About the episode

In this episode,  Margie explained the importance of having romantic relationships and their role in fulfilling needs for intimacy and connection. Also, she discussed that there is a huge overlap between being emotionally available and being mindful. Emotions are a part of the things you need to be mindful of, such as being open, trying to connect with your partner, etc., which are all part of being mindful in a romantic relationship.

Kitty explained that being open and available in a relationship signals commitment. And how emotional availability becomes one of the biggest problems people encounter in their relationships. She reiterated how essential it is to understand each other’s attachment styles and how they affect each other or the implications of what you’re doing to your partner. So that you can take care of vulnerabilities and triggers that may happen in the future.

In conclusion

Your relationship might be one of the most important things in your life. Additionally, having proper communication with your partner fosters a healthy connection. So by practicing good habits, you can build a strong relationship.
