What is the secret sauce to building a strong relationship?
For Lindsey and Elliot Schwartz, it starts with sharing your fears (no matter how irrational) and communicating the support you need.
But how do you develop the self-awareness to know where those fears are coming from and confront them head on together?
Lindsey is the wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and podcast host behind Powerhouse Women, a platform that helps women get out of their own way and into action around their big ideas. Her husband, Elliot, is a top medical sales rep and trainer with Covidian and self-described Ambassador of Contribution. Together, they are unstoppable.
