We are passionate about helping physicians achieve marital and financial success. We reached Financial Independence
in 5 years after training.
When will you join us?

Hello friends!

My name is Kate Mangona and I’m super excited to announce the launch of my podcast Medicine, Marriage and Money coming to you on September 14th, 2020.

This will be a space where we focus on creating marital interdependence and financial independence.

We will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of being in a dual physician relationship. Not only does a successful relationship or marriage take focused effort and determination, it also requires an environment of love, safety and growth.

In medicine, marriage and money, we will examine the relationships of highly successful dual physician couples. We will interview couples who have it all and gather the mindset required for success.

Come with me as we dive into the inside network of physicians in love. My hope is that you can use their knowledge and successes as your spring board into a stronger, more loving and financially savvy relationship with your spouse.

I am your host on Medicine, Marriage and Money. a board certified pediatric radiologist, wife, mother and life coach.

Get pumped to embark in a journey that tests the boundaries of what you think is possible.

 

Are you a physician or married to a physician or other high achieving professional?

Are you having a difficult time connecting with your spouse?

Are you and your spouse on different financial pages?

Do you find yourself avoiding talking about finances with your spouse, particularly how to save, spend and invest money?

 

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, this is a podcast for you!

In this space, we will examine what makes a strong relationship and what it takes to become financially independent with your spouse.

After each episode, I will invite you to ask yourself, “What small tweaks can I make today that will create a huge and lasting impact in my relationship with my spouse and my bank account?’’ We believe there is enough joy, love and wealth in this world for everyone. It just takes determination, desire and an open mind and heart to find it and take it.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

  1. What seems impossible to one person, is more than possible to another person. What is your impossible goal?  Say it out loud! Find someone else who does what you want to do and model after them! Figure out how others reach this said “impossible goal” and borrow their habits and thoughts to reach the goal. 
    1. Limiting belief: I need a lot of money to invest in real estate. Money is NOT the limiting factor. So what is??? YOUR MIND!
    2. Why money is NOT the limit factor: Time, resources, sweat equity, & networking are all variables that count.
  2. There are a lot more financial possibilities than we give ourselves credit for.
    1. If you have 1, 5, or 10-year goals, it is okay for them to change and evolve as life continues and as you learn and grow!

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM WINNIE AND JOEL NAPENAS

  1. When you think something is impossible (like planning a wedding in ONE week), just VISUALIZE IT!!!! Same thing with investing in real estate!!!
  2. There is not just one path to accomplish your dreams. You can have multiple passions and multiple things in your life which bring you fulfillment.
  3. It is okay to take a step back and breathe while your spouse handles something. 
  4. Believe in your spouse more than they believe in themselves. If you do this, the rewards will be endless. If you can’t do this, ask yourself why? Having a supportive spouse is one of the main things all of us ever want. To have support…be loved…be accepted by the most important person in our lives….It is MUCH easier to reciprocate this after one of you begins it, so it might as well be you… today!

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. Linda Street

  1. Negotiation does not have a winner and a loser, especially in marriage. This is a discussion where we WANT to agree. Why would we want our spouses to feel they could not trust us or not share their ideas? 
  2. Language selection is SO IMPORTANT  in our conversations- appreciative over judgemental. I really want to understand…how can we parent in a way that we are both happy with instead of “Why did you…..” judgey to defensive mode, We both want to parent our children so they don’t end up in prison. Culturally we have been conditioned to be right…an addiction to be right!
  3. Negotiating with our patients…What are their concerns? Why won’t they take the medication or follow our advice??? We have the same goals right? HEALTH!!! Stay curious!

It’s time! We’ve finally gotten to sit back down and have an Alpha Female discussion. Spring is in the air and with it will come extremely LONG days for Craig so we knew we had to get it in. Listen as he shares what’s going on down on the farm and we chat about our family updates. 
Corn is up in prices and we’ve been preparing the fields and the equipment to get the highest yield. Craig shares what that looks like as we try to record in a house full of needy kids!
He’s also taken up day trading and watching a ton of financial shows. His interest has been piqued and he’s been reading and learning and watching which is why he hasn’t actually done much investing yet. But it’s fun to hear him talk about it. 
The first thing Craig doesn’t know… I want to get rid of these kittens. There’s definitely more but after my Grandma passed away we split up her cats and the older cats are just so much more manageable. Also, I’m getting my ears pierced again!
Craig and I have so much fun doing these episodes and giving you a peek into our lives and our family. We hope you enjoy it today!


“When you are married to an alpha female, remember the mantra, it’s no big deal.” Errin and Craig Weisman


In this episode:
[04:19] Let’s start by listening to what’s happening down on the farm with Craig.

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR. DAVID YEH

  1. The definition of wealth can be simple. I can mean the amount of money you need to live on for the rest of your life. It doesn’t need to mean something completely out of reach….unattainable, multiple luxurious vacations a year, or a closet full of exquisite bags….it just needs to be enough for you to live. So take that for what it’s worth and start building your wealth
  2. The worst thing that can happen as an investor is to make a lot of money quickly which leads to arrogance and overconfidence. Learn to make systems so emotions will not sabotage!
  3. Being equal in your marriage DOES NOT MEAN being the SAME. There is just no such thing, so we might as well stop comparing ourselves to our spouses or anyone else.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • What is my definition of wealth?
  • In the dance of life that is my marriage…do I lead or do I shine?
  • Is my financial advisor a fiduciary?

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR PHIL BOUCHER

  1. Know when to place the needs of your spouse or children above your own and when to prioritize your own self care. This is an important distinction that often does not come naturally. We learn as we go. How do I want to make my families’ life better in this situation? Another good question to ask yourself at the moment I will borrow from my dear friends Dr. Alexandra Stockwell who recently came to speak with my Women Physicians coaching group. She offers to ask ourselves, what does everyone in this family need right now, including me?
    1. Example: Dinner, TV, bedtime, alone time, reconnection time
    2. When I am overwhelmed, angry, and victimize myself, I have learned that all I need is often 10-15 minutes to reset…take a shower, think about why I am really feeling the way I feel and a moment to take ownership for my feelings instead of blaming them on someone else.  
  3. Do not wait for someone else to make your life more efficient. If you crave efficiency and you notice wasted time at work, suggest a solution. Remember not to focus on the problem as in any negotiation. Present two best options to your group. If neither option is adopted, create one for yourself. Templates…a scribe, get creative, find alternative methods. This won’t happen overnight. 
    1. Make a list of your shared values
    2. Family Time
    3. Home
    4. Experiences
    5. Material Items
    6. Charity
    7. Notice if your shared values support increased spending habits…if so figure out how to increase your salary. 
    8. Evaluate what your variables can be shifted in your home to help align  
    9. What variables can I shift to support my spending habits?
  4. Create shared values with your spouse. 
    1. A Dream Home
    2. The Headboard
    3. The Luxury Car
  5. Examples: Time with family on weekends, annual couple only vacations, Grandparents



WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • Do I have a good balance between self care and self sacrifice?
  • What can I delegate in my life?
  • How can my spouse and I create more shared visions?
  • Do my values support my spending habits?

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR DISHA SPATH

  1. If you are in consumer debt, use the debt snowball principle to climb out of debt and learn how to manage money without being too overwhelmed. Paying off the smallest bill can provide motivation and build up momentum to keep going. 
  2. Cut down the fixed costs (phone plans-switching carriers, cancel unused subscriptions, change grocery stores-from Expensive to Aldi & Walmart, downsize from a big house to renting a smaller place, moving closer to grandparents to help with childcare costs. 
  3. Raise your children without a silver spoon to teach them to know the importance of money and better equip them to be independent later in life.  
  4. Paying off student loans may or may not be your best financial decision. Although this was the right decision for her, she emphasizes that this is not a one size fits all answer. You have to look at your unique circumstances. Do you work for a public or private institution? What is your debt to income ratio? How do you feel about debt? Is it causing you anxiety or fear?

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER

 

Medicine:

  • Why Tim wanted to practice rural medicine
  • What stalking a medical school classmate looks like
  • Leaving love notes during medical school
  • How having good mentors can make a huge difference
  • Where you grow is not in the roses 

 

Marriage:

  • Living in a trailer like vagabonds after the birth of their second child?
  • How they worked through the “I don’t love you anymore” 
  • How Tim was her Knight in Shining Armour

Love Languages:

  • Why knowing your needs is KEY
  • Why you need to learn to love yourself before loving your spouse
  • Why knowing your spouses needs is important
  • Whether marriages based on love or trust
  • How letting each other to do things separately builds trust



TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Drs. May & Tim Hindmarsh

  1. In a successful marriage, the relationship is often bigger than either person. 
  2. “God tells us to love our enemies, but I am not going to marry them.” Although love is elevating, marriage is not ONLY based on love.
  3. The gravity with which a relationship orbits is trust. Although I do not always agree with my spouse, do I trust them 100%. 
  4. It is getting through the hardships that make or break a relationship. The easy stuff…the fun stuff…the honeymoon stuff does not matter. We are ALL good at supporting our spouse through good times. It becomes more difficult to be supportive when the bad times roll in.



WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • Where am I looking for happiness?

  3. How the “never stop learning” mentality has helped her 
  4. Why is making an offer not just about the numbers? Or the price… It’s about asking the seller What do they need??? Negotiating…is not about what you want….it is about what you can give…what you can bring to the table.

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. Jessie Mahoney

  1. When feeling stuck, Jessie loves to ask herself two questions: 
    • What would love do?
    • What would compassion do? Love would let people show up exactly as they are. Sometimes we cannot fix things. Most of the time the other person needs to do the fixing and we can just love and have compassion. Having more compassion for herself would also allow her to grow from any situation in life regardless if other people would see it as a failure or argument or strain….
  2. The grass is greener where you water it!!!!! It is not necessarily better somewhere else.
  3. Boundaries come from love. 
  4. We spend a year planning our wedding and no time planning our marriage.



WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • What would love do?
  • What would compassion for me do?
  • What would compassion for my spouse do?
  • How can I be thoughtful about my money?
  • What message would I like to imprint upon this world?

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE

 

Medicine: 

  • When a spouse thinks “being on-call” is something we do for ourselves
  • Going through divorce her last year of residency
  • Her Mother’s anti-western-medicine beliefs and how this has affected their relationship
  • Why she now “skips into work” to see her patients

 

Marriage: 

  • Redefining “her type” and her definition of husband potential
  • Falling in love with her personal trainer
  • Knowing when to leave and when to stay

 

Money:

  • Her new 2021 goal is to tackle personal finance!

 

Renewal:

  • How her personal trainer Eric rescued her, his persistence, and their magical kiss
  • Growing through the differences she had with her mother
  • Choosing growth discomfort over stuck discomfort

 

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. Milene Argo

  1. Sometimes we fall in love with someone we would never expect. If we are constantly looking for a certain type of person, we may miss the love of our life directly in front of our eyes AND maybe they are ALREADY married to us! 
  2. Asking ourselves,  “Why would she/he say this to me?” Is NOT a helpful question. Instead, next time our spouse, mother-in-law, or friend says words to us, let’s ask ourselves instead, “What do I want to make that mean?” 
  3. Making assumptions about what people are thinking is dangerous. AND then making assumptions about how other people are feeling is also dangerous! AND THEN making assumptions that other people’s thoughts and feelings mean something about us is the MOST dangerous of all!!!! So next time we catch ourselves in this funny mind drama, let’s ask what we would rather spend our time and energy focusing on….someone else’s thoughts and feelings over which we have no control, or our own?



WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • How do I tell my love story? Is it a fairy tale or a horror story?
  • Do I allow myself to love me every day?
  • Do I give myself credit for how far I’ve come?
  • What are my main sources of motivation?
  • Am I choosing the discomfort of growth or the discomfort of being stuck?

  • Why the people you surround yourself will help you rise to the occasion

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM RUPA

  1. Being a business owner could be the best financial opportunity for you and your family. Not only does this impact your finances if you set up a smart financial plan, but this also allows you to have a more flexible family life. Keep in mind, these opportunities do not arise at the most comfortable times. 
  2. Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Instead of telling yourself, I can’t do this, you will start saying “Why can’t I do this?”
  3. You will find where you fit. “Never underestimate the power of a community of women who collaborate instead of competing.” The motto of her attending lounge. How this inspires Rupa on a daily basis. 
  4. Hiring a cook and housekeeper is cheaper than a divorce attorney 
  5. Do not let fear deter you from what you can truly achieve



WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • How honest am I about what I want?
  • Where do I go for inspiration on a daily basis?
  • What are some more systems I can put into place in my household to avoid contention with my spouse?
  • Am I open to uncomfortable opportunities?
  • Do I have faith in myself?

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE

Medicine: 

  • When she knew she wanted to be a physician
  • How her time in the spent hospital during residency affected her first marriage
  • Having a spouse who understands being “on-call”

 

Marriage: 

  • Meeting on Match.com and a first date at Starbucks

  • Getting married in 20s after medical school because “this is what you do”
  • The biggest challenge in her first marriage
  • The difference between focusing on oneself versus the ex during divorce

 

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM TRINA

  1. When we think we are going to marriage counseling for our spouse (and not ourselves), things will NOT get better. We all have things to work on, so let us focus only on working on what we can control….OURSELVES.  What to find happiness, love, and appreciation in your marriage, find it on your own first.
  2. Trina tells us NOT to ever feel stuck in a terrible relationship. If you can find joy and happiness on your own and feel constantly stuck in a horrible situation, reevaluate your reasons for staying. If the two of you have truly grown apart or were never right for each other in the first place, why stay in an unhealthy environment? Remaining in a terrible relationship (after working on oneself) is not more comfortable than leaving which may seem very uncomfortable. Which hurts more? Which has the potential to add more discomfort….staying in silence, resentment, or venturing out alone into the unknown….into a new world of possibilities. This being said, don’t leave in order to find happiness. Find happiness in yourself first…once you have found that, if the relationship in itself is lacking, give yourself permission to start from scratch
  3. Although divorce is NEVER fun, there is life after divorce! Going through a divorce is like going through a period grief. It is a loss even if YOU are the one who chose to leave, but it can still be so much better on the other end after you allow yourself to heal. Shifting the focus onto healing yourself and away from making ex feel bad or regret their actions or inactions will cause the pain to subside at a more manageable level. Focus on healing. 



WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • Do I have self-confidence? Do I look to my partner for confidence?
  • What is the difference between self-confidence and confidence?
  • Where do I go to find happiness? Inside myself or in my relationships?
  • Is it better for me to stay or to go?
  • Do I understand the money mindset of my spouse? If our views on money differ, how can I better understand their story?
  • If and when I ever say goodbye to someone I have been in a relationship with, where is my focus on me or on them? On healing myself or on hurting them?

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE

 

Medicine: 

  • Meeting for the first time in anatomy lab
  • What it was like searching for a job in the same field
  • Why Sanjay says “It really does get better” for the trainees

Marriage: 

  • How to maintain open lines of communication while keeping judgment out of it
  • Why learning how to fight with each other is key
  • How Sanjay unknowingly spread the bread crumbs for Matt before the proposal

Money:

  • How they maximized their travel dollars as residents
  • How they handled the transition of income from residency to attending
  • The differences between how they grew up and how they viewed their increase in salary

Surrogacy:

  • The “hurry up and wait” process
  • What the interview process for surrogacy looks like
  • Keeping in contact with the surrogate 
  • The mental energy involved in planning to have a surrogate
  • What the relationship with their surrogate might look like after the birth

 

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM MATT AND SANJAY

  1. We can always improve how we fight with our spouse. What we say and what our spouse hears may be significantly different. So let us slow down the argument. Figure out what our partner is hearing rather than continuing to push our side of the argument.  Sanjay also says to Keep judgment to ourselves and listen to what our partner is hearing. Keep an open mind and approach it from how can I show up as the best version of myself in this situation. 
  2. If you are a trainee listening know that “It really does get better.” All those feelings of inadequacy and questions like “do I belong?” , “why am I doing this?”, and “is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life?” are NORMAL!!!!! A lot of trainees think these thoughts yet may not be expressing them out loud.  I would like to add if you feel this way now, reach out to someone you can confide in.  A mentor or close friend. We are not alone, my friends. 
  3. Sanjay gave us a beautiful example of how we can all learn to be more responsible with money. Observe. Learn from those around you. He watched a close family member make more money than he could ever imagine and then lose it. Sanjay walks away from this with foresight and the determination to start planning for his retirement immediately after training if not during it. He could have chosen to perpetuate this cycle…done what those before him did….but he has decided to take control of his finances and prepare his family  What can you learn from those around you? 

 

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • How have I grown with my partner over the years?
  • How has my love for my partner evolved over time?
  • How has being with my partner during the pandemic been better than if I were to have been alone?
  • Am I spending my income on things that bring me joy?

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE

Medicine: 

  • Eric’s plan to get noticed by Marcy at the bookstore and sharing a microscope
  • How Eric broke his arm during medical school
  • Why returning to medicine after the loss of Andy looked different for each of them

Marriage: 

  • What Andy ate before marriage and why they likely got married so quickly
  • How they supported each other through the grieving
  • Supporting each others’ podcasts 

Money:

  • Why we need to “Thank God for the accountant” and how this helped on Eric’s journey of healing
  • Why we need to all have an emergency fund

Grief:

  • Why accept the feelings during grieving
  • How anger and guilt can become poisons
  • Why forgiveness matters and how forgiving is so powerful 

 

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM THE LARSONS

  1. Loss and grief are universal. We all experience some sort of loss and grief at some point in our lives. Whether we are going through the loss of a young child, an older child, a parent, or a spouse, it hurts. It is absolutely painful. It just feels wrong. There is no sense in comparing which experience or which loss is worse. We are all on our own journey and that is okay. We can still go through our own journey alongside the support and companionship of others. No need to compare. Just accept that it is hard. Be aware that this is normal.   
  2. If we cannot forgive others, we have often not forgiven ourselves. 
  3. Sometimes what is right for us is not right for our spouse. Our answers do not have to be everyone’s answers. This is normal. Once you accept this and learn to just be present and supportive in whatever way is needed, the pain may worsen. 
  4. Telling our children they are enough.



WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • Do I sincerely ask for forgiveness when it truly matters?
  • How can I forgive myself when I need compassion and grace?
  • How do I process grief?
  • What does my emergency fund look like?

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR MANEESHA AHLUWALIA

  1. Being excited about pregnancy does not make the pain any worse during a miscarriage. It is still painful. It was always going to be as painful. Allowing the emotion of excitement during the initial phases of the pregnancy journey does make it MORE painful than it would have otherwise been without the excitement. Avoiding the pain forever is impossible. Feeling the pain and moving through the pain is the goal.
  2. We are not victims of what happens in life. Every decision, every path, every emotion we experience is a choice. Doctors may say funny things. Friends may say odd things. Nurses, family, and coworkers may say strange things. They often just want to say something, but do not know what to say? Why? Because everyone needs to hear different things. So, it does not matter what people say. Do not be a victim of the words or actions of others. We can choose how we interpret the words of others. We have the power to choose what to hear. 
  3. When someone in our life may be experiencing miscarriage, fertility issues, or child loss, these are things we can say: I am here for you. I am listening to you. You get to think what you are thinking. You get to feel what you are feeling. We can talk about it or we do not need talk about it.



WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • How do I stay curious in my marriage or relationship?
  • How can I stop being a victim of other people’s words? 
  • Am I telling myself that I am doing enough today?
  • How can I be more comfortable in my own skin today?
  • Do I fear getting too excited in my journey because I fear disappointment and failure?

  • Her love-hate relationship with medicine 
  • Avoiding asking questions about maternity leave on the job trail.

Marriage: 

  • How she and Dan continued to choose each other over and over again
  • How we can create change for the better in medicine
  • Accepting their differences 

Money:

  • Sharing money since they were children
  • What they consider a shared money mentality
  • Treating money as a tool
  • Being in sync on what is financially responsible and having open communication
  • How she felt about spending money on IVF, which never comes with guaranteed results. 

Fertility:

  • When these conversations do not happen during medical education
  • Kate’s initial confusion when Dan’s thoughts were different from hers during her roller coaster of emotions  

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR. KATE HAPPOCK

  1. How to create change in medicine. Especially when it comes to maternity leave, breastfeeding, parental obligations, work-life integration…. Starts with small conversations and supporting our colleagues. Let us be the cheerleader for our fellow physicians. Let us build each other up. Let us check on each other. Let us NOT engage in conversations that focus on degrading each other as those rarely build anything construction and definitely do not help our patients or health care in general If it is the change we want, regardless if it is for our patients, for our staff, or for our fellow physician colleagues, we can start by focusing on all the small things we can do each day. Daily conversations, compassion, and support. 
  2. Our worth as physicians is not tied to how many hours we work each day or how many days a week we spend in the hospital or in the clinic. We are ALL high achievers, so stop judging, stop shaming, and start valuing each minute, each moment we care for patients, for ourselves, our for our families. 
  3. When our spouse has different feelings from us about any life circumstance, this does NOT minimize ours and vice versa. We are each allowed to have our own thoughts about everything. We are each on our own journey. I distinctly remember the first year Victor and I were trying to get pregnant and each time I got my period I would cry and he would not and I honestly did NOT understand how he was not in pain and sadness like I was. I did not understand then what now. I truly appreciate Dr. Hoppock’s wisdom when it comes to allowing these differences in emotions that will inevitably arrive along the journey of life.  

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • Am I choosing love every day?
  • How do I value my worth as a physician?
  • How can I accept the differences between my experience and my spouse’s experiences during the same journey?  
  • How do I define the story of my life?
  • How can I have more self-compassion for myself?

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE

Medicine: 

  • The first time teachers did not seem to care about the students learning
  • Why the Dean of her Medical school supported her pregnancy and child leave during medical school
  • Meeting her future spouse in medical school as she turned pages for a concert pianist
  • Her surprise when she was not as satisfied in her physician career as she had expected
  • Why she and her hubby each took a year off from medical school

Marriage: 

  • Why the foundation of their relationship is devotion to personal growth
  • How sharing your truth changes your marriage

  • How having divorced parents initially influenced how she thought about the trajectory of her marriage

Money:

  • Moving to rural Kansas for two years to get ahead financially

Intimacy:

  • Why it is important to remember what drew you to your spouse

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR. ALEXANDRA STOCKWELL

  1. Every interaction or non-interaction between our spouse and us is either moving us towards connection or driving us away from connection. Enhance every moment in order to foster more love and this will result in a more intimate relationship.
  2. Be authentic. Hiding or walking on eggshells does not lead to connection. Figure out a way to regain friendship and love and if WE cannot do this on our own, maybe it is time to consider seeking help. 
  3. Discovering what the foundation of our relationship with our spouse is may draw us closer to them and foster more connection. What is it? For Dr. Stockwell, she took us on her journey of their devotion to each other’s personal growth. Imagine how our relationship could enter the next level if we invited this concept into our lives and relationships.

 

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER

Medicine: 

  • Her transition from OB/GYN residency to Internal Medicine residency
  • Her unicorn career seeing 28 patients a day for 5 years for only gynecologic concerns
  • Common issues MeLanie saw as an internist specializing in pelvic pain

Marriage: 

  • Why the words “Eugene” and “rocket scientist” sparked her interest while on-line dating 
  • The devotion MeLanie’s future husband showered upon her only a month after meeting

  • How to communicate in bed
  • Why acknowledging a partner’s emotions are key
  • Why assuming a spouse has the best intentions works 
  • What natural avoidance is
  • Why pelvic pain may cause guilt, shame, & confusion 

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. MELANIE MODJOROS

  1. Take responsibility for every emotion regarding love and intimacy. We have the power to make things better or worse. If we feel stuck and are not actively working towards making things, better, chances are they may be getting worse. Let us not be afraid to talk openly about our feelings with our partner using I statements while fully clothed. This may be hard and uncomfortable and that is okay. If unsure where to start, seek help from a professional.
  2. The biggest determining factor for wanting to have sex again is the feelings we have at the end of the last sexual encounter.
  3. People always say, “Sex was so easy when we were young and it was never scheduled.”, the truth is, it usually WAS scheduled, we just didn’t think of it that way because the words “SEX DATE” were not on our google calendar. We usually just got dolled up or manned up, shaved our legs or face, and went out on a Friday night or Saturday night date! It is OKAY to schedule sex….call it anything….cocktail night, cuddle night, snuggle puppy party time as one of my dear friends calls it.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • Do I take responsibility for my feelings?
  • Do I communicate what I want in bed and why?
  • Do I assume my partner has the best intentions at heart?
  • Do I believe in any sex myths such as “Men always want sex” or “A man’s erection equals his attraction to me?” If so, why?
  • Would scheduling sex be helpful for my marriage?
  • Do I enjoy sex?
  • Does my spouse enjoy sex?
  • How can we enhance our sex life?

  2. Don’t treat your spouse like you treat your employees (if you are a surgeon or demanding of your employees)
  3. Don’t try to change your spouse. The love that can be created from loving them exactly the way they are is infinite.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • Is sex easy for us?

Grieving:

  • Realizing that feeling debilitated for days is okay 

 

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM THE SCHELLERS

  1. If you have faith, there will be no suffering without purpose.
  2. Worry only takes away from the minutes you have in the present time. When we spend our time worrying or anxious over whatever small or huge thing we are going through in life, it is important to remember, we are choosing worry over any other emotion which could be available to us in that moment. 
  3. Be good to yourself. Be good to the people around you. It’s Grace during times of suffering and difficulty that is so important.  It’s a season. It will not last forever.
  4. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Said like a TURE Pediatric Emergency Physician. If you plan for the worst, you can handle ANYTHING. Yet if you hope for the BEST, you always maintain the ability to keep your mind somewhere peaceful. 

 

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

  • When it comes to raising or caring for my children, how control am I?
  • What could I be choosing to do with my mental space, instead of worrying?

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM VEENA 

  1. Believing and supporting your spouse allows them to believe even more in themselves and this is what we want. We want to watch our spouse to be successful in whatever that means to them. 
  2. Find a partner that is good at something you are not good at so that you can collaborate and grow.
  3. Her businesses are successful because she focuses on the relationship side of her business more than anything else. She doesn’t mind giving up a little bit today to be successful in the future. We can all win as a team.

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. Stageberg

  1. Make your spouse’s needs your needs. If this happens both ways, you can take your relationship to the next level. 
  2. Growing your entrepreneurial side is usually not comfortable the first or second time you do it. If you are thinking about becoming a landlord or investing in something you have never invested in before, know that it is NORMAL to NOT be comfortable.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

What type of life do you want?

What investments are you making in your marriage?

How can you design your life to promote more successful relationships with your children and your spouse?
Released: Sep 14, 2020

What does marital interdependence mean to you and what does it take to achieve it and maintain it? In other words, what makes a successful marriage and how does it last?

First let’s talk about what does not make a successful marriage.

Blame

Shame

Dependency

Relationships are not an emotional vending machine. We cannot pick and choose what we want our partner to feed us and how this will make us feel. If we want to be happy, we must first CHOOSE to be happy.

If we aim to mold or change our partner, we set ourselves up for relationship havoc.

So what makes a successful marriage?

A relationship requires trust, individual happiness and shared goals.

Your spouse’s only job is to be loved by you. Drop the expectations. Throw away the manual and exist from a place of love and support.

Love is not a fairytale or the perfect instagram photo. Love is failing and failing again and continuing to communicate, listen and hold space. Love is real life. Love has ups and downs and is rarely if ever 50/50.

Relationships take time, attention and patience. Not everyday or every moment will be magical, but everyday does have the potential to provide growth and bonding as long as you vow to unconditionally love.

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER

  • What makes a successful marriage
  • How highly successful couples make their relationship work
  • Why feeling like a failure is normal and part of the journey
  • Why dropping expectations could save your marriage
  • What “your spouse’s only job is to be loved by you” means
  • How to exist as a more supportive and loving partner in your relationship
