Description

“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.” - Esther Perel

My relationships are everything. That's true for my friendships, my extended family, my kids, and of course, my husband, with whom I'm co-creating our entire life. But even though romantic relationships are so meaningful, they can be some of the most tricky to navigate.

So much pressure can be layered onto this relationship, from kids to money and all the other complexities. So how can we ensure we’re nourishing these relationships and setting ourselves up to thrive?

As we head into the summer break, I’m dedicating this episode to the top five ingredients that make a relationship harmonious, functional, romantic, fun, and connected. These five ingredients often get neglected when our responsibilities bog us down and can make the most difference when we’re intentional about building back up.

Let's pull joy in together!
