from Take A Breath · host Polly Warren

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Lisa McFarland — a relationship coach whose honesty, warmth, and deep wisdom will stay with you long after the conversation ends.Lisa shares her personal journey of navigating challenges in her marriage — a relationship that began when she and her husband were teenagers. As life got busier and their connection frayed, they chose to seek help rather than walk away. That decision not only transformed their relationship, but it also sparked Lisa’s mission: to remove the shame around relationship struggles and help others build stronger, more conscious partnerships.Together, we explored so many powerful themes, including:Why the quality of your relationships impacts the quality of your lifeThe invisible mental load women carry — and how it’s affecting our connectionHow understanding your love languages can shift everything (with partners and kids)The quiet build-up of resentment — and what to do about itHow to reignite intimacy when spontaneous desire isn’t there anymoreWhat self-care really means How to know if a relationship is repairable — or notWhy self-awareness is one of the most underrated tools in any relationshipLisa’s approach is practical, compassionate, and totally free of judgment — just the kind of perspective I wish we were all taught earlier.If you’re in a relationship, questioning one, or simply curious about how to deepen your sense of connection and self-trust, I know this episode will speak to you.🔗 Connect with Lisa: Instagram: @relationshipcoachni Website: relationshipcoachni.comDownload 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.Download my energising 5 Minute Morning Practice to get your day started in the best way possible.To find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to:  https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at:  [email protected]://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/
