EPISODE #18 – The Daily Check In & Why It Matters
In this episode, we are going to talk about talking.
Once you listen, you are going to deeply understand why simple conversations with your partner are so important, and how asking a simple question like “How was your day?” is as important as saying “I love you.”
Think about the last five conversations you had with your honey over the last few days. How many of those have been about either maintenance (keeping your home and family running), and how many have been about problems (issues that need to get fixed and addressed)?
Now think about those same five conversations – how many of them have been about sharing your interior world? About hopes, dreams, desires, or reliving happy memories and planning how to make new ones? How many have been about sharing the ups and downs of your day-to-day adventures?
If you feel like your conversations are getting hard and stale like old French bread, this is the episode for you.
