The Remarkable Relationships Show
The Remarkable Relationships Show brings a fresh perspective on all things related to how humans develop their individual brilliance while navigating the excitement, stickiness and resistance in their relationships. Mercy Russell interviews a wide range of relationship experts and ordinary people for their insights and the magic in their stories. We look at problems in mental, emotional and social behavior that seem to plague us to explore how relationships bind us and ultimately free us from our troubles.
