Episode 2
Putting Some CAKE Into Date Night | LQ002
Join us as we explore the transformative power of "Big Picture" thinking in relationships, emphasizing how it brings freedom, energy, and confidence. We challenge the outdated notion of putting "work" into relationships and advocate for redirecting focus towards investing "energy" into connections. Any relationship tip or activity, such as a date night, is not a fundamental piece of human relationships- it’s a detail which allows you to personalize your relationship based on what fills up your unique CAKE pieces—Communication, Affection, Kindfulness, and Energy.
The CAKE acronym serves as a guide, breaking down essential elements of human connections. Communication involves the exchange of messages, Affection focuses on the giving, receiving, and growth of love actions, Kindfulness emphasizes being mindful and kind in interactions, and Energy addresses the importance of managing and replenishing energy in relationships. Tune in to discover how these big picture ideas and the CAKE framework can enhance your relationship dynamics and foster a more fulfilling connection.
