9. Creating Meaningful Visions Together

One of the foundational elements for us as individuals and within our relationship is to take a stand for our mission and vision. In this episode, we explore the long-term goals that we have for our careers and marriage. 

There’s a deep emotional commitment required for making your dreams come true. That drive often directs your action, communication, and mindset. Since we opened the Integrative Psychiatry Institute four years ago, we’ve been focused on scaling in a way that doesn't sacrifice quality. Within our personal lives, our anchor has been the vision for our securely-attached, mission-based partnership. 

But, there are also seasons where you might feel like you’re in a defense mode and simply trying to survive. We discuss some of the tools and questions that have been helpful in getting us back on course and re-connected to a central vision and mission.
