MOMENT | The hidden importance of emotional safety in relationships with Matthew Fray

This Moment is with Matthew Fray. After Matt’s wife came to him and asked for a divorce, he began a journey of self-reflection to understand what went wrong. He wrote a now-viral article called My wife divorced me, because I left dishes by the sink, and then a best-selling book called This is how your marriage ends. What he learned is incredible. And I think pretty life-changing stuff. He saw that what happens in most relationships, particularly in relationships of good people who really do love each other, is that we engage in a series of small habits and dynamics that over time, erode safety and trust.

Motherhood transformed me into who I was meant to be all along | Megan Rose Lane

I am in awe of anyone who can take on life’s challenges and turn them on their head. This week’s guest, Megan Rose Lane, embodies that courage. Megan is a spiritual mentor who empowers women to break through fears and limitations by harnessing their inner power and aligning with their soul truth. She knows courage well - the courage it took her to face and heal from her life-threatening eating disorder, to leave a relationship when it wasn’t working, to get out of debt and buy her own home, and to face a financial mistake she made last year that almost cost her everything. I hope this episode leaves you feeling a little bit more courageous, even if just by 1% more, and a little bit braver no matter what that might mean to you.

How do you feel about your relationship with alcohol? That is a big question in our society. It is everywhere and so ingrained in how we live. Drinking has been normalised, especially in Motherhood. Cat is a year sober now, which I’m curious about as I am 10 years sober. We both have a shared love of the 12-steps which is a recovery process used in Alcoholics Anonymous and also Al-Anon which is the 12-step group I have been in for over 15 years now. We chat about her journey to sobriety. How she went from denying there was a problem to proudly calling herself an alcoholic without shame. She shares the moment she knew she had to get help and how it felt being newly sober when the world around her was still drinking. I hope however you feel about your drinking you’ll take something from this very beautiful and honest conversation. My sponsor this week is Athletic Greens.
