“For a successful relationship, you’ve got to be proud of the person that your partner is, and you’ve got to be their biggest cheerleader.” – Dr. Ish Major
Intro
I am so excited to share this conversation about building epic love with my pal, psychiatrist and relationship expert Dr. Ish Major.
We met at the Real Love Ready Relationship Summit in Vancouver only to realize we were both heading to LA after to the set of Nick Cannon’s Counsel Culture.
We talk about how Dr. Ish’s interest in psychology came to be and how his childhood experiences impacted him, and then the conversation turns to codependency in relationships.
Dr. ish says he was a “card carrying captain of team codependence” for the first 40 years of his life, which I think a lot of us can relate to! He shares the lessons he learned and he offers so much wisdom in really simple, accessible terms. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Highlights:
- 3:15 The origin of Counsel Culture, a show sharing an honest, non-toxic male point of view
- 5:30 How young men have responded to the show
