It’s not about begging. It’s not about arguing. There’s a better way.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to get your needs met in your relationship — and it ends in a fight, shutdown, or awkward silence — this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, we’re breaking down:
- Why traditional "demand" communication often backfires (even if you're right!)
- How to shift toward mutual collaboration instead of pushing or people-pleasing
- A simple, 3-part communication tool you can use right away to help your partner actually want to say "yes" to you
I’m also sharing real-world examples from clients who have learned how to shift the energy from resentment and reactivity... to teamwork and connection.
You’ll walk away with:
✅ A mindset shift that puts you and your partner on the same team
✅ A simple sentence starter to use when making requests
✅ More confidence to speak up for what you want — without guilt, shutdown, or drama
Bottom Line:
You can get more of what you want — and build a stronger relationship — when you know how to ask for it the right way. Let's dive in!
