What Does a Healthy Relationship Look Like with Aleksandra Zubek
What makes a good relationship? Is it healthy when a couple communicates with each other? There are so many reasons why relationships fail, but what can we do to make it work? For a good relationship to work, both people must work on it and learn to compromise. Both are essential for the success of a healthy relationship. But what else can we do to keep our relationships healthy and happy?
In this episode, we would like to introduce you to Aleksandra Zubek. Aleks is a Licensed professional counselor based out of Chicago. She has a vast knowledge of human psychology, so we took this time to learn more about relationship dynamics. Today, we will explore what a healthy relationship looks like, how to improve communication, and why some people always seem to find a toxic partner.
