The #1 Relationship Skill You’re Probably Overcomplicating

Let’s just say it — communication is the relationship skill everyone thinks they’re good at... until they’re in a situation that needs it the most. 😅

Truth is, most of us are either:

  • Oversharing and calling it “vulnerability”

  • Bottling it all up and calling it “boundaries”

  • Or just crossing our fingers that people “get us” without us saying anything at all

So in this week’s episode of our newly rebranded podcast — Relationship Rescue — we’re talking about what real connection sounds like. And we’re kicking off Season 2 with none other than celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin, who’s worked with Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Williams, and Nicole Kidman (just to name a few).

In this conversation, Angela opens up about:

  • How she built emotional intimacy with her A-list clients (not just “made them look pretty”)

  • Why communication and confidence are inseparable

  • How she turned her passion into purpose (and why relationships made all the difference)

🎯 Quick Tips to Try Today:

  • Swap “You never…” with “I feel…” — game changer.

  • Instead of reacting, try repeating back what you heard before responding.

  • Say what you need, not what the other person is doing wrong.

The truth? Communication isn’t just about words — it’s about presence. That’s what Angela gets, and that’s what we’re unpacking all season long.
