The Relationship Checkup: Nurturing Connections for Whole-Person Health
In this episode, CEO & Psychotherapist Kaitlyn and Brand & Marketing Lead Jenny explore why relationships deserve the same attention as nutrition, movement, and sleep when it comes to your wellness.
From busting myths about “perfect” relationships to understanding how attachment patterns show up in adulthood, this conversation covers the full spectrum of human connection – romantic partnerships, friendships, family dynamics, workplace relationships, and the foundation of it all: your relationship with yourself.
Key Topics:
Myth-busting: Healthy relationships require work, boundaries aren’t selfish, and you don’t need to be “fixed” to deserve love
Understanding attachment styles & nervous system responses in relationships
Connecting around common values and noticing green flags, yellow flags, or red flags to signify the health of your relationship
Relationship skills to focus on developing: self-awareness, clear communication, boundary-setting, and more
Why the relationship with yourself sets the blueprint for all others
Remember: healing happens in connection. You don’t have to do this work alone.
