Welcome back to The Happy Wife Mentor Podcast!

In this episode of our 7 Keys to Love & Connection in Marriage Mini Series, Jenny dives into Key #4: Stop Controlling Him — a sneaky way wives can unintentionally disrespect their husbands.

Jenny shares her own story of being shocked to discover just how much control showed up in her marriage, even when she thought she wasn’t “that kind of wife.” From childhood wounds that led to hyper-independence, to everyday habits like correcting how he drives or handles money, Jenny unpacks the hidden ways control creeps in — and why it’s such a major turnoff for husbands.

You’ll discover how “helpfulness” can often feel like “control” to your man, why it comes from fear and mistrust, and practical ways to stop controlling so you can build back respect, connection, and attraction in your marriage.

What you’ll learn:

• The surprising everyday behaviors that come across as controlling
• Why “helpful in wife language” often translates to “controlling in husband language”
• How childhood disappointments and trauma fuel hyper-independence
• Why men pull away when they feel controlled (and what attracts them back)
• The freedom that comes when you trust him to lead and make decisions

If you’ve been feeling distant in your marriage, these shifts may be exactly what you need to bring back the closeness and connection you’re longing for.

We’re continuing our 7 Keys to Love & Connection in Marriage Mini Series with Key #2: Taking Excellent Care of Yourself.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you just want to run away, this episode is for you. Jenny shares her own story of being a “Yes Girl” who tried to do it all — from elaborate birthday parties to volunteering and working full-time — and how it eventually caught up with her in burnout. She opens up about the real cost of neglecting self-care and why it’s nearly impossible to be patient, loving, and respectful in your marriage when you’re running on empty.

You’ll walk away with three practical tips to help you stop the cycle of exhaustion, release perfectionism, and start filling your cup again — guilt-free.

What you’ll learn:

• Why “always saying yes” robs you of the energy your marriage needs
• How to rediscover what actually makes you happy (and make time for it daily)
• Why crankiness and resentment are signs of self-care neglect
• The surprising freedom that comes with letting go of perfectionism
• How to stop comparing yourself to highlight reels on social media
