4 Habits of Healthily Attached Couples with Katherine Woodward Thomas

Liesel Rigsby and I met 10+ years ago at a workshop in Joshua Tree, California, and I was instantly drawn to her wisdom, soulfulness, depth, intuitive spirit, and luminous presence.

She is also founder of the internationally renowned Soulmate School, which instantly lit up my heart when we met. 😍 And she is known and beloved for her unique ability to energetically ‘see’ what women need to shift in order to build a life of deeply fulfilling and lasting love. 

Join us for this episode as Liesel shares her beautiful wisdom and answers these questions...

❤️ What's the main purpose of relationships?

❤️ What are some common relationship myths that cause us harm?

❤️ How do we best approach the inevitable triggers in relationships so they are a source of healing, rather than conflict?

❤️ What's a powerful question we can ask our partner when we see them triggered?

❤️ What is a "soulmate?"

❤️ How does not feeling good enough impact us in relationships?

❤️ Why is wholeness so important in our relationships?

❤️ How is our relationship with ourselves mirrored in our relationship with others?

❤️ How do we become energetically magnetic to our potential or current partner?

❤️ & lots more!

 

For the past 15 years, Liesel has helped women from all walks of life (CEO's, therapists, homemakers, lawyers, life coaches, healers, divorced moms, elders and more) from all over the world fall in love with themselves, clear their energetic blocks to divine partnership, and create lasting love.

I had the absolute delight of sitting down with Dr. Amelia Nagoski, NY Times Bestselling book of​ "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle." ​

 

Anyone in a relationship has undeniably discovered the negative impacts of stress, not only on our individual health (in mind, body, heart, and spirit) but also on the health of our connection (particularly if not managed well between us). 

 

This is a must-listen to understand stress in a whole new way (that's backed by science) -- and how we can work together to counteract it.

 

In this episode, we talk about...

1:23 - The inspiration and personal story behind writing "Burnout" 

6:30 - How to detect warning signs that stress is negatively impacting your health

11:12 - How to unlearn what we've been told stress looks like

12:00 - How stress appears in a romantic relationship

13:56 - Revelatory insights about the beginning, middle, and end of the stress cycle and how we often get stuck in the middle without completing it

18:59 - The keys to completing the stress cycle

28:38 - The pitfalls of trying to manage your stress externally

35:11 - Unachievable “reasonable expectations” and the layers of stress and stressors

44:55 - Amelia sings a little tune about unspoken agreements and expectations that contribute to burnout in a relationship

50:00 - How self care is not a solo practice and how to support your partner from experiencing burnout

55:00 - What a "thriving relationship" means to Amelia
