Master Your Relationship Mind Drama

I’m sharing something vulnerable in today’s episode.

My wife recently told me she didn’t want children - when we’d always agreed and said that we would.

This has of course thrown a huge spanner in the works of our relationship and our marriage - and it’s bringing up a lot of uncertainty.

And so I wanted to talk you through how I’m handling that uncertainty - in the hopes that whatever uncertainty you’re facing right now - you can perhaps use a similar approach and help create a feeling of peace, calmness and self-trust.

Note: This episode was inspired in part by the How to Be a Better Human podcast episode featuring Simone Stolzoff discussing uncertainty. Some of the ideas explored in this episode prompted me to reflect on my own experience, and this episode shares my personal perspective and how I apply those ideas in my own life and coaching practice.

When someone is upset with you or you suspect they might be annoyed about something you’ve done - do you instantly feel guilty?

When you see someone experiencing negative emotion - do you feel like it’s your job to try and fix it? And feel super uncomfortable until you know they’re okay again?

If so - this episode is for YOU.

I’m talking all about the difference between empathy and taking responsibility for other people’s emotions.

And how to let go of responsibility, while still being a compassionate friend, partner, or family member.

This week, I’m answering two questions from listeners.

The first is all about taking back a cheating, avoidant partner.

The second is dealing with a jealous partner who has very different thoughts around a friendship with an ex.
