Colin also shares the heartache that comes with breaking up with his partner and loosing a daughter. 

Finding the balance between being a great co-dad & being a great partner comes with challenges. If you focus more on being a great dad & always trying to please and be liked, you could lose your focus on being a great partner. To find the balance you should work as a family and as team

Lissy Abrahams is an individual and couple psychotherapist, speaker, and author. She founded and runs the Heath Group Practice, a therapy clinic in Sydney. She has dedicated her career to helping hundreds of clients navigate life’s obstacles and challenges.   

Lissy knows how much we’d all love for the people closest to us to change so we feel safer and more respected. The problem is that this isn’t how relationships work. Change happens when we change. And for change, we need to have awkward conversations, first in our own minds, and then with others in our lives.   But…we need to know how.   It feels so complicated. How do you know how to fix relationships if you don’t know what the real problem is, right?   

That’s where Lissy comes in. 

She’s been called the Queen of Awkward, and she helps move people and their relationships from mediocre to happy.
