Episode 286: How to Make Progress: Managing Your Emotions

August 26, 2025

In this episode, we’re breaking down why managing your emotions is the key to making real progress in your marriage.


You’ll learn:

  • Why emotions are physical sensations that will pass—and how to ride that wave instead of getting pulled under.
  • How to see emotions as signals guiding you to something important.
  • What it looks like to truly take responsibility for your own feelings—without blaming or offloading them onto your partner.
  • Why “you can’t heal what you won’t feel” (and how to practice that in a safe, grounded way).
  • And how staying centered in your emotions actually makes it more likely that your partner will hear you.


If you’ve ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same fights, or why the same feelings seem to hijack your progress—this episode is going to show you a new way forward.
