In this episode we talk about the expectations we place on birthdays, imposed by social media and ourselves and how Nikki’s 36th birthday really went. Together we discuss the importance of communication with our partners when we are feeling stuck or needing help as vulnerability & curiosity are key ingredients in relationships. We also discuss how mishaps in communication cause most of our fights and frustrations.
