If you have ever told your husband …
What to wear What he should eat How he should drive What he should do at his job What he should or should not buy How to take care of the kids That he should lose weight Or how to do or handle anything for that matter … this podcast is for you. What most women don’t realize is that when we tell our husband how he should do something it sends a message to him that we don’t think he is capable of handing the situation himself. This deeply hurts his heart. It’s not at all what we mean. We are only trying to make things easier for everyone. But it’s important that we know the message our husband is hearing if we want more connection and love in our relationship. So, in this episode, I’m going to share a few of my classic control freak stories so you can see how it plays out in real life. And I hope to convince you that letting go of control will actually make life better, not worse. This shift is absolutely critical to having a great relationship!

I was talking to a client the other day and she realized she was constantly questioning her worthiness in her marriage.
She realized that if her husband did or said the things she needed him to, she felt worthy and loved. She felt complete. But if he didn’t do them, she subconsciously took that as a sign that he did not love her and she was not worthy. That reminded me of the infamous line in the movie Jerry Maguire where Jerry says to his estranged wife, “You complete me.” In today’s podcast I’ll teach you where your true worth and completion come from and help you take that pressure off of your husband and your marriage.

We have all been through things in our lives that hurt. And we tend to carry that pain around with us throughout our lives. Telling and retelling the story of what happened to us and how bad it hurt.

In this episode of the podcast I am going to teach you how to heal your past so you can feel better and move on with your life.
