Heart Versus Head

In this episode, Randy and Beverly explain why Heart/Heart relationships and Head/Head relationships don't work like you think they might. Listen and consider how all relationships seek the balance of Heart and Head. The secret isn't finding someone who has a relationship style just like yours, it's about finding the person who can balance your style, create polarity, and slide the correct direction to support you when you're struggling. When you can do that... everything else works better.

Relationships will all experience a dip in the fun factor - for lots of reasons - and this episode offers some ideas to get the fun back. If you're ready to have some fun, grab your partner and listen to the podcast. #HeartVersusHead
