Reset Your Relationship: Tools to Build a Marriage That Fuels Every Area of Your Life

248 - This is Part 2 of the Foundational Energy Reset Series, where we’re tackling three core areas that either fuel your energy or quietly drain it away.

Today, we’re focusing on one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) parts of your foundation: your relationship with your spouse or significant other. This relationship doesn’t just affect the two of you, it shapes the energy of your entire household and your ability to show up fully in every other area of your life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Practical tools to strengthen your marriage and create the kind of relationship you’d want modeled to your children

• Why so many of us never learned the skills to handle conflict in a healthy way (and how to start now)

• How to repair “cracks” before they turn into energy drains that sabotage your goals

Your marriage can be your biggest source of energy or your biggest leak. Let’s make sure it’s fueling you so you can thrive at home and in the pursuit of your dreams.
