Hello, couples, and welcome to the Empowered Couples podcast where you get non-boring relationship

advice so you can get the relationship skills to be the best communicators you've ever been and

fight smarter. I am one of your hosts, Aaron Freeman. And I'm Jocelyn Freeman, but you can just call

us the Freeman's. Welcome to this episode. We are really excited today to jump into emotional triggers. And this honestly

And we are going to have submissions from the community just like this where we post on Instagram or Facebook.

And people like you actually can submit what you want us to talk about, what you want us to go into,
