Spending the day sending my Confidence Building Secrets course out into the world and sipping coffee from the same @goodvibestoys mug that was gifted to me when I first launched this program. #pleasureisyourbirthright
In 2017 I was deep in reflection mode thanks to my CTI coaching program. One of my many “aha” moments was that I had a tendency to avoid difficult conversations in my relationships. If I was hurt or angry, I’d keep it to myself or share it with everyone but my partner. Inevitably, those feelings would manifest as passive-aggressive behavior or lead to conversations that included accusations like, “you never”. In other words, I would make gross generalizations that of course put the other person on the defensive and guaranteed that what I was trying to express wouldn’t be received. I knew the importance of good communication but somehow that knowledge wasn’t translating into action. 
Drawing on what I’d learned from my training program, immersing myself in the work of people like Esther Perel, Brené Brown, and Harriet Lerner, and reflecting on my own coaching practice, I put together a framework for how I wanted to engage with my partner. The process poured out of me in one sitting. It’s what Amy and I like to call “channeling” – that feeling when an idea flows effortlessly. 
The framework is based on three general principles:

We don’t need to share everything in order to be authentic. There are some things that are better processed with a friend, a therapist/coach, or a journal. 
Be clear with yourself first about what you need to get out of the conversation. You can’t get what you don’t ask for.

There are three “people” in every relationship – you, your partner and the relationship. You’re not responsible for the other person and you can’t change their behavior. You can change how you show up in the relationship and that will have a ripple effect.

I’ve had the opportunity to “test” my framework several times with my new partner and all I can say is this sh*t makes a difference. It truly feels like the culmination of my career thus far and I can’t wait to share it with you all. I’m still fine-tuning and tweaking, but I know I’m on to something. Amy is holding me accountable and helping me turn this into what I know it is meant to be – a book. Until then, if you feel like communication is something that you would like coaching on, click the link in bio.
