Humans are social beings. The relationships that we create allow us to grow individually. However, building a long-term relationship with someone, be it romantic or not, inevitably comes with obstacles and challenges. When do we push for it to work, and when do we accept that it is not for us? In today's episode, relationship expert Fiachara 'Figs' O'Sullivan joins us to discuss the basics of relationship building therapy. He explains how personal development is deeply connected to how we act in our relationship with other people. We also talk about the ways we can make our relationships work through practicing empathy.

Tune in to this podcast and start creating better relationships with yourself and your loved ones!   5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode “People's worst fights, people's biggest disconnection, (and) ongoing repetitive arguments are actually evidence of just how important they are to each other, not evidence that there's something fundamentally wrong with us.” “Are we coming to the end of this relationship? Or is this another growth opportunity?” “If you really love each other, you're going to get to a place where you scare each other.” “At the end of the day, it's not a sustainable way for the course of an entire lifetime to be beating ourselves up so that we perform our maximum capacity.” On living a life Ever Forward: “What it means to me is to continue to be honest with myself, be curious about myself, look inside, find what the real vulnerability is underneath whatever actions I'm taking, and then be willing and brave and courageous enough to share that vulnerability with the world.”   About the Guest Figs O'Sullivan is a certified emotionally focused couples therapist and counselor.
