When you're ready to do the inner work it takes to have the deepest of connections with your partner, this podcast will show you how. This show offers women a deep dive into the inner workings of a healthy, committed partnership. Elana Israel, Relationship and Intimacy Coach, plunges underneath the surface of everyday relationship challenges and tackles the underlying fears and pains that must be worked through in order to feel relaxed and aligned. Episodes will cover self-empowerment and authenticity, better communication, deeper intimacy and radical self-acceptance. The show will also examine how past relationships affect the present, handling difficult conversations, respectful fighting and spiritual tools that create powerful shifts. Elana has 10+ years’ background as a master’s level therapist and is a certified life coach. She also brings in her own experience and growth, sharing wisdom from both professional and personal involvement with these topics.
In this episode, we get brutally honest about how pride, defensiveness, and the need to be right are quietly destroying connection. You’ll learn what real humility looks like, how to drop your ego without losing your voice, and why choosing humility is actually the most powerful move you can make in your marriage.
