Beyond the Bump

This episode is a chat with Nahum Kozac, senior psychologist & relationship counsellor at Lighthouse Relationships. We have an incredible chat on techniques to maintain and improve your communication, something that we know 99% of parents struggle with! Nahum takes us through the Four Horsemen of communication and how to avoid these pitfalls and the importance of men naming and being open with their feelings. This is a cracker of an episode and we thank Nahum for his time!
