Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In this heartfelt episode, they reveal how emotional attunement can transform your relationship. Through powerful real-life coaching stories, a surprising Pixar metaphor, and simple tools like the emotions wheel, they show why validation and empathy, not quick fixes, are the key to lasting connection. Whether you’re newly together or years into marriage, this conversation will help you build emotional literacy, strengthen intimacy, and create a bond that lasts.
