  • Why We Rush To Solutions & What We Should Do Instead
    We often rush to offer solutions when a loved one expresses emotional distress, not because we don't care, but because it's uncomfortable to witness pain—both theirs and our own. While advice and plans may seem helpful, skipping over empathy and validation can make others feel dismissed or misunderstood. In this episode, the hosts unpack why we default to fixing and offer tools to slow down, connect emotionally first, and ask what support is actually needed. In this episode, we cover topics such as: - Fixing as a Coping Strategy - Forms of Fixing - Impact of Fixing - What to Do Instead - And more! Give Me Discounts!

  • Knowing How To Name Emotions Will Deepen Your Connection To Yourself And Others
    Being able to name and understand your emotions deepens your connection to yourself and improves your ability to connect with others. Language gives shape to emotional experiences, much like how having more words for color can help us better distinguish shades. By learning the core emotions—anger, fear, guilt, and pain—and understanding their physical and relational functions, we gain tools to navigate conflict and communicate more vulnerably and effectively. In this episode we talk about:  Language Shapes Emotional Awareness The Four Core Emotions People Vary in Emotional Intensity Connection Requires Vulnerability Self-Reflection Tools And more!

  • Making Non-Evil, Generous Assumptions About Our Partner’s Responses
    In this episode, examine how our assumptions about our partner's behavior shape the emotional climate of our relationship. Often, we default to interpretations that paint our partner as careless or intentionally hurtful, which leads to defensiveness and distance. By learning to make generous, non-evil assumptions—like believing our partner is overwhelmed rather than selfish—we create more space for empathy, curiosity, and connection. We cover topics such as: We often assume the worst based on our own insecurities. Generous assumptions reduce conflict. Shift from “they’re against me” to “they’re struggling.” Mutual generosity creates safety. And more! Give Me Discounts!
