In this episode of The Hi Felicia Podcast, I sit down with Nick Brancato to talk about relationships, priorities, and how couples can create lasting alignment. Nick shares why so many couples experience what he calls “priority drift” and what they can do to prevent it.
We also dive into his Total Difference Score (TDS) framework, a practical tool for measuring and realigning priorities—not just in romantic partnerships, but also in family, friendships, and even professional settings. Nick explains how self-awareness is at the root of connection and how aligning as a couple ripples out to families and communities.
Nick’s insights are actionable, relatable, and backed by decades of experience helping people transform tension into trust and misalignment into mutual success. Whether you’re in a new relationship, a long-term marriage, or navigating challenges, this conversation will give you tools to reconnect and grow together.
