As I hope you know, I’m hosting a free masterclass on Overcoming Overwhelm during the first week of April. I've been preparing for it the past few weeks, which is probably why an interaction with my kids stood out to me a few days ago when I was feeling super overwhelmed and had a lot to do around the house.

In Monday's episode, we talked with therapist Eli Harwood about How to Be a Safe Place for Your Spouse, and one of her takeaways was that it's important to light up about the things that our partner lights up about. Sometimes our spouse’s differences don't feel very loveable to us, and their interests might even feel scary or threatening to us.
