Awaken to Love
Formerly the Rewilding Love podcast. Transformative coaches Angus and Rohini Ross have worked with hundreds of couples and created the Awaken to Love podcast because they believe there is too much suffering in relationships. Too many good relationships fall apart because couples give up, thinking their relationship problems can't be solved. Many couples don't know how to navigate low moods, conflict, and emotional reactivity. In season one of the Awaken to Love podcast, Rohini and Angus help a couple face different kinds of relationship issues: from divorce papers on the table to rediscovering trust and intimacy to reigniting the spark.
