Episode 11: Facing the Storm: Building Emotional Safety and Connection in Your Relationship.
from Playing The Fool · host Jarna Saunders
In this heartfelt and practical episode, we deep dive into one of the most powerful skills you can develop in a relationship - learning to walk in and FACE the storm of your relationship instead of avoiding it. I share my own experiences with Shane, my husband of 15 years, and the lessons we’ve learned about adult communication, emotional safety, and breaking the cycle of avoidance that can turn small disagreements and triggers into hurricanes. You’ll hear real coaching insights, a simple yet profound “storm” metaphor, and tangible ways to address tension in the moment so you can dissolve it before resentment builds and come back to love. No matter what your relationship or life looks like, this episode will help you to communicate with courage, meet each other in the “I’m okay, you’re okay” space, and turn moments of conflict into opportunities for closeness. If you are a parent this is a must listen too. 💌 Let’s keep the conversation going! Connect with me at www.jarnasaunders.com or come hang out on Instagram @jarna.saunders.
