5 Lessons from Top Relationship Experts

You can love your partner deeply AND forget to show them you actually like them because you get caught up in keeping up with the demands of daily life.

Last week I went to the In Bloom Relationship Conference in Vancouver and learned from world-renowned relationship experts like Dr. John & Julie Gottman (yes, those Gottmans), Dr. Ramani Durvasula and Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh.

We’ve got 2 kids under three. And we’re tag-teaming bed times, building a business, recording podcasts, healthy habits, meetings, laundry and dinners. And even though Tom and I are building a beautiful life together, I catch myself defaulting into logistics mode and “what’s next”. Not pausing. Not turning toward him. Forgetting to show him I actually like him.

And the truth is… when we stop showing we like each other? We stop feeling liked in return. That’s when the slow disconnection creeps in.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the 5 most powerful takeaways from the conference that are relatable and actionable:

➤ A completely new way to define attraction (it’s not what you think)
➤ The one equation that changed how I see marriage forever
➤ Why your partner doesn’t feel respected (and how to shift it without losing yourself)
➤ The real reason your date nights aren’t cutting it
➤ And a tiny communication tweak from the Gottmans that could save your next argument (it’s already saved 2 for me)

As a married couple who’s done 22 quarterly marriage alignment retreat weekends (yes, with toddlers) and built a life we love on purpose - we walk the talk and experiment as we go.

This episode will flip what you think you know about love on its head.

This one’s for the high-achieving couples who are ready to feel in sync again.

You don’t need more time. You need better tools. This episode has them!
