Why Connection Really Matters – Episode 215

Do you long to feel more connected to your spouse? Do you wish for more fun and friendship in your marriage? Would you like to understand how you can protect and enhance your connection with your children? Did you know that relationship conflicts and discomfort most often stem from unmet attachment needs?

Saren recently attended a marriage workshop with her husband and found it to be so helpful that she invited Dr. Jeremy Boden  – the therapist who conducted the workshop – to share some key principles on Power of Moms Radio.

In this episode, Jeremy shares some of the key principles of the “new science of love” and helps us learn how we can communicate more effectively, form more secure bonds, and break cycles of behavior that just aren’t working.

About Saren Eyre Loosli

Saren adores her five energetic, adventurous, precocious children but doesn't totally adore the mess and busyness and bickering that that comes with them! She grew up all over the world, got her Bachelor's degree at Wellesley College and did her Masters in Education at Harvard University (these days, the diplomas on her wall mostly serve as visual aids when she's trying to convince her all-too-smart teenagers that she DOES know a thing or two!). She went on to design and implement enrichment programs for kids and training programs for teachers. But it was only after she finally found her Mr. Right, Jared, and had five children in five years, that her education and work experience began in earnest!

When she's not trying to answer five - or six - different needs and questions at once, she works on this website (she's Co-Director and Co-Founder of Power of Moms).

She currently lives in Ogden, Utah and loves reading, hiking, and biking with her family (or by herself when possible!). She often struggles with balance but finds joy in being involved in many things that are meaningful to her.
