Summary

Today's mini chat with The Freemans is all about influencing your partner. Yes you could say "get them to do what you want". Maybe you want them to change their mind about something or even more powerful, you want them to change their current state (maybe from one of stress or anxiety to one of peace or ease) Of course you are a team (possibly have your vision statement if you have done a vision statement creation call with us) so you are not intending anything less than what you feel would benefit them, they just are "stuck in their way" in this area.

So what happens when you deeply want them to something that you already know they will enjoy and get value from, yet they just don't want to do it? Then multiple times a week you now feel you are trying to convince them or even trick them into changing their minds or getting them to change their emotional state.

In this episode...

You will know: Influencing your partner starts with you being the example first

You will have: 3 new actions to take for yourself within these conversations with your partner

You will feel: More emotionally steady certain no matter how long it takes them to change their mind (if ever!)

0:00.0	Isn't it funny that when it comes to getting our education, degrees, and certifications,
0:08.3	we're willing to invest time and money. And yet, when it comes to the most important relationship
0:14.3	of our lives with our partner, we get little to know education or guidance.
0:19.8	That's why in this podcast you will get the insights,
0:22.6	tools, and strategies to manifest your goals as a couple. You will hear powerful and practical
0:30.1	advice from couples who share authentically their challenges, lessons learn, and victories.
0:36.2	So you can strengthen your relationship, feel more clarity,
0:41.3	connection, and enjoyment on your journey together. Welcome to the Empowered Coupled podcast.
0:47.9	I am Jocelyn Freeman. And I'm Aaron Freeman. Let's get started. Welcome to this episode, the mini chat with the Freemans. I actually
0:56.5	love these. We're going to jump in here and just get started on how to influence your partner
1:02.7	when they feel differently than you. And you know, it's so funny when we have these many
1:07.2	episodes, they come from what we're experiencing in life, right, Jocelyn?
1:12.1	Oh yeah. This is very relevant right now. So how many of you have actually had this show up for
1:19.1	you in your relationship and your marriage where you probably have something that you want your
1:25.6	partner to do, you could say? Or maybe they're just so set in their
1:29.9	ways they won't say yes to it. And maybe it's a personal development seminar or maybe a vacation
1:36.4	or something like that. Or maybe they just haven't been in a great emotional state. You know,
1:41.0	you want them to kind of change their energy. Yeah, and ultimately, by influence,
1:45.0	we mean have them change their mind or, as Jocelyn just said, probably even more powerfully,
1:51.5	change their state. What do you do when you want them to say yes to something or go from feeling
1:57.3	maybe stress or anxiety to meet you at a place of maybe peace and ease.
