We talk about the red flags that so many of us overlook, the subtle dynamics of emotional abuse, and how women often juggle work and home life. Dana shares her powerful journey into counseling, giving us practical insights into communication, emotional healing, and how the Gottman method can help couples thrive. Whether you’re in a relationship or working on yourself, this conversation offers real tools for transformation and healing.
