Something miraculous happened to me recently and I knew that what I learned from it would help you have a stronger, better, more amazing relationship.

Physical therapy.

Okay, so maybe it wasn’t an actual miracle, and it’s not immediately obvious how my attending physical therapy is going to help your marriage, but stick with me! I promise it makes sense.

In this episode, I’ll share 6 lessons that I believe can help you have a better relationship right now. There are so many parallels I draw between my experience with physical therapy and some of the most common experiences with relationship struggles.

There was pain. There was fear. There was the whole “I’m used to it” when it came to this particular problem (a clicky, painful knee, in my case). There were tons of completely reasonable-sounding excuses for why I didn’t need help, and why I didn’t try reaching out sooner.

Sound familiar?

I told you it would all make sense. Ready to hear how you can take this analogy and apply it to your marriage starting today?

Listen in and hear more about:

- Why it’s so important to stop waiting and take the big step forward

- How progress doesn’t always LOOK like progress

- What it means to believe things can be different

Did you ever wonder how feminist dating principles could make your marriage stronger? In this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, you’re going to find out.

I was joined by Lily Womble, my favorite dating coach and founder of Date Brazen, a coaching framework that’s helped hundreds of women around the world build a clear path to the best relationships of their lives with unconventional, feminist-led coaching. I got a sneak peek of Lily’s upcoming book, “Thank You, More Please” which will be released in June. We talked all about the concepts she explores inside and how it serves as a feminist guide to breaking dumb dating rules.

You know I could talk about navigating the patriarchy all day, so this was a super fun conversation and you’re going to love Lily’s insights.

Just a few things we talked about included:

- How women are taught to people-please and caregive in order to survive

- What internalized patriarchy is and how it affects your relationships

- Why I believe dating doesn’t end just because you’re married

- How to recast your spouse in a role that you both value

- My take on why it feels like women have to do “all” the emotional labor

You don’t settle in any other area of your life, so let’s not start with your most important relationship. This episode will give you the tools to envision and create a partnership you want to be in.
