In this conversation on the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast, I interview Nancy Perpall, critical care nurse turned attorney and now author and relationship expert talks to us about the challenges and dynamics of modern relationships.
Nancy practiced divorce law for more than three decades and has incredible insights into marriage, relationships and the breakdown of unions. She has managed to help salvage marriages.
And sadly she says many unions are a conversation away from a reconciliation or salvaging, but far too often and too quickly modern day couples are too apt to throw in the towel.
Nancy shares her personal journey from being a nurse to becoming an attorney and eventually focusing on helping couples navigate their marriages.
She discusses the shift in values and expectations in relationships over the years, emphasizing the importance of open communication and understanding core wounds.
Nancy provides practical guidance for individuals looking for a partner or already in a relationship, highlighting the need for premarital counseling and discussing important topics such as finances and parenting.
She also explores the possibility of reconciliation and the importance of self-reflection and personal growth in maintaining a healthy relationship.
Nancy is the author of 'Around Which All Things Bend'
