#10 - How Screwing Up Can Actually Improve Your Relationship

Welcome back to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple, Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. This episode talks about how screw-ups are somehow vital to the success of a relationship. Committing mistakes takes a toll on any relationship, often leading to sleepless nights, existential angst, and overwhelming feelings of deficiency. But it doesn’t have to be that way; the key is to take responsibility for your mistakes, reflect honestly on why you made that mistake, and figure out how you can do better—​​together.
