Your Self-Worth Sets the Tone For Your Marriage Oct 15, 2025

Julia reveals how self-worth quietly sets the tone of a marriage, from generational scripts and early attachment to the Four M’s that sabotage intimacy, and shares the practices that turned a parent–child dynamic into a shoulder-to-shoulder partnership. She invites you to question core beliefs, feel and grieve, set boundaries, and choose truth as the highest form of intimacy.

• marriage as a space for love, not performance

• the Four M’s that erode connection: mothering, martyring, manipulating, managing

• why unworthiness normalises enabling, denial, and small betrayals

• using a life timeline to reveal patterns and build compassion

• moving from head beliefs to body-based healing and grief

• boundaries that end over-functioning and restore adult-to-adult relating

• redefining love as truth, responsibility, and mutual worth

• daily questions that link beliefs to thoughts, feelings, and actions

• choosing partnership over parent–child dynamics

I thought his distance was my fault Aug 20, 2025

Shane and Charity share their journey from deep connection as newlyweds to growing disconnection after military retirement, and how they found their way back to each other through a structured approach to communication. They reveal how transitions in life inevitably change marriages, requiring couples to "die" to their old relationship patterns in order for new, deeper connections to emerge.
• Married 10 years, both retired from military careers, experienced gradual disconnection despite deep love for each other
• Initially unsure why conversations felt one-sided and surface-level despite their efforts
• Charity felt resentful when trying different approaches to connect, while Shane was physically present but emotionally distracted
• Discovered the concept of "staying in your backyard" - focusing on what you can control rather than trying to change your partner
• Implemented a weekly "couple's connection" hour with a structured framework that includes dedicated connection time
• Created personalized "promises" to each other about their individual growth work
• Now experience greater empathy, creativity, and safety in their relationship
• Feel like "marriage nerds" who genuinely look forward to their connection sessions
"We must die to the marriage we have in order for a new one to emerge." Difficult conversations don't go away - they just get harder to have if we avoid them.

The Transformative Power of Self-Care in Marriage Aug 07, 2025

In this episode of Hey Julia Woods, Julia dives deep into the often misunderstood concept of self-care—and how it can radically transform your marriage. Far beyond bubble baths and spa days, authentic self-care is about nurturing your spirit, soul, and body in a way that builds emotional resilience and deepens connection with your spouse.

Julia shares powerful insights from years of coaching couples through disconnection, codependency, and burnout. She unpacks how the lack of self-care leads to resentment, unhealthy patterns, and loneliness in marriage—and how learning to "mother yourself" can create space for healing, intimacy, and sustainable love.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your relationship, overextended in your role, or unsure how to care for yourself without feeling guilty, this episode is for you. You’ll learn practical ways to recognize emotional depletion, set healthy boundaries, and show up in your marriage from a place of fullness rather than need.

Whether you’re navigating marriage struggles, working on personal growth, or just want to build a stronger emotional foundation, this conversation will equip you with tools to reconnect with yourself—and your partner.

We pick a fight each week and are deepening connection. Jul 31, 2025

Josh and Mandy share their journey from feeling profoundly disconnected in marriage to rediscovering genuine intimacy and connection through intentional conversations and personal growth.

• Previously at a level 8 loneliness despite living life together

• Discovered they were living "parallel lives" with clearly divided responsibilities

• Found looking into each other's eyes exposed they hadn't truly connected in years

• Learned to identify how their own self-criticism shaped how they heard their partner

• Recognized the danger of emotional apathy that had crept into their relationship

• Committed to weekly intentional conversations about difficult topics

• Navigated their first breakthrough by realizing they were having two different conversations

• Discovered it's okay to need each other rather than maintaining rigid independence

• Reported their loneliness level dropped from 8 to 2 in just 8-10 weeks

• Created a new vision for their marriage beyond what they had witnessed in their parents

If you're feeling disconnected in your marriage, know you're not alone. We invite you to take the first step by identifying one area of tension you can discuss with your spouse this week, and remember – the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for your marriage.

Our Arguments Deepen Connection. Jul 24, 2025

Behn and Katie transformed their five-year marriage from emotional roommates to genuine partners in just two months by learning to communicate through their different emotional styles. They share their powerful journey of overcoming disconnection, victimhood patterns, and the fear of vulnerability.

• Behn struggled with recognizing and expressing his emotions

• Katie felt emotionally abandoned by Ben

• Their communication styles created conflict – Katie's was explosive and emotional, Behn logical and fact-based

• Their breakthrough moment came from focusing on themselves rather than trying to fix each other

• Learning to identify emotions daily created new patterns of connection

• They now view arguments as beneficial rather than destructive

• Community support from other couples normalized their challenges and provided motivation

• Traditional counseling focused on past baggage, while coaching helped them craft a different future

Now, through intentional work, they're building a relationship where conflict brings them closer together rather than pushing them apart.

3 Daily Drivers of Disconnection in Marriage Jul 10, 2025

Marriage disconnection often stems from three powerful yet hidden forces: self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and self-absorption that create patterns of isolation within relationships.

• Self-reliance tricks us into thinking we must figure everything out alone

• Self-sufficiency creates the false belief that having needs is weakness

• Self-absorption naturally follows when we focus only on our own experiences

• Codependent family backgrounds often teach us it's unsafe to need others

• Daily FANOS exercise helps couples practice healthy interdependence (Feelings, Affirmation, Needs, Ownership, Struggle/Sobriety)

• Recovery from "independence addiction" requires vulnerability and confession

• Creating safe spaces to express needs transforms relationship dynamics

• Community support is essential for marriage growth and healing

• True connection emerges when we accept our design as relational beings

I don’t know what to say....He increased staying in conflict by 300% Jun 05, 2025

What you don’t know is what is missing in your marriage. May 23, 2025

Marriage breakthrough happens beyond what we think we know.
Have you ever considered that the very certainties you hold about your spouse might be the walls blocking the connection you crave? In this raw and transformative episode, I share the profound revelation that changed everything in my own marriage—discovering the power of what I didn't know I didn't know.
We explore how our earliest experiences shape 90% of our core beliefs about relationships, and how confirmation bias continuously filters our perception to maintain these beliefs, whether they serve us or not. I vulnerably share how my husband and I were trapped in a cycle of disconnection because we both "knew" he wasn't interested in deep conversation. The loneliness grew unbearable until we were willing to challenge this fundamental belief.

I want a divorce because you are dishonest! May 01, 2025

Allie shares her transformative journey from nearly divorcing her husband due to addiction and dishonesty to discovering how her own fear of criticism was causing her to walk on eggshells in her marriage.
• Discovering that her "confirmation bias" was constantly seeking evidence of criticism from others
• Learning that she had developed the habit of manipulating situations to avoid facing potential criticism
• Recognizing how her dishonesty about her needs and feelings mirrored the dishonesty she resented in her husband
• Understanding how walking on eggshells robbed her of joy, authentic relationships, and peace
• Developing the ability to speak honestly about her needs without fear
• Practicing "generous listening" to hear what's actually being said rather than filtering through criticism
• Taking responsibility for her own "backyard" rather than focusing on her husband's behavior
• Finding that true joy comes from internal changes, not expecting others to behave differently
If you're walking on eggshells in your relationship or constantly anticipating criticism, examine your own patterns. The path to more joy and connection begins with owning your voice and being honest about your needs.

Our Marriage is Falling Apart! A Story of Resilience. Sep 16, 2024

💥💥Everything you need to grow the marriage you long for is waiting for you in the Marriage Growth Community:
https://beautifuloutcome.com/marriage-growth-community
What happens when the pressures of parenthood and personal struggles collide? Join us as we sit down with Kyle and Mallory, a couple who've weathered ten years of marriage and the trials of raising three young children. They candidly share the darkest chapter of their lives, starting with the birth of their second child and intensifying with the arrival of their third. Kyle opens up about his battles with anger, resentment, and substance abuse, while Mallory's patience and understanding play a crucial role in steering them towards healing. This episode is a raw exploration of self-reflection and accountability in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
The birth of their colicky third child, Bryce, was more than just an addition to their family; it was a catalyst for profound change. We delve into the emotional turmoil this period brought, from Mallory's desire to leave a longstanding job to be more present with the children, to the significant marital challenges that surfaced. Frequent, unresolved arguments created a deep sense of loneliness despite external support. The struggle to communicate effectively and the habit of internalizing conflicts emphasized the need for new strategies to navigate their relationship.
Discover the transformative tools Kyle and Mallory gained through coaching and breakthrough experiences that reshaped their approach to marriage and parenting. Kyle shares the importance of personal responsibility and accountability, while Mallory highlights the power of generous listening. They discuss how shifting from resentment to gratitude has turned everyday tasks into cherished moments of connection. This episode is a testament to how gratitude and appreciation can enrich family life and foster personal well-being.

The Transformative Power of Self-Awareness in Marriage Jul 01, 2024

Ever wondered why some marriages thrive while others falter? In this episode, we uncover the transformative power of self-awareness and its pivotal role in enhancing the quality of your relationships. Join Julia Woods as she delves into the essence of self-awareness—discovering your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, actions, and values, and understanding their impact on your spouse. Through engaging stories and actionable insights, Julia reveals how cultivating this ongoing, evolving process can lead to profound personal and relational growth.
Avoiding self-awareness might seem like the easier path, but it can wreak havoc on your marriage. Julia tackles this by exploring the dual nature within us all—the hero and the villain—and how ignoring our darker sides can breed resentment and contempt. By embracing self-awareness, you can set healthier boundaries, make clearer requests, and nurture lasting change. Julia emphasizes that personal growth is a choice, one that can lead to a more fulfilling and resilient marriage by fostering mutual trust and deeper connections.
Community plays a crucial role in developing self-awareness, and Julia highlights the importance of having others help us see what we might miss about ourselves. Practical strategies are discussed, such as daily self-inquiry and making clear commitments to change. Julia invites you to join the Marriage Growth Community, where couples receive the tools and support needed to transform their relationships. Whether you're already part of the community or thinking about joining, this episode offers valuable guidance on nurturing self-awareness for a more loving and intimate marriage.

Transforming Marriage Through Emotional Intimacy Jun 05, 2024

Can emotional intimacy truly transform your marriage? Join us as we, Julia and Jeff Woods, take you on a journey through our personal experiences, sharing candid stories of how redefining emotional intimacy reshaped our relationship. Jeff opens up about his early misconceptions, equating intimacy solely with physical connection, and how counseling broadened his understanding to encompass emotional depths. Together, we emphasize the importance of recognizing and meeting each other’s emotional needs, and how this awareness has enriched our marital bond.
Emotional maturity can be a game-changer in relationships, and we delve into our own evolution in this area. We recount moments of conflict that stemmed from emotional immaturity and how we learned to embrace constructive feedback and hold space for each other's feelings. Our transformative experience at the Breakthrough workshop played a crucial role, aligning our emotional intimacy with our sexual connection. This chapter sheds light on the brain’s remarkable ability to find solutions when prompted with the right questions, fostering healthier communication and deeper intimacy.
Consistency and structure are key to developing emotional intimacy, much like undertaking a home renovation project. We share our strategies for maintaining this connection through rituals like weekly chat times, revealing the trial-and-error process to find the most meaningful questions. From reflecting on past traumas to creating a language for challenging conversations, we discuss the ongoing nature of this journey. We encourage you to reflect on your desires for emotional intimacy and take proactive steps to cultivate it in your relationship, just as we did.

The Birthing of Community Apr 02, 2024

When you find yourself slipping into the role of a work machine, it's time to hit pause and reassess. I'm Julia Woods, and I've been there, struggling to balance work and personal life. This episode is an open heart surgery of sorts, where I lay bare the transitions that upended my world. From the loneliness of an empty nest to the upheaval of the global pandemic, I share how reclaiming my passion and embracing community became the cornerstone of my healing journey.

Let's talk about the transformative power that comes from being vulnerable. Sometimes, burying ourselves in work is how we shield ourselves from pain. But here's the twist: I found solace in joining a community in Franklin, Tennessee, and discovered the profound impact of weekly sisterhood and Chip Dodd's "The Voice of the Heart." These experiences didn't just pull me out of my shell; they sparked a revival, offering insights that promise to change how you approach life's challenges.

Wrapping up, I invite you to explore the vision of a marriage growth community. The idea is simple yet profound—just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to nurture a marriage. I'm excited to share resources to support this journey, all aimed at helping you live fully alive and grow in love and connection. Join me as we pursue a life that's not just about surviving but thriving in every commitment we make, especially in marriage.

The Marriage Growth Community will officially launch on April 16th 2024.

If you are listening before that, here is the link to join the waitlist, where you will be among the first to get access.

If you are listening after April 16th, here is the link to the website where you can learn more.

Being in a marriage where one (or both!) spouses have low self-esteem really impacts the marriage negatively.

Fifteen years into our marriage, me and my husband were struggling. He wasn’t pursuing me, he was depressed, he was dealing with addiction, and I was sure he was the problem.

Join me on this latest podcast with a special guest of honor, my amazing husband, Jeff, as we share how my low self-esteem affected our relationship, what I did to shift out of a low self-esteem, and the positive impact it had on our marriage yielding the following incredible results between us:

Open & honest conversation
I could receive feedback which helped me grow
Openly receive love
Full of grace and acceptance
