  <title>290. 2 Things Getting In the Way of Connecting with Your Spouse</title>
  <description>Hey there! Before we dive into today's podcast, let me give you a sneak peek into my chaotic life as a mom wrangling kids for dinner and soccer practice. But hey, this won't be a long episode. I'm thrilled to share that come January, I'm launching a new course, and if you're on the email list, you'll be the first to know, with some exclusive offers coming your way. Today, I'm delving into a topic close to my heart—relationships. I've been thinking about two major hurdles we often face: firstly, not seeing people from the heart, reacting instead of understanding; and secondly, the reluctance to self-reflect when things go awry. Drawing from a recent experience with my son and his teacher, I emphasize the importance of both parties owning up to their roles. So, here's the deal: practice pausing when triggered, understand your own stories, communicate openly, and embrace self-reflection. If you haven't joined the &amp;quot;Resentment Trap '' course, you're missing out—link's in the show notes with a special discount. Lastly, a personal note, Peter and I are sharing a profound story on my new YouTube channel—check it out, share, and tag me. Your support means the world. Love you all and catch you on the next episode! &amp;amp;nbsp; “We make the unconscious conscious, we speak to the thing that is happening. That's always the starting point is to speak to the thing that is happening.” – Joy Harrington&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp;   Reflecting on two common challenges: not understanding people from the heart and avoiding self-reflection.   Speak to your feelings and trigger stories to diminish their power and make the unconscious conscious.   Encouraging a pause when triggered, emphasizing the need to understand personal stories and open communication for healthier relationships.
