What Destroys Relationships Over Time, with Debra Lieberman

I sit down with Debra Lieberman to explore the deeper psychological patterns that shape our relationships. We unpack why people unknowingly sabotage love, how unconscious behaviors influence attraction, and what drives conflict beneath the surface. Debra brings a sharp, science-backed perspective that challenges conventional thinking about modern relationships. This episode will push you to look at your own patterns with more clarity and honesty.
