In this episode of the Your Relationshift podcast, hosts Hindi Kalmenson and Chayale Tzukernik respond to their listeners' questions. One dilemma opens the door to a deep conversation about identity, self-worth, and the essential desire for connection within marriage. Hindi and Chayale explore the common fear many women experience of being seen primarily as a mother rather than a partner. They discuss how triggers like this one can serve as indicators, guiding us to look within and understand our own unspoken needs and desires. Through practical advice and real-life examples, Hindi and Chayale emphasize the importance of "trusting the connection"—the foundational belief that a couple is inherently bonded, even in moments of doubt. They share insights on how to express desires from a place of security rather than neediness, enabling a more genuine and fulfilling connection. With compassion and humor, they encourage listeners to cultivate self-trust and a sense of ownership over their roles within the relationship, shifting the focus from seeking validation to fostering a true partnership. This episode offers a refreshing and empowering perspective on navigating the complexities of marriage while remaining rooted in self-awareness and growth.
