In this episode, Renée Trudeau and John Howard discuss how you can create an environment of growth for your relationship and individually as partners while also sending a message of acceptance and non-judgement. It can be tricky to set an intention for both you and your partner to improve as people without feeling uncomfortably pressured to do so or rejected. You’ll learn how to accept yourself and your partner unconditionally while not becoming complacent.

“Change happens more efficiently when we feel safe and relaxed. If we’re in a state where we’re feeling threatened, our mind is rigid and that’s the state we’re bringing to a conversation or an interaction.” – John Howard
