In this enlightening episode, we delve deep into the world of epigenetics and family systems, exploring the profound impact of early mother-child relationships on our adult interactions. Our guest, Johanna Lynn, a leading expert in the field, discusses the profound influence that the initial five years of life have on how we show up in our relationships later on.

Through thoughtful reflection and conscious effort, we discuss strategies to break negative cycles of interaction and redefine our relationship dynamics. I get personal about how I reshaped my relational blueprint in my own marriage.

Could your marriage become stronger if you considered divorce as a viable option?
Today, I'm chatting with relationship coach Sharon Pope, as we uncover the paradoxical notion that acknowledging the possibility of divorce can actually reinforce a marriage.
We delve into the power of choice and how it can lead to a more intentional and fulfilling partnership. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of setting healthy boundaries and reveal why trying to control our partner's commitment often backfires, leaving a trail of unhappiness and discontent.
As societal roles evolve, so do the dynamics within a marriage. Sharon and I discuss the new terrain of gender expectations and responsibilities, dissecting how modern marriages are adapting—or struggling—to keep pace. We cast light on the silent signals that a relationship may be veering off course and stress the urgency of addressing issues promptly. Whether it's cultivating a space for open dialogue or recognizing when it's time to seek professional help, we guide you through the critical choices that can either rejuvenate your relationship or lead you to part ways with grace and certainty.
This episode addresses the complexities of maintaining intimacy amidst the demands of parenthood. We share strategies for nurturing your connection and why it's essential to remain curious about your evolving spouse. In addition, we explore how relationship coaching can provide the toolkit needed for couples to flourish through adversity.
So, whether you're looking to reignite the spark in your marriage or contemplating the crossroads of "stay or go," this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for embracing the continuous journey of love and partnership.

In this bonus episode, I reached wayyyy back in my vault and pulled out one of my favorite interviews of all time with Russell Brunson, co-creator of Clickfunnels, in order to set the stage and give you context for Monday’s awesome interview with his better half, Collette Brunson.

Over the past 10 years, Russell has built a following of over a million entrepreneurs, sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books, popularized the concept of sales funnels, and co-founded a software company called ClickFunnels that helps tens of thousands of entrepreneurs quickly get their message out to the marketplace. As of this posting, they have over 100,000 users!

Today, he’s talking about the failures that led to his success and getting personal with me about who and what keeps him humble. He shares with me his #1 key to success, how he learned to get so far out of his comfort zone and his role models and favorite entrepreneurs. This was one of my favorite interviews! I loved getting to know my neighbor better and hear what drives him to succeed and give back.

I figured out what gives him the determination to never give up, even when the chips are down and how his belief has saved him from certain destruction.

There are few things I want you to remember about this interview.

  1. Russell is the person who encouraged me to start podcasting in the first place. He has been a huge support, mentor and cheerleader for me over the past year and a half as I started and grew this podcast.
  2. The audio quality of this episode is terrible. The editing is even worse. But... the content is so so GOOD! It’s worth listening, I promise.
  3. When I first published this interview, I probably had only a small hand full of listeners. Russell agreed to do the interview anyway.
  4. Once you hear my interview with Collette on Monday, you will be able to see and hear the progress I’ve made on my podcast in the last year and a half. I’ve grown my podcast from 0 to over 50,000 downloads and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made in every area of my life, business and podcast.
  5. I hope that my love for podcasting and this incredible family will come through with flying colors.

As long as you are aware of these things. You are going to love my interviews with both Russell and Collette Brunson! Enjoy!
