Hello and welcome to the Empowered Couples podcast. You're going to be hanging out with just me,

Jocelyn, today for this motivational moment. Now, these episodes each week are for you two within

a few minutes to shift your energy, shift your focus, and feel more motivated. Because when you're

feeling a shift in energy, your attitude changes and the way you show up changes.

So today, we're going to be talking about how you can better yourself to better the relationship.

Now, you hear us talk on these episodes about skills and tools you can do as a couple.

And equally as important to gaining these skills and tools and practicing the way you communicate

and handle conflict is that you are growing as a person. And when I say growing as a person,

I'm talking about you are learning about yourself, your patterns, you are pursuing personal

development. If personal development is a new term to you, it's really just

about pursuing ways in which you can understand yourself more and grow as a person. Right. So

when you are focusing on growing yourself and you are understanding from a deeper level,

why you do the things you do, you can then consciously choose new actions,

but you have to understand yourself at a deeper level to create lasting change in a partnership,

not just where you read something nice, you implement it in your relationship, and then a week

later you're back to the old ways it takes

you doing this personal work on yourself so what i'm inviting you into today is committing

today and moving forward that every single day you're going to do something even if it's small

reading a positive quote listening to a quick audio chapter,

you know, of a motivational book, a personal development book. I'm not talking about fiction books.

I love fiction once in a while. I'm talking about personal development books or podcasts or, you know,

doing a course that is about personal empowerment and understanding yourself.
