Co-creating Thriving Relationships: Combining Inner Work with Outer Action with Dawn Kutza PhD

We are wired for connection. We are meant to be in relationship and communion with other people. Since the beginning of time, we have needed a community to survive. And yet, that doesn’t mean that we have been given the playbook for co-creating relationships that thrive and flourish. In this episode with the brilliant and talented Dawn Kutza, PhD and author of "Creating Authentic Relationships: A Love Playbook for the Next Generation", we explore what it means to come into a relationship “healthy” and what kind of personal growth work we do as individuals and as couples to get comfortable with vulnerability, build self-awareness, increase trust, cheer each other on and encourage one another to grow as individuals and as partners.
