Welcome! Iâm Jessica, a couples therapist and relationship coach with over 10 years of experience helping couples navigate relationship challenges. In this podcast, we focus on building stronger, more loving connections by tackling common issues like communication struggles, trust problems, loneliness, and the need for appreciation, intimacy, and connection. We dive deep into the world of love consciousness and its link to spirituality, exploring practical ways to connect with your higher power through meditation and self-help techniques. Each episode sheds light on barriers to love consciousnessâsuch as past trauma and internal strugglesâthat make forgiveness and love challenging. My goal is to encourage you to become a relationship visionary, someone who sees their relationship as a higher purpose and strives to ensure both partners feel valued and connected. I discuss overcoming challenges and creating a relationship where both partners are respected and understood. Join me on this transformative journey to better relationships. Letâs work together to cultivate love and connection in your life. Subscribe now and start your path to a more conscious and loving relationship.

Ever find yourself in a conversation where your partner says something thatâs just⌠wrong? Maybe they misremember what you said or twist the factsâand youâre thinking, âI canât let that slide.â
In this episode, weâre digging into that momentâthe one that either leads to resolution or kicks off a recycled fight. Iâll walk you through why correcting your partner (even when theyâre wrong) often backfires, and what to do instead to actually resolve issues without triggering defensiveness or disconnection.
Iâm also sharing a personal story from my own relationship (yes, I had to admit I was wrong đ ), a powerful takeaway from Jim Jammâs TED Talk, and my go-to exercise I use in the therapy room to help couples get clear on what really matters in a disagreement.
What youâll learn in this episode:
-
Why telling your partner theyâre wrong doesnât usually helpâand what works better
-
How defensiveness gets in the way of connection and what itâs really protecting
-
Why curiosity is more powerful than correction when it comes to resolving conflict
-
The 6-step framework I use with clients to move out of gridlock and into meaningful conversation
-
The one exception when correcting your partner might actually be helpful đ
Bottom line?
You donât need to win the fight. You need to figure out what matters most, understand whatâs really going on beneath the argument, and decide who you want to be in the middle of it.
