    Episode 308: Stuck Conversations in Marriage: Why You Keep Talking and Nothing Is Changing

    Have you ever walked away from a conversation with your partner thinking, “We’ve talked about this so many times… why does nothing ever change?” In this episode, we’re talking about stuck conversations—the ones that keep looping around emotional needs, help and support, or personal growth… without ever really moving the relationship forward. I break down what’s actually happening beneath the surface of these repeated discussions—especially the common dynamic where one partner has a clear vision and unmet expectations for the relationship and the other doesn’t share that vision, doesn’t fully understand it, or quietly resists it I'll also walk you through what actually needs to shift—not just what to say, but: what to decide before the conversationhow to redirect your energy during itand how to be radically honest with yourself after, especially when the outcome isn’t what you hoped for If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do—and still feel stuck—this episode will help you zoom out, see the pattern more clearly, and understand what might finally help break the cycle. This is the Moment to Get Help: These conversations don’t fix themselves—and repeating them without support often makes things worse. A private consultation call gives you the outside perspective and structure needed to finally break the cycle. You can BOOK YOUR CALL WITH ME HERE And to sign up for my email list, CLICK HERE

    Episode 307: How to Move Forward When Your Marriage Feels Stuck

    In this episode, we zoom out and look at the stuck stage of marriage—what it really is, why so many couples end up here, and the different ways partners try to cope when forward movement feels impossible. You’ll hear why “sweeping things under the rug,” trying harder in the same ways, or emotionally checking out can all keep couples locked in place—especially when you and your partner cope very differently. One of you may want to talk it through. The other may want space. And instead of helping, those differences can deepen the distance. More importantly, we’ll talk about what actually helps couples move forward in a healthy, grounded way—without blame, pressure, or forcing change. In this episode, you’ll learn: What being “stuck” in a marriage really means (and why it’s more common than you think)The hidden impact of different coping styles when both partners feel frustrated or disconnectedWhy progress doesn’t start with fixing problems—but with stabilizing the foundationHow clarity about what you want moving forward changes everythingHow addressing root issues (unmet emotional needs, negative stories, quiet resentment) opens the door to real collaborationWhat it looks like to approach your marriage as a team again This conversation is for couples who haven’t given up—but know they can’t keep doing things the same way and expect different results. If you’re ready to stop spinning in place and start moving forward with intention, compassion, and clarity, this episode is for you.

    Episode 306: How to Love Each Other Well In Marriage: Emotional Skills Every Couple Needs

    If your marriage feels tense, distant, or emotionally exhausting right now, you’re not broken — you’re under-skilled. Most couples who are struggling aren’t lacking love. They’re lacking the emotional tools to handle disappointment, resentment, stress, and unmet needs without turning against each other. So what comes out instead is criticism, shutdowns, defensiveness, and that painful feeling of being alone in the relationship. In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to love each other well when things aren’t easy — when you’re hurt, triggered, disconnected, or starting to wonder if you’re even on the same team anymore. We look at the real foundations of a healthy partnership: how to understand yourself, communicate without exploding or withdrawing, listen in a way that creates safety, show up with kindness instead of score-keeping, and keep choosing each other even when it feels hard. You’ll start to see where your dynamic is breaking down — and more importantly, where there is still room for repair, closeness, and change. This conversation is for couples who don’t want to give up, but don’t want to keep living like this either. If you’re tired of feeling misunderstood, unseen, or emotionally alone in your marriage, this episode will help you understand what’s been missing — and what it would look like to start doing things differently.
