Some relationships don’t break because of big events—they fracture quietly through years of misunderstanding, assumptions, and unspoken emotion.
In this two-part series, we invited Marcus Straub—coach, mentor, brother-in-law to Erin and husband to Kellie and—to guide us through a live, unscripted deep-dive into our own relationship as sisters.
In Part One, we explored self-awareness through our DISC assessments: how we’re wired to behave, communicate, and respond under pressure.
In Part Two, we take it a step further—uncovering the Driving Forces that shape our motivations, influence our responses & reactions, and define how we show up for the people we love. Understanding the WHY behind our HOW.
We laugh, reflect, and lean into the sometimes uncomfortable truths about family, communication, and the courage it takes to listen without judgment or assumption. What began as a coaching session became a powerful reminder that healing relationships isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about rediscovering what’s possible.
In this episode, we:
- Explore the 12 Driving Forces and how they influence relationships
- Discover why curiosity and courage are more powerful than control
- Learn to listen without defensiveness and speak without blame
- Discuss the power of empathy, healthy boundaries, and compassion
- Show how behavioral tools can bring connection back to families
... and so much more!
Every conversation we have reminds us that self-awareness is the foundation for all kinds of love—between siblings, partners, friends, families, and even within ourselves.
If you’re ready to experience your own "reset," explore The P-I-G Relationship Reset—a guided and deeply personal coaching experience to help you discover, understand, and heal together.
