Lead Yourself First: Mastering Emotional...

Maria Fuentes
About this episode

Hey, my beautiful muses! Welcome back to another episode of You First: A Journey to Self. Today, I’m diving into something near and dear to my heart – how to lead yourself in your relationship and communicate your needs and desires in a way that fosters true connection. I’ll walk you through the process I use to really check in with myself, filter through past triggers, and communicate in a way that creates vulnerability, trust, and understanding with my partner.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to check in with yourself before communicating your emotions and needs
  • The powerful process of filtering through past triggers to gain clarity
  • Why leading with emotional awareness helps create connection in relationships
  • How to communicate your needs and desires with your partner using vulnerability and “I feel” statements
  • Why mastering your emotions empowers you in all areas of life – not just relationships

I know that when we can lead ourselves emotionally, we become unstoppable. We can navigate any challenge in our relationships, careers, and life. So if you’ve ever struggled with knowing how to express your emotions or feeling disconnected from your partner, this episode is for you.
