Anxiety doesn’t just live in one partner’s body. It sneaks into your marriage, too. From restless nights to snappy arguments, it has a way of becoming the uninvited third wheel. But here’s the good news: anxiety doesn’t have to divide you. It can actually be a chance to strengthen your bond.

In this episode of Relationship Reset, I’m opening up about my own journey with anxiety and how it’s impacted my marriage over the years. I’ll share what happens in your brain and nervous system when anxiety spikes, why it spills over into your relationship, and the common triggers that high-achieving couples face.

You’ll also learn practical, real-world tools:

  • For the anxious partner: how to name it, ground yourself, and separate fact from story.
  • For the supporting partner: how to listen without fixing, ask the right question, and hold the bigger picture.
  • For both of you: how to create an “anxiety plan” so you can respond as a team instead of turning against each other.

Because when you learn how to face anxiety together, you stop fighting each other and start fighting for your relationship.

Listen in now and if you’re ready to go deeper, book a Relationship Game Plan Call with me. Together, we’ll create a customized path to help you and your partner break free from cycles of anxiety and reconnect in ways that feel safe, supportive, and full of love.
