This episode dives into relationship health, understanding men and creating an extraordinary relationship with your partner.

Alison Armstrong is a sought after speaker, author and thought-leader amongst people with the desire to live empowered lives. Her exploration of human behaviour began in 1991, with her decision to study men. She initially started to figure out how she was bringing out the worst in them. I am so excited to share this episode and her wisdom with you so you can improve your relationship health today.
