Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi When You Tripped Up When Michelle became a first-time bride at 43 she realized both she and her husband had been living very individual lives for a long time.  Her trip up was when she let her expectations go unspoken and then got upset at him because he did not pick up on what her expectations were and address them. “I created my own personal drama.” What she learned is that her husband is actually very willing to help her in almost every case if she expresses her wants or needs to him in a way that he can respond. (These are some great stories I am sure you will relate to no matter if you are a man or a woman.) The “DUH” moment that changed your partnerships forever Michelle had a “DUH” moment one Christmas day when she went out to shovel snow from the driveway because her husband had not done it yet, even though he said he would. Her ah-ha was that it is not only what she does in her partnership, but also the intention behind it.  And considering how that intention might come across to her partner. She learned that it is very important be honest with herself about her intentions and to communicate them to her partner. Proudest moment in partnership Michelle was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 4 years ago.  And she felt like she was loosing all of her femininity. While she was always a very strong and independent woman, she was in a place where she needed support. She learned how to be in touch with her needs and desires and how to express and ask for what she wanted in a more powerful way.  Being receptive to this support allowed her develop and deepen friendships like never before.

Her husband not only was supportive, but he actually became her most ardent supporter, fan and even a partner. She wouldn’t have had the courage to make the leap from corporate America without her partnership with her husband.

She never wanted to be vulnerable because she thought that it meant that she would only get hurt. Find out what happened next by listening to the episode.

Do you follow your "Yes?" Following your "Yes" is about you taking a step forward in your partnerships by taking action and applying at least one thing you heard from our guests during their interviews this week. On today’s episode, all of this week’s guests have generously provided BONUS MATERIAL, not included in the interviews you listened to earlier this week. Each one has provided incredible examples of the power of following your “Yes”.  Enjoy! Todd Creager Not Following - One that comes to mind for Todd is when he was married for about 8-10 years at the time. He was a practicing therapist and was asked by a group of therapists to go consult with them on some couples cases. There was a practice called EMDR that Todd was interested in because he saw this group using it. He ended up pushing it off and almost 15 years after finally used it, and it was wonderful. Find out why Todd waited so long and didn’t initially follow his “yes” by listening to his interview. Following - Todd and his wife had a child and then she wanted a second, but Todd wasn’t sure if he wanted a second. Him and his wife talked about it a bit and he then waited for a while and thought about it. What gave him that “yes” is when he thought about his current child by herself without a second, and he felt a dip in energy. Then, he thought about what it would be like with two children, and he felt an increase in energy. Find out the rest of the story by listening to the podcast.
