That's the problem. We're forgetting what it's like to hold somebody's hand and care for that human being aside from what group of patients they belong to and what kind of research field they fit into.

Life is all about relationships. Lovers, family, body, or money.

How satisfied you are can be completely explained by how you relate to things around you.

This is Sophie Jaffe and together with my husband, Dr. D. Jaffe, we are here to explore and teach you how to maximize your relationships and achieve a happier life.

Let's get ignited.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to this episode of the Ignited Relationships podcast.

I'm Adjafi.

And I'm Sophie Jaffe.

And we have a special guest with us here today and it's you so it's true I have not popped in here for several months and I'm so happy to be

back I'm so happy to sit beside you a D and really just share a little bit of where I've

been over the last few months. This is not a super long you and I solo podcast episode, but I

definitely want to just say hi to all of you. I've missed you. It was really nice to interview our

guests today and really just nice to connect on the podcast

with you, A D, and feel this energy again.

I really want to just share with all of you how profound this experience has been taking

space, even though I love so many aspects of what I do, really the lesson in taking

this time off from the podcast has been that I don't have to quit something. And just because I

love it doesn't mean that I have to overdo it or not take care of myself and my self-care and the minute that I begin to

move on the spectrum to a place of feeling burnt out or frustrated or overwhelmed or not being

as present to something, that doesn't mean that that thing is bad. It doesn't mean that I don't love podcasting, for example.

But it means that I need to take some space and redirect my energy

and figure out what the right fit is for me in this space.
