Fika for Life

One of the most common problems within relationships is miscommunication. It is not uncommon that people experience the same event in two different ways. In today's episode Linh and Edward attack this subject with their usual brand of humour and life-experience, as they demonstrate how couples can apply mirroring to their arsenal of solution oriented tools, geared to help them thrive together. 

In this episode Edward and Linh along with guest Mikael give advice to a real problem that Linh encountered at day care. What seemed like a normal relationship problem quickly turned out to be something else when it was revealed that that the mother-in-law butted in and caused the relationship to end.

Real-life story is when one of our listeners, or people from our network of contacts, asks Edward or Linh to give advice about an actual problem that they are currently facing. As always Linh and Edward share their insights from their shared experiences with, of course, a bit of humor as well.
