In our last episode, Laura shared the moment she felt truly heard. Today (In Part 2 of our listening and repair series), Tim is back to tell his side - what changed in the quiet, how listening with his whole body replaced the urge to fix, and how that single pivot reshaped their marriage, parenting, and community.

We explore:

• Willingness over winning: dropping the agenda and the mask.
• Nine days apart: learning to listen to self before listening to a partner.
• Rupture & repair year one: catching patterns faster (hours, not days).
• The doorway to intimacy: why being heard makes vulnerability possible.
• Practical prompts to start hard conversations without “fixing.”

✨ Quote we sit with: “To really listen is to lean in softly with a willingness to be changed by what you hear.”

Try this: Laura closes with a guided practice to notice where distance lives in your body and take one breath-step closer — no fixing required.
