  • The Change You Seek in Your Relationship Starts with You
    Dec 8 2025

    In this episode, we explore how meaningful relationship shifts often begin with subtle internal changes rather than big conversations or shared agreements. We look at what it means to take responsibility for our own resistance, reconnect with the playful parts of ourselves, and embody the energy we want to experience with our partner.

    As we soften into this inner work, our partners naturally feel the shift - an organic invitation rather than pressure or control. And finally, we discuss when it’s time to bring these changes into conversation, especially if deeper values or lifestyle shifts are unfolding.

    We'll take a deep dive on what's going on when we're really experiencing love. Plus, how to develop love from within and become a skilled "love-bender"
