EmPowered Couples with The Freemans

After the last episdoe you now think "ok great, I'm doing my part, but what about my partner"? We asked many of you how your partner normally responds when you hold them accountable, and the answers were versions of: denial, defensiveness, withdrawing, being rude, or dismissive.

If you don’t have an agreement about how you will hold each other accountable, it can feel like being micro-managed or controlled. This leads to tension, and even feeling “parented” by each other. So instead of that frustration, tune in to this episode for specific ways to hold yourself and your partner accountable to making real progress.
