Let’s be honest. Relationships are challenging. They are mirrors to our trauma, triggers, and deepest pain.

As our guest puts it, “Relationships are the laboratories for our deepest growth”. But by using a bit of sports analogy and learning the blueprint, we can alter our brain, heal our nervous system, and enter our relationships with empathy and compassion to thrive collectively.

And thankfully, Lisa Marini, a brain-based relationship, life coach, author, and speaker extraordinaire, will teach us how to create a relationship where both parties feel mutually supported, seen, heard, and understood.

Throughout this episode, Lisa blew me away with how she is trailblazing the world of relationships through the lens of neuroscience in a fun and simple way that resonates with everyone.

Luckily for us, she also shares how she helps her clients and offers snippets from her top-selling book “The Couples Playbook: Relationships Are a Team Sport, Set Up Yours to Win”.
