In this episode Stephanie and Mairead discuss power in relationships. Power is often

considered a negative word in relationships, but not here. Sensing that you have power and

some leverage to influence the direction and pace of your relationship is vital to a healthy, happy

one. Without this, someone is conceding, staying silent, appeasing, giving in, and over time,

resentment builds and unhappiness follows.
