Hello Beautiful Souls!! Amanda here
In Episode 13 of The Intuitive Marriage Podcast, we dive deep into the power of empathy and how it can transform your relationship. Empathy is the secret sauce to a thriving marriage. It’s about truly understanding and valuing your partner’s feelings.
Take a few minutes each day to ask your partner about their day, their feelings, and any challenges they’re facing. It’s a powerful way to stay connected and show that you care.
Tips for Cultivating Empathy:

Active Listening:

Focus on their words, tone, and body language. Show that you’re listening by nodding, making eye contact, and providing verbal affirmations like “I see” or “I understand.”

Perspective-Taking:
- Put yourself in their shoes. Try to see things from their perspective, even if it means imagining what it's like to navigate the world with their quirks and habits.
Practicing Self-Compassion:
- Building empathy also involves being kind to yourself. Practice self-compassion and give yourself the grace to make mistakes and learn from them.
- Remind yourself that it’s okay to have off days and that personal growth is a continuous journey.

Thanks for listening to this weeks episode

Hello, Beautiful Souls! I'm your host Amanda Pott and in this episode of The Intuitive Marriage Podcast, we’re diving into a question that’s central to everything we do: What is an intuitive marriage? Together, we’ll explore what it means to cultivate a deep, instinctual connection with your partner—one that goes beyond words and taps into something truly special.
