Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In this episode, they talked about the impact of optimism and pessimism in every relationship. They discuss how these tendencies can sway us to either overcommit or undercommit and the lessons we've gleaned from our experiences. Discover the value of self-awareness in mitigating the downsides of optimism and pessimism and how a better understanding of our tendencies can bolster our communication and trust-building efforts. They explore the power of vulnerability and taking responsibility for our feelings in resolving conflicts. This is a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their relationships and communication skills.
