© 2025 The Relational Intelligence Podcast
Description
We all crave human connection, acceptance, and love but not all of us have learned how to relate to one another or even ourselves well. The Relational Intelligence Podcast (T.R.I.P.) is all about finding ways to develop happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationships, whether they be romantic, platonic, family, or work relationships. We'll have casual conversations about common relational obstacles and talk through ways that we can each individually do our part to present the best version of ourselves in our relationships.

In this week's episode we discuss the dilemma we often face when looking to determine if a relationship is worth nurturing, maintaining, or releasing. While there is no guidebook to tell us exactly what to do, we can leverage biblical principles and our discernment to determine our steps. We share 6 things we can focus on to determine if we should stay in the relationship: 1. Focus on their heart (1 Samuel 6:17) - is this a person of integrity? Do I trust them? 2. Be equally yoked (2 Corinthi...
In this week's episode we dive into Matthew 7:3 that says, "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" We're called to live a life of humility, and that heart posture enables us to continually grow in love with the freedom to make mistakes. A happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationship cannot be nurtured with the presence of pride and absence of self-reflection. We're encouraged to refrain from maximizing the mistakes of our pee...

In this week's episode we talk through a few findings from the book Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection by Dr. John and Dr. Julie Gottman and a casual conversation between my colleagues and I about those findings on a random Tuesday. We discuss three conflict styles highlighted in the book (Avoidant, Validating, Volatile) and keys the authors shared about things to avoid during conflict and things to aim for in order to create connection. If you're interested i...

In this week's episode we speak to Angela Duckworth's book Grit. She outlines three different views of work - job, career, and calling. In her book, she speaks to the degree of grit involved at each level. I paralleled job, career, and calling to dating, relationships, and life partnership. We zoom out and take a look at what our expectations and investments look like at each level of romantic relationship.
I'm going to keep it straight with you - uncovering your true identity is going to take a lot of humility because it'll be a game of trial and error. This lifelong journey allows us to sift through all the filth that life, hurt, rejection, misunderstanding, and everything else that has covered up the beauty of who we really are. I intentionally titled this UNcovering your true Identity rather than DIScovering your true identity because it's already inside of you. We don't need to find it, we...
In this week's episode we talk about our role in choosing not only who is in our lives, but how much access they have to us. I share my own framework for choosing people to do life with as a means to encourage others to understand their own relational needs. I mentioned a sermon from Pastor Travis Greene of Forward City Church that references what it means to have "diggers" in your life. Diggers are the people that will get down and dirty with you, the ones that will fight, work, push forwar...
In this week's episode we speak to both sides of pride (the good and the bad) and what it means to live a life of authentic humility. Pride is on a spectrum, there's healthy pride like self-respect, and there's unhealthy pride like arrogance. I don't know about you, but often when I hear people speak about pride, the negative side is the one being highlighted and I want to challenge that narrative. Can we really have humility without pride?
In this week's episode we discuss the ways in which we may welcome frustrations into our lives. From small nuisances to larger-scale frustrations, it's important for us to take note of the role we may play. We discussed three primary strategies for reducing these sorts of frustrations: 1. Seek first to understand 2. Take accountability 3. Be flexible These three strategies work together to lead us to a more peaceful life. Tune in to learn more about how to apply these strategies to you...
After reflecting on a chaotic few weeks I recognized that I stopped engaging in one my most important practices - brain dumps. In this week's episode I share how brain dumps impacted my life, what they are, and how we can all start making use of them. Brain dumps allow you to clear out the toxins that have entered your mind and hold on to the nutrient rich information that you've consumed throughout the day. I look at it much like digestion - the only difference is that we have to be very ac...
