Ever find yourself nodding along to your partner’s promises, only to be met with inaction? Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with your hosts and real-life couple Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In today’s episode, they discuss that the delicate dance between promises and actions can be the linchpin for harmony or the seed of discontent in relationships. As partners strive for equality within their domestic realms, a chasm often emerges between what is said and what is done. This friction, born out of unmet expectations and the uneven distribution of household tasks, is a familiar battleground for couples navigating the terrain of love and life.
