SHERRY GABA AND CARLA ROMO
About this episode

Sherry and Carla get into a quick debate on leg washing, and then announce their first program together, The Love Fix Coaching Program! They welcome Monica Berg, author, podcaster, and Chief Communications officer at The Kabbalah Center. Monica shares how her many years of Kabbalastic study taught her lessons about life and love, and why so many of us are stuck in half commitments. Monica talks about the characteristics in our potential love partners that we really should be looking for, and how to trade perfectionism for presence in our lives.
