   Love Smarter: Compatibility Redefined

   What if the spark that draws you in can't tell you what makes love last? Chemistry is how a relationship starts; compatibility decides how it goes. Most of us just follow the spark, fall by chance, and wonder why the same patterns keep repeating. That's why I was so excited to talk with Jena Jake, a Compatibility Strategist and former counselor who helps singles and couples stop leaving love to chance and start making relationship decisions with intention, using personality assessment, behavioral science, and relationship psychology. Here's what you'll get out of listening: - The journey that turned a counselor into a Compatibility Strategist - What "Love Smarter" actually means in practice - The difference between chemistry and compatibility, and why the spark alone can't carry a life together - Whether compatibility can be measured, and what assessments reveal about your relationship blind spots - What couples can do to improve their communication immediately - Jena's advice for singles who want to find a healthy relationship on purpose - A first look at her upcoming book and who it's for And somewhere in the middle, Jena and I geek out about Gottman, IFS, and Harville Hendrix, and she asks the question hiding under all of them: if Hendrix says we grow by learning to meet our partner's needs, and IFS says the real work is meeting our own, which is it? We land on the paradox of interdependence together, and it's worth staying for. Stay tuned for Jena's book at jenajake.com.

   How Unhealed Trauma Shapes Your Love Life, and What Actually Helps

   Have you ever tried to support someone you love through something heavy, and felt like what you offered kept sliding past them? Or wondered whether the patterns in your own relationships trace back to something you've never quite had a name for? Trauma doesn't look one way. It varies from person to person and experience to experience, and that's exactly why so much well-meaning support misses. What overwhelms one nervous system may leave another untouched, and what you've never thought to call "trauma" may still be quietly running your closest relationships. That's why I loved this conversation with Scott Stolarick, a trauma-informed psychotherapist who has been practicing for 33 years. Scott thinks of trauma, and of people, as a mosaic: many small pieces, each with its own story, forming a picture that's unique to every one of us. When you understand how complex and personal trauma really is, you stop trying to support healing with a one-size-fits-all approach, and you start offering the kind of support that actually reaches the person in front of you. Here's what you'll get out of listening: - The journey that drew Scott to this work - How to recognize what you might be carrying, even if you've never called it "trauma" - Scott's "mosaic" way of understanding trauma and human beings - How unresolved childhood trauma tends to show up in adult romantic relationships - The nuances of dealing with sexual trauma - What's genuinely supportive when your partner is dealing with unprocessed trauma, and what can make things harder without meaning to - Why healing trauma isn't just personal work, it's relationship work too - The broad strokes of the healing path: what the first steps toward healing actually look like You can learn more about Scott at mosaicpathwaycounseling.org, and read the article he mentioned, "Trauma: The Complexity Within" (Huffington Post, 2017), here: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trauma-the-complexity-within_b_58d55828e4b0c0980ac0e591 More about Scott Stolarick: Scott is a licensed, trauma-informed psychotherapist who has been practicing in Illinois for 33 years. He is a seasoned clinician as well as an experienced administrator and clinical supervisor, with Management and Leadership Certifications from the University of Notre Dame and Cornell University. Scott is the owner of Mosaic Pathway Counseling in Gurnee, Illinois.

   What Open Relationships Can Teach Everyone About Honesty, Intimacy, and Repair

   What if the relationships that are considered unconventional could teach every couple the skills that matter most: honesty, boundaries, and the art of repairing after things go wrong? Every relationship, whatever its shape, runs on the same two engines: clear communication and the ability to come back together after a rupture. But most of us were never taught either one. We inherit our assumptions about love, we leave our expectations unspoken, and then we're surprised when misunderstandings pile up into distance. There's a paradox at the heart of it all: we long to be deeply connected AND fully ourselves, and nobody hands us the manual for doing both at once. That's why I was excited to talk with Candace Klein, a corporate executive, attorney, and relationship coach who focuses on emotional resilience and repair in all kinds of relationships. Candace is the author of Polyagony: The Art of Repair in Open Relating, and I'll be upfront with you: this conversation lives openly in the world of polyamory and other non-traditional relationships. Candace speaks from that world with articulate care and real-world stories from her own life. If those relationship styles are far from your own life, I invite you to listen anyway, because the skills she describes are the ones every relationship runs on: honesty before the conflict, boundaries that actually hold (and what to do if they don't!), and communication clear enough that ruptures become doorways to deeper connection. Here's what you'll get out of listening: - The story behind Polyagony and Candace's own journey, and what it taught her about every relationship - The most common pitfalls when people open up, emotionally or structurally, and how to see them coming - Where relationships of every shape most often fall apart - The role clear communication plays in preventing misunderstandings before they start - Practical strategies for honesty and healthy boundaries you can use in any relationship - How to cultivate the emotional resilience that turns conflict into repair and repair into deeper intimacy - Grounded advice, and real hope, for anyone considering a major relational shift or renegotiation You can visit Polyagony to learn more about her book and download her free Group Dynamics ebook. Candace’s Youtube channel is: www.youtube.com/@candaceklein9499 More about Candace Klein: Candace Klein is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and transformational leader whose work spans finance, technology, and human development. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, she graduated from the Salmon P. Chase College of Law and practiced law before founding and leading multiple mission-driven companies. She served as CEO of Bad Girl Ventures, a microfinance firm investing in female founders, and later founded Somolend, one of the first nationally available crowdfunding platforms. Through this work, Candace played a key role in shaping the JOBS Act, the legislation that made securities-based crowdfunding legal in the United States. Over the past fifteen years, Candace has served in senior executive and C-suite roles across venture-backed startups and global payments companies, including Chief Commercial Officer of Lynx, a healthcare payments company, and Senior Vice President of Embedded Finance at FIS, a global payments firm with more than 66,000 employees. She is also the former co-author of Typhoon Honey: The Only Way Out Is Through, a book on emotional intelligence and transformational growth. Today, Candace leads The Liberation Company, where she facilitates emotional intelligence, somatic healing, and identity-based workshops designed to support deep personal and collective transformation. She lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with her husband Andrew, their son Ivar, and their two dogs, Pan and Cinde.
