Intro

Let’s be honest: parenting (and partnering) gets real when worry, anger, or overwhelm walks into the room. In this week’s Emotions with Ease episode, Jami sits down with her husband, Justin, for an honest (and funny) conversation about what it’s like to be in a relationship where one person wrestles with anxiety—and how to stay connected through it. They share stories from 18 years of marriage, how they’ve learned to support each other through emotional “loops,” and the one question that’s changed how they handle tough moments. If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know what to say when my partner is spiraling,” or “I just want us to be on the same page,” — this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways

• You don’t have to fix it.
• Your presence matters more than your solutions.
• Ask better questions. “Do you want my ear or my input?” creates instant clarity and connection.
• Movement regulates the mind.
• Protect time for exercise and fresh air—it’s medicine for anxiety.
• Talk before you’re triggered.
• Discuss what support looks like before the next emotional wave hits.
• Breathing and staying present might sound basic—but they’re powerful and evidence-based.
