How To Make A Long Term Relationship Work with Amy Smith

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome to episode 265 of the Love Live Connection podcast! I often talk about how some gaslight-y things go on in the world of personal development, but Amy Smith doesn’t do that. I think the way she teaches about communication, vulnerability, and boundaries is her sweet spot. She also inspires me when she talks about her 20+ year marriage, which is why I’ve invited her as a guest today.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you feel like you don’t have a healthy relationship model to inspire you, then this episode’s for you.
