Hello and thank you for joining me on this beautiful Sunday evening for this week’s episode of The Dating and Relationship Slow on Global News Radio 640 Toronto. I’m your host, Laura Bilotta, matchmaker and founder of Single in the City.ca, joined by one of my favourite people - philanthropist and media personality Joan Kelly Walker.
We’re now over a year into the pandemic and couples have been through a lot - whether you live together or not, relationships have definitely faced many challenges that they haven’t before! Our guest tonight, couples therapist Mitchell Smolkin, is hoping to help ease relationship pains during this time. Mitchell is a certified, emotionally-focused couples therapist, a registered psychotherapist, published author and the host of the new podcast The Dignity of Suffering. Tonight, we’ll be looking into how the pandemic has affected relationships, how you can strengthen yours, and how to combat pandemic division. Thanks for joining us tonight, Mitchell.
