In this video, my fiancé Doctor B and I tackle a super common relationship struggle: actually hearing each other. We share some of the ways we’ve misinterpreted each other's words and intentions (yes, even us!) and what we’ve learned about listening—both literally and figuratively. With some real-life examples and practical tips, we’ll show you how to ensure both people feel heard, making it easier to handle conflicts and stay connected​.
