  • Ep 107: Sacrifice: What are you willing to give up?
    Jan 8 2025

    What does sacrifice mean in the context of relationships and money? And why does it matter? These questions and more will be explored on this episode.

    We’re diving into the concept of sacrifice—not as a burden, but as a powerful way to strengthen your connection with your partner. Sometimes we wonder if we are giving up too much and sometimes it might not be enought.

    Sacrifice isn’t about losing—it’s about choosing. Together, we’ll unpack what it really means to give something up for the greater good and how those choices can pave the way for trust, commitment, and deeper love.
