Lighted Pathways' 2010 Fabulous February's Relationship Enhancement Teleseminar Series

Audios and Transcripts

I'm Jenny Olin, LCSW, couples counselor and educator, and director of Lighted Pathways. I have a passion for helping couples in trouble. In February 2010 I interviewed a number of experts who gave great ideas and specific advice on how couples can avoid or solve some of their most common problems:

  • How to deal with money and trust issues
  • The surprising influence sleep (or lack of sleep) can have on the health of your relationship
  • How couples can deal with drug and alcohol issues effectively so that it doesn't destroy their relationship or each other
  • How couples can learn to communicate better and solve problems sucessfully
  • And much, much more . . .
    • Some information in these interviews will shock you; will touch you; will help you, and will move you to action.

    I have put an audio sample on each so you can get a sense of the conversation and the value that is there for you.
