How to Consciously End a Relationship in a Healthy Way with Katherine Woodward Thomas

Fact about me: I love deeply.

Doesn’t matter if you’re my friend, my girlfriend, my family, my mentor – I just love relationships.

So I take it hard when a good relationship comes to an end.

Can you relate?

It’s been something I’ve been working on understanding for a long time (especially how to healthily end a relationship) so when I heard about a new book on this topic, I was very interested.

Luckily enough, I got the author of the book, Conscious Uncoupling, on The School of Greatness and I learned A LOT.

Katherine Woodward Thomas is not only a licensed marriage therapist and best-selling author, but she also has personal experience to back up her ideas about the best ways to find an incredible partner and also end a relationship that is no longer working.

I asked her a lot of questions and we got to dive into some topics that we all deal with – but rarely talk about.

I know you’ll get huge value out of this conversation in Episode 231 with Katherine Woodward Thomas.
