To commemorate the 300th episode of the Empowered Relationship Podcast here's a special episode for you all!

Since the premiere episode in 2015, our goal has been to help people feel more prepared and, as a result, set their relationships up for success by encouraging them to invest in the strength of their connection rather than second-guessing their partner choice.

Learn how couples can shift into safer, more positive, and more connected patterns of relating as she discusses key findings out of a landmark relationship science study that was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which was first-authored by Samantha Joel.

Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website.
