A Word from the Author


"As I have spoken on the topic of relational blind spots over the last twelve years, I've found the issue resonates with women. Most people crave emotional intimacy yet lack understanding about what hinders their closest connections. It was, and still is, so exciting to hear the 'Oh wows!' as women learn how to identify their blind spots, avoid their destructive impact, and enjoy healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Then, I thought, why not write a book about it so more women can benefit."
Georgia Shaffer, author of Avoiding the 12 Relationship Mistakes Women Make
