Episode 222 - Relationship Real Talk: Ego Checks, Vulnerable Conversations, Financial Strain and Overcoming Insecurities
Allison is joined by her partner of 5+ years, Clay, who recently moved from Omaha to join her in Tulum. We discuss our journey as a couple, sharing insights on our relationship dynamics, personal growth, and the challenges we’ve overcome to deepen our understanding of the other. We reflect on our past, the importance of honest communication, the impact of taking a no-contact break and how we navigated coming back together.
