For this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I sat down with a student of the Marriage MBA, Ashley Delbello, who also happens to be an intuitive life and business coach for women. Ashley specializes in helping women with people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout and self-doubt reconnect to themselves. As women, it’s easy for us to get disconnected from our intuitive inner wisdom. We tend to prioritize everyone’s needs ahead of our own, which naturally leads us away from ourselves. When it comes to our relationships, not being in touch with our true desires or being able to communicate them clearly creates frustration and resentment. Ashley and her honey had already tried marriage therapy and found that while it helped, she wanted something MORE. She needed an intentional space where she could create and cultivate the marriage she truly wanted. So what nudge from her intuition helped her choose The Marriage MBA program? Hearing about the concept of the power of one.  You’re going to love our conversation. Listen in to my chat with Ashley to hear more about: - What intuition means and the impact of our connection to it - Simple ways to tune into our intuition  - Understanding and owning our personal power in our relationships - Reconnecting to your values and vision for your relationship and life - Leaning on your intuition to repair ruptures in your relationship  Find full show notes, and links to resources at http://maggiereyes.com/podcast/153  

Would you believe the concept for this episode came from a Louis Vuitton bag I bought? This particular pre-loved Louis Vuitton had a monogrammed tag attached to it with the initials MVT. Obviously they’re not my own initials, but something about the letters MVT struck me. They swirled around in my brain until it hit me: Most Valuable Thoughts!  Leave it to me to come up with a coaching concept from a purse – very on-brand and I love it. Thanks to my inspiration, the concept of our most valuable thoughts got me to thinking about:    - What defines a valuable thought, and what makes it more valuable than other thoughts?  - What is my marriage like when I focus on my most valuable thoughts? - How does our marriage mindset benefit when our most valuable thoughts take priority? - How do our least valuable thoughts impact our relationships?   Tune in to this episode to get the answers to all these questions, as well as a simple coaching exercise to help you identify your most valuable AND least valuable thoughts, so you can choose exactly which thoughts to think more of.

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I’m taking you down a track you probably never imagined would tie in perfectly with marriage and relationships: Formula 1 racing. I bet you didn't think you could find ways to improve your marriage from Formula 1, but you can. In this podcast, I covered 10 of them for you. And it was so fun! Don’t worry - you do not need to follow racing or have any interest in Formula 1 at all to get a ton of usefulness out of everything I offered. At its core, this episode is a guide to help you find inspiration from different arenas of life and different areas of the world, whether it's creativity, art, science, or sports.  Refreshing our perspective helps us see a new side of things and think about them not just differently, but more deeply. What better time than the start of a new year for a new view of creating a healthy relationship? Find full show notes, and links to resources at http://maggiereyes.com/podcast/151

You’re about to hear the story of how my husband and I met from the two leading experts on the  matter – me and my hubby, Mariano. 😘   This is the perfect episode to share with you on Christmas Day, because we in fact met on Christmas Day in 2005, just like a real-life Hallmark movie.   Not only did we meet on Christmas Day (me with a recently-broken heart), but our first date was a record-breaking 7 hours long. And he proposed six months later.   Can you see why this is my favorite love story? My hubby is the best person in the world to tell it, because he remembers tons of the little details that make it so fun.   We spent this episode remembering that sweet time of first meeting, and we shared five relationship lessons we learned when we were dating – including how those lessons have shaped our relationship into what it is now.    You’ll hear more about: - The power of deciding and how that impacted Mariano’s life - How your life can change in an instant – after you put in the work - One thing I was unsure about after our first few dates - The sexiest thing I felt a romantic partner could offer  - How self awareness and authenticity factor into our relationships   Find full show notes, and links to resources at http://maggiereyes.com/podcast/150  

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I was so excited to sit down with my friend, coaching colleague, and amazing leader in the field of modern weight loss developing a thriving relationship with your body.  Her name is Priyanka Venugopal, a board-certified OBGYN physician and mind and body health coach for high-achieving, working moms. Priyanka is also the host of The Unstoppable Mom Brain podcast, where she shares tangible skills and real-life experiences about how high achievers can overcome perfectionist tendencies to lose the weight they want while living the life they want. We dove into a major theme we see all the time in our work: the crappy limiting beliefs that hold you back from getting what you actually want, whether it's in your life, in your body, or your marriage.  And what we know about these beliefs is that if you leave them unquestioned, they just get in the way of your goals. A few highlights from the episode: - The More Work, Less Work Paradox - Why high-achieving women accept status quo relationships - The emotions that get in the way of our goals - How to navigate the overwhelm of creating change - The power of giving yourself permission to fail   Find full show notes, and links to resources at http://maggiereyes.com/podcast/149

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I’m joined by a special guest who started out as an acquaintance from my coaching community and who I now realize could be my twin, Darlynn Childress.  Darlynn is a life and parent coach who spends most of her days helping moms stop feeling like crap and actually enjoy their kids.  She is also the host of the Become A Calm Mama podcast, and founder of the online community, “The Calm Mama Club.” She’s dedicated to sharing practical tips and tools for you as parents to feel more calm and more enjoyment in your relationship with your kids.  And of course, we applied all these same concepts to being spouses and partners in our relationships.

On this episode, my dear client, friend, and host of the Your Favorite You podcast, Melissa Parsons, invited me to interview her and do a deep-dive into the power of life coaching with a relationship coach over the long term.  Melissa is a doctor and certified life coach, who is currently completing an additional trauma-informed coaching certification. She’s also celebrating the kickoff of her second year in podcasting with the release of this episode, which will also air on her podcast- so fun! We began working together when Melissa was approaching the empty-nest phase and knew her highest intention was for that nest to feel really good with her husband, Jon.  As you’ll learn, Melissa’s experience has been a beautiful evolution – not without messy parts – but her marriage is that much stronger from doing the work with a marriage coach. We explore the power and impact of having a touchstone, a champion, and someone who regularly holds space for you. We examine how a life coach asks the questions that shift your perspective, and invite you to think differently than you have about your relationships before.  I can’t wait for you to hear this conversation. Melissa is such a special person that I’ve had the joy and honor to get to know as a client, colleague, and human. It’s such a meaningful thing to get to reflect to her all the transformations she’s made over the years.  Just a few things we discuss in this episode: How coaching is like treasure hunting The first thing Melissa learned in our coaching that she relies on to this today Why no one “needs” coaching – and why it’s still so beneficial Find full show notes,, and links to resources at http://maggiereyes.com/podcast/145

One of the longest relationships you’ll have in your life is the one you have with food, and that’s why my dear friend and colleague, Marjena Moll, joined me in this conversation. I can’t tell you how excited I am to show you all the connecting pieces between our relationship with our spouse and our relationship with food. You’ll be amazed.   Marjena is a coach from the Netherlands, and I am so proud that my podcast is one of the first places where she shared her wisdom, brilliance, and genius in English. Marjena’s focus is on helping women lovingly redefine their relationship with food and lose weight without dieting.   We also talked about some of the myths about long term relationships, including how they apply to both marriage and changing your relationship with food, and how to make sure they aren’t keeping you stuck.    Let’s dive right in.   For full resources, go to www.maggiereyes.com/podcast/143

For this episode, I asked my colleague and friend, Doreen Korba, to join me for to have an in depth conversation about grief. With a master’s degree in counseling and a background as a marketing executive, Doreen specializes in helping female entrepreneurs understand their nervous system and how to keep it regulated. If you’ve listened to the podcast, you know how important I think it is to have conversations about the things we don’t normally talk about and today is one of those days where we hit some deep places - stress cycles, grief, death, and managing what feels unmanageable sometimes.  Doreen’s experience with grief is a tender one, so I want to give a bit of a trigger warning: we discuss her grief journey with the loss of her newborn baby, her grieving process, and how she’s living through it today.  If that feels like too much today,  feel free to skip to another episode. But if you’d feel comforted by joining us for what feels like a chat between girlfriends-over-coffee where we’re openly discussing our losses in life, how grief affects relationships, and how we navigate it all, you’re invited to pull up a chair and join us.

On The Marriage Life Coach podcast, we’re all about building the marriage and life we want. But what if, at the same time, you could love the marriage you already have? This is a big part of what we’re diving into today.    I’m joined for this episode by double-certified international brain coach, Deborah Le Corre. She helps humans perceived as strong but who have a gooey center (ie: introvert, highly sensitive, neurodiverse) love the life they have while building the life they want.

I was both excited and delighted to have such a meaningful conversation on the podcast with someone that I love really deeply. If you’re a lawyer or know a lawyer, I hope your ears perk up because my guest today is THE life coach for lawyers. Olivia Vizachero is a certified life coach helping lawyers who are over the overwhelm to find less stress and more fulfillment by making their wellbeing a top priority. Of course, being massively successful in your career as well as your relationships (including relationship boundaries) are the byproduct of making your wellbeing your top priority. In fact, one of Olivia’s most viral Instagram posts illustrated very simply what a boundary is and what a boundary isn’t.  We all benefit from healthy boundaries in relationships. And that’s exactly what we got to dive into for this episode.  So many of us hold ourselves back from setting boundaries because of the discomfort that we might feel if we do it.  I want you to know: you will feel discomfort. And you will be okay.  Listen now for how to set loving, powerful boundaries in your marriage and in your life.      Visit www.maggiereyes.com/podcast/139 for shownotes and resources. 

Welcome to episode 138 of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast!  Marriage MBA graduate Alexis Adams joins me to talk about how she learned to decide for herself what she wants her relationship to be about, and all the different ways this empowers her in her partnership.  In addition to being a school psychologist, Alexis is a life coach for perfectionists and people pleasers, and shares the things she learned in my program that helped her have even more ownership over her own perfectionism and people-pleasing (yay!). After being in a long-term relationship for 8 years, Alexis joined The Marriage MBA to see if she could continue to be with her boyfriend without being married.  She felt a lot of shame around being unmarried and struggled deeply to find the good in her relationship. One of the most important parts of The Marriage MBA is how we explore the cultural narratives we listen to that create unnecessary stress and suffering in our lives.  The first time Alexis stepped in for coaching in the group, she felt anxious and frustrated because of the things she believed being unmarried meant for her and her relationship.  Listen to her story today as she explains how she used the tools from the Marriage MBA to change the way she was thinking about her relationship and work through those intense emotions so she could enjoy her relationship, no matter what label it has.  Tune in to hear more about: Alexis’ favorite tool from The Marriage MBA and why it “blew her mind open” The power of the question, “What if this is not a problem?” How getting coached helps you learn how to coach yourself even more powerfully  What a stress cycle is and how it affects communication in relationships  Find full show notes, and links to resources at http://maggiereyes.com/podcast/138

Coach, copywriter, mentor, friend, colleague - these are just a few words I use to describe Miish Grixti.  Miish helps me write the sales pages for my programs, as well as some of the emails that land in your inbox. She decided to go through The Marriage Mindset Makeover for herself so she could get in-depth experience that would allow her to support me even more!  That level of commitment and support really wowed me, and I knew I had to invite her on the podcast to talk about her experience.  I think one of your favorite takeaways from my conversation with Miish will be how much we love getting to be human together. We’re all just figuring out how to be a human being every day, and sharing that part of my work with Miish and my clients is so meaningful to me.  Miish already had a really strong relationship that she was more than happy with.

We're talking openly and frankly about sexual situations today, and I can’t wait to share everything with you. My guest, Erika Alsborn, is a very special person in my life, as well as a foremost leader in her field as a sexuality and birth coach.  She was one of the mentors in the coaching training that I did with Layla Martin on sex, love and relationship coaching.  She loved, guided, and supported me in that experience in such a beautiful way. Years later, Erika joined the Marriage Mindset Makeover, and I got to help her walk through some things in her relationship, so it feels like a beautiful full-circle moment to have her here for this episode. The concept for this conversation came about when I was scrolling Instagram one day (as one does) and Erika had posted these five essential turn-on tools. I messaged her immediately about coming on to give us the details of the five tools we’re covering today, and I know you’re going to love them as much as I do.

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, a fellow coach and former client of mine, Alison Cady joins me to talk about our relationships with food and with our partners and how there are so many overlaps in how we can relate more powerfully to both the food we put in our bodies and the partners share our lives with every day.    Alison talks about how she had thoughts that losing weight would cure all of her negative thoughts in the blink of an eye, and what she found was that she still had that inner bully even after the weight loss. She found coaching and learned how to reframe her thoughts and love herself, truly, and that mindset helped her keep the weight off for good.     In this episode we talk about how just like food is not the enemy, and neither is your spouse.    Whether you want a better relationship in your marriage or with your body, this episode will help you.
