Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. We start by exploring how the quest for status can hinder the authenticity of our relationships. It's a harsh truth many face - a picture-perfect relationship that's hollow on the inside. Identifying these signs and confronting the discomfort will pave the way for a more fulfilling relationship. From there, we will delve into the essence of authenticity in a relationship. In a society obsessed with appearances, finding a partner who values growth over grandeur is crucial. We discuss scenarios you might encounter while seeking a partner and offer insights to help you manage a status-driven relationship. We urge listeners to prioritize real-life connections over virtual validation. After all, genuine love isn't about maintaining a status quo. It's about growing together, navigating through the highs and lows, and cherishing your bond in its raw, unfiltered glory.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In our increasingly tech-saturated world, balancing the digital and physical aspects of our lives is becoming more challenging. This issue has become even more prevalent as our emotional immaturity and lack of emotional intelligence, coupled with the lure of the digital world, tend to affect our real-life relationships negatively. Digital distractions have a significant impact on relationships. For instance, if you or your partner are constantly distracted by their devices, video games, and the digital world, your relationship is likely suffering in the real world. Therefore, it's crucial to discuss the impact of digital distraction and addiction on relationships and how to navigate it. The good news is that technology is not the enemy. How we use it can either build or break our relationships. Therefore, it's vital to use these devices as tools to develop your relationship rather than letting them become a source of disconnect. We can enjoy the benefits of technology while maintaining meaningful, real-life connections.

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 - 62 - #61 - Are The Little Things Creating a BIG Problem?
Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In this episode, they talk about how conflicts in lifestyle preferences can be a major issue for couples. Do you let the little things build up in your relationship? Regarding lifestyle conflicts, it's important to talk openly and honestly with your partner. Instead of allowing resentment to grow, take the time to voice what you want and need in the relationship. Make sure to stay respectful and open-minded while having these conversations. It takes two people working together, and being honest and vulnerable with each other, to align their preferences or come to a compromise.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. Today they discuss the importance of having your relationship’s rulebook instead of following what other people say are the “shoulds and shouldn’t.” especially when you’re in a new relationship; people often share the rules that made their relationships last. Unfortunately, their rules don’t apply to every relationship because everybody is different, and everybody’s relationships run on different core values.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In this episode, they talk about being growth-oriented in a relationship and who is more future-focused between you and your partner. A lot of people believe that relationships are synonymous with discomfort. This is because a relationship represents a permanent sacrifice, an uncomfortable place to be in for them. But being in a growth-focused relationship allows you to grow as a person and expand your comfort zone. Getting to that point in your relationship may not be easy, but it’s not impossible. Besides, the investment will be worth it.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. Today they talk about a not uncommon scenario in a relationship: when you or your partner tune each other out. Successful relationships are all about healthy communication and listening to each other. However, it's not uncommon for couples to experience periods when talking to each other becomes a challenge and listening is absent. As you think about the possible causes of this ignoring behavior, be sure to consider how well you are listening and holding space for your partner as well – it's easy to blame one partner, but often, faulty communication is a two-way street.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros.

Today they talk about getting alone time in your relationship and whether or not you’re getting enough of yours. Being partners doesn’t mean you have to do everything together. Needing space does not necessarily mean your relationship is doomed. Getting enough alone time can help you create a stronger, healthier relationship with your partner.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. Essentially, wearing the pants in a relationship refers to dominance. The person who wears the pants in a relationship is the one who has more control. But that doesn’t mean that their feelings are stronger or weaker. You can still have a relationship where someone “wears the pants,” and it’s still perfectly healthy. In this episode, they talk about who wears the pants in their relationship and how it’s supposed to be in your relationship. It’s more than just dominance. A healthy relationship also has a healthy power balance, which means control is passed between the two of you – based on different things, different circumstances, and different times.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. Today they discuss whether or not compromise is a lie in a relationship. We’ve all heard that “marriage or a relationship is about compromise” talk. It’s like a rite of passage that marriage veterans pass on to singles or couples who are considering tying the knot. But the truth is, blending your life with another person will have its struggles no matter how similar your interests are. The key is to understand who you both are outside of that relationship and appreciate your differences that add value to each other.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In this episode, they discuss the expectation that one partner knows what the other needs or wants and how this can jeopardize a relationship. In a relationship, there is often a perception that nobody knows you better than your partner. The longer your relationship, the more that perception creates an expectation that a partner should instinctively know what you need. It may appear that what you think, feel, and need at that moment is obvious. However, if you are not bringing those needs, expectations, or feelings to the surface.

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In this episode, they share how you can create space for vulnerability in your relationship and how you can be vulnerable with your partner. Being vulnerable with your partner requires accepting yourself first before you can open up and share with someone else.

Welcome back to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple, Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. Today they talk about walking on eggshells around your partner, what it is, and why you feel like you have to. In the same way an egg demands delicate treatment to avoid cracks in its frame, a person that walks on eggshells around their partner will observe considerable caution to avoid upsetting them. Nobody would want to stay in a relationship where they feel it’s not safe to speak their truth. Sometimes, it all boils down to a calm and open conversation. Agree to be honest with each other. Remind your partner that being honest and listening attentively is better than walking on eggshells.

Welcome back to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple, Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In this episode, they talk about expressing your truth without guilt in your relationship. To speak the truth in love could mean expressing your feelings about your relationship, what you want to do, or voicing your opinion about something. It is not always comfortable or easy because it goes against our conditioning, saying, ‘Be nice, be perfect, do not upset others.’ But it is a great way to create an extraordinary relationship with your partner.

Welcome back to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple, Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. Today they talk about building and growing unwavering trust in your relationship. You cannot have a healthy relationship without it. And yet, virtually all of us can bring to mind a scenario where our trust has been broken. Trust is vital for a relationship to survive. If your relationship lacks trust, it’s important to work with your partner to build it so that you can let your guard down and be vulnerable with each other.

Welcome back to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple, Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. Today they share how you can create your standards for a potential relationship. When some people think of relationship standards, they jump straight to “the list” of things they want in a partner. The list of attributes you want in a romantic partner is not the same as the standards you set for a relationship. Relationship standards reflect the standards you set for yourself and what you think you are worthy of when looking for love.

[1:56] Intentions
