“Before the pandemic, I was a completely different person.”
— Cecilia
If you’re a couple that’s had a major lifestyle change during the pandemic, this will be a useful episode for you!
This is the second episode of my limited Sandbox Spotlight series, which features interviews with real-life couples talking about their real-life experiences moving through the relationship seasons with total honesty.
If you haven’t listened to my episodes on the relationship seasons, I recommend you check them out first!
In this series, we explore how couples deal with relationship stresses and learn how to communicate more effectively.
My guests for this episode are Cecilia and Joey, who have been together for over 8 years and are raising three children between the ages of four and eight.
Cecilia and Joey were in the Coping season when they first joined Couple’s Sandbox a few months ago. Now, the pair are enjoying the Connected season, and on the verge of Confident.
In this interview, we talk about how the couple have kept their focus on their relationship through major lifestyle changes and overcoming bad habits… and have come out stronger than ever!
