    How the Japanese Art of Listening Transforms Relationships: Learn Skills That Help Couples Connect & Communicate Deeper | Love | EP493

    You're speaking... they're nodding… and yet somehow, the disconnect lingers. Western culture teaches us that communicating more clearly will fix the problems in our relationships, but what if the missing piece isn't “more talking” at all? What if learning how to listen differently is what actually changes everything? When we understand how to listen in a deeper, more intentional way, communication problems soften, conflict and repair become easier, and emotional intimacy has room to grow. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Haru Yamada, a sociolinguistics researcher, writer, and author of Kiku: The Japanese Art of Good Listening. Haru holds a PhD from Georgetown University and has spent her life studying language, culture, and communication across borders. Having grown up moving between countries and cultures, her work centers on listening as a relational skill and a form of intelligence that supports both emotional and physical health. She now lives in London with her French partner in a multicultural family where listening is essential. Together, we explore what the Japanese art of listening teaches us about how to listen in relationships. We talk about why hearing words is not the same as being understood, how tone, silence, pacing, and emotional awareness shape connection, and why so many couples feel unseen even when conversations sound productive on the surface. This conversation offers a reframe for anyone who wants to be a better listener and communicate with more care, clarity, and compassion. If you've ever wondered how to listen in a way that actually helps your partner feel safe and understood, this episode offers listening skills you can start using right away. These are skills that support conflict and repair, strengthen emotional intimacy, and help couples move out of stuck communication patterns and into real connection. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on these questions: Where might you be listening for information, when what your partner really needs is to be listened to as a person? And how might your relationships change if feeling heard became the goal, not winning the conversation? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Communication Problems Persist in Relationships 01:02 The Japanese Art of Listening and How It Changes Relationships 02:56 Speaking vs Listening: Who Is Responsible for Understanding? 05:18 How Listening Impacts Relational Health and Healing 08:35 “Kiku” and Listening With 14 Hearts: Hearing Information vs Hearing a Person 16:10 Listening Skills That Build Emotional Intimacy 19:31 Why Conflict Happens When We Don't Feel Heard 25:17 How Expectations Shape What We Hear 28:50 How to Be a Good Listener in Love and Relationships 35:27 Staying Present: The Hardest and Most Important Listening Skill 40:19 Listening as Care: How Being Heard Supports Healing and Repair If you'd like support as you practice listening differently and creating more understanding in your relationships, I'd love to help you find the right next step. I've created a simple, private way for you to connect with the support that fits you best. You can answer a few quick questions, and we'll help you schedule a free consultation with the right counselor or coach on my team.

    Growing Without Scaling: Christy Hunter's Strategy for Building Photo Walk

    Christy Hunter started Photo Walk Nashville seven years ago after discovering Airbnb Experiences, combining her photography skills with local knowledge to create tours that capture memories for travelers. What began as open photo shoots quickly evolved as she learned to segment products for different customer types—bachelorette parties, couples, solo travelers, dog owners, and corporate groups.The conversation covers her product development journey, including early mistakes like mixing incompatible customer types and learning when to say no. Christy emphasizes the importance of local partnerships, sharing examples like teaming up with cosmetic brand Winky Lux for a home base and an apartment complex for rooftop access.On marketing, Christy shares her successful TikTok strategy: having team member Gina speak directly to camera as if she were a past guest ("You have to do this one thing in Nashville..."), which drove multiple viral videos and direct bookings. She also discusses influencer marketing from both sides—as a tour operator and as an influencer herself—stressing the importance of clear communication, doing research on engagement rates, and not asking for specific deliverables.Christy expanded to Charleston this year when a team member relocated, keeping the same operational model rather than franchising. She's also building Go To Nashville, an OTA reselling partner experiences through Tour Base's affiliate system. Looking ahead, she's focused on increasing capacity utilization rather than geographic expansion, and launching a consulting business to help other photographers and retailers enter the tourism space.Top 10 TakeawaysShe learned to segment products by customer type after mixing incompatible groups. Couples from Ohio and bachelorette parties on the same tour didn't work. She created separate experiences for bachelorette parties, dog owners, proposals, and corporate groups. She also had to add rules like no showing up intoxicated.Local partnerships solved operational problems. She partnered with Winky Lux cosmetics to use their store as a tour base. She partnered with an apartment complex to do one event per month in exchange for building access, free parking, gym, pool, and exclusive rooftop access for a champagne add-on.She met business partner Gina through Airbnb host meetups. Gina developed scheduling systems for Photo Walk and now leads their TikTok strategy. They found a part-time scheduling manager who is also one of their hosts to keep operations in the family.Styled shoots solve the content creation problem. Designate one day per quarter or year, hire models (friends and family work), hire a photographer, and simulate the tour experience. Creating content during real tours is too difficult.Their TikTok strategy: Gina speaks as if she's a past guest. She says "you have to do this one thing in Nashville" direct to camera. They had multiple viral videos and saw direct booking surges. They repeat the same hook for different demographics. TikTok shows it to different audiences each time.Influencer marketing is about clear communication and research. Look at engagement rates, not follower counts. Check if they have real followers by looking at views relative to follower count. Don't ask for specific deliverables. Show them a good time and they'll naturally post. Get expectations in writing.She hires photographers who are connectors and storytellers first. Technical skill matters, but being a people person is more important. She uses live view mode to avoid putting the camera between her and the guest. She tells guests upfront she has posing ideas so they relax.She tracks booking sources through Peak's intake form.

    Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this 2 Be Better Podcast deep dive, Chris and Peaches break down what the Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine actually are, and why they are about energy and polarity, not just gender or body parts. They walk through a full framework of feminine energy as intuition, nurture, receptivity, beauty, empathy, and creative flow, and contrast it with the shadow side of chaotic emotions, manipulation, people pleasing, lack of boundaries, and losing yourself in others' needs. You will hear them connect Divine Feminine energy to Mother Earth, discernment, nervous system regulation, and learning to see emotions as sacred messengers instead of weakness, while also calling out toxic feminine traits and how they show up in gossip, drama, and constant validation seeking. From there they unpack Sacred Masculine energy as presence, integrity, direction, discipline, protection, courage, and stability, and then expose its shadow side of rigidity, control, domination, emotional distance, and achievement over presence. They show how Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine work together in real relationships and marriages, including lesbian and gay couples, and explain why polarity, safety, trust, and leadership matter more than trendy “gender role” arguments. You will get practical ideas for getting into your feminine energy with creativity, dance, art, self care, boundaries, journaling, and breathwork, and stepping into sacred masculine with physical health, stretching, mental discipline, purpose, and actually using the knowledge you have. If you are searching for divine feminine healing, masculine energy in relationships, polarity in marriage, conscious partnership, shadow work, or spiritual growth in love, this episode gives you a complete blueprint, not just vague internet quotes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

Desire feels mismatched. Emotional connection fades. Sex becomes pressured or avoided. In this episode, we explore why intimacy isn't something you find again — it's something you build over time through emotional safety, curiosity, and shared experiences.We talk about how play and novelty reduce defensiveness, why new experiences create powerful bonding moments in the brain, and how small, realistic shifts (not grand gestures) can dramatically improve emotional, physical, and sexual connection. We also break down the different types of intimacy — emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual, and intellectual — and help couples clarify what they want their intimate relationship to feel like now.This episode offers a practical framework for:Letting go of old intimacy stories that no longer fitCreating a shared vision for connection that honors both partnersBuilding habits that foster desire without pressure or obligationAddressing real-life blocks like stress, parenting, mental health, and time constraintsShifting intimacy from a task into an experience of connection and pleasureWe also emphasize that intimacy is a living practice, not a one-time conversation. Couples who revisit these conversations regularly — with curiosity instead of defensiveness — build more secure, resilient relationships over time.In This Episode, We Cover:Why play and novelty are essential for long-term intimacyHow to create a new intimacy story instead of chasing the pastThe role of emotional safety in rebuilding desireHow stress, avoidance, and pressure quietly sabotage connectionPractical ways to bring intimacy into everyday life (not just the bedroom)A simple reflection exercise to identify how you feel desiredAction Step for ListenersTake a few minutes to reflect — alone or with your partner:How do I feel desired emotionally?How do I feel desired physically?How do I feel desired sexually?These answers can become the foundation of your new intimacy story.Want More Support?Our Relationship Renovation at Home Patreon includes a full, step-by-step intimacy series designed to help couples build emotional safety, repair communication, and create lasting connection at their own pace.

    Most couples think they're “broken” because they argue about money. The truth? You're probably more normal than you realize—you've just never been taught how to talk about money without going to war.In this 12 Days of Giving episode, I sit back down with financial therapist Ashley Quamme to walk through a real couple we'll call Mark and Mary—late 30s, three kids, decent income, solid marriage… until money comes up. He's the anxious saver, constantly bracing for the layoff that may never come. She's the practical spender who wants to make memories with their kids and not live like everything is on fire. The money isn't the problem. Their stories about money are. ashley-2-2025Ashley takes us into their backstory: Mark's single-mom, count-every-penny upbringing and Mary's “we're fine, we don't talk about money much” childhood. We break down how those early money memories hijack their adult arguments—why he feels panicked when they're not maxing accounts, and why she feels controlled and judged when he questions holiday spending. None of this is “just numbers.” This is nervous systems, fear, and unspoken expectations running the show.Then we get into the actual work: how Ashley helped them stop avoiding each other, set up structured money dates, and build rules of engagement so they're not trying to solve their financial life at 9:30 p.m. half-asleep and pissed off. We talk about what to do when you hit a stalemate, why “we'll talk about it later” usually means “never,” and how they finally landed on a savings target that calmed his anxiety without killing all joy for her.This is not some dramatic, on-the-brink-of-divorce situation. This is a normal couple that refused to settle for “fine” and chose to do the work before things blew up. If you and your partner are mostly good—but money convos feel tense, defensive, or like the same fight on repeat—this episode is your mirror and your playbook.

    So many people carry the quiet fear that their trauma makes them flawed… broken… or unlovable.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples (formerly known as Get Your Sexy Back for Couples), we bring a grounded, compassionate truth: trauma doesn't mean you're damaged. It means you're human. It means your nervous system adapted to survive.They share vulnerable stories, body-based insights, and the patterns they see inside couples' work. From the shutdowns, the reactions, the fears, and why these aren't personality flaws but protective strategies that were never witnessed or supported.This episode is an invitation into self-compassion, emotional truth, and the kind of partnership that makes healing possible. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy most people misunderstand trauma and assume it only applies to the “big stuff,” missing the emotional paper cuts that shape adult intimacyHow your nervous system creates protective patterns and why shutdown, defensiveness, or reactivity are intelligent survival responsesHow trauma shows up most clearly in relationships through conflict, avoidance, disconnection, and fear of vulnerabilityWhy integration and not erasing the past, create emotional safety, embodiment, and deeper intimacyWhat happens when you finally feel safe enough for your trauma patterns to reveal themselves in partnershipHow conscious couples support each other's healing through presence, curiosity, grounding, and truth Trauma doesn't make you damaged… it makes you human — and when held with love, it becomes the pathway to deeper connection. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

    When one partner grows faster, it doesn't mean the relationship is failing.   Uneven healing is one of the most painful dynamics couples face. One partner finds language, boundaries, and insight. The other is still trying to feel safe. This episode isn't about who's “ahead.” It's about how healing actually unfolds, and how couples stay connected when growth isn't synchronized. Because growth isn't a competition, and pressure isn't intimacy. If this feels familiar, this episode is for you. Listen, reflect, and notice what lands.

    In this 200th episode, I focus on the real pain points retirees face and the importance of planning ahead. Drawing from years of conversations with clients and listeners, today's discussion highlights how assumptions about retirement often don't match reality, especially when it comes to taxes, lifestyle choices, and healthcare. Taxes remain one of the biggest surprises, as many retirees discover they're not in a lower bracket after all. Withdrawals from 401ks, IRAs, and pensions are taxed as ordinary income, and Social Security can also be partially taxable. At the same time, couples must navigate differing views on lifestyle and legacy, whether to enjoy their savings fully or prioritize leaving an inheritance, making estate planning documents and open conversations essential. Healthcare and cash management round out the episode's themes. Medicare rules change frequently, and waiting until the last minute can lead to costly mistakes, while keeping too much money in low‑interest accounts or idle cash can erode value against inflation. The takeaway is clear: thoughtful, proactive planning across taxes, legacy, healthcare, and investments is the key to building a secure and successful retirement. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... (00:00) Intro. (04:34) Cost of Relocating in Retirement. (12:57) Retirement Saving Loan Strategies. (16:16) Taxes in Retirement. (24:04) Market Expectations and Strategies. (24:04) Cash management. (29:35) Healthcare Planning After Retirement. Planning Ahead for Taxes in Retirement Retirement planning often surprises people when it comes to taxes. Many assume they'll be in a lower bracket once they stop working, but withdrawals from 401ks, IRAs, and pensions are taxed as ordinary income, and Social Security can also be partially taxable. That's why it's so important to build a tax‑efficient withdrawal strategy ahead of time, rather than relying on assumptions that may not hold true. Lifestyle and Legacy: Defining Your Retirement Goals  Another key theme is lifestyle and legacy. When planning for your retirement it is important to recognize what your goals are. Your goals drive your decisions for how you want to set up your retirement. Will you be relocating? Will you be giving away your money? Some retirees want to enjoy their savings fully, while others prioritize leaving an inheritance, even if it means sacrificing their own comfort. Couples often have different views on this, which makes open conversations and proper estate planning documents essential. Without wills, trusts, or powers of attorney, families can face costly probate battles and emotional strain, so addressing legacy goals early helps prevent conflict later. From Cash Reserves to Medicare: Proactive Steps for Peace of Mind Emergencies and healthcare planning is another area where retirees need to be proactive. It may be unreasonable to have large amounts of money in cash or low interest yielding accounts. Having a liquid emergency fund is essential but you may benefit from having your money growing for you. Additionally, Medicare rules change frequently, and waiting until the last minute can lead to expensive mistakes. The podcast highlights how comparing options, even for something as simple as prescriptions, can save thousands of dollars. Preparing ahead for coverage, understanding what's included, and exploring alternatives ensure retirees aren't blindsided by unexpected expenses and can maintain peace of mind in this new stage of life.

But we love a good conversation.In this live 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches start with real life wins and a behind the scenes look at building a traditional family and future homestead, from cutting almost $100,000 of debt and lowering monthly expenses to their goal of buying land by the end of 2026. They talk about Patreon growth, retreats, kids evolving emotionally, and Chris's upcoming daily affirmation book with light lunar and planetary touches, giving you a grounded picture of what intentional marriage, parenting, and money stewardship actually look like in real time. You also hear a powerful success story from a fiancé who carried his partner through multiple deaths in the family, grad school, and even a very sick dog, then used the podcast to lose weight, repair their sex life, and step into traditional marriage roles with more communication, intimacy, and leadership. From there they dive deep into a 25 year old woman's email about leaving an abusive relationship, growing up with a narcissistic mother, living with BPD, and feeling stuck in hyper independence while secretly craving a traditional marriage as a stay at home mom, homemaker, and submissive wife. Chris and Peaches unpack shame, ego, and family control, challenge the “never depend on a man” narrative, and give practical tools for healing narcissistic abuse, setting boundaries, asking for help daily, and finding therapy and community that fits a more traditional woman. They also walk through her quarter life crisis, fear that it is “too late” to find a husband, and her early steps toward a personal relationship with Christ and God, explaining how to read the Bible, question religion, and build faith without surrendering your mind to a pastor or denomination. If you are a hyper independent woman who wants to be a traditional wife, a stay at home mom, and a homemaker, or you are navigating narcissistic family dynamics, abusive exes, BPD, or late in life faith, this Christian leaning relationship and marriage podcast episode will speak directly to you and give you clear, no nonsense steps forward.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

Neurodivergent men are 9 times more likely than their non-neurodivergent peers to develop an alcohol or substance use/abuse problem. The later in life diagnosed neurodivergent man (with ADHD or ASD) with a co-occurring issue of anxiety and or depression is the most vulnerable to alcohol or substance use, and the risk is higher for those who have suffered untreated childhood trauma. Hear our heart- this is not about shaming or blaming, this is about your healing and being set free! Jon talks about getting to the root of the problem: "Drinking is not the problem to solve- the unresolved issue that leads you to drinking is the problem to solve." As Leslie Vernick has said, "Drinking is not a marriage work issue. It is an individual issue that causes marriage problems."Dan and Stephanie feel passionately that marriage work should not be the focus of a couple if there is an active alcohol or substance issue.For the last 15 years, Jonathon M. Seidl (Jon) has been telling stories. In fact, he's written over 10,000 posts in his lifetime, first after helping start the top-50 news site TheBlaze in 2010, then as the editor-in-chief of the popular non-profit I Am Second. He writes, speaks, and consults on the power of storytelling, radical vulnerability, faith, mental health, and addiction.In 2024, he revealed his own struggle with alcohol, explaining how he was the Christian who became an alcoholic, not the other way around. His personal story—from spiraling into addiction to how he climbed out of it— is the focus of his next book, “Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic,” slated for release on October 7, 2025.His previous book on anxiety, “Finding Rest,” instantly became a #1 Amazon bestseller, topping the charts in several categories like anxieties and phobias, mood disorders, and obsessive compulsive disorder. In fact, it shot up to become the #17 new release on all of Amazon and became a top 100 bestseller on all of Amazon as well.Jon has seen how the power of storytelling and radical vulnerability can transform people, businesses, and culture, especially after sharing his own story of battling anxiety, OCD, and alcoholism. His passion is to help people with mental health struggles and addictions, while also sharing what he's learned, telling stories for—and working with—some of the media's biggest names and organizations, including Arthur Brooks, Glenn Beck, Kirk Cameron, and Chip and Joanna Gaines.In addition to his writing, he consults businesses, leaders, and non-profits on how to tell their stories through his digital media and content creation firm, The Veritas Network, and runs a daily devotional called The Veritas Daily. He's also currently finishing his master's in theological studies from Southwestern Seminary (SWBTS) and will graduate in December 2025.Originally from Wisconsin, he lives in Frisco, TX, with his wife, Brett, and his young children, Annie and Jack.

    Depression tanks your libido. Then you finally get help with antidepressants—and your sex drive tanks even more. If this is you, you're not broken. You're dealing with a real, common side effect that nobody wants to talk about.In this episode, I break down the double whammy of depression and SSRIs on your sex life: how depression shuts down motivation (including for sex), why antidepressants compound the problem by affecting serotonin and dopamine, and how orgasm difficulties create a feedback loop that kills desire even further.I also share my personal story—how I dealt with depression, the mental scripts generating self-hatred that my brain was trying to protect me from, and how I got off meds through coaching and massive self-compassion work. Literally re-writing the thoughts in my head changed everything.We cover: what you can actually do about it (medication options, body-based approaches, relationship support), why this isn't your fault, and how to stop choosing between mental health and a satisfying sex life.Quick note: I'm not a medical doctor—this is educational, not medical advice. Always talk to your doctor about medication decisions.Get my free guide: 5 Steps to Start Solving Desire Differences (Without Blame or Shame), A Practical Starting Point for Individuals and Couples, at https://laurajurgens.com/libido Find out more about me at https://laurajurgens.com/

    Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches sit down in Christmas onesies and react to one of their earliest traditional marriage videos, breaking down how far they have come in communication, accountability, and gender roles since season one. You will watch them cringe at old ego, laugh at their own anxiety, and then double down on traditional marriage advice, protector–provider–presider masculine leadership, and what a stay at home wife actually brings to the table in a modern relationship. They unpack division of labor in marriage, decompression time for both partners, mental health and “bad days” with chores, and why they still believe men should pay for the first date while also warning broke men that they should fix their finances before jumping into dating. If you are searching for real talk on traditional gender roles, trad wife life, dating standards, first date rules, time management as a stay at home mom, and how to build a functional household instead of keeping score over socks and dishes, this reaction episode shows their growth in real time and gives you language you can use in your own relationship. From there, they read and dissect a heavy email from a mother of four whose partner has checked out of the family, become obsessed with crypto trading, and started emotionally abusing her sons over money, using it as a live case study in stepdad behavior, blended families, and what emotional abuse and financial manipulation actually look like in real life. Chris and Peaches talk through exit strategies, why your kids' safety and emotional stability come before keeping a man, how addiction to charts and gambling-level crypto risk destroys connection, and why therapy, accountability, and doing your own “dirty work” after trauma matter before you start dating again. They also revisit homeschooling versus daycare for special needs kids, building a tribe through Patreon, retreats, men's and women's coaching groups, and why shared purpose and clear standards make traditional marriage, stay at home motherhood, and provider masculinity actually work. If you are looking for blunt relationship coaching on traditional marriage, stay at home mom life, step-parent dynamics, crypto addiction in relationships, and setting real non-negotiables in dating and marriage, this episode will hit hard and give you practical tools, not fluff.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

    In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches kick off Season 4 with real talk about what it actually takes to build a regulated, connected life and marriage. They share behind-the-scenes updates on their growing community, retreats, and content, including the upcoming “I Am Whole” women's retreat with seminars on feminine embodiment, devotional motherhood and wifehood, shadow work, nervous system regulation, and self-liberation. If you're craving feminine energy work, women's retreats, self-care, and practical marriage tools from a husband and wife who actually live this, this conversation sets the tone for intentional growth in 2026 and beyond.From there, they dive deep into a YouTube comment about a defensive husband with childhood trauma and unpack what “30 years of conditioning” really means, how reactivity forms, and how to talk to a defensive partner without blowing up the relationship. Using real examples from their marriage and a powerful email from a Patreon member in a 22-year trauma-bonded relationship, they tackle the hard questions: how to stop living in survival mode, how to break generational trauma for your kids, what the roommate phase really is, when you're just not trying versus when it's actually time to let go, and how to rebuild intimacy by choice, not by accident. If you've ever wondered whether to stay, leave, or fight for your marriage, this episode gives you grounded marriage advice, communication scripts, mindset shifts, and perspective on healing trauma in relationships so you can make a clear, conscious decision about your future.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

    Book a Discovery Call for Relationship Renovation CoachingOrder Relationship Renovation at Home Manual from AmazonJoin Our Patreon CommunityTake the Emotional Safety Assessment QuizIn Part 3 of our Intimacy Gap series, we explore two of the most powerful and most misunderstood ingredients of lasting intimacy: curiosity and emotional safety.So many couples get stuck in the same painful loop: mismatched desire, uncomfortable conversations, and the fear that they'll never get back on the same page. But true intimacy doesn't start with sex, it starts with the emotional safety to be vulnerable, honest, and seen.In this episode, we dive deep into how curiosity becomes a bridge across the intimacy gap… and how emotional safety transforms the hardest conversations into opportunities for closeness.In this episode, we cover:Why emotional safety is the #1 predictor of long-term relationship satisfactionHow curiosity helps couples reconnect when intimacy feels out of reachWhat it looks like to approach hard conversations with “soft eyes”How hormone changes, stress, and life transitions impact desire — and how to talk about itSelf-regulation vs. co-regulation: what each partner needs to bring into sensitive conversationsHow couples can avoid falling into repetitive patterns that shut down intimacyA real, personal story from EJ & Tarah about navigating desire discrepancies with vulnerabilityWhy repair matters more than getting it perfectPractical scripts for bringing up intimacy concerns without triggering defensivenessKey Takeaways:Curiosity is the antidote to fear. It keeps your heart open when patterns feel stuck.Emotional safety comes before desire. Without it, intimacy cannot thrive.Your partner is not the enemy. You're two people navigating a shared emotional landscape.Soft eyes, gentle tone, and asking “Is now a good time?” can instantly shift a conversation.Self-regulation is essential. You can't co-regulate as a couple if you're dysregulated individually.Intimacy evolves. You're not trying to get back to what it was — you're building what's next.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/he-said-she-said/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

    Throw back to season 1 ep 11. In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches break down modern dating, monogamy, and why you should never enter a “committed” relationship if you still crave constant novelty and validation from other people. They unpack the difference between hookup culture, serial dating, and actually dating to marry, and they call out the mindset of “I just need something different” for what it is. You'll hear a raw conversation on monogamy vs polyamory, loyalty, sexual boredom, how to have honest conversations about sex and desire, and why you should not sacrifice your boundaries just to keep a partner who wants multiple sexual partners. They also walk through what healthy first dates should really look like, how to vet someone's character, red flags like being late, lack of ambition, constant victimhood, and why you should be dating to see if someone belongs in your life at all, not just to sleep with them.From there, they get into the hard stuff: how to communicate when you're hurt, how to ask “Do you want to solve or do you want to argue?”, how to use “I” statements without turning them into hidden accusations, and how to stop weaponizing pain in your marriage. They respond to real listener emails on first dates, blended families, stay-at-home motherhood with an overworked night-shift husband, resentment, lack of gratitude, and the brutal reality of poor time management and no boundaries. If you're looking for straight, no-nonsense relationship advice on healthy communication, dating to marry, masculine and feminine roles, standards, boundaries, and building a real partnership instead of living in drama, this episode will hit hard and give you practical perspective you can use today.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.
