What if the key to better relationships isn’t about fixing them—but leading yourself?
In this episode of The Life You Crave, I’m sitting down with Dr. Jeni Wahlig, co-founder of Powerful Love Relationships and co-creator of the Powerful Love Method, to talk all things conscious self-leadership and what it really takes to create deeply connected, drama-free relationships.
With more than 20 years of experience in couples and family therapy, Dr. Jeni has seen it all—and she’s sharing her signature 3-pillar approach: Learn, Liberate, and Lead with Love. Together, we dive into how to release old relationship baggage, communicate like a grown woman, and lead change from the inside out—even when your partner isn’t quite there yet.
Whether it’s your romantic relationship, your family dynamic, or even the one you have with yourself, this conversation will help you see that real transformation starts with you.
Get ready to lead with love and create the relationships—and life—you crave.
