Summary

Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews Gabriela Embon. In this engaging conversation, Gabriela Embon, a life engineering coach and author of 'Becoming a Power Couple', shares her insights on building strong relationships. She discusses the importance of communication, self-work, and connection rituals in maintaining a thriving marriage. Gabriela emphasizes that relationships are foundational to our happiness and success, and she provides practical advice on how couples can navigate challenges and deepen their bond over time. The discussion also touches on the dynamics of love languages, the role of friendships, and the necessity of treating a marriage like a business partnership to achieve shared goals. Guest Bio: Gabriela Embon believes that a fulfilling adult life hinges on two essential components: an ideal career and a thriving primary relationship. After spending eight years as a chemical engineer, Gabriela transitioned into couples coaching, bringing with her a unique edge—combining the precision of engineering with deep insights into human potential. She inspires high achievers and organizations to succeed, shedding light on the strategies needed to engineer extraordinary careers and build resilient, fulfilling relationships both inside and outside the workplace. Takeaways: Relationships influence everything from our happiness to our professional success. Communication is key to feeling connected in a relationship. Women are self-sufficient and don't need men to work on themselves. The bigger the resistance to intimacy, the bigger the reward on the other side. It's possible to be happily married over time with effort and commitment. Rituals are essential for maintaining connection in a busy world. Understanding love languages can enhance relationship satisfaction. Men and women process information differently, impacting communication. Girlfriends provide essential support for women, but don't neglect the spouse connection. Treating a marriage like a business partnership can strengthen the bond.
