The Feedback Wheel: How to Have Hard Conversations Without Drama [RELATIONSHIP SERIES]

The Feedback Wheel: How to Have Hard Conversations Without Drama [RELATIONSHIP SERIES]

Do you ever avoid tough conversations because you don’t want to rock the boat? Or maybe you try to talk but end up feeling misunderstood or defensive? Possibly you’re like me, you over talk, over explain, and sometimes get overly defensive? 🫣

In today’s episode, I’m teaching a game-changing tool: the Feedback Wheel—a simple, four-step framework to help you express yourself clearly and confidently. It has helped me feel more confident and I want to teach it to you so you can feel this way too.

I break down exactly how to communicate your thoughts and feelings without blame, defensiveness, or endless back-and-forth arguments. Whether you’re talking to your partner, teen, coworker, or parent, this tool will help you feel more calm, confident, and heard.

Tune in to learn:


✅ Why relationships impact your mental and physical health


✅ The four steps of the Feedback Wheel (and why they work!)


✅ How to ask for what you need—without guilt or resentment

If you’re tired of feeling frustrated in conversations and want a clear, loving way to communicate, this episode is for you. Let’s go, Warriors! 💙

Midlife Sexuality: You’re Not Broken

Midlife Sexuality: You’re Not Broken

This week on the Love Your Life Show, Midlife Intimacy Expert Dr. Jenn and I answer your questions on sexuality and desire. Questions like:

“What do we do if we haven’t had sex in weeks, months, or even years?”

“How can I share my sexual needs with my partner without causing hurt feelings?”

We also explore how the messages we got about our own sexuality may still be affecting us (they’re affecting me!!!)

Messages like:

→ Be desirable but don’t desire;

→ Be attractive and sexy but not openly so;

→ Be open and accommodating but not “loose” or “overly flirty”.

We also talk about:

🔥 Why desire dips and how to reignite that spark!

🔥 Navigating those “oh-so-fun” hormonal shifts (hot flashes, anyone? 😅)

🔥 Rekindling intimacy even if it’s been a while…

This episode is packed with actionable tips and honest conversations to help you feel more confident and connected in your body and your relationship. ❤️
