Do I Focus on Him or My Career?

Alex Cooper
About this episode

Join Father Cooper for a special Father’s Day Sunday Session. Alex gives a toast to her own father and reflects on the stress she put him through when she went through her “bad boy” phase in high school. She talks about her upcoming summer plans in Nantucket and what exactly she will be up to when she goes to Paris for the Olympics. It wouldn’t be fathers day without some advice from Papa Cooper. Alex breaks down how to balance a career and a relationship and talks about how some people may not live to work - and that’s okay. She offers her take on what it means when your partner’s family has hesitations around your engagement and gives the hard truth about what’s going on when your boyfriend only wants to see you once a week. Lastly, Big Al has a PSA for all the birthday divas out there that may be a little controversial. Enjoy!
