Relational Health Guest pt 1 - Claire Gould Treat Yo Health

I have my friend Claire Gould @getclairified.com on the show this month to talk about partnership and marriage. Claire and her partner AJ have navigated multiple cross-country moves, periods of having a long-distance relationship, and many other challenges in their 10+ year relationship.

This is a great show if you're partnered and are interested in learning tips on different ways to think about your relationship or if you're single and looking for a view from the inside, so to speak. We talk about how Claire navigated the change, how they facilitate communication in their relationship, tools they've learned from couples therapy and why therapy is useful for "happy" couples, her and her husband's annual "state of our union" meeting, and how learning from "non traditional" relationships has lent to the health and creativity of her own traditional marriage.

I'm a single male who's never been married so my view of relationships is limited to just that. So I wanted to share a voice with you to show the other side of relationships, once you've found that person you want to share your life with. Dating isn't over once you tie the knot, your path down relationships is just beginning!
