The Modern Relationship With Elizabeth Earnshaw Adult Education

    • Mental Health

I've read a lot of books and articles about relationships. Most of them have very similar information, but sometimes you can find a little nugget in there. My problem with them is that they're all still based on this sort of classic view of relationships. They still kind of look at things through the lens of one working parent, one parent at home, 2.5 children etc. That's not what the world looks like anymore, so their advice really doesn't make a ton of sense.
Enter in licensed marriage and family therapist Elizabeth Earnshaw. You may know her better as @lizlistens on Instagram. She's publishing her first book (out 11/30/21) and she takes the modern relationship into account.
The book, 'I Want This To Work: An Inclusive Guide To Navigating The Most Difficult Relationship Issues We Face In The Modern Age', tackles the struggles that partners face in our modern time. She looks at situations where both in the relationship are working, both have their own goals and aspirations in life, the influence of outside sources like work stress and constant communication, and so much more.
This is my second time chatting with Liz. She was a guest on episode 23 of the show back in 2020. I'm so glad we had a chance to catch up again because there's so much great information in this book. I hope you enjoy our conversation and you pick up her book!
