I certainly never expected to be coming to you with an episode about living through a devastating natural disaster and yet, here we are.
Joining me is my beloved partner Kelly Gardner, a relationship coach and men's work facilitator, as we come to you recording from Kelly's childhood bedroom after evacuating from Asheville, North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
As we've witnessed events unfold that have shaken our foundation, we're having a raw, real and honest conversation about how these kinds of experiences can strengthen our relationships - particularly as a couple.
This one is quite emotional as we are quite literally procesing our grief in real-time with you as the adrenaline has worn off, while also feeling so incredibly fortunate for everything that we have, including each other.
In this episode, we cover:
-The impact of crises on personal relationships
-Navigating emotions and the importance of checking in with each other
-How to maintain communication when disaster strikes
-Trusting your partner during turbulent times
-Strategies for asking for and offering support
-Discovering the silver linings amidst chaos
-The value of shared experiences in building resilience
-How to transform challenges into opportunities for growth
Join us as we explore how conflict and adversity can ultimately lead to greater intimacy and understanding within our relationships.
