Ep 222: Allison is joined by her partner of 5+ years, Clay, who recently moved from Omaha to join her in Tulum. We discuss our journey as a couple, sharing insights on our relationship dynamics, personal growth, and the challenges we’ve overcome to deepen our understanding of the other. We reflect on our past, the importance of honest communication, the impact of taking a no-contact break and how we navigated coming back together.

TAKEAWAYS:

• When moving in together, move into an entirely new place 
• Both partners need to check their egos to avoid misunderstandings.
• Personal growth can sometimes lead to distance in a relationship.
• Communication is key to maintaining a strong partnership. 
• Financial struggles can strain relationships significantly.
• Taking a break can provide clarity and personal growth.
• Honesty and open communication are vital in relationships.
• Understanding each other's needs requires ongoing dialogue.
• Healing is a continuous journey, not a destination.
• Mutual support is essential during tough times.
• Love and commitment can evolve through shared experiences.
