Welcome to another episode of the Me Skills Podcast, where we lean into self-love and great ideas that build a better life.

In today’s episode Kelly & Tish chat about the importance of taking responsibility for our own happiness. Inspired by a TV show called “Couples Therapy,” we explore how unmet needs and insecurities in relationships often stem not from our partners, but from ourselves.

We chat about the importance of self-love and how our expectations can sometimes sabotage our happiness.

(Note: this episode, as usual, contains swearing. 😉)
