188  Developing healthy boundaries is an absolutely essential part of having a great intimate relationship, especially as highly sensitive people.They are a way to take care of yourself, each other, and the relationship.  I teach 3 types of boundaries, and today we are diving into the 2 psychological, or energetic types of boundaries: Protection boundaries, and containment boundaries. (Please listen to episode 51 for Relationship Boundary Basics.)When you use these kinds of boundaries skillfully, you will be able to create more closeness in your relationship, and leave beyond patterns and behaviors that create extra division, conflict,  and animosity.The thing is, many HSPs are a bit weak in these particular boundaries. So let's change that starting now! Dive in to hear what these two types of boundaries are, whether or not you need to strengthen them for yourself, and how and when to implement them. For each type, you will hear 2 or 3 tips to grow stronger boundaries (including two visualizations you can use over and over again), so you can feel less pain, resentment, and regret, and be more skillful at communicating and connecting with your partner. Listen in.SHOW NOTES:CHECK OUT THE COURSES MENTIONED: Stop Taking It So Personally Coaching Privately with Hannah ENJOYING THE PODCAST?Don't miss an episode!

Most men think they've got sex all figured out… but what if that confidence is exactly what's keeping them from mind-blowing connection? In this candid and wildly eye-opening episode of the Sex and Bacon podcast, Sarah is joined by Dallas Bluth, founder of Black Box Dating, to explore why so many men misunderstand what truly turns women on—and how they can flip the script for good. From porn culture and rushed foreplay to emotional unavailability and outdated masculinity myths, this convo dives into the core of male sexuality, desire, and how to create actual intimacy (that leads to the hottest sex of your life).

Send us a textThis is a spicy re-release from Season 4! Through our candid conversation, we explore what constitutes appropriate interaction versus potential disrespect to your partner. Is it about the content of your conversations? The frequency? The settings in which they occur? We discover that the intimacy shared, rather than merely the existence of the relationship, often serves as the true boundary marker. While casual workplace interactions might be perfectly fine, regular private messaging about personal matters might signal crossing a line, regardless of innocent intentions. Agree? Disagree? Have a thought? Share it with us by texting the show or on social media!Also, Season 5 is coming soon!

Guest: Thomas Blackwell, keynote speaker, mindset coach, and founder of Say Do Achieve Episode Summary: In this powerful and inspiring episode, we sit down with Thomas Blackwell — a former Division I tennis coach, successful entrepreneur, and now sought-after keynote speaker and high-performance coach — to unpack how the words we speak shape the lives we lead. From building businesses to building a strong marriage with his high school sweetheart, Thomas shares timeless truths on mindset, language, leadership, and love. Whether you're chasing big goals or looking to strengthen your relationship, this episode will challenge and empower you to say more of what you want, do what you say, and achieve the life you were meant to live. What We Cover: From Sports to Speaking: How Thomas transitioned from college tennis coach to insurance entrepreneur to mindset expert impacting thousands around the globe. Language & Leadership: Why the words you use in your daily life — especially in your relationships — are your most powerful tools for transformation. Marriage as Peak Performance: What it looks like to build a high-performance marriage (hint: it's not about being perfect — it's about staying aligned, grateful, and intentional). Overcoming Life's Ruts: Thomas shares a raw personal story about facing major obstacles and how perspective and grit got him through. Practical Tools for Couples: Daily habits, rituals, and communication strategies that strengthen connection and help couples stay united through busy schedules and big goals.

In marriage, alignment trumps agreement — being on the same page is more important than being right. Leadership in the home looks like service, empathy, and clarity. Small daily disciplines shape your legacy.   Connect with Thomas: Website: SayDoAchieve.com Instagram: @thomasblackwellspeak Book: The Liberty of Our Language Revealed — Available on Amazon   Favorite Quote from the Episode: “Your language creates your world.

185  Every marriage needs a foundation of respect to thrive. Yet, in so many marriages, there's a lack of respect. Studies show that men, especially, feel its lack, which tends to take a big toll on the sense of love and connection in that relationship. Why is this so common? Well, for one, it does not always come naturally to be respectful. And, as women, we may sometimes shy away from giving our respect to our spouse because we have a misunderstanding of what it looks like when it comes to intimate relationships. Or we wait for them to be more loving first. So, in this episode, let's:Clear up the misconceptions about what respect looks likeClarify exactly what many women do that leads men to feeling disrespected (it can be less obvious than you may think)Discover why, if your partner is feeling disrespected, it is hurting your whole relationship and making it harder for you to feel loved, too Learn about why it matters so much to cultivate respect–especially if you are married to a man.And get 10 specific things to do and ways to communicate to build more mutual respect– and ultimately love– into your marriage.If you want to feel more loved, and even like a treasured queen, you want to start leading more respect into your relationship. It's like an aphrodisiac to most men–and will create a positive snowball effect in your marriage as you build it into your daily life together.

 This episode is one of the -- if not THE-- #1 most essential episode of this podcast, if you want to have a loving, connected lasting marriage. SO important I'm updating and re-publishing it so you can listen again--or for the first time. Most of us limit ourselves (unconsciously, of course!) from feeling as much love as we could in our marriages. We therefore not only miss out on all the love available, but we also miss out on the benefits it brings to our marriages, and to our own selves–of which there are SO many, especially for you as a highly sensitive person. Now, you may want to feel more love, but you may also feel like it's not really up to you. That how much love you feel is contingent on how loving your spouse is. You may tend to only experience feeling love when it's easy to do so, and not so much when your husband does things that make it hard to love.Today, my friend, we begin to change all of this. Because love is always available to you, and you can even love what is hard to love (only if you want to, of course!). But it is a skill you may need to learn, so it can become habit–or simply natural to you.When you make a habit of loving without conditions, only good can come of it. Listen in to this episode to find out what I mean, how it can bring out the gift of your sensitivity, and how you can be empowered to have so much more love in your marriage and life–no matter what your husband is or isn't doing– by no longer withholding love unconsciously, and instead making unrestricted love a regular and deeply nurturing part of your life.SHOW NOTES:ACCESS THE COURSES MENTIONED: Stop Taking It So Personally Closer To Your Husband in 7 DaysENJOYING THE SHOW?Get the HSHM Podcast Map, so you can quickly identify the episodes most helpful for your unique relationship, by supporting the podcast (for as little as $3) HERE. Don't miss an episode!

Welcome back to another episode of the Balanced and Better Podcast with your hosts, Chad and Taylor Cox. This week, we are talking about how labels are harming your relationship. We dive into love languages, enneagram, introvert/extrovert, Myers-Briggs, and Attachment Styles to discuss how these labels might actually be doing more harm than good in your relationship. In this episode you will learn:What labels may be harming your relationshipHow you can use personality testing for benefit vs. harmHow you can better communicate with your spouseHow you can come together when you have different personality types.

Welcome to our first episode of TRAVEL DIARIES with Chad and Taylor! This week, we are talking about our visit to Greenville, South Carolina and share a pretty hilarious adventure involving pickleball. We hope you find a laugh and entertainment out of this funny marriage story.

183   This episode is for everyone in an intimate relationship —especially if reactivity is ever an issue, or if you ever find yourself in sticky, difficult, or heated interactions with your spouse– or you just want to communicate and relate even better!You will learn one of the most essential skills you can develop to make your relationship strong and loving: The Pause. Being able to pause is immensely powerful when it comes to  communication and navigating conflict is a graceful way– and even avoiding conflict and reactivity altogether. I would go so far as to say being able to Pause, in the way I describe in this episode, is a sacred skill. It gives you the ability to respond skillfully, instead of reacting in a way that makes things worse.But, as simple as the idea of pausing is, it is HARD to actually do. This episode will change that!So listen in to hear:What the pause actually is, Why it's so key to success in loveWhy it is so hard to do (without the key I will teach you)They 1 major key to being able to successfully do itAnd the practical and simple practice that will make you a pro at the Pause in a matter of weeksOnce you've tuned in and done as I suggest in this episode, you will be so much further ahead of most people in your ability to respond to your spouse, no matter the situation, in a way that invites peace, understanding, connection, and even collaboration, and you'll be well positioned to preserve and deepen the integrity and strength of your relationship for the long haul.SHOW NOTES:CHECK OUT THE COURSES MENTIONED: Stop Taking It So Personally Closer To Your Husband in 7 Days ENJOYING THE PODCAST?Don't miss an episode!

In this episode, we dig into the research about what to look for and — equally important — what not to look for in a long-term partner. Plus, how do you clarify what you need in a partner?

In today's episode, I am behind the mic and my best friend of 17 years Brianna interviews me on my journey from quitting my career as a forensic scientist to now owner and my skincare company Silkenn.  I open up about my long journey from burnout to “balance” while navigating the demands of hustle culture as a high-achieving boss babe running a team of people while handling a 9 to 5.  We share in this episode: * Why the concept of "work-life balance" is a myth and how embracing harmony can transform your life. * The role of self-care in maintaining sanity amidst the chaos of entrepreneurship, marriage, and building a brand. * The importance of prioritizing yourself daily, with actionable tips on integrating self-care into your routine. * How faith and community have shaped Ericka's journey and helped her overcome setbacks. * Real talk on the struggles of being a boss babe in a world driven by hustle culture and high expectations. Whether you're an ambitious woman looking to align your goals with your values or simply seeking inspiration to reclaim your time, this episode is packed with relatable advice and heartfelt moments. Takeaways: * Self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity for high achievers. * Harmony beats balance—learn how to make your busy life work for you. * Prioritize relationships and find your "thing" to stay grounded.

178  If you're unhappy enough in your marriage to be questioning if you should stay or go, you probably feel uncertain, confused, afraid. You're too scared and unsure if it's the right thing to do to actually leave, but you also know you don't want to go on living like this with your spouse. What if your spouse CAN improve? What if you CAN connect in the deeper ways you want? What if you CAN'T? What if he can't? It can be paralyzing. And spirit killing!It's time for some clarity about what's best for you moving forward!In this episode, I will help you get that. Although there isn't a black and white answer I can hand you today, I do have some clear advice to share. And even an outline for an illuminating and super clarifying conversation that you can have with your spouse to help you know whether it is time, or not, to leave—or whether this relationship actually has room to improve into a fulfilling one you really WANT to stay in.I will also share more in depth the 5 ingredients you need to put into this clarifying conversation, and what needs to happen first, during and after. I could have easily called this episode “How To Motivate Your Spouse Stretch And Grow Into The Partner You Really Want”, instead. Because what I share in this episode, if you implement it, is the most powerful way I have ever seen to invite and motivate your spouse to do a whole lot more to make your marriage one you both feel great in… And if he is unable even then to be the loving supportive partner you want in life, you will know for sure that staying is not what's best for you, and be free to move on with integrity, confidence, and peace.

177  There are three major things I learned from my first marriage ending in divorce that have allowed me to create an amazing fulfilling marriage with my second husband. As I've worked with hundreds of other highly sensitive women, I've noticed the struggles I had in my first marriage echo so many of the struggles these other HSP women have in theirs.  So it makes sense what worked for me will also help you have a much more fulfilling marriage!AND the unhappiness, lack of fulfillment, and pain we tend to feel in our relationships as sensitive women is often sourced in a few challenges that are an innate part of high sensitivity. Even though this trait is amazing, and a true gift for you and the lucky people who get to have you in their lives, high sensitivity can come with a shadow side, especially when it comes to specific aspects of intimate relationships. Listen in to this episode for a reminder of how your sensitivity can be such a strength when it comes to intimate partnerships (it never hurts to hear a reminder, right?!), and also  hear how the same qualities ( which have to do with our conscientiousness and high standards) can sometimes end up undermining the strength of the relationship–until you implement the 3 tips I share.Not only do I share quite a bit about my first marriage to help illustrate my advice, so it's fun to listen to, but the 3 tips I share are simple. Just listening to this episode can bring you some real "ahas" and lead to some great change in your marriage or committed relationship.
