Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat happens when an Italian firecracker marries a Caribbean queen—then both build speaking careers in multicultural London? You get honesty, humor, and a masterclass in boundaries.In this episode, I’m joined by Lovelda and Simone Vincenzi, a power couple who met in a speaker training and built their relationship on deep friendship, candid feedback, and a willingness to do the hard work (yes, including couples therapy). We talk about blending cultures in marriage—from Christmas expectations (more pasta? more soca?) to the “your family, your conversation” rule that keeps the peace. They share how they stopped arguing on autopilot, why timing matters in tough talks, and the mindset shift from “me” to “we” that ended their recurring conflict about connection and priorities.You’ll learn:A simple prep ritual before family gatherings that prevents hurt feelingsHow to structure feedback when you work in the same high-pressure industryWhy a third-party “translator” can turn stalemates into breakthroughsPractical ways to protect “us time” without losing independenceConnect with Lovelda and Simone:Lovelda's LinkedInLovelda's InstagramSimone's LinkedInSimone's YouTubeLearn More About GTeX www.thespeakersummit.co www.thespeaekerawards.comBooked Speaker ToolkitRelationship Game Plan Call Free Conversation Starter Cards for Couples Couples Goal Setting WorkbookSubmit a Dear Katie episode questionFollow Katie Rössler on Instagram
