It's time to throw out the shoulds and any rules of how to have a relationship – we're headed into 2023, right? Prepared to leave inspired as we chat with Kim Nicol about how she and her partner went against unconventional timelines and designed a relationship that works for them. We discuss how to stay open to the possibilities of where a relationship could go without the anchor how it should go, how to be independent yet loving to your partner, and why self-care is essential for a relationship that lasts for the long haul.
