• Discussing the overwhelming mental load women carry
• Societal expectations and the "good wife" stereotype
• The correlation between overfunctioning and self-worth
• Unpacking overfunctioning as a coping strategy for stress
• Challenging fears of being seen as demanding in relationships
• Introducing the Reset and Reconnect Program to help shift dynamics

We all know that building healthy relationships requires open communication- but what when they don't want to hear what you have to say? What about those times when it just seems to cause or fight- or worse- leaves you feeling dismissed and ignored?

When it doesn't feel it's okay to say what you need to say, you can develop a habit of biting your tongue, stuffing down your needs, and just trying harder to be more tolerant, more understanding, more forgiving.

But this doesn't get us what we want- and sometimes, like in my story that I'm sharing with you here- it's actually just makes things worse.

So today we're diving deep into the self-sacrificing and peace-making tendencies that can create emotional distance and contribute to the erosion of a relationship over time.

Reset & Reconnect is open! This is a course for couples who want to create more balance, have more productive conversations and get back to things feeling fun and easy again.

Can a simple act of validation shift our relationships, both personally and professionally? Join me, April Boyd, as I share insights from my facilitator training session on the "Is it Me or Is it Them" podcast. We'll explore why acknowledging emotions is a critical ingredient in creating genuine connections, helping others and avoiding conflict.

Whether you're consoling a grieving friend, having a difference of opinion with a colleague, or talking to your partner, understanding the power of validation is key to ensuring everyone feels truly heard and understood. I delve into practical strategies to incorporate this essential tool into your everyday interactions, promising a new level of effective communication and deeper connection.

But that's not all! I extend an invitation to a free workshop aimed at helping you get your gifts and ideas into the world.

Is it just a rough patch or a sign of a deeper relationship issue? This is the question I should have been asking during my first marriage and today I'm finally going to share my story. Join me, April Boyd, as I unravel the complexities of relationship dynamics, unpacking the difference between temporary stressors and recurring patterns that may indicate something more serious. Through my personal experiences, I touch on the importance of recognizing when a pattern of feeling unseen and unheard becomes too persistent to ignore. This conversation invites you to reflect on your own relationships and consider whether your struggles are truly temporary or symptoms of a larger issue that needs your attention.

As we explore this topic, I'm thrilled to introduce an upcoming program designed to transform relationships by going deeper into your own personal growth, and reconnecting with the stronger, happier version of you as you change the ways you and your partner communicate and connect. Don't miss your chance to be part of this transformative journey; sign up for my email list to receive exclusive updates and invitations. Thank you for joining me on this path to living more authentic lives and nurturing the relationships that matter most!
