Ever wished you could find a secret formula to transform your relationship? That’s exactly what we unravel with relationship coach Matthew Pruen, as he delves into the heart of commitment, personal growth, and the magic of accepting your partner unconditionally. With his roots in both Arab and English cultures, Matthew’s unique perspective helps us understand the true essence of accepting and loving each other as fellow humans.
Our exploration continues as we shed light on the power of emotional intentional experiences on personal growth and spiritual development. We reminisce about childhood, revealing how it holds the key to understanding our deepest emotions and kick-starting a journey of self-discovery. Through the lens of the transformative Hoffman process, we learn to appreciate the evolution of consciousness and the unneurotic spiritual self.
Finally, we confront realities about relationships and commitment that often get buried under romantic fantasies. Relationships, as we discover, are more than just shared love; they’re about shared growth, with adversity acting as the catalyst. Inspired by the lessons from my book, “Slay your Dragons With Compassion”, Matthew shares his understanding of commitment as an unconditional acceptance of your partner. Get ready for an insightful exploration of commitment and self-growth within relationships. Join us, and start your journey of building stronger, deeper connections.

To become equal to the dream sewn within us, our heart must break open and usually must break more than once. That’s why they say that the only heart worth having is a broken heart. For only in breaking can it open fully and reveal what is hidden within.” – Michael Meade
This is a series of podcasts based on the premise explored in Malcolm Stern’s acclaimed book of the same name, that adversity provides us with the capacity to develop previously unexplored depths and is , in effect , a crucible for self reflection and awareness. Malcolm lost his daughter Melissa to suicide in 2014. It slowly dawned on him over the following few years that he was being educated and an opportunity was being presented where new insights helped him forge a path through his grief and despair. As part of that cathartic journey, he wrote “ Slay Your Dragons with Compassion ( Watkins 2020 ) where he was able to describe some of the practices that had helped him shed light on a way through the darkness.
