We’ve all had those moments where a simple disagreement spirals into the same painful fight you’ve had a hundred times before. In this session, I’ll walk you through how to escape those negative cycles—what to do before the conversation, how to stay connected during a hard moment, and the steps to take after when repair is needed.

In this session, Julie dives into what it really means to create and maintain healthy boundaries in your relationship. She explains how boundaries are not about building walls, but about protecting your well-being while staying connected to your partner. You’ll hear practical examples of where couples often blur the line between closeness and overreach, and how to communicate limits in a way that strengthens, rather than weakens, the bond. Julie also answers member questions on how to set boundaries when your partner struggles with them, how to know when you’re overstepping theirs, and how boundaries connect to secure attachment.

In this session, Julie explores how anger and resentment can quietly block progress in relationships, even when both partners are doing their best to stay connected. She talks about how anger often goes unacknowledged, how it can become stuck in the body, and how it sometimes masks deeper emotions like grief, fear, or shame.

You’ll learn how to recognize the signs that unresolved anger is showing up in your relationship, what anger is actually trying to communicate, and how to work with it in a way that supports healing. Julie also talks about how different attachment styles tend to experience and express anger, and how couples can begin to hear and validate each other when anger comes up.

This conversation includes self-work, relationship work, and real-time questions from group members who are working through anger in their own relationships. Julie also shares more about her new self-paced course on experiential self-work.

In this session, Julie explored an emotional block - disgust. She unpacks how emotional disgust develops from early messages about which feelings are acceptable, and how it can silently undermine our ability to connect with ourselves and our partners. Whether it shows up as a shutdown response to a crying partner, a cringe at your own vulnerability, or a tendency to label certain feelings as “too much,” emotional disgust can disrupt communication, intimacy, and authenticity.

Julie shares tools for identifying this internal response, examining where it originated, and beginning the process of re-patterning. The session also includes two powerful live discussions—one on how disgust shows up in sexual intimacy after trauma, and another about supporting a partner who shuts down around emotions. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s hard to “sit with” emotions this conversation will help make sense of it.
