Brooke Schultz is a lifestyle and happiness coach, and today we're having the extremely important conversation about self-care and self-love. Two things we don't think we have time for - BUT MUST MAKE TIME FOR!

We have an awesome guest on today’s show, Sarah Argenal, who helps burned out working parents to help them optimize their time, improve their relationships and escape survival mode for good. Even if you're not a parent - if you want to find more time, balance and joy in your life - this episode is for you!

A chat about the power of forgiveness and how it can heal you from past hurt, anger and resentments.

One day you wake up and your sweet, innocent little girl is a TEENAGER. All of the sudden it’s harder to related, she’s not opening up to you, and you feel like you’re growing further apart. All you want to do is grab her back into your arms so you can protect her from this crazy world.

In this episode, Dr. Elise is going to give you the tools you need to connect with and communicate with your teenage daughter (or son), and you’ll learn the best way to help them and protect them when you can’t be there every second of the day. From phone time, to bullying, to why you shouldn’t have serious conversations in the car...this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

Dr. Elise & Valerie

From a decade of experience & research in the field of psychology, personality, behavior, marriage counseling and coaching - Valerie has discovered that there are FOUR MAIN types of couples: Peacemakers, Connectors, Passion Seekers, and Wayfinders. 

In this episode, Valerie is going to walk you through the four couple types, which will give you invaluable insight into your marriage/relationship!

Your couple type is determined by the way you and your partner interact with one another, your love styles, and your attachment styles.

As you started to fall in love and began your relationship, you fell into a way of communicating and engaging with each other based on your own personal preferences and accommodating your partner's personal relational preferences. 

This is how you developed your own unique couple personality type. The couple personality type is NOT static. It may change throughout your relationship as stressors, growth, and trust grows. 

Discovering your couple personality type is FUN & it can be a game-changer for your marriage or relationship!

Understanding your Couple Personality Type can:

✔️ Be one of the most powerful and insightful tools for understanding you, your partner, and how you interact as a couple. www.freecouplesquiz.com

✔️ Arm you and your partner with this knowledge you need to gain deep insight into your relationship and the tools to transform the relationship from within.

✔️ Help you learn the RIGHT tools & behaviors that are BEST for YOUR SPECIFIC COUPLE TYPE! (The tools that you've been using may work for other couple types - but could be detrimental to your couple type.)
