In this episode, I’m talking how to break through emotional isolation. Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing one person in a marriage feel completely alone while their partner is sitting right there. This is something I see over and over again in my work with couples, especially high achieving women who are used to doing everything themselves. It doesn’t have to stay like this. There is a way b...

This episode is about something I see in almost every couple I work with. It’s not the big issues that break most relationships.

What you don’t expect is the mental load, the intimacy shifts, the disconnection that creeps in...
