Women's needs in marriage evolve—and if you're not paying attention to those changes, disconnection can creep in even when there's love. This is especially true in the seasons of motherhood, when emotional, physical, and mental demands are at their highest. In this week's podcast episode, we break down the 5 key categories of needs most women have in marriage right now—especially mothers in the thick of parenting. Whether you're navigating newborn life, toddler chaos, or school-age schedules, this conversation helps both partners understand what matters most for staying connected. Relationship Resources ⏬ 1) If you're ready to reconnect in small but meaningful ways, join the Prioritizing Us 30-Day Couples Challenge. It's full of daily connection builders that fit into real life—especially in busy seasons like parenting. 2) To make sure that your partner has the best Mothers Day possible, we also have a FREE Mother's Day Prep Guide that you can access (and then use) for this weekend!  3) Also come see us in person at The Couples Workshop in Arizona on Oct.5th, 2025. This will be a half-day of learning and practicing communication and conflict resolution tools that will create real momentum in your marriage NOW! 

Does it ever feel like you and your partner have different goals or even that your needs are conflicting with one another? This can be obvious when one partner is saying they need more quality time and the other is saying they need more time for themselves. But there is another conflicting goal that men and women have that is hard to detect.  In this episode you will hear what this conflicting goal is, that you would likely never guess. From all the sessions we do, as well as having hosted our Couples Workshop, this is an underlying subconscious goal that is more pervasive than you realize. Listen in to make sure it is not affecting your relationship and hear what a better more collaborative goal is to have.   Relationship Resources You can find all of our best resources from guides, 30 day challenges, and webclasses, with this link: https://www.meetthefreemans.com/links

In this episode of The Secure Love Podcast, Drew confronts his deep-seated feelings of shame, tracing their roots back to childhood experiences, including a pivotal moment at a baseball game when his father left him. This incident instilled a belief of inadequacy that resurfaces in his present-day struggles, particularly regarding anxiety about new work conditions. Drew expresses fears of needing to "reprove" himself, which amplifies his feelings of failure and shame. Under Julie's guidance, Drew begins to articulate these emotions and recognizes the importance of being vulnerable with Melissa, despite his tendency to avoid such discussions. This session marks a significant milestone in their therapy journey, as Julie notes that it may be the last deep dive into Drew's shame, indicating his progress in being fully present with his struggles. The couple's evolving dynamic highlights the shift from avoidance to emotional connection, setting the stage for a more secure relationship.

When there is tension or an upset in your marriage, it's easy to point the finger at your partner as the source of the discomfort. But this often leads to further conflict. It also does not address this critical aspect of being in a marriage for a long time… that growth is a part of it! The common question for those that see these events as places to grow is “well, is this a me thing, a you thing, or a we thing”!  Today's episode is more motivational (and aspirational) about growth in your relationship. You will hear how you can quickly distinguish between the necessary individual work that needs to be done as well as the relationship work that needs to be focused on. After listening to this episode you both will feel more grace for each other with the reminder that you are in this to grow and you are in it together!   Relationship Resources: 1) Discover all our online resources here: https://www.meetthefreemans.com/links 2) Join us at the in-person Couples Workshop on Oct 6th, 2024.

Too often we move on without any true resolution. This we are talking to Jocelyn Freeman of Meet the Freemans and she walks us through some strategies and ways we can repair and take accountability without resentment. 1. We just had a big argument and are at a stalemate, how do we repair? 2. Our argument got heated, we took a break to cool down, but when we talk about it and try to repair we end up getting into an even bigger argument. How can we stop this cycle? 3. POV: I always feel like I am initiating the repair and taking accountability, but my partner isn't. I am feeling disconnected and frustrated which is leaving me to feel resentment. What can I do so I am not the only one saying sorry? 4. How can I get past the self-righteous mentality in arguments? Aaron and Jocelyn Freeman ("The Freemans") are authors of The Argument Hangover, creators of The Couples Workshop (which has sold out over 50 times), and coaches to thousands of couples worldwide. They are best known for their relatable and actionable tools and skills for couples to communicate better, fight smarter, and handle any challenge as a team. The best resources to start with are their 30-Day Couples Challenges and their instant-access guides. 

Can you count on each other completely? Not with just the BIG things, but also with the small daily things in your life? Building and living a great life with each other is only possible if you can count on, TRUST, each other. When you see the word “trust” it's easy to think of big things around feeling physically safe or being truthful in what you say. But this conversation gets way more into your day-to-day experiences that either lead to doubting each other and losing trust or increasing the reliability and foundational confidence you have no matter what comes up.  Being attracted to each other, feeling connected, being intimate, and having fun together, is only possible if you can COUNT on each other as partners and that you each are operating as people of integrity to these 4 things…   Relationship Resources: It is the last week to attend the in person Couples Workshop with us in Arizona on May 26th.

Which of these 7 stages of marriage are you two in right now? Knowing this not only gives you perspective about navigating your current season, but also what's ahead of you in the bigger picture of being married for many years.  It is unrealistic to think that every season of marriage should be the same, or will be in the same order as another couple's. But also, we should be able to navigate some of the harder stages more quickly so they don't last too long or rob us of joy and fulfillment in living life together.  RELATIONSHIP RESOURCES: Meet us in-person at The Couples Workshop in Arizona at the end of May.

We all want some degree of change in our lives, and our relationships. So long as they are the changes we want! Change can be difficult if it brings about a lot of unknown, or if the change you desire requires your partner to change some of their behavior.  But what is it that creates change and how do you get the results that you really want? In this episode we outline the drives and motivations behind creating change and the one foundational element that you must be able to identify if any real change is going to happen, let alone last!   Relationship Resources - May 26th, 2024 is The Couples Workshop in Arizona.

Russ & I are in a workshop with Leslie from Inner Sage. We both will be learning about ourselves & each other. Individual growth is good but not at the expense of losing each other & losing our relationship. Together we grow, together we love, together we play….. Thoughts from the Tractor.

“Disciplines and commitments. Without those men are just wandering around aimlessly.”“There seems to be a daily choice on which direction to go, as opposed to young men making a commitment to ‘this is what I'm going to do and this is how I'm going to get there'.”Since the 1960's, the world has experienced a dramatic change. It started mainly in the United States but has since spread throughout the world. It can be described in many ways but for the sake of this podcast, we'll say it's been a movement away from traditions and traditional culture. But our traditions weren't simply human constructs for the sake of controlling people. They're reflections of human nature and even nature itself, guided by true faith. As this movement away from traditions reaches the extreme and the many social issues we face prove more and more that we're heading in the wrong direction, it gets easier to recognize the value and need for the wisdom of our traditions. One of the easiest ways we can carry our traditions forward is to connect with our elders.Steve Richmond is an expert in men, masculinity and how to tap into their masculinity.At 62, he found his purpose in coaching men and women to better their lives, relationships and experience greater business success and freedom. Today, Richmond advises the need for men, especially those under 50 to be humble and seek out mentors at least 20 years your senior to learn from their experiences.The interview revolves around the relentless denigration of elder wisdom in modern society and the dangers posed by uninformed individuals, particularly young men, offering misguided advice. Richmond explains the invaluable life experience rooted in traditional culture and urges younger generations to be humble and engage in meaningful conversation with their elders. Extending to the impact of the feminazi movement, the role of fathers in homes, and the essential need for discipline, commitment, and purpose in a man's life.For more information and updates, visit Steve Richmond's website at SteveRichmond.ca or TheRelationshipWorkout.com.Check out the upcoming Couples Workshop in January called "The Turning Point" in 3 online sessions facilitated by Steve Richmond and Marie Tindall.You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

When betrayal has occurred, it's natural for couples to seek out marriage counseling in a desperate attempt to repair the relationship, only to be frustrated because he doesn't know how to show empathy for the pain the betrayal he has caused her and she doesn't know how to feel safe with someone who violated her trust so deeply. Today, Carol the Coach is interviewing Sherri Courtney and Laura Fisher who offers couples a solution that bridges the gap between the discovery of betrayal and couples counseling. Sherri and Laura have integrated the principles from Help Her Heal, Unleashing Your Power and Help Them Heal into their Help Them Heal for Couples Signature Program, which offers a comprehensive Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM) based approach to healing a relationship when trust has been shattered through sexual betrayal.  They will be offering a Help Them Heal for Couples Workshop in January that will introduce couples to the ERCEM model and help them learn how to progress together through the 3 stages of partner betrayal: Safety and Stabilization; Anger, Grief and Mourning; and Post Traumatic Growth. Sherri and Laura believe having the right help at the right time can make all the difference in relational healing and are committed to helping couples not only survive but thrive following sexual betrayal.   Website: www.helpthemhealworkshop.com Email: info@helpthemhealforcouples.com

Picture this: you and your partner on vacation at your favorite spot, yet you haven't exchanged a word in three days. The silent tension, the "stand-off," can feel like it's tearing your relationship apart, whether it's a recurring pattern or a prolonged icy silence. But fear not, because in this episode, we dive into the fascinating realm of how our minds can play tricks on us, especially in the heat of a relationship blow-up. Discover the cognitive twists and turns that can lead to misunderstandings and emotional chaos.  We explore the psychology behind intelligence and how our cognitive development shapes the way we interpret conflicts. From confirmation bias that paints your partner as the villain to cognitive distortions that blur the lines between feelings and facts, we unravel the mysteries behind these mental mechanisms. Join us as we guide you through navigating the complex landscape of emotions, reminding you that while feelings are valid, they might not always align with reality. Tune in to learn how to dismantle the stand-off, focusing on self-reflection, responsibility, and solution-oriented repair. Don't let your relationship be a casualty of the stand-off – let's bridge the gap together.   Additional Resources From the Show Join us in-person at The Couples Workshop on September 10th, 2023 in Arizona.

We are just off hosting the Couples Workshop in Arizona yesterday, and this was one of the biggest takeaways from the ½ day in person event. Communication seems easy when you only think of it as “verbalizing what you are thinking”. But this often leads to the biggest communication mistake that turns simple conversations into an argument.  In this episode we will give you the inside look at the most effective communication tool that we teach at the Couples Workshop and in our coaching. By changing your very first sentence to your partner you can stay on the same team together and support each other in fulfilling your relationship needs and wants!   Resources For Your Relationship: Order our book, The Argument Hangover, and get over $200 of free bonus gifts (like the mini course and a 90 minute training) You can also sign-up for a 2-on-2 Relationship Breakthrough Session here

Men, there is something you don't understand about your female partners… Being completely honest here, this is something that women might forget in the moment as well. When women don't understand this about themselves then they don't communicate in the best way or request what it is they need so that it can be received by their male partners. Men, without understanding this need that women have, you will easily invalidate them and easily escalate the conversation into a triggering conflict. In this episode you will (both) understand this need that women have and be able to communicate about it in a healthy way that brings you into more harmony individually and as a couple.    Resources For Your Relationship: Sign-up for a 2-on-2 Relationship Breakthrough Session here For those that live in and around Arizona, this is your last opportunity for the in person Couples Workshop event on Sunday Oct 9th.

Women, there is something you don't understand about your male partners… Being completely honest here, this is something most men don't even understand about themselves! When men don't understand this about themselves then they cannot even communicate or request what it is they need and default to shutting down, being silent, or even leaving the physical space without so much as a word about what is happening.  Women, without understanding this need that men have, you will take it personally and do the opposite actions that are needed to help; pushing your male partner further away or shutting down even more. In this episode you will (both) understand this need that men have and be able to communicate about it in a healthy way that brings you into more harmony individually and as a couple.   Resources For Your Relationship: Sign-up for a 2-on-2 Relationship Breakthrough Session here For those that live in and around Arizona, this is your last opportunity for the in person Couples Workshop event on Sunday Oct 9th.

So that's all I've tried to do, but I'm happy to be here. It's a generous, yeah. Title of the. Trauma expert title. I, I think I'm learning just the same as everyone else.

I, you know, right before we started recording, I just kinda threw out the idea. I'm like, you know, it would be interesting to discuss, cause I have some thoughts front of mind, but I'd love to get both of your views on it is, is just the dynamic of insecurity as it relates to trauma. And, um, you know, so I'm on social media. I, I make a lot of like Instagram and Tik TOK videos. I have a popular podcast. And so I'm kind of like almost in this like pop psychology field, even though maybe I spend most of my time reading. I don't know. The academic journals and the literature on different interventions. So it's confusing. Cause people are like, well, what psychology books would you recommend? And I'm like, you wouldn't like any of this stuff, I'm reading it. Like, I don't know. All the stuff I've read is like out a way in the weeds....

If you think about it, when you find yourself in a place like this, is it likely you can easily find your way out if you don't even know what got you here? Likely not!  But this is not just you, arguments have different layers and if you are unclear, like even about what your desired outcome is, how can you expect to be anything but confused and ineffective?!  That's why in today's episode you are going to hear our takeaways from the book “Thank you for arguing” and how we even used it to understand more about an argument we had (yes it's true we have arguments ourselves!). As you will hear though, all relationships have arguments but there is one key that leads to a healthy relationship, or ones that eventually end!  On top of that you are going to hear the 3 sources of arguments as well as the 3 methods of arguments so that you can better navigate arguments in your own relationship and bring them to a win-win resolution to be more connected and understanding of each other.    Resources For Your Relationship: Watch our FREE WebClass on: The 5 Steps to Fully Repair After an Argument So You Reconnect in Minutes (Instead of Hours, Days, Weeks).

Welcome to episode 7 of Women's Circle! Thank you for joining us this week, however you found us, we are so excited to have you here. Today is a very special interview because I am talking navigating or rather revolutionising your intimate relationships with Francis Borg, Imago Relationships Therapist. I was fortunate enough to attend a weekend workshop with Francis and now better understand what we carry into our relationships subconsciously and how that all comes up for healing as we progress. As a single parent, you might wonder why this is relevant for me but I can absolutely advocate that the tools and awareness I gained from this workshop have helped me process my past behaviours in relationships and how to be aware of them as I move forward. Namely the fact that we unconsciously choose a partner that reflects one of our early caregivers to complete childhood…process that for a minute…I highly recommend this for ALL couples at all stages of love and you can find Francis' workshop details in the show notes. We will be discussing: -       What is IMAGO Relationship Therapy-       Early attachment wounds-       How Francis found the work she now does-       Self-awareness around childhood patterning-       Communicating needs over ‘getting him to do what I want'-       Unconsciously choosing a partner to complete childhood (what!?)-       Chemistry around ‘being in love' linked to early caregivers-       The ‘Power Struggle' phase - the make or break in a relationship-       Maximiser and Minimiser dynamics in a relationship-       Communicating using IMAGO dialogue-       Non-Verbal Communication-       Seeing our partner's reality as their truth-       Entering the relationship consciously-       Counselling as good practice and maintenance not a sign of relationship failure-       Healing systemic cycles of destructive relationships through counselling-       Closing exists to the relationship in order to show up for each otherWelcoming you to the space.Love, CarlieFounder, Mumma Got Skillswww.mummagotskills.com.auInstagram: @mummagotskillsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mummagotskills Resources and links:Couples Workshop with Francis Borghttps://brisbanenorthcounselling.com.au/couples-workshops2/Work with Francis Borghttps://brisbanenorthcounselling.com.au/ Getting The Love You Want (A guide for couples), Harville Hendrix and Hellen LaKelly Hunt(Stages of Development are within this book)https://www.booktopia.com.au/getting-the-love-you-want-revised-edition-harville-hendrix/book/9781471193521.html?source=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjwn8SLBhAyEiwAHNTJbZN8ggWSXKsXNEwniPL8irASLjCIrc7f_LgX3U6EBqDKB5nfyyLGphoCVrwQAvD_BwE   

Trust can be broken or weakened by both the big things and the build up of many smaller broken promises. Trust is such a foundational aspect of a relationship that without it, it's harder to have respect, love, and passion for your partner.  In this episode we go deeper into rebuilding trust, whether you are the partner that doesn't trust, or if you realize that you are the one that has contributed to the decline of trust. We were asked to take this topic deeper from a listener of the podcast that emailed us, because she was experiencing unreliability on the side of her partner. (We so appreciate you for requesting topics to cover!) Today you will hear about the small things that lead a partner to not “count on” the other, what the real source is of broken promises, and 3 steps to take to rebuild trust as a team.   Resources For Your Relationship: If you're in or near Arizona, attend The Couples Workshop on September 26th, 2021.   If outside AZ, you can sign-up for a 2-on-2 Relationship Breakthrough Session here   About Us: We're The Freemans, your go-to couple for authentic and actionable relationship advice.

Are there any topics left in your relationship that you feel you can't talk about? Perhaps you no longer attempt certain topics or expressing your emotion on certain things because your partner's reaction makes you feel "emotionally unsafe." Being in a truly healthy and empowered relationship means that you should always feel safe to talk about any topic. Of course saying “talk about any topic” really means “talk about any emotion you are having”.  In this episode you will hear: The critical mistake you yourself are making that has you feel unsafe The goal of being able to share your true emotions with each other 4 ways to create emotional safety   Resources For Your Relationship: Couples in the Arizona area: save your seats for the Sept 26th in person Couples Workshop.

On a importance scale from 1-10, how important is sharing household chores and responsibilities? On the spectrum of things you can be focusing on in your life and relationship, how often are you getting frustrated or do you bicker with your partner over this simple area?  Now any place in your relationship that you have a recurring upset and causes you to be disconnected from your partner, is an important area to change.  After the Couples Workshop this week, we realized that this is an area that we never bicker over or even have to think about.

It can feel frustrating or unsettling when you and your partner disagree on a big decision. For some couples, this can lead to making no decision and staying in a standstill for a while, which is also not ideal for you. For others, it can lead to tense conversations, full blown arguments, and feeling like you're limited by the other person. But it doesn't have to go that way… Whether it's parenting styles, financial decisions, where to move, when to have kids, which job offer to take, etc….you CAN make decisions in a way that feels better and leads to an even better outcome than you imagined. In today's episode, you'll hear 6 Key Elements to Making a Big Decision Together. Dive in and you might want to take notes :)   Resources For Your Relationship: Also, make sure you're registered for the ONE-TIME FREE WEBCLASS on July 20th (next week).
