Creating World Peace | One Relationship at a Time
Author, Speaker, Thinking Partner
I am fascinated by the way connections work. I am most passionate about exploring how they lead to meaningful and fulfilling relationships, the way they help us grow, how they contribute to our awareness of self and others, and how all of these could be seen similarly and differently across relationships, cultures and organizations.
Love by Design | Available Now
Are you ready to build the relationship you desire and deserve?
As I am sure you know, the quality of our relationships profoundly shapes the quality of our lives. How we navigate one relationship often reflects how we approach all relationships. Yet, unlike financial or career planning—where clear strategies guide our decisions—we often leave love to chance and luck. But we don’t have to.
In my research and practice for over 2 decades across 41 countries, I’ve identified 8 common relational configurations that reveal how couples connect, and I’ve developed a groundbreaking model of love called the Emergent Love Model. This framework is built on 6 essential ingredients for thriving and lasting relationships: mutual attraction, trust, compassion, respect, shared vision, and loving behavior. These aren’t just buzzwords; they’re actionable, research-driven elements that form the foundation of lasting, fulfilling connections.

As the holiday season approaches, many brace themselves to manage their resources—time, energy, attention, and money—while striving to meet the expectations of those around them. My usual holiday newsletters are filled with tips on how to regulate oneself and cultivate a pleasant and fulfilling season for you and those close to you. This year, however, the political climate has shifted the focus of many conversations and interactions. With this in mind, I am dedicating this newsletter to navigating political divides between couples, with extended family, children, and friends.

I am praying for our world, for all of us, for our children, for our humanity. Let the light within you be the warmth that reaches beyond any divide. Only when we feel love and compassion within ourselves can we spread it into the world, bridging differences of sex, gender, politics, and society. May this glow be a reminder: true connection starts in the heart and shines brightest when shared. #unity #peace #peacewithin #compassion #love #humanityfirst #love
