No one enjoys arguing with a friend, a significant other, a co-worker, etc. But believe it or not, arguments and disagreements come with building a healthy relationship--only if done in a proactive way. Fights often start with the same two words: "You always..."

And who is to say that what we do with our lives is meaningful? In this episode centered around the context of Disney & Pixar’s Soul (2020), we break down the concept of self-actualization and the hierarchy of steps we take to get there a.k.a. Maslow’s Theory.
