Description

This week, Lexi and Ally discuss the fundamental question “What is the key to understanding the self, improving communication, and having healthy relationships?” We explore emotional intelligence, one method you can use to strengthen this skill, and discuss barriers to accessibility for implementing this across society.

FYI - Ally has since left the show and Lexi is the sole host.
