Order my new book, The Let Them Theory 👉 https://bit.ly/let-them 👈 It will forever change the way you think about relationships, control, and personal power. It all begins with two simple words: Let Them. 🔥 — In this episode, I’m getting brutally honest with you about #relationships. I’ve always shied away from giving #relationshipadvice, mainly because after 26 years of #marriage, I know the only secret is this: it takes a lot of consistent work. Over the past few years, Chris and I have been working through some really heavy issues with a couples’ #therapist. Today I share very personal revelations I’ve had about my own role in causing problems between us. After all we’ve been through, I’m really proud of my husband, Chris, and me for making it this long and doing the work to make it better. In the process of working hard to improve our relationship, I learned six powerful lessons that I felt compelled to share with you. Not because I hold the magic wand, but because I hope these lessons will save you the pain and heartaches I’ve caused myself and my husband. No matter what kind of relationship you might be in, working on, struggling with or hoping to save, these six lessons will provide a roadmap to make it better.
