In this episode, Cheryl and Frank Mancini discuss:  

• How social media and lifestyle contribute to the rate of depression. 
• The first and second daily practices that nourish the soil that relationship woes grow in and can end relationship failure once and for all. 
• How to create an environment that communicates love to your partner, so they feel fully loved. 

Key Takeaways:  

• The brain is unable to differentiate between an argument or physical altercation and releases the same stress hormones. 
• Communication is the root of all good relationships, but in a fight, it can lead to trouble because they don’t know how to express what they’re trying to say. 
• Instead of focusing on meeting the needs of your partner, focus on how to ask for your needs while aligning with their value system.
