Ep 380 Raising the Grade with Anne Rahe and Daniel
Zach sits down with Anna Rahe, fascia expert and founder of Genius of Flexibility, and her husband Daniel for an honest, layered conversation about what it looks like to “raise the grade” in a long-term partnership.
As Anna and Daniel explore the habits they’re unlearning—and the ones they’re trying to reinforce—they reflect on the small ways they grade their relationship, how conflict becomes a chance to build trust, and why staying curious about each other matters more than winning any argument. You’ll hear how their somatic awareness, emotional mismatches, and willingness to slow down help them stretch not just their bodies, but their capacity for connection.
Key Takeaways
The grade you give your relationship changes
Anna reflects on how her internal scorecard has shifted over time.
Repair is a practice, not a performance
Daniel shares that real progress means learning not to rush to a fix but to create space for the process.
“Holding space” takes effort and awareness
Instead of stepping in to fix things, Daniel is learning to simply stay present and supportive.
Curiosity beats control
Both agree that asking, “What’s going on for you?” opens more connection than trying to solve or control.
