Becca Ironside ,

A unique look into the behavior of couples

This was a refreshing perspective of relationships using the science of Applied Behavior Analysis. The couple unraveling this theory discuss it in such a way that you feel you as though you are having an afternoon supper with them on their deck, all while discovering parts of yourself or your partner that were previously hidden. An outstanding Podcast!
