If there’s something in your life that you want and don’t currently have, this episode is for you. I am excited to share some ideas about how to think about goals differently.

Recently, I started working towards a goal of my own that’s felt pretty elusive, honestly. 

During this process, I noticed I had the thought, “This is just as likely as going to Mars.” Which made me feel really defeated.

To feel like one of our goals is impossible just leaves us feeling like there’s nowhere left to go.

But the next morning, I woke up and thought, 

“Okay. If NASA was going to Mars, how would they do it? What would their actual step-by-step process be to getting to Mars?” 

And of course I came up with a few ideas, like desire, budget, plan. And that led me to wondering what that would look like for me and my goal, if I distilled this big process down to the main things I would need to do…

And that’s what I want to share with you today. 

So think about something YOU want, that’s yours and yours alone (meaning, something you have control over to a certain degree) and let’s get ready to apply these four principles to what you want to accomplish.

Listen and learn more about:

• How to be very clear about what you want

• The power of committing more to the process than the outcome

• Dispelling the idea that you have to accomplish your goals alone

• Why you should also think about what’s in the way of your goals

On this special episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I’m sharing a rich, deep conversation I had with fellow coach Melissa Parsons on her podcast, Your Favorite You. This collaboration with my dear friend was so impactful that I asked permission to also share it with my audience, so that’s what you’ll be hearing today. 

It’s a sensitive topic, the urge to control. Mostly that urge comes from a desire to feel safe. Overworking, taking over responsibility – my hypothesis is that it all comes from a quest for safety. We think if we establish control, we can be more safe and feel better. 

But really, more often than not, that control leads to resentment, overworking, and burnout, which is exactly what Melissa and I unpack in this episode. 

As much as we might try to control others, we can only truly control ourselves. So what if we harness the power of influence, instead? How could we use our influence in a kinder, more compassionate way to get more of what we want without causing the harm that control does? 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

- Recognize the difference between trying to control others and positively influencing them. True influence comes from connection and understanding, not from imposing your will.

- Authenticity is key in relationships. It’s important to be honest about your feelings and experiences, even when it’s difficult. 

- Life is full of dualities, and it's important to hold space for seemingly contradictory truths. For example, you can be strong and still need support, or you can be independent while deeply valuing connection.

Did you ever wonder how feminist dating principles could make your marriage stronger? In this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, you’re going to find out.

I was joined by Lily Womble, my favorite dating coach and founder of Date Brazen, a coaching framework that’s helped hundreds of women around the world build a clear path to the best relationships of their lives with unconventional, feminist-led coaching. I got a sneak peek of Lily’s upcoming book, “Thank You, More Please” which will be released in June. We talked all about the concepts she explores inside and how it serves as a feminist guide to breaking dumb dating rules.

You know I could talk about navigating the patriarchy all day, so this was a super fun conversation and you’re going to love Lily’s insights.

Just a few things we talked about included:

- How women are taught to people-please and caregive in order to survive

- What internalized patriarchy is and how it affects your relationships

- Why I believe dating doesn’t end just because you’re married

- How to recast your spouse in a role that you both value

- My take on why it feels like women have to do “all” the emotional labor 

You don’t settle in any other area of your life, so let’s not start with your most important relationship. This episode will give you the tools to envision and create a partnership you want to be in.

What happens when we’re not connected with our body? How does listening to our body help us have a better marriage? With help from my special guest, I’ll answer these questions as well as dive deeper into methods of getting in better touch with our bodies, our intuition, and ourselves.

I got the chance to sit down with Celia Cain PhD, international mindset coach, healer, and mentor who teaches people recovering from trauma how to heal themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 

Celia has helped me understand an entirely new way of listening to my body. As a self-professed nerd (iykyk), I lived in my head for many years, and creating a relationship with my body has helped me in many ways. Understanding cues from your body is a highly effective way to be in touch with your intuition, which, if you’re like me, balances out the energy and time you spend in your head.

As Celia said, “We have a tendency as a culture to see it as intellect or intuition – you don’t get to have both.” 

This conversation makes space for both intellect AND intuition. Through understanding both, you’ll be able to create the marriage you truly want.

In this episode, we talk about 7 business concepts that he shared with me that we can apply to both business and relationships. And as always, we’re going to have some fun along the way.

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, one of my previous marriage coaching clients, Dr. Melissa Parsons, shares her experiences of being coached, the effect it had on her marriage, and where she is now.

We talk about the importance of releasing the need to be right even when it’s hard, and letting go of the need to be in control. We also chat about changing the way you fight so fights bring you and your spouse closer together instead of father away. And, Melissa shares some of my favorite books that I have clients read and what she got out of them.
