For this week’s podcast, I brought along a friend… high-performance relationship coach and gender dynamics social scientist, Katarina Polonska! In this episode, we discuss how to make the difficult decision of whether to stay or leave a relationship, how to navigate messy power struggles, and how to move from individualism to collaboration to build stronger, more connected relationships. Yep, we cover it all!

Watch this episode now to discover:

  • The #1 way to get clarity on whether you should stay or leave a relationship (hint: the result is win-win: you either transform the relationship or you leave and find someone who is more aligned)

  • The 6-month strategy to "clean up your side of the street" and find undeniable clarity

  • The blame game that often happens in the power struggle phase of a relationship when our wounds (aka: sneaky unaddressed demons) like to come out

  • The responsibility we have to try and understand our partner's needs and to hold them AND ours with equal importance

  • How we've moved away from being collaborative in relationships to being individualistic and believing our needs matter more than our partners

  • A mindset shift that can help you have a better relationship with your in-laws and extended family (even if you couldn't be more yin and yang!)
