0:00.0	What's going on guys, thanks so much for watching, see you in the next video, bye!
0:28.0	What's going on guys, thanks so much for tuning in to today's show, where I have a very
0:34.4	interesting and valuable conversation with Dr. Jessica Higgins, and she holds two graduate
0:40.5	degrees in psychology, two coaching certifications, and has over 20 years of experience,
0:46.6	helping clients achieve successful results with an integrative and comprehensive blend of psychology
0:53.1	and coaching all in one. And she is also the host of her own podcast, the Empowered Relationship
0:59.9	Podcast, where she helps you turn relationship challenges into opportunities and sets you up for
1:05.6	relationship success, satisfaction, and intimacy. And if you listen to today's show, hopefully
1:12.3	we'll set you up for all those things. But we're dealing with a pretty negative and tough topic,
1:18.0	and that is dealing with criticism. So whether you feel like maybe you're overly critical,
1:25.1	which oftentimes maybe that type of person that's overly critical doesn't have much self-awareness,
1:31.2	but good for you if you're identifying with that, or if you feel criticized by your partner,
1:37.0	and how to navigate criticism, how to talk to your partner that you feel criticized, how to process
1:43.4	your own feelings around criticism. If you're someone who's criticizing, or even if you're not,
1:50.1	understanding where criticism comes from, what that communication is really about, and so much more.
1:58.0	So I really enjoyed today's conversation, and I wanted to point out I use a lot of personal
2:03.9	examples that we talk about, and I want to be clear that that is not my relationship with Sarah.
2:11.1	Not that Sarah and I didn't have our issues, certainly there was criticism involved,
2:16.0	probably mostly on my end, unfortunately, but I just want to be clear that the examples I give
2:25.2	are from another relationship, not trying to throw anyone under the bus, that relationship,
2:29.8	but just I think that's important to kind of communicate for you guys. So as always, thank you
2:37.0	so much for tuning in, telling your friends and family about the show, we really appreciate it.
