She tried something unconventional on her first date: a psychology theory from the 60s. 12 years of marriage later, she told me exactly what she did.

Tune in to my conversation with Sandy Gerber and learn:

• How Sandy turned a "spectacular failure" into a mission to decode communication.
• What the four emotional magnets are and how they drive every conversation you have.
• How to identify your own dominant emotional magnet.
• Why your emotional magnets can shift depending on the season of life you're in.
• How to craft messages that actually connect by speaking to someone's emotional magnet instead of their behavior.
• What the 16 communication blockers are and why "identifying" with someone's story can actually break connection.
• Why labeling people by behavior ("you're a workaholic," "you're controlling") kills empathy — and what to say instead
• How Sandy used the emotional magnets on her first date with her now-husband, and how the same tool can reveal if your relationship is drifting.
