In this week’s chit-chat episode, we dive into the Balance Wheel of Relationships—a powerful tool to help couples assess their relationship and intentionally improve communication, connection, and overall harmony. We discuss how to identify areas that need growth, the importance of investing in your relationship, and how small, intentional efforts can create lasting change.

Blair shares his sunburn struggles and a weekend of adventure, while Amy reflects on solo parenting for a few days. We also discuss why investing in your relationship is just as crucial as investing in your career and how to make relationship check-ins fun and engaging. Plus, we introduce a free worksheet that will help you and your partner evaluate and strengthen your relationship in key areas.
