Dela

In Part 1 of this moving conversation, Cesar and Foster sit down with Foster’s longtime therapist, JJ Brake, to explore what truly makes relationships thrive. JJ is an expert in couples therapy, parent education, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and shares the three keys to lasting connection. She breaks down how to navigate conflict, communicate courageously, and offers tangible tools for more mindful relationships.

In this episode they explore: 

  • The 3 relationship skills that every couple should know
  • Why context doesn’t matter in conflict and what to focus on instead
  • The power of the U-turn: how to take ownership of your triggers and communicate from the heart
  • Why “I’m sorry” often misses the mark and what real accountability sounds like
  • The surprising emotional truth behind your child’s “tantrums”
