We’re often told that as our children grow, the path toward ‘freedom’ should get clearer, with parenting becoming less hands-on. But what happens when you find yourself still in the trenches, feeling isolated and exhausted, even as your kids get older? You’re not alone.

How would it feel to have conversations that go beyond tasks to tap into what you’re really craving; to be seen, heard and connected with?

Let’s get you on path with tweaking one tiny thing to change everything in your relationship and world.

In this episode we discuss:
- How easily communication can turn into a list of who is doing what
- Feeling disconnected and resentful
- Understanding masculine and feminine energy needs
- Transactional communication pulling you further from what you really want and need
- Not landing ‘in’ each other, but running in the same direction
- Tiny shifts in your daily check-in, with big impacts
- Learning to be independent and having your own back…but avoiding vulnerability
- Validating invisible labour within yourself so your external world can reflect that
- Feeling dehydrated and full of tension to spacious and refreshed
- The importance of structure to facilitate deeper connection
- Transforming day-to-day conversations into moments of heart-opening connection
