From Crisis to Connection — Saving Relationships Without Sacrificing Success with Puya Delavar In this episode of The TRUUMAN Podcast, we’re joined by Puya Delavar, a Relationship Crisis Coach and founder of Puya Delavar Consulting, who works exclusively with high-performing men in leadership roles to help them repair and rebuild their relationships—without compromising their professional edge.
Puya brings over a decade of deep research and experience in behavioural psychology, helping men uncover the real reasons behind emotional disconnection, recurring conflict, and relational breakdowns. His approach isn’t just about "fixing" problems—it’s about building relationships that can thrive under pressure and creating holistic success in life, leadership, and love.
In this episode, we cover:
🔹 Why successful, driven men often struggle in their intimate relationships
🔹 The silent patterns that create distance and disconnection
🔹 How to spot the early warning signs of emotional separation
🔹 The most common mistakes men make when trying to “fix” things
🔹 Why working harder doesn’t always work in relationships
🔹 How to rebuild intimacy, trust, and communication without sacrificing success
🔹 The philosophy of holistic success and why it matters more than hustle
🔹 Real-world results from Puya’s Crisis to Connection Programme
Key Takeaways:
✅ You don’t have to choose between professional ambition and a healthy relationship
✅ Most men are never taught how to lead in their personal life
✅ Connection is a skill—just like leadership
✅ Relationship repair starts with self-awareness and pattern recognition
✅ It’s not too late to reconnect and future-proof your relationship
Powerful Quotes from Puya:
“High performance in your career means nothing if your home life is falling apart.”
“Most men wait until they’re on the brink of separation to ask for help—what if we could catch it earlier?”
“Success at work is visible. Relationship breakdowns are silent—until it’s too late.”
“Connection is built with intention, not assumption.”
