I am so excited that you're joining me today as we get into this first episode! I'm Amber Hawley, your host and licensed marriage and family therapist. I have been working with therapy clients for the last 12 years and I own a group practice in silicon valley where I specialize in couples.

 So a little bit more about me. I have been with my husband for 21 years  and I have three beautiful children under the age of eight. So basically I completely understand what it means to be stretched thin and, and why sometimes we need to get creative in how we make our relationship a priority.

In the podcast we will talk about communication, connection, having more fulfilling sex lives, infidelity, disconnection after having children, trauma, infertility, and how to make the choices to support the life and relationships you want.

So you might be asking yourself what is a high achieving couple? What I'm seeing in my practice is that one or both of the people own their own business or they are a startup or corporate executive or they are people who have really high demand jobs.

What I want people to take away from the podcast is how can we make each other feel like a priority in our relationship without sacrificing the dreams we have for ourself, our business or our careers.
