Episode 3: Balancing Life, Fitness, and Love with Good Communication

In this special episode, Iâ m joined by my wife and cohost, Marisa, for an honest conversation on what it really takes to cultivate strong, lifelong communicationâ whether weâ re connecting as spouses, training partners, or in a coach-athlete relationship. Drawing on personal anecdotes and lessons learned, we explore the challenges and rewards of wearing multiple hats in our everyday life.

We dive into the strategies weâ ve developed for staying on the same page: from setting clear boundaries and checking in regularly, to supporting each other through setbacks and celebrating wins. Youâ ll hear what we had to learn about ourselves, and about each other in order to ensure we were actually communicating the right way. We also talk about the importance of â maintenanceâ â the conscious, ongoing effort needed to ensure both our relationship and our shared goals continue to thrive over the long haul.

No matter your current season of life, this conversation offers some practical tips on how to foster meaningful dialogue, nurture each otherâ s growth, and keep the spark alive in any partnership + some unsolicited advice from me (Coach Chris). If youâ re looking to strengthen your bondâ whether in the gym, on the field, or at homeâ then tune in and discover how focusing on healthy communication can be the catalyst for achieving balance in life, fitness, and love. Enjoy the show!
