What does it mean to grow together as a couple? It’s not always as simple as it sounds. This episode is all about navigating those differences and creating a process that works for both of you.

Here’s the thing: growth will look different for everyone. I break down what growing together as a couple looks like, particularly for couples that experience the anxious - avoidant attachment style dynamic.

In this episode, we dig into:

• The real work anxious and avoidant partners need to focus on to grow individually and together.
• Why setting clear goals and intentions for your growth is non-negotiable—and how to align those goals as a couple.
• How to recognize when you’re making progress (and when you’re stuck), so you can celebrate wins and seek support when needed.
• The delicate balance of respecting each other’s pace, without rushing or dragging your feet.
• Why setbacks are inevitable—and how to handle them with trust, compassion, and resilience.

Growing together doesn’t mean you won’t stumble along the way, but it does mean committing to showing up—for yourself and for each other.

I've created a brand new resource to help you and your spouse have an initial conversation about where you are and where you want to be as a couple.

Even though it's so easy to avoid them, hard conversations have the potential to move your life forward in the direction you want to go.

Hard conversations can happen with yourself, with your spouse, with your children, and anyone else you have an important relationship with.

In this Episode of the podcast, I'm breaking down all aspects of having hard conversations. From your intentions and goals, to the barriers that get in the way, to how to have effective (yet hard) conversations.

It is my hope that you see having hard conversations as a tool to live a more authentic and fulfilling life, and to experience more out of your marriage and intimate partnerships.

As we end 2024 and begin 2025, these kinds of powerful conversations can literally change your life.
