In episode 50, Julie speaks with relationship coach Natasha Mahtani.

Natasha is a certified Relationship Coach and accredited Divorce Coach.

Coming from a South Asian background and having lived in Liberia, England, Nigeria, Ireland, India, Hong Kong and Taiwan, she understands the cultural nuances within relationships and more specifically, the limiting narratives and beliefs that surface in relationships across many cultures.

Natasha helps women of color, globally, to increase their sense of self-worth, show up for themselves, identify and rewire their limiting beliefs and thrive in all relationships.

We discuss the following:

• Misconceptions of what it take to have a healthy relationship
• Warning signs that a relationship may be heading in an unhealthy direction
• Communication vs comprehension
• Maintaining adventure and novelty and preventing the relationship from becoming stale
• Balancing personal space and togetherness in a relationship
• Social media and the impact on couples
• Supporting each other when facing external pressures and work related challenges
• Importance of forgiveness and how to build trust when trust is breached
