– Dealing with a partner that is fearing positive changes in your life.
– Open communication is key when we decide to change our lives and our partner isn’t there yet. Don’t tell them what you’re doing, don’t ridicule them for not making the same changes, try to positively motivate them to take the journey with you.Screen Shot 2014-11-24 at 11.59.51 AM
