This week, we're featuring Adele Currin, a relationship and communication coach, for a transformative conversation about the real skills we need for thriving, fulfilling relationships. Adele opens up about her own journey through the ups and downs of marriage, and how those experiences inspired her to help others navigate their own relationship challenges.

🗝️ Three key takeaways:

1️⃣ Emotional Regulation is Foundational: Learning how to identify, sit with, and manage our emotions is the first step to healthier interactions. Without emotional regulation, issues like resentment and anger can quickly build a wall between partners.

2️⃣ Personal Responsibility Changes Everything: Adele emphasized the importance of looking inward—not just at what the other person is doing “wrong,” but at our own habits, reactions, and opportunities for growth. Taking ownership is a skill that can transform relationship dynamics.

3️⃣ Communication is Multifaceted: It’s more than just speaking your mind. True communication means listening with empathy, expressing your needs clearly and without blame, and checking for understanding. Developing these habits (not just learning the concepts!) is key to real change.

Main takeaway: Mastering relationships requires the same commitment to practice and skill-building as any area of life. With focused effort on emotional maturity, responsibility, and communication, we can create stronger, more resilient partnerships.
