In this episode, we unpack how to answer to the age old question of "Do I Stay or Do I Go?" in a romantic relationship, and how to make the love you have work if you decide to stay. 
We discuss the importance of understanding the purpose of the relationship and aligning on key aspects such as commitment, values, and goals; how needs are at the root of every relationship, and how to meet them; evolving a relationship that isn't working into one that fulfills you profoundly; safety and how it can be in conflict with strategies used in relationships; the critical importance of emotional responsibility; and so much more. [Recorded Feb, 2024]
