Summary
We talk about what we've loved, from sharing a joint purpose, to finding out more about each other (and sneaking off for lovely recording weekends!)
We talk about what we’ve learned, including our fear of letting each other down, what our different metrics of success can teach us, and how to keep the relationship at the heart of everything we do.
And we talk about how to do it if you want to give it a try yourselves - with boundaries, clear communication and tons of mutual respect.
Whether it’s co-parenting or partnering in a business, working with a loved one can be so rewarding and we’re here to share our top tips for making it a success.

| 0:42.7 | Terrell and I'm a psychotherapist. In my private practice I talk to clients about the challenges |
| 0:47.3 | they face in daily life and we work together in a non-judgmental supportive space to increase their |
