Episode 103 Notes - Links and References:

Tips from Allison and Mike:

“Be friends, make time for each other, to make time for our personal interests and “passion projects”, to work as a team, to laugh and to love.”

“Cherish Each other’s Uniqueness”.  

Recognize each other’s differences and honor them as complimentary. Their Individual “Passion Projects” and Creative Outlets: Allison is a Travel Writer, Singer, find her on social media @kidscomewith and www.kidscomewith.com and the band is “Fictional Name”. Mike enjoys collecting watches, taking them apart, and servicing them. Find “Otto’s Watches” on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @ottoswatches. Their shared business: https://www.ottopsych.com/ 

“You’re my forever play person.”

Make space for each partner and space for the relationship and work to move and change with life circumstances.  Attend to each other when things feel out of balance; recognize it, and prioritize the relationship.  

Build a Strong Foundation of friendship with shared values, mission, and vision for your life and love together.

Argue efficiently and Use humor to mitigate the intensity of arguments. Instead of keeping score  - ask, listen, address the topic and move on. Continue to deepen your relationship, know the other person so that you can admit the other person might be right. Help identify each other’s “blind spots” with kindness and love. Take a breath and get out of your own way!

Shared Values

Love, respect, kindness, family, fun. Checking in with each other; knowing each other well. Making Time for Each Partner + Making Time for the Relationship +Making Time for Family + Making Time for Fun! They manage business, life, and love as a team!

Shared Vision

For the future, they are excited to focus on nurturing their relationship, their children, their personal passions, and their business. Allison wants to add  in more travel, and Mike discussed diversifying their income and investing in new business ventures!
