My guest this week is John Howard. John is an internationally-recognized therapist, wellness expert, and educator who uses the latest science to help couples have stronger relationships. He is the host of The John Howard Show, a wellness podcast, and the creator of the Ready Set Love\\xae series of neuroscience-based online programs for couples.

In this episode, we share our own stories and I get more vulnerable than usual\\u2013 and that is telling of how supportive John is as a friend.\\xa0

Throughout his life, John has devoted his time to discovering the depths of healthy, whole relationships. This led him to realize the difference of Good Relationships and Good Intentions. This goes as follows\\u2026

\\xa0

Good relationship skills vs good intentions = two VERY different things!\\xa0

They\\u2019re different skill sets. And this is where John can help you out :-)

So\\u2014 to better understand all of this, I laid it ALL out on the table\\u2026 I just dealt with a recent breakup and John so graciously offered his sound and professional advice.

This led us to talk about attachment styles\\u2013 and let\\u2019s be real, we all could benefit from understanding this ;-)
