Do you sometimes feel like conversations with your partner are turning into arguments lately?
Or that youâre often misunderstood, even when you try to talk openly?
If youâve ever felt this way, youâre not alone.
I know. I've been there and know that feeling when you are seeking connection through a deep conversation but somehow that conversation just doesn't go as planned.
In a world where communication often falls shortâeven when we're looking at the same realityâmisunderstandings seem to grow, and the divide feels wider than ever. But what if you could break through those barriers? What if you could grab your partner by the hand and say, "There's something I really need to talk about"?
So, how can you do this?
Let me introduce you to my Communication Framework for Having Difficult Conversations. This thoughtful approach will help you address even the most sensitive topics with calm and understanding.Hereâs how you can get started:
1- Let Go of Being Right or Wrong â Shift the focus from âwinningâ the conversation to understanding each otherâs perspectives. This creates a safe space where both of you feel heard.
2- Rebuild the Affinity You Once Had â That deep connection you shared? Itâs still there. By focusing on that shared bond, youâll find it easier to navigate even the most difficult discussions.
3- Use The 2-Way Communication Cycle & The 2-Circle Method for Mutual Needs â These tools ensure that both of you feel understood and respected while addressing each otherâs needs.
If you want to learn how to apply these techniques and bring back meaningful, open conversations with your partner, make sure to listen to this weekâs podcast episode NOW!
I trust that with the right tools, youâll turn every conversation into a step toward greater connection and deep understanding.

Continuing with the topic of Sex & Intimacy â Last year, I sat down with Dr. Sadaf Lodhi for an episode titled "Where Sexual Intimacy and Emotional Intimacy Meet." As you know, in the past few weeks, Iâve released episodes focused on this theme, and since many of you were particularly interested, I thought now would be the perfect time to revisit this insightful conversation with Dr. Lodhi.
Sexual health remains a taboo topic in many circles, even for physicians. Many of us, including OBGYNs, didnât receive sufficient sexual education during our training. This is precisely why Dr. Sadaf Lodhi decided to become a sexual coach â to fill this significant knowledge gap.
Dr. Lodhi is a board-certified OBGYN and executive coach for women, with over 20 years of experience. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Michigan and her Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine from Michigan State University. She also completed her residency in gynecology and obstetrics in Michigan, and went on to earn her life and executive coach certification from Rutgers University.
Today, Dr. Lodhi runs a telehealth practice focusing on sexual and menopausal health, serving women in New York and Michigan. Her mission has always been to empower and educate women, helping them build sexual confidence and find pleasure in their relationships.
So if you missed this episode the first time around, or are eager to revisit the conversation, join us as we continue exploring where sexual intimacy and emotional intimacy meet. This is an important and ongoing conversation, and weâre excited to dive back into it with you!

Do you know what your Unanswerable Question (UAQ) is?
You might be wondering what I mean by that. Sometimes when I talk about your UAQ, people misunderstand.
The truth is, you can't answer this question for yourself.

The key is to turn inward and connect with your inner childâthe part of you that was wounded long ago and has carried that wound ever since.
In this episode, Iâll guide you on a journey to reconnect with that part of yourself, help you answer your Unanswerable Question, and introduce you to your three primal needsâand how to nourish them.
Tune in to get to know yourself better and to start living a more fulfilling and connected life.
