Episode 51: Courage & Relationships: Why It's The Secret Ingredient For Lasting Love

What does courage have to do with your relationship? The answer is: well everything! The more you care about someone, the more you need it.

When it comes to our relationships, we tend to think that communication is our number one challenge. It's not. Our biggest hurdle in relationships is our ability to show up for the conversation. Without the courage to show up, we’ll decide to keep sitting on what’s bothering us until...

We either give up on having the conversation at all after several failed attempts or rip our partner’s face off because we’ve finally had enough. This is exactly what happens when we don’t have the courage to show up for a conversation.

This week in the love shack we are excited and delighted to have Eric Winters with us. Eric is the author of Swipe Right on Your Best Self: simple steps to a bolder life with fewer regrets, which is all about the ability to delve into your courage, so you can rely on it being there for you when you need it most. His know-how is a result of over 20 years of international corporate life, two master’s degrees in human behavior change and over 12 years helping leaders and their teams become their best selves to meet workplace challenges effectively. 

Because Tom and I know courage is also needed for healthy relationships; this conversation is sure to be one that will change the way you face the challenges of love too.
