The Keys to Authentic, Fulfilling and Lifelong Relationships, with Jocelyn & Aaron Freeman of Empowered Couples’ University

Aaron and Jocelyn Freeman dedicate their life to empowering relationships - primarily couples, yet their work and wisdom translates into ALL relationships in life, whether it’s friends, coworkers or family members. That’s why I wanted them to come and speak on the podcast this month, because this topic is SO on my heart and I wanted their wisdom to find its way into your home and life.

 

The Freemans co-authored their book ‘The New Power Couple’, founded the concept The Empowered Couples Brunch as well as Empowered Couples University. They speak and lead workshops all across the country, offering relationship skills most of us never learned in school so that couples can be genuinely happy, connected and thriving long-term.

 

Jocelyn and Aaron also happen to be investors in my company, Delighted By, as well as some of my best friends. They embody their work with the people in their life, including me. I continue to learn communication tools from them and they inspire me all the time with the way they lean into tough conversation, hold their friendships and relationships to the highest standard of transparency, and for me personally, have stuck with me through thick and thin no matter how confronting or challenging it has gotten. They are true family to me and I thank the universe every single day for blessing my life with their incredible friendship.

 

In this episode, we talk all things relationships. Jocelyn and Aaron carry a plethora of knowledge and experience, so honestly it was tough to keep it to one short episode!

 

We dive into topics such as:

  • Triggers and what to do when someone triggers you
  • Why authentic & vulnerable communication is so important
  • How to preface a tough conversation to allow for the least amount of resistance from the other party
  • Why talking behind peoples’ backs creates more ‘clutter’ in your life
  • Leaning into challenges that arise in relationships with grace
  • Communicating from a place of clarity & calm, rather than when emotions are at peak
  • Bringing understanding to your relationships for both parties, even if there isn’t full ‘agreeance.’
  • How relationships are a key platform for personal transformation
  • Making powerful requests and communicating your needs to your loved ones
