Summary
We're getting real today...because building the type of connection that's real and honest takes us looking at love differently. We're joined by John Kim aka The Angry Therapist who challenges the traditional, views of loves, arguing for a more grounded approach that's more realistic. We're discussing the reasons his definition of a healthy relationship has changed over the years, how to co-create with your partner (even if you are on your first date!), and some unconventional advice to connect better, restarting over again, and moving forward after an expired relationship (as he likes to call it). To learn more about John Kim, you can follow him @theangrytherapist and go to https://www.theangrytherapist.com/. Get his new book 'Love Hard On Purpose' wherever books are sold.
