Welcome to Everyday Better’s 2025 Reset Series! We’re kicking off the year with a month’s worth of powerful conversations designed to help you reset for the year ahead.
In this week’s episode, Leah sits down with Dr. Alexandra Solomon, a renowned couples psychologist, podcast host and professor. In their conversation, Dr. Alexandra breaks down the fundamentals of a thriving relationship and explains why, as a couples therapist, she’s most interested in the intersection between work and partnership.
“Relationship stress travels with us to work, and work stress travels with us into our homes,” says Dr. Alexandra. “If I'm struggling in my relationship, it's going to compromise my productivity. And if I feel burned out, unappreciated, misunderstood, overwhelmed at work, it's going to come home and there's going to be fallout in my relationship.”
Each week on Everyday Better, we offer you research-backed techniques for improving your mental, physical, work and relational well-being.
