Ep. 49 Beyond the Surface - Coaching for Deeper Relationships

This week Ang is joined by Tina Laws, a relationship and intimacy consultant and mediator, who works with individuals to help them balance their careers and relationships without losing their marriage. Tina was a successful career focused woman living the life that most people envied, at least from the outside. But when she discovered that her marriage was suffering as a result of career ambitions she knew she had to take action. In this interview with Ang, Tina recounts her amazing life story and how that one realisation led her on the path to helping numerous men and women that have found themselves in the same position that she was in. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Tina is, and has been for many years in a happy marriage. However, when she started thinking about her career night and day, she realised her marriage was in danger. She explains to Ang how this set her on the path of her current career.  
• Tina explains some of the common problems she sees with clients that visit her, and how most of them stem from the same cause…complacency. 
• Tina outlines her approach to working with couples and how she always finds that, after the first meeting, the couples come to realisations that they have overlooked for years. 
• Between 60 and 70% of second marriages fail. Tina and Ang discuss why they think this is the case and the work you can do ‘in between’ marriages to make sure your second go is successful.  

BEST MOMENTS

“Most people think ‘We’re in love and that should be enough’, but you have to work at your relationship everyday to keep it strong.”

“The most important thing you can do to help your partner is listen.”

“Intimacy doesn’t start in the bedroom.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission - to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.
