Let us know how you enjoyed this episode! So many couples start wondering, “How did we get here?” once kids enter the picture. It’s not that the love disappeared — it’s that it got deprioritized.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode! Have you ever wondered why conflict with your spouse goes sideways all the time? One thing a lot of my clients have in common is that they're focusing on protecting themselves rather than to connect.
