#69 - If My Relationship Isn't Easy, Am ...

About this episode

In this episode, I address advice like “a relationship should feel mostly positive / easy / joyful in order to be worth it”, and “if the balance swings negative or if the association is that the relationship is difficult or complex then it’s a red flag.”

If you’ve ever wondered “shouldn’t this be easier?” – this episode is for you!
