In this solocast I talk about the importance of following through on commitments. It’s basically keeping your word. If you say you'll do something, do it. Whether it's taking out the trash, meeting your partner for dinner, or attending their work event, follow through reliably. The key is consistently matching your actions with your words. Follow-through breeds trust and reliability in relationships. Essentially, partners who do what they say they'll do don't just gain trust; they earn it. Their actions give evidence that they are worthy of trust. This firm foundation is key for relationships to go the distance. “Only make commitments you know you can reasonably keep. Don't say yes to everything.”  - Pripo Teplitsky Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes HeartShare: Attitudes of Connection HeartShare: How Practicing Humility Helps Your Relatiopnships Compromising in a Relationship HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships How to Have the Partner You Most Want to Have Micro-Moments in Relationships Let’s Talk About It!

In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Gregg Levoy and we dive into this topic. Gregg is a frequent seminar leader who holds workshops in the faith-based, human-potential, educational, governmental, and business industries. He is a Passionate Living Expert who has penned bestselling books such as Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion as well as Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life which has been named as one of the Top 20 Career Publications by the Workforce Information Group. He regularly shares his insights and expertise as a frequent contributor to Psychology Today. Asking for help is not an easy task, especially because it elicits vulnerability. Many people have a difficult time asking for help because they don’t want to appear weak, put other’s out, seem inadequate, or fear it may be used against them at a later date. How good are you at asking for help? “You’re not weak or lazy...everyone needs support”  - Gregg Levoy Related Content: Other Podcasts with Gregg Levoy: Defensiveness Circling: A Powerful Communication Tool New Love...Taking Risks To Be Real The Loss of Touch What is a Generous Conversation   Connect with Gregg Levoy: Gregg Levoy websiteGregg Levoy on Facebook Let’s Talk About It!     Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Relationships!

In this solocast I talk about the importance of consciously being aware of the kind of attitude you are putting out and understanding how it influences the quality of connection you want.

n this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. She also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me. The longing to be seen, heard and considered is normal and vital. But if you don’t feel heard or understood by your partner (or vice-versa), chances are, neither you nor your partner are really present to each other as much as you could be. We don’t want others necessarily to agree with all our feelings, but what we crave is that they at least validate them. Rainbow and I talk about how this shows up in our relationship. “The best way to understand people is to listen to them” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky Related Podcasts: Giving Your Partner the Benefit of the Doubt Repair is Key to a Successful Relationship Aftermath of a Fight or a Regrettable Incident  The Importance of Apologies The Art of Apology Maintaining Connection Through Conflict   Let’s Talk About It!

Corey Costanzo is the co-owner of Asheville’s Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend. In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about how trauma effects relationships. Living through traumatic events may result in expectations of danger, betrayal, or potential harm within new or old relationships. People who experience trauma may become anxious or frightened in relation to others, experience them as having power or control, or easily feel abandoned or rejected. Still, others may become overprotective or dependent. Though it’s challenging, you can heal the trauma and change the effect it has on your life and relationships. “We are not made the same, and we all heal in our own way, our own time."

In this solocast I talk about humility and being humble. To be humble or practice humility means to value other people and their opinions without indulging in self-pride. It's the opposite of arrogance, boastfulness and vanity. A humble person does not always have to prove their point, be right, or lead the conversation because they are truly comfortable with who they are. Being vulnerable and showing humility to a romantic partner can allow for better communication and trust to develop in the relationship. “Humble partners are more likely to apologize readily and accept an apology with grace.”  - ~Pripo Teplitsky   Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships How to Have the Partner You Most Want to Have Micro-Moments in Relationships Body Awareness Can Help Us Relate   Let’s Talk About It!

In this solocast I talk about micromanaging. Micromanaging in a relationship is when one partner excessively controls or monitors the other partner's actions, often to the point of interfering with their independence and decision-making ability It is a form of control and manipulation when it is a constant in your relationship. Micromanaging often stems from a lack of trust or insecurity. It can also stem from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) tendencies. “Micromanaging in a relationship is unhealthy, exhausting, and will affect your happiness”  - ~Pripo Teplitsky   Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships How to Have the Partner You Most Want to Have Micro-Moments in Relationships Body Awareness Can Help Us Relate Let’s Talk About It!

Virginia Gilbert is a licensed marriage and family therapist serving clients in North Carolina and California. She specializes in helping people go through high conflict divorce, relationship problems with their partner and attachment trauma. In this episode, Virgina and I have a conversation about high conflict couples including high conflict divorce and ways to manage this dynamic. High conflict couples have a lot of intense, out-of-control, hurtful fights. Usually the fights are complicated, twisty, blaming, and contemptuous. The fighting also escalates quickly and both people say and do harmful things during conflict. “High-conflict individuals aren’t bad people; they just have poor strategies for getting their needs met, which makes them really tough to deal with “ - Virginia Gilbert Related podcasts: Aftermath of a Fight of a Regrettable Incident Control Issues Understanding the Shame Cycle Allowing Influence from Your PartnerEmotional Regulation Connect with Virginia Gilbert: https://virginiagilbertmft.com Let’s Talk About It!

She works with both couples and individuals who are striving to find deeper connection and intimacy both with themselves and each other. She helps her clients to see the patterns of relating that are holding them back from what they truly desire.

Responding to life’s call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world. Most of us are challenged to listen non-defensively when we are triggered or our conversations start to get intense. Listening without getting defensive is a skill that can be learned. First awareness is key, know that ourselves or the other is activated. Self-soothing is another step in the process in order to regulate ourselves so that we can listen with curiosity and the intent to understand, not defend.   “If neither partner is resourced in the moments right after activation, that’s when it gets really tricky." ~Cathy Courtenay   Connect with Cathy Courtenay: Cathy Courtenay Website Cathy Courtenay on FacebookCathy Courtenay on Instagram   Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes with Cathy Single Parenting: The Challenges and Rewards Developing a Healthy Relationship with Yourself Control Issues Relationship Sabotage Couples Communication: Circling Techniques Difficult Conversations   Let’s Talk About It!   Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Relationships!
