🌿 Episode 05: Stop Working on Your Marriage — and Start Working on You
Collective Guidance Podcast


What if the secret to a thriving relationship isn’t “working on the relationship” at all — but instead, working on you?

In this powerful episode of Collective Guidance, host Charla Goodnight sits down with Jenny Gremillion, Certified Relationship Coach and host of The Happy Wife Mentor podcast, to explore how focusing on your own joy, fulfillment, and self-awareness can completely transform your marriage or partnership.

Jenny shares her personal journey from frustration and burnout to a marriage that feels more connected, grounded, and alive than ever before. She explains why women often feel like they have to “do it all” — and how learning to say “I can’t” can become one of the most powerful relationship tools you’ll ever use.

Together, Charla and Jenny discuss:
✨ Why “self-care” isn’t just bubble baths — it’s a relationship strategy
✨ How to keep your vibration high by doing three things daily that make
you happy
✨ The three most powerful ways to show your partner respect — without losing your authenticity
✨ How to shift from resentment to gratitude and reclaim your feminine energy
✨ Why working on yourself automatically changes the “dance” in your relationship

As Charla beautifully reminds us, “Every human wants to feel respected and heard. When we focus on love, joy, and gratitude, we shift what we attract.”

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unseen in your relationship — this episode will inspire you to step back, breathe, and remember your own light.
