Show Notes

Todays discussion with Sam takes us to uncharted territory for most men. As tradies we often stereotype relationships, particularly our own purely from the pack banter and culture we've instilled amongst our peers on site.  We talk about how to ask for feedback and actually get useful answers from our partner, we dive into the topic of interdependence vs. codependence, how to communicate your feelings and needs inside a relationship and setting healthy boundaries to allow creative discussions, how men sabotage vulnerability and trust in relationship, the importance of developing a regular check-in with your partner, the trap of perfectionism and people-pleasing, why date nights are vital to building a strong relationship, why filling up your own cup as a husband, partner or dad is selfless not selfish. We lightly paint a picture of how most relationships are often mirrors to those relationships we have been surrounded by growing up.
