  • The REAL Reason Relationships Lose Direction
    Jan 5 2026

    Continue the conversation with us in our Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/true-north-aligned-life/about

    At the start of a new year, many couples talk about goals, plans, and what needs fixing.

    But relationships don’t usually lose direction because people stop caring or stop trying.

    They lose direction because there’s no shared vision organising the relationship anymore.

    In this conversation, we explore the difference between relationships that are guided by vision — and those that slowly become organised around conditions like work, kids, finances, health, and day-to-day pressure.

    When a relationship has a shared sense of where we are going together, it naturally invites:

    • greater clarity and focus
    • more vitality and presence
    • a deeper sense of certainty and love


    Not because life gets easier — but because the relationship has a direction that’s bigger than today’s circumstances.

    When that vision is missing, something quieter tends to happen.

    The relationship fragments.

    Attention gets pulled outward.

    Circumstances start leading — and the relationship becomes something that’s managed rather than consciously created.

    This isn’t about vision boards, five-year plans, or trying harder.

    It’s about the felt sense of direction that allows a relationship to stay alive, connected, and resilient — even when life is demanding.

    Inside True North, this is one of the core shifts we guide people through:

    not fixing relationships, not pushing for change, but reconnecting to vision so clarity, vitality, and love can organise naturally again.

    If this conversation resonates, you’re welcome to explore further with us inside the True North Skool community.

  • Why Communication Isn’t the Problem
    Dec 27 2025

    “We just need to communicate better…”
    It sounds logical — but what if communication isn’t the real issue?

    In this episode, we unpack why most relationship advice misses the mark when it focuses on fixing words, scripts or communication techniques… without addressing what’s actually underneath.

    You’ll discover:
    🔹 Why communication often breaks down before words are even spoken
    🔹 The nervous system cues and emotional patterns that shape how we speak and listen
    🔹 What to do when talking doesn’t help (and might be making things worse)
    🔹 How to shift the energy behind the communication, not just the language

    If you're stuck in the loop of “we talk, but nothing changes” — this conversation will give you a whole new lens.

  • Why "Trying Harder" is Killing Your Relationships
    Dec 20 2025

    Are you doing all the work in your relationship — and still feeling like it’s not enough?

    This episode is for the high-functioning, overthinking, emotionally responsible partners who are constantly trying harder... and quietly burning out in the process.

    In this honest conversation, we break down:
    🔹 Why “trying harder” can actually push connection further away
    🔹 How nervous system imbalance fuels resentment and emotional disconnection
    🔹 The hidden cost of self-abandonment and over-functioning in relationships
    🔹 What to do instead — especially if you’re the one always holding it all together

    You don’t need to fix everything to create real connection — but you do need to break the loop you’re stuck in.

    Want to go deeper?
    Join our Skool and learn how to start showing up in your relationships with calm, clarity and self-leadership.
