Being able to connect with your partner and truly understand how they feel is at the core of any lasting relationship. Today on the podcast, I am joined by Marla Mattenson, a relationship and intimacy expert for entrepreneur couples. Marla and her husband Julain are such epic leaders for love and developing a relationship built on trust, authenticity, truth.
