Have you ever felt like you're carrying everything? Your family's emotions. Your marriage. Your business. Your finances. Your future. For years, EJ believed it was his job to hold everything together. The result wasn't more peace—it was more pressure, striving, and a growing inability to receive love, joy, and even rest. In this deeply personal conversation, Tarah interviews EJ about the inner work he's been doing over the past several months. What begins as a conversation about journaling, gardening, and daily practices becomes something much deeper: uncovering the old beliefs that quietly shaped his identity for decades. Together they explore: Why everything started feeling like an assignment.The hidden belief that everything was his responsibility.The difference between trying to fix yourself and learning to understand yourself.Why receiving love can feel harder than giving it.How old stories continue to shape marriages, parenting, finances, and self-worth.The surprising role that gardening, journaling, and slowing down have played in discovering a new way of living.Why real personal growth isn't about becoming someone new—it's about uncovering who you've always been beneath fear, striving, and shame. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, constantly striving, or simply wondering why joy feels so difficult to access, this episode offers an honest conversation about what it means to grow with compassion instead of pressure. ❤️ If this episode resonated with you, we'd love to hear from you.

  • Your relationship can't survive on the leftovers, the leftovers of your time, your energy, or your attention.

  • That's why we created Grounded in Love, a couples retreat in Sedona, Arizona on beautiful Oak Creek Canyon.

  • It's October 22nd to 25th, which is a Thursday to a Sunday.

  • This isn't just a getaway.

  • This is for intentional days to slow down, reconnect.

  • Build emotional safety, and create the kind of relationship you've been working so hard to build.

  • We'll guide you through powerful workshops, private coaching sessions,

  • plenty of powerful experiential moments to connect the two of you,

  • and plenty of time for just the two of you to enjoy.

  • We intentionally limited this retreat to eight couples so that you could have a deeply personalized experience.

  • We have filled half of the retreat, so we have four spaces remaining.

  • So if you've been looking for the right time to invest in your relationship, this is it.

  • Click the link in the show notes or email us at coaching at relationshiprenovation.com

  • and we'll set up a 30-minute discovery call to make sure it's a great fit for you.

  • We'd love to spend the long weekend with you.

  • Have you ever felt like you've done so much individual work, yet you still feel stuck?

  • Like there's this other layer of growth underneath, but you don't quite know what it is?

  • Well, that's exactly where I found myself, that I know I have another level of myself that I need to understand.

  • And instead of waiting to have all the answers, I thought I'd let you in on the process.

  • I love that because real growth isn't about pretending that you arrived.
