Hello Beautiful Souls! I'm your host Amanda Pott and I’m back from my solo trip to Australia! This wasn’t the adventure I had envisioned—my husband wasn’t able to join me... sometimes life throws you curve balls. So instead of letting the situation bring us down, we turned it into an opportunity for growth. Join me as I share how we used communication, empathy, and understanding to transform what could have been a setback into something positive. This episode is all about navigating unexpected changes in your marriage and how to handle disappointments with grace.
Key Topics:
- Communication: How openly talking about our feelings led to clarity and connection.
- Empathy: Stepping into each other’s shoes during challenging times.
- Understanding: Learning to accept situations out of our control and supporting each other through them.
I’ll be sharing some details of my trip to Australia, what it was like to travel alone when I had expected my husband by my side, and how we managed the disappointment. It wasn’t easy, but we found strength in our relationship by communicating openly and practicing empathy, which turned what could have been a negative experience into a powerful lesson.
Tips:
- Pause and Reflect: Before reacting to a disappointment, take a moment to breathe and reflect on how you’re feeling.
- Communicate Your Needs: Don't assume your partner knows what you're going through—tell them clearly.
- Empathize, Don’t Blame: Understand that your partner may be facing their own challenges, even if they seem to be the cause of your frustration.
- Turn the Negative into Positive: Look for ways to grow together during difficult times instead of letting them create distance.
This week, practice taking a minor setback or disappointment in your relationship and having an honest conversation about it with your partner. Focus on using empathetic language and understanding each other's perspective.
"The strongest relationships aren’t built on everything going right, but on how we handle things when they go wrong."

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
