168. Celebrating the differences between us

Welcome to the Podcast!! The girls keep things real in this episode, Anna is sharing a very real experience, about money, relationships and being triggered by all. Spring is on the horizon and Sara is feeling loved up so she's banking on this for when the reserves are a little lower.    Love Desk: Sharing new concepts you may have not heard of before, today this is 'weaponized responsibility'. This could be a hot topic in its way as the girls delve deep into the ramifications of miscommunication and misaligned priorities leading to potential challenges and breakdowns, particularly within household responsibilities. Does anyone resonate with the road trip playlist scenarios?    Hot Topic: Celebrating the differences between us A great hot topic that follows on from the love desk. From exploring deeply embedded belief systems and values to the simple way we handle tasks and day-to-day requirements. The differences between us can lead to some seismic gaps between us.    There is often a baseline level of compatibility, but this doesn't override the fact that there are differences between us, as demonstrated by the Gottman Institute research 60 to 70% of things between you will never be resolved.    If you can work on the principle there is no right or wrong, only difference, it's all to be celebrated.    Question: "My partner and I have been fighting for well over two years, we have one child together and I have three stepchildren, we've been married for 6 years and more recently it feels like it's us against them. I'm tired of all the arguing, help!"    A question that creates more questions for our Relationship Coaches, they are curious about how this started, when it started and what may have triggered the disharmony. What are the dynamics in this relationship that are triggering a negative in this relationship? The cycle can be difficult to identify and break. This listener sounds like they feel isolated in this relationship which is a red flag. You should also feel safe in your own home.   Often the blended family is the assumed source of disharmony but this might not be the case. You have no idea if you would come up against the same challenges had you stayed in your prior relationship with the maternal parent.    The girls finish this relationship workout on a high.    Till next time!   Get in touch Geordie Lass & Doc Sass Email - [email protected] with your relationship hot topics or questions.
