Road of Life Podcast Episode 71

Contempt isn’t just eye-rolls or sarcasm—it’s relationship napalm. In this Road of Life Podcast episode, we break down the second Horseman of the Apocalypse (thank you, Gottmans!) and why it’s the #1 predictor of divorce.

We’ve both been guilty of it — picture Meredith's Judge-Judy-Level eye-rolls 👀 — but here’s how we swapped sarcasm and eye rolls for respect:

• Exactly what contempt is and why we do it
• Why CONTEMPT is the #1 predictor of divorce (yes, #1, worse than whatever else you’re thinking of right now)
• How contempt erodes trust and self-worth
• How to overcome contempt in your relationship and use the antidote to contempt instead.
• How to dig up hidden resentment before it explodes into contempt.

Spoiler: Kindness isn’t weakness—it’s your superpower. 💥

Action step: Replace one eye-roll today with “Tell me more”—then watch the magic.
