(Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories and examples.)  In this episode, Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn and Dr. Jessica Higgins discuss:  A love story of a middle-aged couple.  The warmth, humor, and connection that comes from a deep level of intimacy.  When confronted with a major hardship, we have the opportunity to uplift each other and keep each other afloat.  With a major health issue, there is an individual journey as well as a couple journey.  When we attempt to protect our partner from our pain, we often feel isolated. What honesty, acceptance, strength and courage can look like within a relationship during painful times.  How life's difficulties can separate us and bring us back together again.  Collaboration through mutual trust and respect.  Mentioned:   Website: https://bleeckerstreetmedia.com/ordinary-love-film Insta: bleeckerstfilms Twitter: @bleeckerstfilms Connect with Dr. Jessica Higgins:   Facebook: facebook.com/EmpoweredRelationship  Instagram: instagram.com/drjessicahiggins  Podcast: drjessicahiggins.com/podcasts  Pinterest: pinterest.com/EmpowerRelation  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drjessicahiggins  Twitter: @DrJessHiggins  Website: drjessicahiggins.com   Email: [email protected]   If you have a topic you would like me to discuss, please contact me by clicking on the "Ask Dr. Jessica Higgins" button here.  Thank you so much for your interest in improving your relationship.  Also, I would so appreciate your honest rating and review.
