During these times, we are all having to find new ways to connect.
Join me every week as I talk with people that inspire me, about love, life, leadership, and silver linings.
The hope is that we all leave with something I think we need these days… A Bit of Optimism.
We’re taking some time off to bring you even more episodes of A Bit of Optimism that you’re going to love! In the meantime, we’re revisiting some of our favorite episodes, like this one with couples counselor Shawn McBride.
Relationships are hard. No matter how much we like, respect, or love someone, conflict seems inevitable.
But even as we fight and disagree, we can also learn the skills we need to resolve our problems. For over two decades, Shawn McBride has helped thousands of couples do the work to strengthen their relationships. And he has tons of practical advice.
Shawn sat down with me to discuss the three biggest problems couples face, why I’m a huge fan of his Instagram, and how love can keep relationships afloat, but it’s often not enough.
This…is A Bit of Optimism.
