Is Your Stress Secretly Sabotaging Your Love Life?
In this thought-provoking episode, James Preece welcomes the dynamic Emily Dallara—high performance coach, somatic practitioner, and advisor to startup CEOs—for a heartfelt, honest, and truly fun conversation about how your nervous system might be sabotaging your love life!
Emily uncovers the real reasons behind those explosive rows, why you’re on edge during dates, and how your nervous system is quietly running the show in every relationship you have. The episode is packed with eye-opening moments: from Emily’s own burnout journey (“regulate yourself!”—we’ve all been there) to practical tips you can use to build long-term emotional resilience and connect more deeply with your partner.
Want to learn about “co-regulation” or try a hands-on technique that transforms stress into calm in minutes? Emily leads James (and you!) through a simple, effective exercise you’ll want to use again and again.
If you’ve ever wished for less anxiety and more calm, intimacy, and fun in your relationships, this episode will give you the tools (and laughs) you need. Hit play and discover why understanding your own nervous system might just be the secret to love you never knew you needed!
