167 You want to look forward to your life with your significant other into the future. Imaging a bright future with each other is part of what keeps a relationship vibrant and alive in the present.

An important (and sometimes overlooked) piece of that is spending time dreaming into that future together with your spouse. Sharing and supportively working towards both your personal dreams and your dreams for your relationship will not just be super connecting, but it will bring excitement, fun, and so much fulfillment into your lives together.

Dreaming together can be like glue that keeps you moving side by side into a bright looking future. There really isn't a better way to honor who each of you are, and feel on the same team. Plus, it's HOW you make cool things happen!

Sadly, I’ve found that this important element of a marriage slips to the wayside in many marriages, to the detriment of both partners. So join me today to hear:

• Why you want to make sure you are dreaming together,
• What amazing and deeply satisfying things it leads to for both of you
• What counts as “dreams” (hint: they don't have to be outlandish or big!)
• What it looks like to dream together
• Why knowing and supporting each other's dreams matters,
• Tips for actually doing that
• My own personal stories about how dreaming with my husband has affected my marriage
• And ways to start dreaming together for more connection today, including specific questions to ask and communicate about

…so you can feel a sense of truly looking forward to your future with your partner by your side, as you build, together, a life you both love.

Many women I talk to feel as though their husband doesn't contribute enough domestically, like with the household chores like dishes, laundry, etc, or with the kids.

If that is going on at all for you, you probably feel resentful about it, and a sense of burden at having to do the lion's share of the domestic load. Who wouldn’t?!

This episode will change that, and help you get your partner to contribute more domestically.

You see, there is a common pattern that many couples fall into where one partner is taking on a lot more than the other person in terms of taking care of domestic things. And it is rarely just one person's fault.

There is a very common dynamic, one that both partners are complicit in, that is the cause of this in most cases: what I call the overfunctioning/underfunctioning dynamic.

In this episode you will learn:

• what that looks like
• how it leads to this unbalanced and miserable dynamic
• whether it is happening in your relationship
• why it's so common for HSPs to fall into
• and the 3 practical tangible steps you should take to reverse it

. . .so you can get the help you deserve around your home and your spouse can feel like a valued contributor he ultimately wants to be deep down.

With stories and tangible action steps, you will walk away from this episode with a very practical plan to finally feel like the real domestic and romantic team in life you want to be with your significant other.

165 If you are tired, as so many women–and especially highly sensitive women—are these days, then it IS affecting your relationship – for the worse.

When we are tired, depleted, or burnt out, we HSPs tend to feel especially burdened, irritable and even resentful.

And unfortunately it is just so easy to get tired, depleted or burnt out in our modern lives with all the societal and real-life pressures. And you likely feel you have to just keep go-go-going. Especially if you are a mom or have a full time job (or both!).

If any of this is rigging a bell, please listen to this episode. Because you deserve to feel good in your life and relationship!

And I want to give you deep permission to rest. Listen in to hear why, how, and what that looks like. And take up my loving little challenge for you this week.

You’ll be on track to lose the exhaustion, the irritability, and even the sense of ongoing burden and resentment, and start replacing it all with a sense of nourishment and vitality. This is essential listening for all highly sensitive people.
