Episode 334: Leadership in Intimate Relationships with Blair Glaser

New episodes are back! Blair Glaser joins me to talk about how leadership roles, yes, the ones from the boardroom, can help you become a better partner, communicator, and even co-parent during and after divorce. What it comes down to, quite simply, is using leadership for love.

Blair shares how her four-part leadership model applies directly to relationships in transition, including divorce and co-parenting. You'll hear how clarifying roles reduces tension, why creating a shared vision anchors you during conflict, and how to shift dynamics when relationships change.

Whether you're navigating the emotional upheaval of divorce, stepping into a new co-parenting landscape, or preparing for healthier love in the future, this conversation offers practical tools you can start using right now.

Podcast episodes are now available in two formats - audio and video! If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

What you'll hear about in this episode:

How leadership principles can change the way you date, partner, and co-parent (2:38)
Why traditional models of relationships no longer work (13:46)
How to use roles intentionally to reduce conflict and anxiety in relationships (15:34)
