Why Doesn't My Partner Talk About What is Good Between Us?

Don’t we all just want to hear a little good news, a little “thank you”, or get a high-five once in a while? Why do so many of us focus on what's not working, rather than what is? Rounding out season two, Rebecca, Vickey and Jules discuss one of their most favorite relational skills—cherishing. In this episode, you'll learn how to do it, when to do it (hint: often and in the moment!), and why it's so important for all of the relationships in your life. You'll also learn why it can be very hard for many of us to even notice what's good in our relationships, let alone celebrate what's good. But don't worry, this episode has got tips for how to change that too. This brings us to the end of the season, but we leave you with some cherishing challenges to try. Test one out and watch for shifts big and small.
