045: Reviewing Your Year in Love and Sex

EPISODE SHOW NOTES

I am a nerd for planning. I love to envision the future. I love to review the past. And New Year's time is totally a time when I want to look over the past year and see the themes and then set intentions for the new year with my husband. But pretty early in our relationship, I got the picture that Kurt was not a planner in the same way that I was. And perhaps you can relate. I find that in most couples, there's one person who's way more into this stuff than the other. And that's perfectly alright. I'm here to help both of you have a peaceful and joyful way of moving through a process of really capturing the gems from the past year, setting intentions for the coming year, and keeping your relationship on a really powerful trajectory.

As you listen to this episode, we’re talking about::

  • The three most common questions I get about reviewing your year and setting intentions

  • Why it’s worth it to review your year together

  • How to have a meaningful review of the year even if your partner is not really into planning

  • Identifying the themes of your past year together

  • The free live events I’ll be hosting to help you in your planning and review process

And more.
