What's it look like and why is it important? Fostering individuality is going to not only keep your own cup full, it's going to keep you interesting and attractive to your spouse. Meanwhile, creating a culture of togetherness is going to keep your relationship strong, growing and prioritized. How do you balance the two? There are 10 factors to consider.

The first question is basically asking if validation feels fake instead of calming and connecting, how do you approach validating your partner (who is most likely avoidant)?
The second question asks if marriage is "just a piece of paper" and how to avoid divorce if you're engaged but terrified of the possibility.
The third question is from a man asking if he should stay in his marriage or leave as he and his wife have a lot of trauma from the past and keep hurting each other.

Ep 70: Safe Haven: Cultivating Emotional Safety in Marriage
Warning. Today's episode may be quite convicting. Emotional safety is a foundational element to having a connected, trusting, fulfilling relationship! Sadly, we are seeing less and less connection with parents and their kids, adults and their friends, and even more so with couples as the divorce rate has risen to 54% post pandemic. Emotional safety is just as important as physical safety and is one of the most important elements to have in order to become your best self just after having your physiological needs met (food, water, sleep, breathing, homeostasis).
If you don't feel emotionally safe in your marriage after you listen to this podcast, share it with your spouse. Have a conversation around what this looks like for you, about the experience they are creating for you and if you need help learning how to create more safety in your relationship, email me at coaching@recognizingpotential.com
Chapters:
0:00 Introduction and Overview
5:17 The Importance of Safety In Relationships
12:03 Building Emotional Support and Trust
25:29 The Role of Men in Establishing Safety
32:59 The Connection Between Safety and Intimacy

Ep 68: 3 Things Your Marriage Needs to Thrive
In this episode, I talk about a new course that I've just launched on learning to manage emotions, notice, name and share them and how to get signed up for that.
The meat and potatoes of the episode is all about the three things your marriage needs to thrive according to Dr. John Gottman and his many years of research on the subject. I break down those three into the visual of a house consisting of trust, commitment and friendship. I talk about how to build all three and how you may be damaging them consciously or unconsciously.
Individual topics talked about on this episode are:
Accepting your partner's influence, building and losing trust, treating your partner as your friend, consistency in relationships, seeing your partner in a positive light versus focusing on the negative light, avoidant behavior with emotions and pulling away in a relationship, setting boundaries, the value of trust, and letting your partner into your world. I recap stories of real life examples from coaching clients as well as my own relationship with my ex-husband and what went wrong in our marriage.

Customer Reviews
Much needed podcast!
The episode on emotional safety really touched me especially after dealing with childhood trauma
Practical, Honest, and Effective!
I started listening to the podcast well before I knew God’s plan for our marriage, thanks to a gentle nudge from a dear friend. I was desperately seeking tools to supplement the two years my husband I had spent in marriage counseling, resulting in minimal change to our marriage.
In keeping with pilot wives theme (full transparency, I am a farmer’s wife), it was like we would gain momentum on the runway, take off, and soon after… be right back where we started with the same old, same old, rinse and repeat patterns and behaviors. We were exhausted, desperate, at the end of our rope while our hearts and mind’s remained conflicted on where to go from there.
As a current client of Recognizing Potential, Kam’s coaching, by the grace of God, has transformed our marriage just shy of six months of working with her.

Feeling empowered
I’m someone that loves podcasts. I usually have a hard time listening to single person pods, but I LOVED this one and had no problems at all. After listening to one episode I felt so motivated to make changes in my life that will make me happier and fulfill my highest self.
