Big Kid Problems

When you spend enough time with a person, disagreements and fights are inevitable! But HOW you fight with your significant other can really make or break your relationship.

On our roundtable this week we have on a REAL Life married couple who knows a thing or two about relationship fights – Adam and Danielle of the Marriage and Martini’s Podcast. These two have basically turned their fights into a hit podcast and we talk about fighting styles, how kids marriage and other milestones can affect your relationship AND how to stay together through all the bullshit that life throws your way.

THEN I have on Lindsay Metselaar of the popular Dating Podcast “We met at Acme”. She’s here to talk about how to fight fair, relationship deal-breakers,  AND how to apologize when you go overboard in the fighting department

If you’re stressed out and you know it clap your hands! One thing with adulting is that the older we get, the more responsibilities we have and the more stress we have to deal with. BUT everyone handles stress differently, and how YOU handle stress can directly affect your health and quality of life. 

So I was really excited when I got the chance to connect with our incredible guest this week, Emily Fletcher. She literally wrote the book “Stress Less and Accomplish More” which.. who doesn’t want both of those things? We are going to get into the neuroscience of what Stress is doing to our brains and bodies, how stress makes us “stupid sick and slow”, we’ll hear how she got rid of her debilitating Insomnia, and we’ll get into some techniques to manage stress so we can all get better at life. Who doesn’t want to get better at life?!
