   #009: Cut These in 2026 - Then Add THIS

   After nearly a year away... we’re back. The last year tested us. Family challenges. Business pressure. Financial stress. Long stretches where nothing seemed to move forward. In this episode, we talk about where we’ve been and what it took to stay connected when things got hard. Most people start a new year by trying to add more. More habits. More goals. More pressure. That usually doesn’t work. Real growth starts somewhere else. It starts by cutting away what no longer serves you. We use a simple plant story to explain why dead branches drain energy, even when you don’t notice it. And why removing them creates space for new growth. We talk about distraction. Social media. Comparison. Why men and women struggle with it in different ways. And how it quietly damages focus, confidence, and intimacy. We also share the four simple games that helped us reconnect during our hardest season. They’re easy to use. They don’t require fixing each other. They help people feel seen, heard, and appreciated again. If you’ve had a tough year. If you feel distracted or disconnected. If you want 2026 to feel different. This episode is for you. ---------------------------- Download Our App: http://liftit.app.link/ Register for Meal Engine (Coming Soon): https://mealengine.com/ ---------------------------- CHAPTERS: 00:00 – We’re Back: Where We’ve Been 02:30 – The Hard Year No One Talks About 05:10 – Business, Family, and Survival Mode 08:20 – Seasons in Relationships 11:00 – The Plant That Looked Dead 14:10 – Why Cutting Back Creates Growth 17:30 – When to Cut vs When to Keep Watering 19:10 – Why Adding More Usually Fails 20:30 – Social Media and the Comparison Trap 23:50 – Why AI Makes This Even Worse 26:30 – The Male vs Female Distraction Problem 31:40 – The Woman in the Red Dress (Matrix Analogy) 33:50 – Why Distraction Kills Intimacy 36:40 – Boundaries, Trust, and Eyegate Control 41:20 – How Men and Women Are Driven Differently 46:10 – Misunderstanding, Resentment, and Repair 49:00 – The Secret Relationship Games 52:10 – Game 1: Tell Me a Secret 55:20 – Game 2: Toot Your Horn 58:40 – Game 3: I’m Aware 01:02:30 – Game 4: I Give You Permission 01:05:10 – What to Cut Before 2026 01:06:30 – Final Thoughts and New Year Message
