Resentment in marriage often feels like an inevitable part of long-term relationships. That slow burn of frustration when your spouse doesn't help with the dishes, or the familiar irritation when they make plans without checking with you first. These everyday moments can accumulate into something that feels permanent and insurmountable, creating distance between partners who once felt deeply connected.
This week, my sister Natalie Clay returns to the podcast as our resident couples coach to challenge this assumption. She brings a fresh perspective on resentment that turns conventional wisdom on its head - suggesting that resentment isn't about your partner's behavior at all.
Tune in as we unpack Natalie's definition of resentment and how it creates long-term disconnection. You'll discover a simple filter for making decisions that preserve connection rather than breed resentment, and learn why saying "yes" when you mean "no" might be the real culprit behind marital frustration. Most importantly, you'll understand how resentment actually offers valuable information about your own vulnerabilities and growth opportunities.

| 0:00.0 | Is resentment just a normal part of most everybody's marriage? Or is it optional? Is it possible to have a resentment-free marriage? My guest today claims that it is. And she happens to be my sister Natalie Clay. I'm so excited to have her back on the podcast. It's been a while since we've heard from Natalie, who is our resident couples coach. And today, she's teaching us how to have a resentment-free marriage. |
| 0:27.5 | Now, before we dive into my conversation with Natalie, I want to tell you about something I'm |
| 0:31.6 | really excited about that we're offering around the first of the year, but it's available now. |
| 0:35.9 | And it is my get it all done without feeling |
| 0:39.3 | overwhelmed system that I call it better than busy. I pride myself on not being busy and also |
| 0:46.4 | accomplishing all the things I want to in my life. I don't like to say no to things that I want to do. |
| 0:52.6 | I don't like to have to minimize and sacrifice things in my life. Obviously, I do have to make some sacrifices. But overall, I feel like I get to do most of the things I want to do. I get to be there with my kids and be a very present mother. And I've built this massively successful business. And I have lots of time for self-care and I take naps y'all. |
| 1:11.9 | It's a new thing I started. I've always taken Sunday naps but now I'm taking naps midweek, like a 20 minute nap. Just kind of hits a spot. So the reason I'm able to do all that is not because I'm super organized or because I'm such a planner or because I'm just so focused and dialed in. because I have a system. It's called Better Than Busy. And I'm going to be teaching it to you in a five-day challenge in January, |
| 1:32.9 | but I want you to go sign up now because along with it, I'm going to send you my exclusive planner. |
| 1:39.1 | I have my own system for a planner that works the way the human brain works. And I know many of you |
| 1:47.3 | have used this planner. Every year it's the number one request we get is when is the planner coming |
| 1:51.5 | out? How do I get my next year's version of it? Because once you start using it, you won't want to |
| 1:55.9 | use any other system. And yes, I still have an online calendar, but I like this in addition to it. And I'll tell you why is because it works with my brain. So when you sign up for better than busy, you're going to get the planner sent right to your door. You're also going to get to come to the five-day challenge that happens in January, where I'm going to teach you the system. I'm going to teach you how to use the planner, but also all the other things I do |
