There’s not much in life that’s more important than having happy healthy relationships with our friends, family, and of course, with our romantic partners. On today’s show we look at why some relationships succeed, while others becomes unhealthy, disconnected and sometimes even harmful. As a licensed marriage and family therapist with a private practice in New York, today’s guest: Vienna Pharaon, is working with couples and individuals to help them better understand themselves and their relationships in order to foster healthy, conscious growth. Having much to do with understanding the family systems, as well as the deep and generational history we each hold in our own personal conditioning, her work is about identifying where and how we’re re-creating old patterns, giving us the chance to heal, rewrite, or release them.

Inspiring the masses to take on the challenge of looking inward to change our stories and our relationships for the better, she’s stewarding the ascension of our species, and for that, we can all be grateful.
