How to Have a Better Relationship with Robert Brace

09/05/23 • 52 min

In the “How to Have a Better Relationship” episode, the founder of Brace Life Studios, Robert Brace, gave tools to help us navigate the challenges that come with romantic relationships. No one teaches you how to be a good partner and way too many of us are just winging it.

This conversation helps to provide the tools to show up as better people for our partners. Getting curious and putting our ego to bed in order to communicate more effectively sounds easy, but has been proven to trip many of us up. Healthy relationships don’t happen by accident, nor do they happen overnight, our commitment to it changes the experience.

KEY POINTS:

Once we get in our own heads it’s easy to confirm whatever bias we have in our minds.
If you’re judging while your partner is explaining how they’re feeling then your energy is spent on your judgment versus the curiosity of why they feel the way they do.
Feeling like a simp a lot of times comes from the feeling of having to keep doing without ever receiving also.
Lay your ego down and remain curious.
When you dismiss your partner’s effort it shuts them down and makes them less available to you emotionally.
Natural is whatever you decide it to be.

QUOTABLES:

“Depth requires energy. Take the time to replenish yourself.”

“Learn to listen through your own judgment.”

“Stay curious because that’s when you begin to better understand each other.”

“If you want something that’s going to last and go deep you’re going to have to make some commitments to it.”

How to End Your Fight With Food with Jessica Procini

In the “How to End Your Fight With Food” episode, the founder of Escape from Emotional Eating, Jessica Procini, provides tools to tackle one of America’s most prevalent issues today – our food. Our relationship with food exists on a spectrum – whether we’re using it in a healthy way or abusing it. Taking steps to bridge the gap between your relationship with food right now and your ideal relationship with food is more effective than measuring food by quantity.

Food affects both the mental and physical aspects of our life, and the goal is to become an expert on yourself. We get so caught up in the ‘what are we eating?’ and judging that, but the stuff behind the what and the relationship we have with food is where we begin to transform and change.

KEY POINTS:

Taking steps to bridge the gap between your relationship with food right now and your ideal relationship with food is more effective than measuring food by quantity.
The root of emotional eating is usually connected to deeper issues.
Identifying your current relationship and your ideal relationship with food is the beginning of creating healthier eating habits.
What we eat and how we eat are connected to different parts of our lives.

QUOTABLES:

“Food is just a symptom. We have to be willing to go beyond it to heal [the problem].”

“Issues with food have very little to do with food itself and more to do with our patterns and habits.”

“Our relationship with food and our relationship with ourselves is a long term journey.”

Navigating the Road Less Traveled with Caryn Ward Ross

In “The Road Less Traveled” episode, Caryn Ward Ross, award-winning award-winning actress, producer, and writer emphasized that sometimes you figure out who you are by figuring out who you are not. As the founder of Main Character Energy University and the creator of the transformative (Re) Write Your Life Story MethodTM️, she encouraged us to allow yourself the space and grace to figure out who you are not because it fine-tunes who you are supposed to be. When no one chooses you, you choose you. Failure is not final, and as long as you’re living you have another opportunity to create a life that works for you. Our pain is not just for us. When we master and come through it, we become a distribution site for healing and transformation for other people. Use your insight to hold the vision of who you are and don’t always lean into your eyesight — that’s holding the vision of who you are.

KEY POINTS:

Sometimes we discover more of who we are by experiencing who we are not.
When it’s now or never, choose now.
When you allow others to dictate your life, you become a supporting character in your own life.
Hold the vision of who you are! That’s insight, not eyesight.

QUOTABLES:

“Sometimes we discover more of who we are by experiencing who we are not.”

“If you’re not willing to fail and mess up how will you know when it looks and feels right?”

“If it’s going to be then it’s up to me.”

“Our pain is not just for us. When we master and come through it, we become a distribution site for healing and transformation for other people.”
