Fixing Your Partner Doesn’t Work

🔄 The Fixing Loop 

So many couples get stuck here:

“If they just listened better…”

“If they changed that one thing…”

“If they cared as much as I do…”

But it’s rarely about the thing itself.

It’s about what’s underneath.

🔐 It’s not about control, it’s about safety 

What we truly long for isn’t to control each other.

It’s to feel safe enough to connect.

Without that safety, we hide. We blame. We criticize. We withdraw.

But something shifts when we speak from within ourselves: what we really feel, want, and need, without blame or judgment.

💬 Authenticity creates space for change 

When we stop trying to fix and start expressing clearly:

Defense drops.

Listening opens.

Understanding becomes possible.

This is the art of a Courageous Conversation.

Not trying to change someone.

But sharing what’s in your heart in a way they can truly hear.

🫶 You’re not alone 

If you’ve ever been on either side of this loop, you’re not broken, wrong, or bad.

You’re simply human.

But there is a better way.

I’ll be guiding a group through exactly how to break this cycle and rebuild connection, without losing yourself.

Details coming soon.

Stay Courageous
