His Perspective: Why Your Husband Doesn't Understand Your Journey & How to Get His Buy-In

I talk with women about their body and health goals everyday. And I can help many of them. Here's how part of that conversation sometimes goes… I ask about your biggest struggles, and you pour out your angst and pain.    IF I can help you, and I feel like you're a good fit for my coaching, I share what I do and how we'd work together so you reach your goals. You tell me:  "YES!  This is exactly what I need!" Then sometimes you add:  "But I have to talk to my husband." You'll say he's "supportive," but you still need to ask him. In today's episode, Roger joins me to lend us the "male perspective" and to talk about this issue of husbands being "supportive" versus "understanding."  He sheds light on why husbands can't possibly understand what we're going through. And he explains why your husband won't think you need help to resolve it. We tell a few personal stories, giving you more insight into what we've been through. And Roger shares tips and advice for how to approach your husband about this issue, so he will be much MORE supportive and understanding.    Join us for this chat and let me know your thoughts!
