Relationships: Stop Settling or Show Up
"Stop settling for mediocrity in your relationships. Either show up and fix it or make a change to pursue excellence." Right out of the gate, Addicted to Betterment’s first episode tackles one of the most important, albeit most difficult, areas of the human experience - relationships. Hosts Nikki Lewallen Gregory and David Gregory discuss what they’ve learned from past relationship failures and how they wouldn’t be here - hosting a podcast together as husband and wife - if they hadn’t experienced those trying times. Listen in as they talk about the importance of having a shared vision, being your authentic selves, and knowing what the future looks like. If you're living a mediocre life in the relationship category, stop it, and do something about it.
