Growth Over Easy: No‑BS Guidance for Long‑Term Relationships
Welcome to Growth Over Easy — the no-BS resource for successful men who want to apply the same strategic thinking they use in business to build stronger relationships, improve communication with their partner, and create lasting emotional intimacy.
Hosted by Lilly Rachels, MSW, relationship coach and co-founder of Relational Somatics, this show combines relationship strategy, nervous system science, and communication frameworks to help high-achieving men break free from patterns of overthinking, emotional shutdown, and disconnection.
Each week, you'll learn how your nervous system, attachment style, and relationship blueprint shape your love life — and how to shift from reactive arguments and emotional distance into confident communication, deeper trust, and genuine connection.
If you're a successful man who's tired of:
The same repetitive conflicts with your partner
Feeling like you're "doing everything wrong" in your relationship
Shutting down emotionally during difficult conversations
Your partner saying you're "not present" or "emotionally unavailable"
Struggling to balance career success with relationship satisfaction
...this podcast will give you the strategic tools, frameworks, and real-world techniques to master relationship skills the way you've mastered your career.
We answer questions like:
How do I communicate with my partner without triggering an argument?
Why do I shut down emotionally during conflict — and how do I stop?
How can I stay calm and present when conversations get heated?
What do I do when my partner withdraws or becomes emotionally distant?
How do successful men balance career demands with relationship connection?
What communication strategies actually work for long-term partnerships?
How do I rebuild intimacy after months (or years) of emotional distance?
Whether you're in a long-term relationship, married, or dating with intention, Relationship Growth will help you think strategically about relationships, communicate with confidence, and build the emotional connection that lasts — without losing yourself in the process.
Perfect for:
Executives and entrepreneurs who want relationship mastery
High-achieving men exploring relationship coaching and strategic communication
Men who prefer systems and frameworks over "just talk about your feelings"
Anyone ready to move from surviving their relationship to genuinely enjoying it
🎙️ New episodes drop weekly with practical strategies, real stories, and science-backed tools from somatic psychology, attachment theory, and executive relationship coaching.
Stop overthinking. Start connecting. Build the relationship you actually want.
