Today\u2019s episode is about bridging the gap between the relationship you have and the one you want. Today, I\u2019m joined by my friends Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos, a married couple and master relationship coaches with over 30 years of combined experience helping people heal relationship wounds, break the cycles that keep showing up in their love lives, and build the kind of relationship most people have stopped believing is possible. Stefanos is the author of a powerful new book, Tuned In and Turned On, which offers a path to self-healing, deeper connection, and true love that lasts. Christine brings the feminine perspective and spiritual psychology, while Stefanos brings deep work around masculinity, trauma, and what he calls Sacred Union. In our conversation, we discussed why relationships can be so challenging, even when both people are committed to growth. Christine and Stefanos also explain why attempting to change your partner often creates more disconnection, how unmet childhood needs are projected onto your relationship, and why true repair matters more than avoiding conflict in the first place.
