Welcome to The Empowered Living Zone, where we explore self-empowerment, personal growth, and the journey to becoming our best selves. In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Heather Browne about the power of communication. Dr. Heather has a doctorate in psychology and is a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 27 years of experience. She is also the author of Speaking with the Heart and a TedX Speaker. Dr. Heather helps people recognize the power of communication as one of our most important skills. Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do. This awareness has allowed her to help others effectively transform communication within themselves and all their relationship.
In this insightful episode, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Robin Buckley, a couples coach and expert in strategic relationship development. Dr. Robin explains the key differences between couples coaching and traditional therapy, emphasizing coaching's forward-focused and proactive approach. She introduces the concept of "Strategic Love Partnerships," advocating for the use of deliberate plans and strategies to strengthen relationships. Tune in to learn practical exercises, such as creating a mission statement, to enhance communication and connection with your partner. About the Guest: Dr. Robin Buckley is a certified couples coach and thought leader in relationship development. Her innovative framework for couples coaching empowers partners to craft strategic plans to grow and strengthen their relationships. Passionate about helping couples build lasting connections, Dr. Robin challenges conventional norms by emphasizing the importance of strategy, communication, and shared values in romantic relationships. Reach: http://www.igsouth.com/ Key Takeaways: Difference Between Coaching and Therapy: Traditional therapy addresses past traumas or crises, such as addiction or loss, while coaching focuses on the present and future, helping couples grow proactively. Strategic Love Partnerships: Relationships thrive when couples treat them like a shared venture, with plans, goals, and strategies, rather than relying solely on love and attraction. Mission Statement for Relationships: Crafting a relationship mission statement helps partners align their goals, values, and vision for the future, providing a clear "compass" for the relationship. Importance of External Guidance: Coaching provides objective insights and tools for resolving challenges, enhancing communication, and achieving shared goals. Practical Tools for Communication: Developing a shared mission statement is a powerful first step in fostering clarity, alignment, and mutual understanding in a relationship. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a structured, actionable approach to building a stronger and more fulfilling relationship. Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

An extraordinary couple, my clients, Cody & Cristina join us to share their miraculous experiences as a direct result of understanding and loving their own individual inner-SELVES, first. With a new baby on the way, Cristina was a week late going into natural labor.....That is, until we dug into the depths of her UNconscious mind to see what was REALLY stopping her from experiencing the childbirth of her dreams!! At first glance, Cristina's delayed labor seemed to be caused by her stress and circumstances. Yet, in acutality, it was something much deeper that she could not see. It was hidden blindspots of emotional trauma stemming from her past..... It's never ever what meets the eye, it's REALLY what meets the brain! What meets the brain is UNconscious FEAR, which causes an inability to get what we truly want in life, to feel a sense of FREEDOM & HAPPINESS. Healthy, happy, loving relationship are created through profoundly understanding YourSELF and others, while exercising mutually sympathetic LISTENING. Meaning, hearing and allowing the other to freely express themselves with no preconceived notions, judgement or criticism. Actually LISTENING to what they are saying, NOT what you are hearing in your own head! All the while, never taking anything personally!!!! Cristina shares a great example of this on our podcast! Easier said, than done. But, learning and training to actively listen is radically worth it because it creates a rapturously intimate LOVE connection that penetrates the depths of your SOUL.
In this episode our good friends, Jordan and Claire, share with us how they each grew in the ability to care for each others needs despite the fear that their own would never get met. Jenna and I (Aaron), have done a number of Couples Coaching sessions with them in which we witnessed a masterful use of the communication tools in the midst of processing pain and feeling defensiveness.They discuss how to properly validate, have compassion and help the other person feel seen and heard before passing "the talking stick". They also share how they've learned to ride the wave of defensiveness and triggers that inevitably happen when their spouse shares pain involving them.Links for upcoming courses and coaching options: The Habit Lab Mastery Course Online Small Group - Porn Recovery Course Couples Coaching, Habit Coaching, Porn Recovery Coaching, Emotional & Relational Health Coaching >>> Would you consider financially supporting our shows?

We're digging into how to improve liver health and what you need to know when you are TTC. One of the themes we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is a sluggish liver. If your liver is not functioning properly, it may not be able to remove estrogen from your body. This leads to estrogen reabsorption, which results in hormone imbalance. Some signs of a sluggish liver include fatigue, headaches, poor digestion, cravings, weight gain around the middle and more. So how do we get our liver in tip-top shape to balance hormones and get pregnant naturally? Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is our clinical advisor and an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility, your body is desperately trying to tell you something. Focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or, if you do need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success. In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Why a healthy liver is important when you are TTC 2) Which genetic variants are tied to the liver (and how to support them so you can optimize liver function) 3) Symptoms of poor liver function and specific blood markers to review to ensure they are in the optimal range 4) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations for a healthy liver --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/ Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii Ultimate Diet for Egg and Sperm Health - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/the-ultimate-diet-for-egg-and-sperm-health Want to Get Pregnant This Year - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/want-to-get-pregnant-this-year Top Fertility Supplements You Need To Get Pregnant This Year - Access your free guide here at www.suppguideffl.com --- Where should I start to optimize pregnancy success?

We're digging into how to regulate your menstrual cycle and get pregnant this year. Missing and irregular periods can cause a lot of frustration and worry when you're trying to conceive. You've probably already tried a lot of solutions to restore your period health, but nothing is working. What if those general changes were only wasting time? Today, we're breaking down the reasons behind your period irregularities and amenorrhea and specific steps you can take right now to restore your period and get pregnant this year. Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is our clinical advisor and an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility, your body is desperately trying to tell you something. Focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or, if you do need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success. In this episode, you'll learn: 1) What constitutes a healthy period (length, colour, frequency) 2) What spotting means (what to look for and when to get further testing) 3) Top reasons for irregular and absent periods 4) Comprehensive bloodwork and which markers to get tested 5) The role of gut health in your period and which supplements to consider --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/ Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii Ultimate Diet for Egg and Sperm Health - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/the-ultimate-diet-for-egg-and-sperm-health Want to Get Pregnant This Year - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/want-to-get-pregnant-this-year Top Fertility Supplements You Need To Get Pregnant This Year - Access your free guide here at www.suppguideffl.com --- Where should I start to optimize pregnancy success?

The balance of personal growth and contributing to a thriving romantic relationship is all about being comfortable in your own skin, without seeking external validation, yet embracing our innate need for connection. It's independence and interdependence…but not co-dependence. I'm such a believer in this that I co-wrote an entire book about it called “You Grow Me” (link to buy below). This episode is a cross-podcast with Lisa Carpenter's “Full Frontal Living” podcast (find it here). Lisa is a remarkable coach who helped me through one of the most challenging periods of my life (I tell that story in this episode). Here, we focus on creating safety within oneself - reconnecting with the body, nervous system regulation and the massive importance of personal responsibility within a relationship. In this episode, Lisa and I talk about: Creating safety within: the foundation of self-connection Self-discovery and healing from trauma The impact of childhood experiences on adult relationships Navigating jealousy and building trust The gender gap in personal development Detachment Why a healthy relationship can be as confronting as a traumatic one Learning to listen to your intuition The presence of exes in a new relationship The grief of finally getting what you want Jealousy in a relationship Taking personal responsibility for everything in your relationship My new book “You Grow Me: The Next Level Human Philosophy of Love, Sex and Romantic Connection” co-written by Dr. Jade Teta (Next Level Human podcast) is available now! It's a big “f**k you” to unrealistic Hollywood love stories, and instead offers a fresh perspective on how personal growth is intertwined with romance.

When it comes to our personal growth and development, many people get caught in a trap of “doing” instead of “being.” Doing is when we learn the things, do the homework, and then force our actions based on doing exactly what we think we're expected to…even if it feels inauthentic. But in order for the work to actually work, we have to embody it. We have to literally BE it. And to do that, we have to lean as hard as possible into our most authentic self. Today we're breaking down how to tell the difference between “doing” and “being” and the incredible rewards we attract - relationships, opportunities etc. - that come as a result of the innate magnetic nature of being the truest version of ourselves. In this episode, we're talking about: The difference between doing and being Why so many people struggle with doing instead of being How to attract the right relationships and opportunities How our energy affects our communication Living life to the fullest Accepting exactly where you are right now Why authenticity is so attractive An exercise to pinpoint where you feel most alive If you want to work with me to get to your point of “being” opposed to “doing” I have private 1-1 coaching spaces available to focus on this very subject. I've worked with a number of women lately on unleashing their own authenticity and the breakthroughs have been life-changing.

We're digging into how to improve preconception health when we are TTC. It feels like we need to rush to medicated cycles, IUI or IVF to fast-track the chances of having our baby. After all, this is what happens when we receive a diagnosis of low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency. At Fab Fertile, we're not anti-IVF; we're pro-health.

Conflict is going to happen in a healthy relationship. And more often than not, conflict starts with something laughably small - from doing dishes, to making food, and even how to decoratively light a podcast. But underneath the menial cause of conflict always lies a much deeper need that isn't being met. I'm joined on this episode by my partner, Kelly Gardner, a Relationship Coach and Men's Group Facilitator, and as you'll hear, we couldn't even record this podcast without a small conflict of our own. Yes, it was something super small (how to decoratively light this episode for video) which we playfully recount, but then take you through our thorough resolution and beautiful potential of the conflict repair process. Kelly and I also have spots open now for 2-on-2 Couples Coaching (apply here). These sessions are focused on breaking down walls, solidifying your relationship foundation, improving your sex life and designing the most supportive, fulfilling and loving relationship. In this episode, Kelly and I talk about: Why conflict is so often over small things One partner taking leadership on certain things in a relationship Compassionate communication Assuming positive intent in others Trusting your partner through conflict Expressing your needs and asking for your needs to be met How to fully resolve a conflict in a relationship The repair process of conflict Discovering breakthroughs through conflict The essential elements of repairing conflict in a relationship How conflict is an opportunity to deepen your relationship Also, my new book is officially out!

We're digging into how to improve egg health if you have low AMH and/or high FSH. Maybe you've been told you have poor egg quality. You may have experienced irregular menstrual cycles, poor fertilization rates, low AMH, high FSH, low levels of estradiol, chromosomal disorders and pregnancy loss. This may have sent you down a rabbit hole of information overload. After all, there is so much generalized information about how to improve egg quality. But what if there were specific steps you could take right now to improve your egg quality?

We're digging into how to navigate pregnancy loss with a focus on mental and emotional well-being. Women still experience enormous stigma and shame when they lose a baby, and they are often not encouraged to talk about the loss. This can lead to isolation and disconnection from a partner, family and friends, as well as feeling trapped in grief. What are the signs of negative coping or even avoidance? And how do we cope with pregnancy loss when we are still trying to conceive? Our Fab Fertile Mindset Coaches, Samantha and Fatima, join me today!

We're digging into medical jargon associated with pregnancy loss. Navigating the medical system during pregnancy loss can be overwhelming. That's why we wanted to break down the medical jargon so you can be your own advocate. Also, you may notice that we use the term pregnancy loss instead of miscarriage. This is because you did nothing to miscarry your pregnancy. Pregnancy loss is not your fault. Let's learn how to navigate the confusing medical jargon associated with pregnancy loss so you can ask for the care that is right for you.

It's tempting to want to play the role of “superhero” in a relationship - the guardian, the savior, the teacher, or the protector. But over-prioritizing their needs over your own often has a villainous effect on a healthy relationship. Because if all of your focus is on their safety, wellbeing and nurturing, you then neglect what's more important - your own. My partner, Kelly Gardner, a Relationship Coach and Men's Group Facilitator, and I have identified two (comically labeled) archetypes of the kinds of superheroes we often see in relationships: -Captain Save-A-Hoe: the man here to “save” and “heal” a broken partner. -Queen Change-A-Dick: the woman on a mission to help the lost boy grow into a great man. Today we'll explain why you need to stop prioritizing your partner's needs over your own, and how the foundation of a healthy relationship is really built on focusing on yourself, first. In this episode, Kelly and I are talking about: Why men often want to feel like a “savior” in a relationship Power dynamics in relationships Why women often put aside their own needs in a relationship How to balance giving and receiving in a relationship Expanding your sense of self in a relationship Waiting to be chosen by someone How prioritizing yourself first contributes to a better relationship Managing sexual energy inside and outside your relationship Including your partner in your life How to make your partner feel chosen Apply for Couples Coaching with Kelly & Emily CONNECT WITH KELLY GARDNER Website: https://www.kellygardner.com Instagram @iamkellygardner FB: https://www.facebook.com/connectwithkellygardner CONNECT WITH EMILY Book A Private Coaching Call With Emily To Work Together Get Your Free Guide “The Four Tools Missing From Your Relationship” here Join Emily's email list here Instagram: @emilygoughcoach Email: info@emilygoughcoaching.com REFERENCES Episode 377 | Hope After Heartbreak: Our Love Story With Kelly Gardner Episode 359 | Building A Community Of Better & More Present Fathers With Kelly Gardner Episode 364 | Not All Men, But Almost Always With Traver Boehm Of Man UNcivilized

It's not uncommon for us to be a bit unsure of who we are as an individual.Remember Julia Roberts in Runaway Bride?We grow up being told who we are and wonder who we are to question those opinions.Based on the surrounding culture, we become who we think we need to be to be good employees, moms, dads, friends, and family members.We may even attract our spouse by being the person we thought we needed to be to keep them interested in us. "I'll take my eggs the way you do!"Eventually, in our marriages, this way of being can get in the way of an intimate connection with your spouse.This week on the AwakenYou in Your Marriage podcast, I'm diving deep into the essence of self-discovery and its profound impact on our most cherished relationships.In a world where self-awareness is the compass guiding us toward growth, we're here to explore:

Examining our sexual template, these are the messages we received growing up through young-adult and adulthood that shape how we see ourselves and our sexual selves. In this episode, we talked about rewriting that template, examining our needs for emotional and physical closeness, confronting sexually demeaning messages, incorporating sexual touch into relationships, communicating desire, having wonderful sexual experiences, and then figuring out how to revive a bedroom where nothing is happening.

This is the final episode of a three-part couples coaching series with Claire and Jimmy together. In today's call, Christine asks both Claire and Jimmy how they can acknowledge and appreciate each other more while empowering them to take responsibility for their childhood wounds and how they are playing out in their relationship. [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode376] If you are in a relationship and you find yourself continuing to loop on the same argument over and over again, dig a little deeper to discover what is underneath it. Figure out where you may not be taking responsibility for your stuff and whether you are expecting your partner to heal it. Also, ask yourself where you may not be compassionate for their stuff and where you may be missing the ways they show up for you, and how you can appreciate it more. It is not our job in a relationship to heal our partner's wounds but it is our responsibility as a loving, conscious partner to understand and empathize with them. It's not to tolerate toxic behavior but to adjust our behavior and our request to show we are empathetic and understanding of who our partner is. The process of relationship is to continue to work on ourselves, work out our own triggers, and move toward our partner. Every relationship takes comprise. Love is a verb, not just the words. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you in a relationship and you keep looping on the same argument over and over again? Do you have a sense that the argument, the disagreement, or the trigger you're having could be linked to a deeper issue? Are you willing to compromise in your relationship or do you just want it your way? Are you ignoring the ways your partner does love you and does show up for you because it is not exactly the way you want it? Claire & Jimmy's Question: Claire & Jimmy together. Claire & Jimmy's Key Insights and Ahas: Claire triggers Jimmy to put his walls up and he shuts down. Jimmy's version of being committed doesn't match up with Claire's. Claire is yearning to have Jimmy all-in, in the relationship. Intimacy is scary for Jimmy. They are helping each other heal. Claire is scared she can't get her needs met in their relationship. They both realize they need to make some changes. Jimmy is sensitive to disappointing people and timid about the level of commitment Claire wants. They have a coffee date, meditate together, and relax in the hot tub at night. How to Get Over It and On With It: Claire can acknowledge all the things Jimmy is doing right. Every night, Jimmy can tell Claire why he loves her. Claire can give Jimmy time to feel safer in the relationship. Show a greater level of empathy and understanding to each other. Jimmy can talk to Claire with the kindness and compassion he shows his daughters. Claire can have compassion for Jimmy as he is trying to figure things out.

This episode is the second of a three-part couples coaching series. Christine coaches Claire and Jimmy separately, and then together in Part 3. In today's call, with Jimmy, she explores the things from his childhood that may make commitment a bit hard for him. [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode375] It is okay if we have conflict. It is okay if plans need to be rearranged. It is okay if you unintentionally disappoint someone. There is a difference between promising someone you will be somewhere and not showing up versus having to renegotiate an agreement. It is reframing conflict into clarification. Because not every situation, conversation, or engagement with someone that we think is going to be stressful is. If we go in thinking something is going to be confrontational, that the other person is going to be upset, or that it is not going to go well, we limit the possibilities. But if we go in seeking clarification, or as a renegotiation of a commitment, then it becomes an entirely different conversation. When we find a safe space on our own, we don't necessarily default to an avoidant attachment style, although it can happen. What we default to is that it is safer on our own. Intimacy or really committing to making plans is challenging. If we add in that we don't want to disappoint anyone as a sort of reason or even a subconscious excuse not to make plans, not to get closer, then we have a great wall of protection built around us. It can prevent us from going to deeper levels of intimacy with others. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you sometimes commitment-phobic? Do you love the idea of plans but when it comes to making them, it's hard, or wish your partner would make plans and you don't understand why they don't? Do you relate to being a lone wolf and find it hard to be in relationship because you sometimes do better on your own? And, although you want love, commitment, and relationship, at the same time you don't want to disappoint anyone? Do you not do things for fear of disappointing people but then you end up disappointing them anyway? Jimmy's Question: Jimmy wonders if there isn't more at play when he and Claire struggle with planning things together. Jimmy's Key Insights and Ahas: When he gets pressed or pushed he feels blocked and withdraws. He is worried his responsibilities hinder him from showing up responsibly. He fears letting Claire down. He is taking steps to adjust his work calendar. His schedule to see his children is fluid. It is important that he shows up responsibly for work. His father wasn't present for him in childhood. He wants to show up for his daughters. He has a pattern of avoiding conflict. He wants harmony in his life. At 14, he helped parent his siblings and worked outside of the home. He didn't have anyone looking out for him growing up. He enjoys being committed but not committed. He likes to be spontaneous. He can see why Claire feels the way she does. He is scared of intimacy. His identity, confidence, and worth are tied to his work. He has an opportunity for intimacy. How to Get Over It and On With It: Reframe how he thinks about conflict. Think about renegotiating plans as clarifying conversations. Ask 14-year-old Jimmy what he is scared of. Consider what kind of relationship he desires.

This episode is the first of a three-part couples coaching series. Christine coaches Claire and Jimmy separately, and then together in Part 3. In today's call, Claire reveals she would like Jimmy to make plans with her and make her a priority in his life. Christine uncovers some childhood patterns that may be at play in Claire's current relationship. [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode374] When there is something that is bothering us and we are unable to shift it, we need to dig deeper. It is normal for us to be able to identify what is going on with someone else yet still to be blind to our own blocks. When we finally see it we realize how obvious it was but it is hard to see. We often just want to notice the current problem and fix our relationship, versus going back to see what it reminds us of in our past. Things in our lives will continue to be frustrating until we unpack the message they are illuminating. When we take the time to work on ourselves first, often it offers more clarity about issues in our relationships. We can't work on issues in our relationships without working on ourselves. Consider/Ask Yourself: Is there a constant pattern in your relationship you can't seem to shift? Do you and your partner argue about the same issues over and over? Do you have an unmet need from a parent that is showing up in your relationship? Are you willing to see your partner in a different light? Are you willing to see your partner for who they are, right here, right now? Claire's Question: Claire would like guidance about how she can feel like a priority in her partner's life. Claire's Key Insights and Ahas: Her childhood wound is abandonment. She doesn't feel like a priority in Jimmy's life. When she feels seen by Jimmy she feels empowered in the relationship. She has different patterns than Jimmy. She has been married before. Her father wasn't present every day in her childhood. She is attached to planning and doing things. How to Get Over It and On With It: Practice connection and intimacy with Jimmy in everyday life. Remind her inner child that Jimmy isn't her Dad and she can get love whenever she wants. Let go of planning for a while to accept love in the here and now.
