Because the real work isn't making your partner wrong…it's getting curious about yourself. I wanted to talk about what makes relationships tricky and what makes them actually work, and in this episode, I share my own story; how I went from completely collapsing whenever Mike got upset, to finally learning how to hold my centre. How we survived the brutal early parenting years when we were both drowning and how post-traumatic stress cracked me open and forced me to do the real work.

Those who are doing the work, holding the space, trying to communicate better. And I want to say this… the fact that you're asking \"what's here for me?\" instead of \"what's wrong with them?\" means you're already transforming your relationship. Maybe not with your partner yet, but definitely with yourself.
