Episode notes

The more intimate the setting is, I often feel like there's a little bit more pressure as opposed to something that is based around an activity. You're engaged in an activity. There's a bit of playfulness. There's some laughter. Or if you're hiking, you're kind of not just focused on the conversation between each other, but you're navigating and making decisions together. And it can allow you to maybe bring down some of those walls and get know someone a little bit.

Episode #273. When we think about health and wellness, what usually comes to mind is nutrition, exercise, sleep, or some other tangible metric. But what about love? In this conversation, I sit down with relationship coach Jillian Turecki to hear her insights on the power of a healthy relationship.
