Esther Perel: couples therapist, rule breaker (encore)
Hi friends, we’re taking a break from normal recording to bring you a beautiful bridge season. It’s a mix of some of our webinars and live conversations that we've had at the Small Giants Academy. Esther Perel has transformed many of our lives and relationships through her intimate and insightful books and podcast. Her work has changed the way we think about love, connection and sex. In this conversation, Esther and I get into the nuances of modern relationships, and explore how they are more complex today than ever before. The lessons she imparts are as relevant today as ever.
