A lot has changed very quickly. The world has been thrust into an unprecedented crisis and we’re all doing our best to cope with the changes. As much as we’re rising to the challenges, I’m sure we’ve all been experiencing difficulty with life at the moment. We are stuck at home and somehow we have to balance work, family and household responsibilities all at the same time without our usual ‘releases’ of gyms, cafes, parties, parks... It’s a unique challenge.

Communication has always been a fundamental part of a successful relationship, but all the more now. With the forced confinement of social isolation, we find ourselves experiencing more of the little things we don’t like in our partners - things we would either usually just shrug off or see so infrequently that it wouldn’t matter. These little annoyances fester in our minds and without proper communication, can quickly lead to resentment and animosity between you and your partner which can spiral into conflict and arguments. Generally speaking, communication does not come as easy to men as it does to women hence why I am targeting this podcast to the men out there finding it hard to share feelings and issues during COVID19 and beyond.
