Doing the work to change your anger responses isn’t just powerful—it’s transformative. It creates a ripple effect that touches every corner of your life, including your most important relationships. For me, one of the biggest shifts happened in my marriage. I used to carry reactionary tendencies and misdirected frustrations into my relationship, creating unnecessary tension. But as I worked on myself, I learned how to show up with vulnerability and build communication styles that strengthened our connection. The result? A healthier relationship and a much more peaceful home.
In this episode, I’m sharing 10 actionable strategies to help you build deeper connection and intimacy in your relationship. We’ll explore how to uncover hidden expectations, shift unhelpful patterns, and rewrite the metaphorical dance you and your partner may be stuck in.
