Episode 71: Let It Go (Part I)

Too many people go through their marriages confined in the space of negative experiences. You don’t have to be one of them. It takes energy to make positive things happen. Holding onto an undesirable past or present takes up too much mental and emotional space and energy. So, how do you get to that point where the past no longer holds you back, and you’re able to build a marriage that you want.  

In this episode, I share three powerful questions to ask yourself to learn the deep impact of holding on to these things and why you haven’t let go. I want you to reflect on these questions from a space of curiosity and depth. Next week I will share with you very specific strategies that you can implement to experience freedom on the other side of this mindset work.     

If you want to take this work deeper and you need some help with the specific challenges that you are facing in your marriage,  you can contact me directly for a Complimentary Consultation at  https://drchavonne.com and I will share with you exactly how to turn things around so that you can make your marriage good again.

Episode 65: Exacerbated Issues

So often we exacerbate issues by making a circumstance worse than it really is simply by layering on so much more to the facts than necessary. This causes a situation to be heavier, harder and more difficult than it needs to be. When we react to these exacerbations we say things that are unkind and accusatory because we are feeling angry, disrespected, hurt or rejected for something that may not be true. The result of this is distance between you and your spouse, more exacerbated issues and a never ending cycle of hurt and pain.

I want to share with you some practical ways to end this cycle by offering you some ways to think about these situations differently. Once you can shift the way you view a situation that causes you to feel so much hurt, stress, frustration and aggravation just imagine what that can open you up to experience instead such as ease, peace and relaxation.  

If you find that you can use my help maintain a more productive mindset in this area, please contact me for a free 1 hour consultation at https://drchavonne.com/work-with-me. I am here to help you grow your thinking and create more effective and better solutions that work for you.

Episode 62: Emotional Training

Today I would like to introduce the concept of Emotional Training. This concept can be compared to working out. You build muscles because you push yourself beyond what is comfortable and then the muscle gets stronger and bigger and you’re more lean. It is the same for emotional training. It is the idea that you are willing to push yourself past what feels comfortable in order for you to grow and for the growth of your marriage. The more expansive you are in your emotions, the more life you get to experience. The benefits are endless.

In this episode I share three powerful questions to ask yourself. Listen in to learn more.

Today we will be discussing the Growth Effect and exploring the new outcomes you can create in your life/marriage as a result of your own growth. Nothing new can happen without growth. In order to go from where you are now, something has to change. Your growth matters to your marriage.

Episode 60: Radical Responsibility

Hello there! I am so happy to be back and to be spending this time with you. Today I want to share with you the concept of Radical Responsibility. Radical Responsibility is you taking full ownership of the experience you have, the result you create, or dynamics between you and your husband. This is not something we are taught, or wired to WANT to do. But when we do embrace radical responsibility, so much good can come of it. It becomes the greatest source of your own empowerment.

Listen in as we take a deep dive into Radical Responsibility. I’ll be sharing why we don’t want to do it, the benefits of doing it, how to actually apply this concept to your own life and marriage.

What to Do When Your Marriage is Failing

You don’t need anyone to show you what to do.
 
You are already brilliant and highly capable.
 
You need someone to show you how to think.
 
Then the doing part is so much easier.
 
The first couple of business coaches I hired gave me all the strategy, all the checklists and all templates.
 
All the things to DO.
 
And I learned a ton from them.
 
But my results didn’t change that much.
 
It wasn’t until I came across a coach that showed me how to think that everything changed.
 
And now I rarely ask anyone to tell me what to do.
 
Can you imagine that for yourself right now?
 
I’m sure you’ve been wondering what to do about the communication issues between you and your husband.
 
You’re wondering what to do in order to rebuild a connection.
 
You’re wondering what to do so you can be on the same page about important issues and feel like a team.
 
You’re wondering what to do so that he will finally listen and pay attention to what you need.
 
And there will be no shortage of people around to tell you what to do.
 
But in me, you will find someone who will show you how to think.
 
I’ll tell you to stop focusing on what your husband is doing wrong, and to think about all that’s within your power to do right.
 
I’ll tell you to think about what you want and what’s actually possible for your marriage as opposed to focusing on all the problems and what’s happened in the past.
 
I’ll tell you to think about the ways you are not showing up as your best and how that’s contributing to your unhappiness more than anything outside of you.
 
I’ll tell you to think about how much of your fulfillment you’ve placed in his actions, and how you can powerfully choose to take responsibility for your own emotional life.
 
How you think makes all the difference for how and what you do to improve your marriage.
 
If your right actions have not been getting you the right results, take a closer look at the thinking that’s driving you.
 
💜💜

P.P.S. When you are unhappy in your marriage it can feel impossible to think like a woman who is actually happy in her marriage.
You don’t even know where to start.
In my 1-on-1 coaching program, one of the first things we will do is have you envision yourself in the kind of marriage that you deeply desire to have.
We do a series of exercises to get right into the mind of that version of yourself who has all the answers so that you rely on her thought process instead of your current one.
Then I guide you, week-by-week to becoming her by making powerful shifts in the way that you think and make decisions, so that over time you actually become that woman who is happy in her marriage.
It’s an amazing thing.
