What should come first in your relationships?
Your relationship should come first. And so many times it's your coworkers and your children and your friends, everybody else gets the best of you. And then your partner gets what's left. No, it should be the other way around. Let's remember when you get into a relationship, you're also bringing in all your past hurts, all your past experiences. You can make your relationship everything you always wanted it to be. It's vulnerability, communication. It's all the things we talk about. It's grit.

Heather, I'm so glad to be here with you. You're so awesome.
Oh my gosh. Right back at you. I'm so excited. So, all right. I want to jump right into this guys. I have never talked about this on the podcast before. So this is going to be straight out of my comfort zone. That's why I needed Catherine to be here with me. So I very rarely talk about my personal life. I very rarely am excited about my personal life because frankly, I don't meet a lot of great guys. However, I I was set up by an incredible person on a blind date and I was more nervous and caring about this date than ever that I ever remember in my life. And Catherine was holding my hand through the whole process and helping me get so ready. And Catherine, the difference that you made for me and helped setting me up for success and that date up for success was something so powerful. I wanted to share it with my listeners.
Yeah. I'm glad it was, it was meant to be. I mean, we just happened to talk at that right time and I'm like, Heather, have you read my book?
Oh my gosh. And guys, so many people will say that to me. Oh, you should just read this book, read this book. This literally, I dropped everything and went and read Relationship Brit immediately. It's such an easy read. I read it in, I think it was two hours, right? It's not hard to read. The format, number one, is super cool. And by the way, this episode right now is for anyone that maybe you're going on a first date. Maybe you're in a relationship. Maybe you've been married for 50 years, Catherine, because I know you shared with me an older woman that really got some massive wisdom that shifted her relationship. This is for anyone that's in any type of romantic relationship, correct? But hold on.
It's not just for that.
I did my best relationship work when I wasn't in a relationship. So read the book and it'll help you in your next relationship. It'll help you, you know, do some of the things that you should have done or not do some things that you were doing. So no, I honestly, it's for anyone. It really is. Yeah. In a relationship or not. I think it's, it's important.
