Conflict in marriage isn’t usually about the surface issue—it’s about what gets activated underneath.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really driving the arguments, shutdowns, and emotional distance so many couples find themselves stuck in.

We’re talking about the emotions that are hardest to feel, the coping strategies that keep backfiring, and why reacting in the moment so often makes things worse—even when your intentions are good.

You’ll learn what actually creates emotional safety between partners, how to stay grounded instead of reactive, and why regulating your own emotional experience is the key to calmer conversations, fewer blowups, and deeper connection.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re either walking on eggshells or stuck in the same fights on repeat, this conversation will help you see a new path forward.

If this episode is describing your marriage, don’t wait for the next argument to try to put these things in place. The help you need is available now to avoid that fight altogether.

I invite you to book a consultation call with me and explore exactly how working together in my private coaching program will help you have calmer, more connected conversations that actually end well. BOOK YOUR CALL HERE.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with your partner thinking,

“We’ve talked about this so many times… why does nothing ever change?”

In this episode, we’re talking about stuck conversations—the ones that keep looping around emotional needs, help and support, or personal growth… without ever really moving the relationship forward.

I break down what’s actually happening beneath the surface of these repeated discussions—especially the common dynamic where one partner has a clear vision and unmet expectations for the relationship and the other doesn’t share that vision, doesn’t fully understand it, or quietly resists it

I'll also walk you through what actually needs to shift—not just what to say, but:

• what to decide before the conversation
• how to redirect your energy during it
• and how to be radically honest with yourself after, especially when the outcome isn’t what you hoped for

If you’ve been doing everything you know how to do—and still feel stuck—this episode will help you zoom out, see the pattern more clearly, and understand what might finally help break the cycle.

This is the Moment to Get Help:

These conversations don’t fix themselves—and repeating them without support often makes things worse. A private consultation call gives you the outside perspective and structure needed to finally break the cycle. You can BOOK YOUR CALL WITH ME HERE

In this episode, we zoom out and look at the stuck stage of marriage—what it really is, why so many couples end up here, and the different ways partners try to cope when forward movement feels impossible.

You’ll hear why “sweeping things under the rug,” trying harder in the same ways, or emotionally checking out can all keep couples locked in place—especially when you and your partner cope very differently. One of you may want to talk it through. The other may want space. And instead of helping, those differences can deepen the distance.

More importantly, we’ll talk about what actually helps couples move forward in a healthy, grounded way—without blame, pressure, or forcing change.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What being “stuck” in a marriage really means (and why it’s more common than you think)
• The hidden impact of different coping styles when both partners feel frustrated or disconnected
• Why progress doesn’t start with fixing problems—but with stabilizing the foundation
• How clarity about what you want moving forward changes everything
• How addressing root issues (unmet emotional needs, negative stories, quiet resentment) opens the door to real collaboration
• What it looks like to approach your marriage as a team again

This conversation is for couples who haven’t given up—but know they can’t keep doing things the same way and expect different results.

If you’re ready to stop spinning in place and start moving forward with intention, compassion, and clarity, this episode is for you.
