At the start of a new year, many couples talk about goals, plans, and what needs fixing.

But relationships don’t usually lose direction because people stop caring or stop trying.

They lose direction because there’s no shared vision organising the relationship anymore.

In this conversation, we explore the difference between relationships that are guided by vision — and those that slowly become organised around conditions like work, kids, finances, health, and day-to-day pressure.

When a relationship has a shared sense of where we are going together, it naturally invites:

• greater clarity and focus
• more vitality and presence
• a deeper sense of certainty and love
  
  
  

Not because life gets easier — but because the relationship has a direction that’s bigger than today’s circumstances.

When that vision is missing, something quieter tends to happen.

The relationship fragments.

Attention gets pulled outward.

Circumstances start leading — and the relationship becomes something that’s managed rather than consciously created.

This isn’t about vision boards, five-year plans, or trying harder.

It’s about the felt sense of direction that allows a relationship to stay alive, connected, and resilient — even when life is demanding.

Inside True North, this is one of the core shifts we guide people through:

not fixing relationships, not pushing for change, but reconnecting to vision so clarity, vitality, and love can organise naturally again.

“We just need to communicate better…”
It sounds logical — but what if communication isn’t the real issue?

In this episode, we unpack why most relationship advice misses the mark when it focuses on fixing words, scripts or communication techniques… without addressing what’s actually underneath.

You’ll discover:
🔹 Why communication often breaks down before words are even spoken
🔹 The nervous system cues and emotional patterns that shape how we speak and listen
🔹 What to do when talking doesn’t help (and might be making things worse)
🔹 How to shift the energy behind the communication, not just the language

If you're stuck in the loop of “we talk, but nothing changes” — this conversation will give you a whole new lens.

Are you doing all the work in your relationship — and still feeling like it’s not enough?

This episode is for the high-functioning, overthinking, emotionally responsible partners who are constantly trying harder... and quietly burning out in the process.

In this honest conversation, we break down:
🔹 Why “trying harder” can actually push connection further away
🔹 How nervous system imbalance fuels resentment and emotional disconnection
🔹 The hidden cost of self-abandonment and over-functioning in relationships
🔹 What to do instead — especially if you’re the one always holding it all together

You don’t need to fix everything to create real connection — but you do need to break the loop you’re stuck in.

• How your past patterns may be playing out in your present dynamic
• The subtle ways control and manipulation show up — and how to stop

Ever felt like your relationships aren't quite what you want them to be?

In this episode, Linda and Craig unpack how your outer relationships are not just random – they’re actually reflecting what’s happening within you. Whether it's a lack of emotional intimacy, ongoing tension, or feeling unseen, these patterns are revealing deeper stories you’re carrying about your worth, safety, and power.

If you're tired of feeling stuck in frustrating dynamics or yearning for relationships that feel deeper, more connected, and more authentic — this is for you.

What we cover:
* The unconscious stories that shape our relationships.
* Why emotional safety and “power struggles” often start within.
* What high-calibre relationships actually look like.
* The sneaky ways we surrogate our power to others.
* Why shifting your inner state transforms what you attract.

Join us inside the True North Aligned Community on Skool where we go deeper into how to reclaim your energy, time, and truth to live the life you're truly here for.

Ever found yourself caught in the same argument, playing out the same reaction, saying the same things… again?

In this episode of The True North Aligned Life, Craig and Linda unpack what it really means to take a breath, create space, and consciously choose something higher — especially when you least feel like it.

When conflict hits, our default is to react. But reaction is just the recycled self, drawing on old patterns that never create what we truly want.

This episode is an invitation to pause. To recognise that the moment you're triggered is actually the moment you have the most power — the power to choose awareness over autopilot, and connection over chaos.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The subtle but powerful choice that can interrupt old patterns instantly
• Why doing nothing consciously is sometimes the most transformational action
• What Craig calls “the dysfunctional dominoes” — and how to stop them falling
• How to start standing for a higher dynamic, even if you don’t yet know what that looks like
• Why self-awareness is step one — and why that first step is always the hardest

This is a foundational conversation for anyone ready to redefine how they show up in moments of tension, and create relationships built on consciousness, not conditioning.

If you’ve ever said, “Why do we keep doing this?” — this episode is for you.

What if the reason you’re stuck has nothing to do with time, money, or motivation — and everything to do with your relationship to truth?

In this raw and revealing episode, Linda and Craig explore one of the most confronting yet liberating forces in personal transformation: the truth.

[Like what you're hearing... Join our Skool community for more: https://www.skool.com/true-north-aligned-life/about ]

But we’re not talking about philosophical or spiritual “truth” — we’re talking about what’s actually happening, right now, in your life… stripped of emotion, stories, blame, and survival strategies.

You’ll discover:

• How early childhood conditioning distorted our relationship with truth
• The sneaky ways we emotionally embellish situations to avoid responsibility
• Why “being honest with ourselves” is harder than we think — and how to shift it
• The power of checking facts vs fiction when caught in reactivity
• Why acting in accordance with your truth creates freedom for everyone around you

This isn’t about being harsh. It’s about being free.

Truth isn’t just a value — it’s a vibration that brings you into alignment with who you really are. And when you live in alignment with truth, your results, relationships, and inner clarity transform.

If you’ve been wondering:

• Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?
• Why aren’t my results matching my intentions?
• Why do I feel like I’m living someone else’s life?

…then this episode is the mirror you didn’t know you needed.

Listen now if you’re ready to:
✔ Stop outsourcing your power to your past
✔ Reclaim clarity and choice in the moment
✔ See the world (and yourself) with clean lenses
✔ Break free from the stories that keep you small

This conversation may be uncomfortable at times — but on the other side of discomfort is freedom.

Your truth is the key.
