If you push down your feelings and tell yourself to 'man up,' 'she’ll be righ't and keep going on with life, what happens?

Bottling your emotions will make you more confused, more frustrated, disconnected from your partner, your kids, your friends, yourself!

Despite telling yourself you’re fine, this internalising leaves you carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

If you find yourself bottling your emotions this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down how suppressing your feelings leads to cycles of stress, conflict in your relationship, and even harm your mental health.

We’ll talk about how opening up doesn’t make you weak – it makes you stronger, more present and more connected.

If communication is the foundation of connection how come relationships can feel distant, strained and disconnected?

What are you not talking about with your partner?

You know those times when:

• You want to share how you’re feeling, but you don’t know where to start, so you stay silent.
• Your partner brings up an issue, and instead of addressing it, you either shut down or get defensive.
• You feel like no matter what you say, it’s taken the wrong way, so you avoid the conversation altogether.
• Or maybe you’ve tried to open up, but it feels awkward, and you’re not sure if you’re doing it ‘right.’

In this episode we discuss how you can change this, have better conversations and deepen the connection in your relationship
