We watched Netflix - 'Plastic Detox' documentary and we did a Plastic Detox over 7 days, a focused household clean up to reduce plastics.

We talk about what we changed, what surprised us, where it was easier than expected, and where it wasn’t.

Communication is easy when life is easy. This episode is about what to do when it’s not. We share how we handle conflict, what escalates arguments fast, and the tools we use to calm down, talk clearly, and repair after tension, while staying honest.

So, you got married — and what’s changed? Maybe nothing? We’ll explore what’s changed for us.

That is the question.

In this episode my partner and I explore the importance of empathy and how to show it and even bridge the gap when there is lack of empathy due to certain personality traits of our partner. Enjoy!
