#108 - How to reset when you can’t stop niggling at each other

Kim and Rog — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 19:00:00 +0000

Are you and your partner stuck in that same old loop, snapping over small things, circling around the same topics and wondering how you got here again?

Well, you're not alone. Most couples don't fight about what they think they're fighting about. It's rarely the dishes or the phone or the tone of what was said. It's the deeper stuff underneath that never quite gets said. And instead of talking about what's really going on, we end up niggling, poking and protecting ourselves, hoping the other person will notice what we're really trying to say. I miss you. I. I need you. Do you still need me?

In this episode, we're unpacking why couples fall into that dance of frustration and defensiveness and how to break the pattern before it takes over. And we'll share our go to reset. One simple shift that helps you move from tension to teamwork and getting back to feeling like you're on the same side again.

Kim and Rog — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 19:00:00 +0000

You know those small moments that catch you off guard, like when your partner skips ahead on the show you were watching together or heads out with their friends and forgets to mention that it was actually a whole of group event, including partners.

#105 - How to be your partners hype guy when they're feeling low

Kim and Rog — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +0000

We all have low energy days or even low energy seasons. And one of the biggest mistakes couples can make is expecting both partners to be fit and firing on all cylinders, all of the time.

The reality is that's just not how life works. Sometimes your partner may be flat, overwhelmed or running on empty. And in those moments, they don't need fixing, they need support, they need encouragement, a bit of belief. They need their hype guy.

In today's episode, we're looking at how to spot when your partner needs lifting and how to step in with the right kind of energy. We'll share what research says about support within a relationship and why the little things like admiration, presence and gentle check ins matter most when your partner is feeling low. Let's dive in.

#103 - 5 questions that bring you closer together

Kim and Rog — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Ever feel like the conversations you have with your partner seem to just revolve around logistics, like what's for dinner, who's doing the school run, what time's the plumber coming this morning?

#102 - You have the power to change your relationship

Kim and Rog — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Here's the truth. No one really tells you you have the power to change your relationship, not because you've been doing it wrong, but because when life gets full, it's so easy to keep pushing your relationship to the bottom of the list. You tell yourself we'll deal with it when things quieten down, but that moment rarely comes.

In today's episode, we're diving into the belief that underpins every strong relationship.

Change doesn't start with finding the perfect person or waiting for the perfect moment. It starts with showing up and deciding to do things.

We'll unpack why so many couples put their relationship on autopilot, how we fall into the trap of assuming love will just take care of itself and the three small steps you can take today to start shifting things. If you've ever thought there has to be more than this, this episode is for you.

Kim and Rog — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Feeling stuck in your relationship? Like nothing's terribly wrong, but it's also not right. The sparks dulled, the days blur, and everything feels a bit like Groundhog Day.

You guys are not alone. So many couples hit this place. And the worst part is it can feel helpless, hopeless, like this is just how things are now. But here's the truth.

How would you know the path forward? How would you know what to do to make a change?

In today's episode, we're circling back to the theme of our very first and still most popular episode. With a fresh look at how you can start shifting things using real learnable tools.

Kim and Rog — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Remember the spark you felt at the start of your relationship. The excitement, the flirting, the effortless little gestures that made you feel so connected. It wasn't just romance, it was your hormones doing their job.

#96 - 4 simple mindset shifts that move your relationship from ‘me’ to ‘we’

Kim and Rog — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 20:00:00 +0000

Ever found yourself silently tallying up who's done more? More parenting, more chores, more giving?

Or feeling a flash of resentment when your partner heads out for drinks and you're still knee deep in the chaos? You're not alone. When life gets full and stress kicks in, it's easy for couples to slip into the me versus you mentality, competing for time, energy and space.

In today's episode, we're sharing a simple but powerful rule based on the research from the Gottman Institute that helps busy couples reconnect through five simple touch points.

Ever catch yourself thinking, "I really want to connect more with my partner, but we're just so busy right now. I'll focus on us when the kids are a little bit older."

In today's episode, we explore the risks of postponing joy and satisfaction in our personal lives and in our relationships. We'll also discuss how adopting a growth mindset and how the happiness of pursuit can transform our approach to life and love.

Kim and Rog — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 19:25:00 +0000

Going through the motions in life, we all do it, but just how detrimental can this be? We argue very, because the world is really good at telling us what we should be doing, giving us social norms that we just fulfill because we don't stop to think about whether they actually work for us.

Children, they're one of the most magical parts of life. But reality is they also bring on one of the hardest seasons of life in your relationship.

#10 - Body Image in Relationships Part 2

Kim and Rog — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 19:00:00 +0000

Trigger warning. The issues we are discussing today regarding body image can evoke strong emotional and psychological responses. They land differently with each individual, and it is always important that we check in with ourselves before we receive information as to whether we are mentally in a place to manage the processing of that information. It is an act of self-compassion to know when not to listen to something. Please take a moment to do this. Check-in now to decide what is right for you and if listening to the show today brings up any issues for you, help is always available at Lifeline on 13 11 14, or through the Butterfly Foundation, who specialize in support for eating disorders and body image issues on 1800 33 4673.

Body Image in Relationships Part 2

On todays episode we're digging into the hard stuff, body image. It affects a lot of us. In fact, one in two Aussies, rarely or never speak positively about their bodies. And it affects us in more ways than you might realise. It can especially affect our relationships, the way we feel about ourselves, the way we feel about our partners, the way we connect with our partners, and the way we are intimate together. Our Australian of the Year for 2023, Taryn Brumfitt was chosen as a leader in the body image movement. The time has clearly come culturally for us to open up and discuss the real impact of negative body image and how we can find a more positive path forward.
