Welcome to Secrets of the Better Halves, the podcast where partners openly explore how they handle the power and the pressure of their dynamic relationships. A podcast where partners are brutally honest, where they talk about ego and competition, and where they also reach their breaking point. When you listen to this podcast, you’ll get honest and sincere conversations - as well as proven tools - that can help turn relationships into mutually supportive partnerships. "I know the deep hunger that people have on how do you make a relationship work," says co-host Debbie Phillips. When you listen to this podcast, you’ll have fresh insight into the power dynamics of relationships, illuminated by couples, partners, and collaborators engaged in high-stakes - and often very public - professions. "I think it's the opportunity to give voice and expression to those who are often in the background, but whose work is really important and invaluable," says co-host Markos Kounalakis. The Secrets of the Better Halves podcast will add value and meaning to your life, by exploring how partners can bring out the best in each other. "The reason we're doing this," says co-host Dan Mulhern, "is because quality relationships, whether at work, or at home, are probably the most important thing for not only our effectiveness, but our satisfaction in life. And nobody taught us how to do it."
