One of the biggest sources of human suffering comes from our tendency to avoid uncomfortable emotions. We are not taught how to face these unpleasant, somewhat frequent experiences.

Anyone who has ever been a people-pleaser can know how hard it is to be in relationships that don’t have reciprocity.

In this joint episode, with my partner in life and …

The cliche’ that happiness is an inside job is true. Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “wherever you go, there you are.” The foundational step to a happier, more fulfilling life is self-awareness.

We often make the mistake of equating longevity with success when it comes to marriage. “Wow! You’ve been married 30 years?
