In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about a moment in my relationship that challenged me to rethink how I show up with affection and vulnerability. When Walt brought up how I was responding to his attempts for affection, my initial reaction was resistance and blame. I’ll walk you through the feelings that surfaced, how I realized my judgments were based on old memories and past fears, and the breakthrough that came from leaning into vulnerability.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
•The power of pausing and reflecting before reacting to your partner
•Why past fears can build walls in your current relationship
•How to shift from judgment to curiosity and openness
•The importance of being present and vulnerable to build trust and closeness
You’ll leave this episode with a new perspective on how your past experiences may be impacting your ability to connect with your partner, and how practicing presence and vulnerability can help rebuild trust and intimacy.
Listen now to learn how being present and vulnerable can lead to deeper connection in your relationship.
Key Highlights:
•The conversation with Walt that sparked this insight
•Why we often feel defensive when our partner asks for more
•How old memories can shape our present reactions
•What happens when we choose vulnerability over protection
If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to work on bringing more vulnerability and trust into your relationship, I’d love to help. Let’s have a conversation about how coaching can support you.
