Most people in a relationship don't understand what it takes to build a sustainable long-term healthy one. As chiropractors, it is our responsibility to be aware of who we are and how we enter into a relationship with everybody than just being unconscious about it, and getting consumed by a quick fix of happiness, which is what the whole world is doing.
On this episode, we are here with Brandi MacDonald to talk about the most significant challenges in a relationship, whether that is in an intimate relationship, in your team relationship or your practice member relationship.
One of the deep-wired human needs is the connection that happens in relationship with somebody. For that relationship to work well, it is crucial to be healthy, and that means that the brain is working, firing, and viewing the world and others.
