The truth is there are secrets to having a healthy marriage even if one of you is super ambitious and one of you isn't -- or if you're butting heads. And it's ALL in communication.

WARNING: This episode may trigger some. We brought on one of our favorite people ever, and past guest of the show, Angie Lee of the Angie Lee Show. You might know her. Angie has a global brand and following on her Instagram and Podcast. Recently, she underwent a serious explant surgery to remove her 10-year old implants she got when she was just under 20 years old. In this episode she gets real and raw about her story and journey to self-love and the removal of her implants, something she identified with for a decade. We have met very few who are as brave and transparent as Angie Lee. We brought her on because we believe there's an underlying story here that needs to be talked about... and that's one about self-love and positive body image. If you're someone with implants, we want to stress that we aren't sharing this episode to attack you. This is simply a story from an honest perspective and we hope you receive it with the love that we intended to share it with.
