#58 - 5 Life-Changing Relationship Rules...

Sarah Yudkin
About this episode

In this episode, I talk with Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT, about 5 relationship rules that changed her life. She’s been married for 20 years and has so much wisdom to share.

 

Here’s a sneak peek at the 5 life-changing relationship rules:

1. It is not your job or my job to manage our family’s emotions.

2. It is not your job to please the people you are in a relationship with.

3. They are allowed to have their feelings about our choices.

4. It is okay if they struggle to understand us.

5. You get to (and they get to) change their mind or change, period.

 

This conversation is jam-packed with helpful reminders about how to navigate the challenges that can come from relationships.
