Men’s Health Month is a chance for you to assess the drains on your health that could cause you to live a shorter or more painful life. In today’s episode I talk about an often overlooked aspect of men’s health – Relational Health. This isn’t about just having a social group. It’s about making sure your relationships are uplifting, safe, inspiring and connected!

I want you to be alive and well, healthy and able to connect with your loved ones! Even in the midst of a pandemic, and maybe more importantly in the midst of a pandemic, we can focus on getting healthier. 







Since it’s Men’s Health Month, it’s a great time to assess all aspects of your health.







Have you considered how you’re doing in these domains?







* Physical* Emotional * Social * Spiritual* Intellectual* Financial* Occupational * Environmental







Today’s Man Alive Podcast topic is about what I call Relational Health. It’s an often overlooked aspect of relationships that is a combination of the Social and Emotional categories. It’s not just about making sure you have others to spend time with, but making sure your relationships and interactions are high quality — supportive, honest, inspiring, connected. 







In this solo episode I discussed:







* 3 important foundations of Relational Health* Why people in romantic relationships sometimes feel more alone than when single* How harshness and assumptions kill spark and connection* What has people settle for unsatisfying relationships* Conversations you can have with a partner to create a healthier dynamic







When you’re done with this one, check out another great health episode: How to Change Your Eating Habits AND Become More Productive.  







May you be well and healthy, this month and always.
