Join Josh on the road as he discusses important relationship dynamics within romantic relationships. This episode covers understanding the perspective of your partner, communicating expectations, dealing with bitterness or resentment, and ultimately ends with the power in a positive romantic relationship. We also think that this episode speaks in a broad sense to all types of relationships!

Hey everyone, Josh here! Thanks for listening today as we are going to touch on some ideas that are very personal to me. In this episode, Andrew interviews me on the topic of death and how awareness and acceptance of death can increase your quality of life. I took this opportunity to put words to thoughts I have been having for some time, and I hope this some good content for you. I hope this also provides a schema for how to think and talk about difficult topics. I used this as an opportunity to literally think out loud - so hopefully letting you into my process is helpful. Alright, now get to the podcast - and we hope you enjoy it!

Join us as we tackle the Enneagram with Wesley Nichols. Wes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Traverse and is highly trained in both the Enneagram and EMDR therapy. As Andrew says, Wes has forgotten more about the Enneagram than we will ever remember - so if you were looking for a good resource, this is it! Wes is also the owner and main coach with Enneagram Chattanooga - which serves individuals, couples, and businesses looking for ways to utilize the Enneagram for growth and change. We hope you enjoy the episode as we explore the history of the Enneagram, types, ways to type yourself, and our personal experiences with the Enneagram.

For those of you who do not know Dr. Logue, you are in for a real treat with this episode. She is a clinical psychologist with a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Tennessee Knoxville and is currently practicing with L+C Psychological Services in Florence KY. In today's episode we will be covering female empowerment - and more specifically how societal pressures weigh on and influence female roles in society. Chrissy, as I refer to her during the episode, was a professor for both Andrew and I in grad school - and she was my mentor and clinical supervisor during my post-grad practice. She has been a great friend and I owe much of the beginning of my clinical career to her incredible mentorship. Seriously, she is one of the most caring and competent people I have ever come across, and her thoughts are incredibly enlightening. Enjoy the episode!
