In this episode... we have for the FIRST TIME EVER my boyfriend of 10 years, Seena Ghetmiri!  We chat about OUR story as well as:  Navigating through conflict resolution Supporting those you love through transitions Using self-awareness to improve relationships Proactively syncing & planning schedules together I’ve gotta say I am pretty dang PUMPED about today’s guest, because we have my very favorite person, the MVP of my life, my boyfriend of over TEN YEARS, Seena Ghetmiri. Seena is a dentist in San Diego who is the cool, calm, collected force behind my crazy. He is articulate, well-spoken, funny, smart, humble gracious & kind and during this episode we talk about significant others support - especially during transitions in life - we talk about conflict resolution and of course give you some tips & tangible takeaways that we think will be helpful for you, regardless of your relationship status. We break down how we map out our schedules & have really learned how to communicate with each other based not only on our own self-awareness, but our awareness of each others needs. I may be a tad biased BUT, I really think you will LOVE this episode, and I can’t wait to hear what you think! “You’re in a relationship with another person, you're gonna have disagreements, & different opinions on things, but it’s just about consistently building those skills to handle it more effectively.”   PUMP-UP JAM: Dirt Off Your Shoulder by Jay-Z   Quotes: “What it really came down to is understanding what your motivation is, what your driver is, what gives you fulfillment, and this wasn’t it.” “It’s the underlying issue. It’s really learning, how can we find that out together without having to tear each other apart.” “Just acknowledging that, I’m trying to understand but I just don’t get it at this point, how can we find a way for you to maybe explain it better or explain it differently so that I can really understand why you’re upset.” “It’s just showing effort that I am trying to understand, but I just don’t yet & that’s okay.”   Resources: Connect with Seena on Instagram: @seenag Check out ALL my favorite things on Amazon (trampolines, books, & more!)
