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.

Much Love,
