🧭 How to Use These Videos


These aren’t just videos—they’re relational tools.

You can watch them solo or with your partner. You can pause and reflect. You can use them to start conversations that usually get avoided.


Here are a few ways to make the most of what you find here:

  • Watch together and talk about what resonates (or triggers)
  • Reflect on your own patterns, reactions, and takeaways
  • Practice one new idea at a time—small shifts can create big changes
  • Bring it into session if you're working with me or another therapist. These clips often name what’s hard to explain.


Relationship growth doesn’t only happen in counselling—it happens in how you choose to show up, again and again.



Use these videos as invitations to pause, get curious, and begin the work.

Traditional Gender Roles no Longer Work

For generations, our patriarchal society has influenced our perception of gender—creating “traditional” gender roles that have defined how we approach relationships. One of the things I say about those traditional gender roles is they don't make anybody happy and they don't make for intimacy.

In today’s world, we demand more from our relationships than ever before.

To get there, we need to move beyond outdated roles and learn the relational skills that result in deep connection, mutual respect, and enduring love.

In this video, I’ll break down why traditional gender roles don’t serve modern relationships, how patriarchy influences our connection to one another, and what it takes to become lifelong lovers.

How to Give & Get Constructive Feedback (Without Starting a Fight)

  • Feedback is not the enemy. If we want a passionate, intimate, and healthy relationship, we have to be able to course-correct. 

The trouble is, few of us know how to do it without pushing each other further away.

In this video, I’ll show you how to give and receive feedback — without triggering your next fight.

You’ll learn a powerful 4-step framework called the Feedback Wheel, and how it can help you communicate criticism effectively and empower your partner to listen and respond generously. 

Watch now to gain essential relational skills that will shift your partnership from blame and defensiveness into humility, connection, and repair.
