EP 028: Letting love in and transforming yourself through relationships with Max Kuntscher

August 7, 2023 Laura Herde

‘Do I need to be fully healed before I can get into a relationship with my dream partner?’‘How can I navigate my triggers and wounds in a relationship when they come up?’

I get questions like these in my DMs on an almost weekly basis, sooooo… I finally invited my partner onto the pod to chat with me about all of this and more! In this episode, Max - my partner of 3 years - and I sit down to discuss our entire relationship journey. From meeting each other when we were both in very ‘interesting’ places in our lives, to moving across the world with each other and starting a life together - we do NOT hold back in this episode on all of the highs and lows we have experienced.

Max and I discuss…

>> Our love story as told by Max ;)

>> How we both evolved in the past 3 years

>> What both of our relationship triggers are + how we navigate them

>> How we navigate obstacles that almost broke us

>> The different relationship phases we go through

>> Answering YOUR juicy relationship Qs!
