Most people in a relationship don’t understand what it takes to build a sustainable long-term healthy one. As chiropractors, it is our responsibility to be aware of who we are and how we enter into a relationship with everybody than just being unconscious about it, and getting consumed by a quick fix of happiness, which is what the whole world is doing.

On this episode, we are here with Brandi MacDonald to talk about the most significant challenges in a relationship, whether that is in an intimate relationship, in your team relationship or your practice member relationship.
