April 14, 2024 #3 ASK 3 SIMPLE QUESTIONS TO IMPROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP (YOU, ME & WE)
Have you ever felt like your partner is, instead of finding a solution, just trying to prove you wrong?
If this sounds familiar, you should definetly listen to this episode where Evie and Ben unpack the magic of mutual understanding, respect and empathy. A.K.A the basics of a healthy relationship. It won’t surprise you that this magic is all about the holy f$%&ing trinity of a relationship: The YOU, the ME and the WE.
What will surprise you, however, is, how widely you can use this tool/concept/framework. Because it does not only help to understand, as Evie puts it, “what do I want/think/feel, what do you want/think/feel and what does that mean to us” but also to realise for yourself whether you’re just blinded by the moment or if you really want something.
Oh and be prepared for Ben to butcher the English language… 😅
Take-aways for #Sh*t-Free-Love
- You’ll learn how to implement the YOU, ME & WE
- We’ll teach you the premises of this concept
- And we’ll give you a wide range of use cases in your relationships (spoiler: it’s more than just resolving conflicts…)
