I am sick of carrying the bigger load in my relationship! w/Dr. TracyD Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

Do you feel like you are doing all the work in your relationship? Are you tired of feeling like your partner doesn't care as much as you? How do you get through this? You NEED this episode.
From Tracy:
I'm a Clinical Psychologist, Mom of 2, Wife and Creator of Be Connected.
I knew that I wanted to take what I learned in my clinical practice and bring it to you. I know how hard it is to get help when you need it. Availability of practitioners, time away from family, along with the financial burden of consistent on-going support. I wanted to break these barriers to getting the tools when you need them.

So I got to work growing a community online and sharing my expertise with all of you.

I have a PhD in Clinical Psychologist from the University of Ottawa. I have spent over 15 years in practice working with individuals and couples, and training with renowned relationship experts.
