d/co176s9  We love hearing from our listeners.

    Embracing Conflicting Emotions with Sara Eisemann

    Life is complicated, and with life experiences come complex emotions. But embracing conflicting emotions with strategies such as paradoxical thinking can make all the difference. This is the topic that therapist, dating coach and columnist Sara Eisemann wanted to DMC with us on this episode because she knew the life-changing impact of “both/and” thinking, which looks something like this: “I’m both so grateful for my son’s bar mitzvah and overwhelmed hosting my family.” Instead of fighting those conflicting emotions, we embrace them – and drop the guilt. You’ll learn about this and more in this fascinating conversation. In this episode we discuss: What Sara’s aims to accomplish in all the work she does, from clinical therapist to Family First columnist to Director of Education for Core. What “both/and” means and how it can be applied to life experiences Typical paradoxes in our lives and how we can make space for them How to handle negative emotions in a healthy way The role of acceptance  We love hearing from our listeners.
