Self-Care for Extremely Busy Women


Oct 29, 2019

Whether you’re talking about love or work, there is always a constant – relationships. Sometimes we can’t live with ’em, AND we really can’t live without ’em. Really, it all boils down to us, for we are the one big constant in all of this relating … right?

I begin with a humbling tale of my own self-discovery on a Sunday at Berkeley Bowl, one of the more popular and crowded grocery stores here in the Bay Area. A meltdown led to a breakthrough in how I communicated my needs, and the assumptions I jumped to. Not proud of this … but I learned a lot, so I thought I’d share.

My wonderful guest is Dr. Jessica Higgins, a psychologist who helps couples stay healthy in their marriages. She is also the host of the Empowered Relationship Podcast. She shared so many great ideas about how to stay happy in love …

Among other things, I learned:

  • The REAL reason we bicker and argue
  • Why we struggle with communications – especially with people we love
  • How our relating is changing in the era of Big Tech
  • The power of being triggered
  • How to handle being attacked emotionally
  • What men struggle with in relationships
  • How long it takes to breathe your way back from engaging in a fight
