Usually,  I am the host of this podcast, but this episode is about thoughts I have had as we start 2020. Instead of interviewing a guest, I am offering my thoughts and perspectives, on life, the way we are in the world,  as well as in our relationships. CONTENT The things I will be talking about are whether you have made New Year Resolutions, and what happens if you don’t keep to them? Unrealistic expectations  we put on ourselves and on our partners and relationships, The effect of social media and advertising on our sense of satisfaction Comparison is damaging I ask - What is perfection? I also suggest that it’s more helpful to focus on the positives that our partner brings to our relationship, rather than the negatives.
