Ep. 32 - Co-Designing the Rhythms and Rituals of Your Relationship

One of the least talked about - but most important - aspects of a relationship is how you structure your daily lives together. What are the rhythms and rituals you live by? What is the flow of your days? 

Often couples fall into unconscious patterns, without having a clear conversation on the rhythms they want to create together. Nor do they talk about their implicit expectations and baseline standards - which can breed resentment and hurt feelings.  

By having an open and honest conversation about these areas, you two can consciously design a more beautiful and fulfilling life together. 

In this episode, I share with you two powerful sets of questions to talk about with your partner to help you set your baseline standards and design your daily rhythms. This is potent work! May it create more flow and harmony in your relationship.
