So comforting

...to hear that it’s expected to go through different seasons or phases (and back and forth and back again)! And its so great to hear hope and reassurance and strategy to deal with the different seasons. Such a worthwhile, quick listen 👍🏼👍🏼

Practical and realistic strategies from an expert !

Well first, I LOVE Alison’s voice. She is soothing while offering realistic ways to improve our relationship. We are both working full time with 2 kids at home and it’s tough to set time aside TIME for us. But I know it’s important . Alison gives us practical ways to do much needed maintenance . Love this podcast! It’s short and snappy - which I really need right now. Currently listening while food prepping for the family :)
