Obsessed With Love: ft. Dr. Jackie Black (The Brené Brown Inspired Series)

What is love? Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines love as:We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness, and affection.Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can be cultivated between two people only when it exists within each one of them—we can love others only as much as we love ourselves.In this episode, Dr. Jackie Black shares how couples can cultivate love and sustain it not only in this month of love but in each and every day of their lives. Dr. Jackie aims for couples to live every day like they are on their honeymoon, embracing and solidifying couplehood as a result. She also focuses on the importance of connection – knowing how to connect and stay connected, which she believes most couples don’t know is the key to a long-lasting relationship. She gives tips on how to master this art of connection, mainly through being openhearted and vulnerable.Dr. Jackie is a relationship educator and a board-certified couples coach who has helped over 1,000 couples in eight countries learn, grow, thrive, and have fun together for them to experience deeper, more meaningful connections and intimacy and rekindle and strengthen their relationships.What You Will Learn From This Episode03:00 - What Dr. Jackie Black is obsessed with05:05 - Valentines Day as a trap for women08:12 - Working with and coaching couples11:00 - Having zero tolerance for conflict 12:47 - Linking intimacy with vulnerability13:33 - The center between alienation and intimacy18:34 - Taking responsibility for one’s part25:17 - Dr. Jackie’s advice on getting things rightResources MentionedBrené Brown’s 30 core emotions Atlas of the HeartConnect with Dr. Jackie BlackWebsite (Dr. Jackie Black)Website (Ask Dr. Jackie)FacebookTwitterLinkedInSee What Your Obsessed Girls Are Doing and Send Us Feedback!CROWN AND COMPASS | Linktree - https://linktr.ee/crownandcompassgirls Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
