Under Construction: Getting to Know Your Hosts

Have you ever realized you’re showing up for everyone else’s growth while still figuring things out yourself? That’s exactly what happened in this episode. After spending the first several episodes talking about relationships, intimacy, connection, and home life, we realized something funny: we hadn’t really introduced ourselves. So this week, we’re turning the microphones on each other and sharing the stories, experiences, beliefs, and relationship lessons that shaped who we are today.   This conversation is honest, personal, and full of the little moments that make us human. Because Love Under Construction includes us, too. “Love isn’t something you find once… it’s something you keep building.”   In This Episode, We Explore:How Melanie’s own marriage and life experiences led her into intimacy and relationship coachingWhy Alex believes our homes impact our relationships more than we realizeWhat safety, connection, and belonging mean to each of usThe relationship myths we grew up believingWhat tends to shut us down emotionallyThe personal growth work we’re still navigating ourselvesA rapid-fire round that reveals a few things you might not expect about us  One of the themes that emerged throughout this conversation was trust.Many of us feel safest when words and actions match.
