Ep. 97: This one quality destroyed AND saved my marriage (are you doing it too?)

After nearly 10 years of coaching couples and individuals through some of the hardest relationship patterns imaginable, I've discovered one single quality that I've watched silently destroy relationships — including my own marriage — and yet, when finally confronted, become the very thing that saves them. In this video, I'm getting deeply personal about the childhood wounds, unconscious patterns, and self-protective behaviors that I didn't even know were running my relationship into the ground, and exactly what I did to turn it around. If you're struggling with relationship challenges, repeating painful patterns, feeling emotionally disconnected from your partner, or wondering why your love life never seems to change no matter how much personal development work you do — this one is for you.
