About this episode

In today's episode, I’m sharing five communication and conflict mistakes that I often see people making in relationships and what you can do instead to bridge a positive connection with your partner.

We'll cover:

  • Why we shouldn’t avoid the hard conversations
  • What happens when we suppress our emotions
  • How to express your desires with your partner
  • Why we shouldn’t expect our partners to be mind readers
