Do you ever wake up Monday morning already feeling like you’re chasing your tail?

Who’s working when? What appointments do we have? What’s for supper? Who’s cooking? What do the kids or grandkids have going on? Do we have plans this weekend? When are we getting groceries?

In this episode of The Intuitive Marriage Method, I’m building on our conversation about communication and sharing a simple weekly ritual Barry and I are bringing into our own marriage: The Sunday Reset.

The Sunday Reset is a simple 20 to 30 minute weekly marriage ritual designed to help couples slow down, connect, look at the week ahead and actually communicate their expectations before Monday arrives.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Work schedules, appointments and activities
• Kids, grandkids and family commitments
• Meals, groceries and who’s cooking
• Communicating expectations instead of assuming
• Asking your partner what they need from you this week
• Making room for rest and individual downtime
• Intentionally planning fun and connection
• Checking in with how you’re both feeling
• Ending your reset with appreciation for each other

Because sometimes those little frustrations in marriage come down to something pretty simple:

“I thought you knew.”

Your partner can’t read your mind, even if you’re intuitive. 😉

The Sunday Reset isn’t about perfectly planning every minute of your week. It’s about creating a regular space to communicate, understand what’s happening in each other’s worlds and start the week feeling like a team.

Try ending your Sunday Reset with three simple questions:

What do you need this week?
What do we need this week?
What can we look forward to together?

I’ve created a free Sunday Reset: A Weekly Marriage Ritual printable that you and your partner can use each week to guide the conversation, communicate your expectations and get on the same page before the week begins.

Grab your free copy through the link in the episode description and try it together this Sunday.

Because a connected marriage isn’t only built in the big romantic moments.

Sometimes it’s built on a Sunday night, sitting together, figuring out the week ahead and remembering that underneath all the busyness...

there’s still an us. 💜

Are you throwing stones??!!

Communication is one of those things we are often very good at criticizing in other people, but how often do we stop and look at the way we communicate?

In this episode, I’m catching you up on where I’ve been, what I’ve been working on, and some very exciting news about my upcoming book, Worthy of Love: A Journey to Self-Worth and a Thriving Marriage.

I’m also moving into the second foundation of the Intuitive Marriage Method: communication.

Communication is about so much more than the words we say to our spouse. It shows up in how we express our needs, communicate our expectations, respond when we are hurt, handle conflict, and interact with our children, family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers.

It is easy to focus on how someone else speaks to us, what they are doing wrong, or why they should know what we need. It is much harder to pause and ask ourselves:

Was I clear about what I needed?

Was I truly listening?

What did my tone and body language communicate?

Was I trying to resolve the situation, or was I trying to prove that I was right?

Am I holding someone else accountable for something I may also be doing?

Sometimes better communication begins with looking at our own side of the street.

In this episode, we talk about communication, expectations, defensiveness, passive aggressive behaviour, accountability, and why throwing stones becomes dangerous when we are all living in glass houses.

I also share more about the Marriage Wheel research I’m gathering for Worthy of Love and the incredible insights women are already discovering about themselves and their relationships.

If you are married, common law, in a long term committed relationship, or reflecting on a past relationship, I would love for you to participate. Complete the Marriage Wheel Assessment, share what came up for you, and help me reach my goal of hearing from 100 women.

Because when we become more aware of how we communicate, we create space for more honesty, understanding, connection, and growth.

In this episode:

• Why communication is about more than simply talking
• How unspoken expectations affect our relationships
• The difference between listening and waiting for our turn to respond
• How tone, body language, assumptions, and defensiveness shape a conversation
• Why passive aggressive communication rarely gives us what we need
• The importance of taking accountability for our own communication patterns
• How the Marriage Wheel can offer a new perspective on yourself and your relationship
• An update on my upcoming book, Worthy of Love

A question to reflect on:

Before pointing out how someone else communicates, are you willing to take an honest look at your own words, reactions, expectations, and behaviour?

Sometimes the most powerful change in a relationship begins with us.

Some episodes are planned...

Then there are the ones that simply arrive.

Today is my mum's heavenly birthday. She would have been 94, and as I spent some quiet time reflecting, meditating, and pulling Starseed Oracle cards, I felt an unexpected message come through. One that felt too important not to share.

Maybe it's because today is also the Buck Full Moon... maybe it's about new beginnings... or maybe this message is simply meant to find the people who need it most.

I don't know who this episode is for... but if you found it, maybe it's for you.

I'd love to hear what resonated with you.

✨ The Starseed Oracle cards are by Rebecca Campbell, with artwork by Danielle Noel.

💜 I'm also writing a book about love, self worth, and thriving relationships.

If you have a story from your marriage or long-term relationship that could inspire other women, I'd love to hear from you. You may even be featured in my upcoming book or invited to share your story on my podcast or YouTube channel.
