How to Hold Space in Your Relationship with Adam Brady

Holding space is one of the most transformative relationship skills—and yet most of us were never taught how to do it.

In this greatest hits episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I’m joined by Adam Brady, teacher at the Chopra Center, for a heartfelt and insightful conversation about The Art of Holding Space.

Together, we explore what it means to be fully present with your partner without rushing to fix, defend, or solve. Whether you're navigating conflict, emotional moments, or just trying to be more supportive in your everyday life, this episode offers a gentle but powerful roadmap.

Holding space doesn’t mean staying silent or stuffing your own feelings. It means creating a compassionate container where both people feel seen, safe, and supported. And in this conversation, Adam shares how to cultivate that kind of presence—starting with how you relate to yourself.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded while your partner is in pain, or how to listen without taking it all on, this episode will help you deepen your connection without burning out.
