❤️ In this special episode of Peace & Plenty in 20, I'm joined by my husband, DAVID DERAMO, to share the communication tools that have transformed our marriage and can revolutionize ALL your important relationships. Whether you're married, single, divorced, widowed, or navigating any kind of partnership, these three powerful strategies work with partners, children, friends, colleagues, and family members.

We all experience communication disconnects in our relationships - those moments when you're talking past each other or missing what the other person truly needs. Through a recent breakdown in our own communication, we discovered these game-changing approaches that create deeper connection, understanding, and harmony.
