Our attendees weren't the only ones with huge takeaways. My husband Dan Martell and I recently hosted a couples retreat in Tulum. It's easy to see that when you spend intentional time with couples who live the marriage you want to have, it changes the way you see your own relationship in a powerful way. During this episode, I'll reveal some of the most impactful takeaways I had from our couples retreat. We'll explore why the couples you surround yourself with really matter, and what to look for when you're connecting with your partner. In this episode, you will learn about: What the couples who showed up to this retreat were actually showing up for. The biggest realization I had at this retreat and how it influenced the attendee list. How the people you spend the most time with influence your marriage. The importance of consistent, daily rituals in your marriage and what it can look like. The secret to building safety and trust in your relationship (no grand gestures needed). What you can do to rewire your brain and change the way you see your own marriage. What this retreat reminded me about my own marriage, and why I want this for you.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Send a textIf you or your partner struggles with avoidant attachment, shutting down, going quiet, disappearing emotionally when things get intense, this episode is for you. And if you're the anxious attachment partner on the other side: the one who leans in harder, panics when your partner withdraws, and feels like you can never quite reach them, this is for you too.This is Part 2 of our ongoing series on the avoidant-anxious dynamic and what couples can actually do to break the cycle. In Episode 259, we unpacked the WHY, the nervous system science behind avoidant shutdown, why anxious partners escalate in response, and how both attachment styles end up locked in a painful push-pull loop. Now we go deeper into the HOW.The skill that changes everything? Real listening. Not the nodding-along kind. The kind that requires you to actually enter someone's world, especially when that person has an avoidant attachment style and is rarely, if ever, ready to give you access to their inner world on your timeline.And Staci introduces one of the most powerful frameworks for understanding avoidant-anxious relationships: the museum metaphor. When a partner with avoidant attachment finally opens up, they are giving you a tour of their most sacred inner space. How you show up in that moment, whether you honor it or barrel through it, determines whether the door stays open or closes permanently.In This Episode:The 'Museum Metaphor' a profound reframe for understanding what avoidant attachment really looks like from the insideThe listening self-check: how anxious attachment partners can learn to slow down and actually be present before entering a vulnerable conversationWhy understanding your partner's avoidant attachment patterns is not the same as agreeing with them, and why confusing the two shuts everything downHow anxious attachment behaviors (pursuing, demanding, escalating) unknowingly trigger avoidant shutdown, and what to do insteadThe counterintuitive way to invite a partner with avoidant attachment style to open upPause button phrases that give both avoidant and anxious partners a shared off-ramp before conflict spiralsA special mention of our Better Love Club member Mason, who went from avoidant to willingly open, and the communication strategy that changed everything for himWhether you identify with avoidant attachment, anxious attachment, or you're not even sure yet which pattern fits, this conversation will help you see the dynamic more clearly, and give you real skills to start shifting it.Part 3 is coming.

Is it possible to decide to be happier, and then to go out there and make it happen? Hypnotherapist, author and podcaster Richard Nicholls believes that happiness is, at least in part, a skill to be learned. The more you practise, the easier it becomes.  Of course, each individual's notion of happiness and their genetic capacity to achieve it easily will be very different. That doesn't mean, though, that we can't decide to influence those aspects of happiness that are inside our control. In this classic reissued episode, Andrew and Richard discuss the nature of happiness, and the things we can do to make it more a part of our everyday lives. If You're Looking for More….

What does it really take to turn your vision into reality as an entrepreneur—and how do our early experiences shape the leaders we become? In this episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast, Marcia Dawood sits down with the dynamic Syama Bunten, whose journey from a driven, creative child writing letters to the White House to a powerhouse in the world of retail and brand consulting is nothing short of inspiring. The episode dives deep into how ambition, creativity, and a determination to improve one's circumstances can fuel an extraordinary career.Syama brings a wealth of experience to the conversation. She shares her evolution from retail buying at Macy's to launching her own consultancy, Scaling Retail, where she empowered emerging brands to succeed in a rapidly changing marketplace. She also provides insight into her more recent work as co-founder of Wealth Catalyst, a movement and community dedicated to helping women—and people at large—claim agency over their financial lives.This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about entrepreneurship, wealth-building, or changing the narrative around who can lead and invest. Marcia and Syama discuss the real stories behind building businesses, the importance of agency and vision, and why normalizing conversations about money (especially among women) is critical for collective growth. With powerful anecdotes, actionable insights, and a preview of game-changing initiatives like the Wealth Catalyst Freedom Tour, this episode is both inspiring and practical, offering listeners a front-row seat to the next evolution in personal wealth and leadership. To get the latest from Syama Bunten, you can follow her below!https://www.linkedin.com/in/syamameagher/https://syamabunten.com/https://wealthcatalyst.com/ Sign up for Marcia's newsletter to receive tips and the latest on Angel Investing!Website: www.marciadawood.comDo Good While Doing WellLearn more about the documentary Show Her the Money: www.showherthemoneymovie.comAnd don't forget to follow us wherever you are!Apple Podcasts: https://pod.link/1586445642.appleSpotify: https://pod.link/1586445642.spotifyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/angel-next-door-podcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theangelnextdoorpodcast/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/theangelnextdoorpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marciadawood

What happens when you finally attract the relationship you've been manifesting — yet part of you feels like pulling away? In this powerful coaching session, Christine works with Amy, who has called in an emotionally attuned, stable, loving partner after six years of being single. The catch: he has two children, which had always been a non-negotiable for her. Christine helps Amy uncover how her fear isn't really about the kids — it's about control, certainty, and the vulnerability of allowing love to arrive in an unexpected package. Together, they explore how protector parts attempt to maintain safety when life doesn't unfold according to the plan, and how real love invites us out of control and into trust. If you've ever received exactly what you wanted but still felt unsettled, this episode will help you see where fear is masquerading as intuition — and how to shift from protecting your heart to opening it.    Consider / Ask Yourself: Have you ever gotten what you wanted, only to feel uneasy or doubtful afterward? Do you equate safety with certainty and control? Are you focusing on what you might lose instead of what you can give? Do you feel afraid to fully say yes to something because you can't predict the outcome?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Fear often disguises itself as intuition when control feels threatened. Uncertainty is not danger — it's the doorway to love and expansion. Relationships that stretch us emotionally are invitations into abundance, not scarcity. A partner's capacity for love often expands through parenthood. You cannot love fully while keeping one foot out the door.   How to Deepen the Work: Notice when your mind jumps to "what's next" instead of being present. Ask yourself whether your concerns come from fear or from your heart. Shift from "What am I getting?" to "How can I give love here?" Practice owning your yes instead of lingering in emotional hesitation. Allow yourself to experience love without guarantees.   Couples Retreat with Christine & Seth Christine and Seth are hosting a small, high-touch Couples Retreat in San Diego, April 15–18. Space is limited to only 5–8 couples for a deeply intimate experience.

In this side piece episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we pull back the curtain on our 124 page couples retreat workbook and walk you through exactly what we teach at our marriage retreats. You'll hear us dive into the masculine and feminine, yin and yang dynamics, identity, ego, self discipline, emotional regulation, and how your inner world becomes the atmosphere of your relationship. We read straight from the workbook Peaches built for our 2 Be Better couples retreat and break down chapters on conflict, leadership in the home, time and energy management, communication without assumption, and somatic practices for couples. If you're searching for real marriage advice, couples retreat content, masculine and feminine energy in relationships, or long term relationship tools that actually work in real life, this video gives you a front row seat to how we coach couples at our retreats. You can expect practical frameworks, raw examples, and a ton of journal prompts you can use with your partner tonight, even if you never attend one of our retreats. We walk through how identity and ego show up under pressure, why self regulation and discipline matter more than good intentions, and how to repair small ruptures before they become big resentments. We also unpack how masculine repair and feminine repair look different, how to stay connected when you're both exhausted, and how to build emotional safety so intimacy, affection, and sex actually thrive. Whether you're a married couple, engaged, or in a serious relationship looking for conflict resolution tools, communication skills, and journal prompts for couples, this episode is a full mini workshop on building a steady, intentional, “2 Be Better” kind of marriage.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

If you've ever seen Couples Retreat, you probably laughed and maybe thought, “Please tell me real retreats aren't like that.”You're not alone. Hollywood's version of “healing” is filled with forced sharing, public breakdowns, and humiliation disguised as therapy.In this episode of the Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples, we share the truth about what real couples retreats are like and why they're nothing like the movie. What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why Hollywood's version of couples retreats creates more fear than healing, and how that misconception stops couples from getting real help.What is the truth about tantra and what it actually is (and isn't)What is the importance of consentWhy waiting until your relationship is “on the rocks” makes healing harder and how coming sooner can transform everything.What real retreats feel like ...how depth, laughter, sensuality, and play in a space where transformation happens through safety, not shame, looks like You don't have to wait for a crisis to reconnect. Real retreats aren't about breaking you down...they're about helping you remember the truth of who you are, together. REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW FOR OUR FEBRUARY 12-15 GROUP COUPLES RETREAT AT PHOENIX RISING.Here's what you can expect:• Daily practices to help you reconnect beyond the day-to-day• Space to set down stress and rediscover each other as lovers• Guidance from us and the support of a like-minded group• Private moments where intimacy can naturally rekindleWe keep this retreat intentionally small.

You'd think retreat leaders wouldn't “need” a retreat themselves… but the truth is, we'll never be done learning, deepening, and choosing each other. In this episode of the Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples, we share why we said yes to flying across the world for a couples mastermind and retreat — and what it gave us as partners, lovers, and leaders. What you'll hear in this episode:Why we signed up for a six-month mastermind and retreat, even with resistance.Why even leaders need to surrender and be held and how it changed our intimacy.How emotional release practices create deep safety and intimacy in partnership.What is the erotic charge of polarity — and how containment and surrender can lead to full-body orgasms (yes, fully clothed).Why you don't have to wait until crisis to invest in your relationship. If you've been craving more intimacy, trust, and desire in your relationship, this episode is your sign.

Everyone struggles with feelings of self-worth and self-acceptance from time to time. Our bodies are sacred; as the Bible says, we're created in God's image. Yet the enemy of our souls does what he can to discredit and devalue our worth, often by casting shade about our own body image. Today you get to meet Hope Orr, a skilled boudoir photographer and owner of Elevated Boudoir, as we talk about her journey, experiences, and the profound impact boudoir photography has had on herself and her clients. I had the privilege of meeting Hope over six years ago through a business connection, and I'm so excited that you get to meet her today. Hope has a grace about her and you can tell she's a very caring individual.  In this episode, you'll hear Hope share her personal battle with body image and toxic perfectionism, and how a spontaneous boudoir session changed her perspective on herself. She discusses the transformative power of boudoir photography, the importance of trust, and shares three principles that can help anyone embrace a positive self-image. The heart of this episode is about the deep personal and emotional journey and broader impact of embracing one's true self.   News and Resources We're hiring! If you think you'd be a good fit for our brand as a brand ambassador and social media marketer, we've extended our deadline.

A recurring theme I've noticed in over 200 episodes of the Get Your Marriage On podcast is that those who are willing to push themselves a little outside their comfort zone experience the most joy and growth in their relationships. And this is also consistent with my own experience.  My guest today is Kaitlin Hawes. She's a mom and a wife with a great message. You'll get to hear about what inspired her to reconsider her level of enthusiasm for sexual connection in her marriage and what inspired her to try new things and how a willingness to be honest and vulnerable with her husband opened up new heights of life experiences for her.  You'll also quickly figure out that Kaitlin is quite creative in and out of the bedroom. This episode is on the spicier side; we're gonna do a deep dive as we listen to her tips on how to make oral sex great for both men and women, along with the other fun adventures to try as a couple. I hope this episode inspires you to get creative in your own way, in your bedroom (or out of your bedroom!).   News and Resources We're hiring! If you think you'd be a good fit for our brand as a brand ambassador and social media marketer, please check out the details and apply here!
