In this episode of the Intimate Marriage podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD dives into confidence and how it shapes success in love and life. She sheds light on the crucial role of self-confidence and how attractive it is within intimate relationships, and more specifically, how it plays out among ambitious, educated couples.  Dr Alexandra explores the common scenario where one partner craves more from their relationship while the other seems content with the status quo. She provides guidance on how to reignite passion and cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth, emphasizing the magnetic power of confidence as one of the ultimate keys to a more fulfilling and vibrant partnership.    Also in this episode: Confidence is the most attractive quality in a partner and a fundamental ingredient for a passionate and thriving marriage. Seeking affirmation and validation from a partner creates an unhealthy parent-child dynamic, which is detrimental for erotic connection. The best course of action for someone feeling needy or rejected is to focus on developing their own sense of value and self-worth. Bringing one's confident, successful self (with authenticity, not bravado) from your professional life into your personal relationship is a pivot that will result in a significant improvement in intimacy.   Subscribe To The Intimate Marriage Podcast: Apple Podcast | YouTube | Spotify Connect With Alexandra Stockwell, MD: Website | Linkedin | Instagram   Get your copy of “Uncompromising Intimacy” by Dr. Alexandra Stockwell here: https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl Download the first chapter of Dr Alexandra’s bestselling book, “Uncompromising Intimacy,” here:  https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/book Cultivate your intimacy skills (without compromise) in Aligned & Hot Marriage, Dr. Alexandra’s proven method for smart couples ready to love more fully:  www.alignedhotmarriage.com Join Dr. Alexandra’s email list to stay connected.
