Mini Episode 2: Understanding Emotions Can Shortcut the Healing Process

One of the most important steps in this process for husbands and wives is to better understand their emotions.

Many people ignore or suppress them, but this actually slows down your progress. 

Emotions contain important messages. 

They send information that reveals an underlying need or something that needs attention.

The sooner you can decode what your emotions are trying to tell you, the sooner you can address the issue and find resolution.

171: One Step 100 Times vs 100 Steps – The Few Skills That Matter For Progress on Self and Marriage

In this episode, I reflect on a powerful moment from a couples counseling session where a wife expressed feeling overwhelmed by the journey ahead.

I shared a mindset shift with them: it’s not about 100 steps—it’s one step done 100 times.

Join me as we break down the most important elements to prioritize in your individual and relationship progress, helping you grow faster, avoid burnout, and stay focused on what truly matters.
