Are you interested in deepening your relationship?  Valentine’s Day got you feeling lonely in the relationship world?  In this episode, we dive into discussing what makes for a healthy happy relationship, how to improve your relationship and so much more.

In this episode, I talk with Amber Hawley, a licensed marriage and family therapist who works with high performing/entrepreneurial couples helping them have more fulfilling relationships without sacrificing their businesses. She owns a group therapy practice in Silicon Valley, as well as being a wife, a mom of three kids, and an avid coffee drinker.

  • Why is it important to do something special with your partner?
  • What is the best way for couples to fight?
  • How do we know when the relationship is not working?
  • How do we learn to embrace our partner’s differences?
