When we first meet someone, the thing we instantly look for is a 'spark' - do a connect, are we attracted to each other, do we feel passion and fire and connection. What we often forget to look for is compatibility - does this person see me? Compatibility is the long term make or break of a relationship, regardless of how much intensity is there in the beginning. In today's episode, we break down the 5 biggest signs of emotional compatibility, including: 

• Why we should be searching for stillness over excitement
• What effortless communication should feel like 
• Do you need to have the same political views as your partner? 
• The 4 emotional languages 
• The secret power of laughter + so much more 

Finally, I share a brief compatibility checklist so you can judge a new relationship or connection for yourself. Listen now!
