Finding You: with Dr. Brad Reedy

Why don't we do the things we know would bring us closer to the people we love?

Last night's episode: Creating Intimacy. The shift from doing to being, why "just communicate better" doesn't move the needle, and what actually makes closeness possible - with your partner, your kids, your friends.
