We talk all things relationships in this episode. I start by asking what a relationship coach does and how Rockie became one. Our conversation goes into the importance of being clear about what you want and the difference between compatibilities and commonalities.
He talks about what photography taught him in noticing details. Rockie also shares different things he’s observered: from the need for forgiveness in broken relationships, to patterns that he’s seen in couples, to how we’ve lost the art of listening to the impact of COVID in relationships.
This is definitely one of the most enlightening episodes and there’s so much good wisdom about life and relationships from Rockie aka Clarity Coach!
Shoutout to photography mentor, Don MacGregor.
