Why does emotionally intelligent communication get so much harder with the person who matters most?


You probably consider yourself to be a pretty good communicator in most areas of your life … and maybe you’d even say that you’ re emotionally intelligent.

But you still find yourself shutting down, reacting, over-explaining, doubting yourself or not saying what you really mean when the conversation is with your partner.

That emotionally intelligent communication seems to go right out the window.

Actually though, it doesn’t just disappear. There’s just a lot more going on under the surface.

Most communication advice focuses on the surface words:

  • Say it this way.
  • Use an “I” statement.
  • Reflect back what you heard.

Those things are all good but not in isolation and they don’t address everything happening underneath the words.

  • What do you actually think, feel, need and want?
  • What happens inside you when someone disagrees with you?
  • What happens when you feel misunderstood? Do you react? Shut down? Accommodate? Over-explain? Defend? Doubt yourself?
  • And can you stay connected to yourself when the person you love sees things differently?

That’s what I help you do using my VOICE Method:

  • View yourself clearly.
  • Observe the conditioning and patterns getting in the way.
  • Interrupt the reactivity (whether it’s inward reaction or outward reaction).
  • Communicate what’s true.
  • Embody self-sovereignty, which is about standing in yourself without controlling the other person or abandoning yourself.

Here are the ways you can go deeper with me and develop that emotionally intelligent communication even in your relationship with your partner …

Your Voice Matters

Join me on Substack for free articles and content about emotional intelligence, communication, self-sovereignty, sovereign partnership and human design.

If you want to understand yourself and your relationship differently, communicate more clearly and stay connected to yourself while staying connected to your partner, this is a great place to start.

Inside Your Voice

If Your Voice Matters is where we explore the ideas, Inside Your Voice is where we put them into practice.

As a paid subscriber, you’ll get workshops, resources, reports, reflections and practical tools to help you apply emotional intelligence, communication, self-sovereignty, sovereign partnership and human design in your actual relationship.

Coming soon. Free subscribers will be the first to know when it opens.

Your Voice by Design

A live workshop introducing you to The VOICE Method and helping you see what happens to your voice when conversations with your partner get hard.

You’ll begin identifying where your own voice gets interrupted, whether you react, shut down, accommodate, over-explain or doubt yourself, and what needs to shift so you can communicate from a more grounded, emotionally intelligent place.

Coming soon.

Human Design Report

Understand the way you are naturally designed to communicate, make decisions, relate to others and move through the world.

Your personalized human design report gives you a deeper understanding of your own wiring so you can stop judging yourself against who you think you should be and start recognizing the patterns, strengths and differences you bring into your relationships. Understanding your own design can also change the way you interpret differences between you and your partner so that “different” stops automatically meaning wrong.

Your Sovereign Voice

If you’re ready to go beyond understanding your patterns and actually change the way you show up in difficult conversations, Your Sovereign Voice takes you through the complete VOICE Method.

You’ll learn how to know what’s true for you, recognize the conditioning affecting your voice, regulate reactivity, communicate clearly and stay connected to yourself even when someone you love thinks, feels or wants something different.

Coming soon.

Private Coaching

Sometimes you don’t need more information. You need help seeing what’s happening in your relationship, with your patterns, circumstances and dynamics.

Private coaching gives you individualized support to work through communication, emotional reactivity, connection, self-sovereignty or human design and apply this work directly to your life and relationship.

Let’s chat about working with me privately.
