I sit down with Destiny Bennett, an author, speaker, parenting coach, educator, and wife & mother to three boys. Her life’s work and purpose revolves around her journey through and connection to motherhood and relationships and she’s passionate about helping others restore their marriages and foster authentic connection with their children.
Both your relationship with your partner and your relationship with your children are intertwined, because how we model our relationship with our partner teaches our children how to be in relation with others. Respecting one another extends not only to your partner but your kids as well. This conversation is packed with practical tips and life experiences to implement in your own life.
In this episode we cover
- The connection between a strong marriage relationship and a strong bond with your children
- Destiny’s relationship journey with her partner
- Marriage secrets that helped them restore their relationship that once was suffering greatly
- Key principles in fostering an intentional love filled marriage
- How to make time for intimacy when life is so busy
- Healthy communication tips when navigating disagreements with your partner
- How porn was destroying their marriage
- Changing toxic generational patterns in parenting
- Respecting your child’s individuality
- Fostering authentic connection over punishment
- Apologizing to our children: In order to raise children who are accountable for themselves, we must be accountable for ourselves
- Appropriately respond to our children when they are struggling with big feelings and learning to regulate their emotions

I have been in a relationship for 13 years with my high school sweatheart❤️ We have gone through our fair share of ups and downs, but one thing we have mastered is working through our arguments and respecting what each other has to say. I always tell others that communication and respect are some of the most important items for any relationship, but especially for couples❤️
Erika--Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your beautiful love story with your husband. I hope the two of you continue to grow together in love and that you have many more decades of love, life, happiness, and adventures together. My husband and I are also high school sweethearts. We have been together for almost 26 years and married for 21. No matter what we have going on in our lives or relationship, we always celebrate our dating/together anniversary and our wedding anniversary each year. There is a bond and a depth of love, respect, learning, sharing, and growth that comes with being together through so many phases of life ( for us, our entire adults lives thus far) that has helped us to remain committed to each other, our family, and overcoming all the life, health, parenting, and relationship challenges that we have faced and will likely face in the future.
I think your example of still allowing your child to help out with the painting shows a lot of maturity. It is a parent saying I set an unnecessary boundary (usually out of convenience rather than safety) and I was wrong. It is actually the harder thing to do as a parent rather than hold a boundary “just because.”
Also would love to see some reels or advice on how to deal with family members not respecting a child’s boundaries. It is very normal in my family to force children to hug or accept kisses from relatives they barely know or don’t feel comfortable with and I hate it. But they usually do it behind my back when I am not in arms reach to protect my child. I never know how to bring it up and explain why it’s wrong.
Not to be mean: Very Insteresting topic, but had to click out as the Like got worst! “like” “like” hard to focus
This is very helpful to watch! I have always found the beginning of the relationship is hard because there is so much to learn about each other. Does anyone else have this experience?
I find it heartbreaking and frustrating, the idea many have of not apologising to their children. They are humans. They deserve respect. And as adult carers of them, we are given a responsibility to give a good example. 🤗
46:50 Please do an episode about exposure kids to technology what are the pros and cons it's so interesting to me!

This was one of my favourite episodes. Thank you Ellen, and thank you Destiny for everything you shared.
wow amazing thank you Marta for sharing that! and for listening :)
Loving this podcast, Ellen! You have the most phenomenal guests
16:25 awww, my almost 5 year old does that to me ALL THE TIME. Especially when I'm upset about something gone wrong. I've tried to make it habitual to respond, "yes you're right, baby. It's fine." Best ever! I love how children get to the point in the best way.
Hello Ellen and Destiny, I love how you promote connection and conscious communication. Ellen I appreciate the quality of all of your videos. Thank you so much for speaking up your truth. I appreciate that and it makes me want to stand up for myself more and learn how to listen. All the best, Lura

How much each of you give and how little each of you take for granted, will determine the success of a relationship.

Well I thought synchronicity was a word too🤣
well it is a word haha, I was just second guessing it - for some reason it didn't sound right to me at the time lol.
Can you post or make an announcement about your other channels posting schedule? For the past year now I check it every Sunday and it’s variable. If you would formally announce “I’m posting once a month”, etc, I think a lot of your OG viewers would appreciate it so we know what to expect ❤️
thanks for sharing your thoughts! I haven't been as consistent with my main channel these days so I dont have a set schedule like I do with my podcast channel. but I will tell you that im editing a video this week for my Ellen Fisher channel coming out soon :) thanks so much for being such a long time follower and for your patience with me, I sooo appreciate your support keo and will do my best to share soon the type of consistency ill be able to maintain in the future!

33:00 A sex night ? I guarantee you many marriage do not even have that night
I love the conversation but the amount of "like" turned me off.
Agreed. She has such a beautiful personality and really important points! Maybe she was nervous? It just kept getting worse 😅
Good subject, but please don't put in an add just as your in the middle of a sentence. Pretty annoying.
I don't know how to describe it but sometimes I can tell when someone's been working on themselves in a spiritual level. They have a spark in their eyes so genuine that tell us "Look I struggled a lot but I'm here and you can do it too"
I'm so glad to have creators like Ellen or Destiny to look up to! They guide me to grow into the best version of myself every day! 🫶🏻❤️
