Joining me today is a very special guest, and normally I say that I have a special guest,

but today this person is very special to me personally, and you'll find out why. A little bit further on,

but first let me introduce, let me introduce Vienna Farron. She is a licensed marriage and family

therapist and the founder of mindful marriage and family therapy in New York City. So if you've

ever wanted to have a better relationship, if you've ever wanted to work through

the quote-to-quote stuff of your past and become more aware of who you are at your core,

then this episode is definitely, definitely for you.

So Vienna also runs at Mindful MFT on Instagram where she's got a few hundred thousand

followers and she regularly shares quotes and insights and thoughts about relationships.

She's got a very strong following.

And that's because she gets relationships.

She gets conflict.

We are going to dive into how to bridge the gap between conflict and connection.

We're also going to talk extensively about how your past upbringing often shapes the challenges that you face in relationships,
