What comes to mind when you think of what it takes to be a supportive partner in your relationship? Being in a relationship is beautiful, but you can run the risk of losing yourself if you\u2019re not careful. You have to be mindful to communicate with your partner who you are, what you want, and how you can best be supported. In today\u2019s episode, I am joined by the beautiful badass wife of Dr. Phil, Robin McGraw. They\u2019ve been married over 45 years and she came to debunk any myths you have around what it takes to be a loving and supportive partner, especially when your significant other is larger than life and has a strong personality. She shares why she is so passionate about the importance of taking care of yourself and being okay with putting yourself first in order to show up 100% for your family. She\u2019s unlocking the secrets of what it takes to spend a meaningful and purposeful lifetime together with the one you love, so take notes.\xa0\n\nSHOW NOTES: \nSupportive Wife | Robin on wanting to support Dr. Phil and not missing any shows [1:30] \nPurpose | Not being conflicted about your purpose, making sure your partner supports it [6:44] \nChanges | Robin explains why talking about changes together in marriage is so important [8:51] \nNon-Negotiable | Robin on what her deal breaker was and communicating that [10:25] \nFrustration | Robin on how she powers through anger with journaling and not lashing out [15:51] \nPut Yourself 1st | Why caring for your family isn\u2019t a sacrifice but requires you to be #1 [18:58] \nFirm Beliefs | Robin on telling him how to treat you and what you want [28:17] \nForgiveness | Robin on Dr. Phil not forgetting to mail hundreds of handwritten letters [30:39] \nDivorce | Robin discusses why divorce is not an option and early conversations about it [38:10] \nPayoff Phase | Robin shares what the dessert phase is like after 45 years married [42:40]\xa0\n\nFollow Robin McGraw: \nWebsite: https://www.ivegotasecretwithrobinmcgraw.com/ \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/robin_mcgraw \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/robinmcgrawofficial \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robin_mcgraw/ \nYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPYeLvLCbf05dLQEwQanb2w\n\nCheck out our sponsors: \nBlinkist: Go to https://blinkist.com/woi Try it FREE for 7 days and save 25% off your new subscription. \nTeonan: Go to TEONAN.com and use the code WOI to get 15% off your first purchase. \n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nCalling all Badasses!!
