In this episode, Kate is joined by Coach and Author Ali Mortimer to discuss navigating difficult moments in relationships and how finding joy can help in this journey.

About the episode:

Kate and Ali begin the episode by looking at Ali’s separation story, where she talks about how her relationship was taken to the brink following her husband’s infidelity and how they were able to repair their relationship following Ali’s journey of self-discovery and their joint relationship work.

Ali then dives into the idea of 'finding joy' and how it is created on the foundations of holistic health and peace of mind, something Kate and Ali explore in navigating rocky patches in relationships.

They also look at the idea that although Ali is still married to her husband, they both identify with being in their second marriage, having grieved the loss of their first.

This is a fantastic episode for listeners in any stage of a relationship, whether you’re looking for tools to create a healthy, happy relationship or whether you want to understand if you’re relationship is past the point of repair.
