In this episode of You First: A Journey to Self, we're kicking off a special two-part series on building a loving, healthy relationship—and I’ve brought my fiancé, TJ, along for this one! We’re talking about the foundational habits and early conversations that have helped us create a strong, connected partnership. From setting intentions together to navigating those tough discussions with honesty and openness, we share insights on what’s worked for us—and what hasn't—as we continue learning and growing as a couple. 

This week, we dive into the importance of trust, setting boundaries, and making each other a priority. We also talk about the power of vulnerability, how we’ve challenged each other in positive ways, and why voicing your needs early on can help prevent resentment down the road. Join us for a heartfelt, real-life conversation on what it takes to build a relationship rooted in authenticity, trust, and love. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week!
