Well, hello and welcome to the Empowered Couples podcast. You're going to be hanging out with just me,

Jocelyn Freeman, today. If you've been an OG listener, you know that every other week we take turns

than you really mean or it does come off as an attack or a complaint, right? And then again,

creates this whole cascade of a disagreement that you didn't want to create. Now, before I go

into those two questions, it is so important that you all go register for the two free

web classes that we're doing next week, which is May 18th and 20th. We're only doing them one
