The Balancing Act with Nedra Glover-Tawwab | Wife of the Party Podcast | #415

Nedra Glover Tawwab, bestselling author of The Balancing Act, joins me for a powerful conversation about connection, communication, and community. We explore the different attachment styles and how understanding them can help us show up more honestly in our relationships. Nedra shares why building community is essential for emotional wellbeing, and how we can create spaces that invite real conversation. I also dive into some of my favorite parts of her book and unpack the insights that resonated with me the most.
