There is something undeniably luxurious about crawling under the duvet with a warm bowl of food or a fresh cup of coffee. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday breakfast in bed or a comforting late-night snack after an exhausting day, the bed can feel like the ultimate sanctuary. But as a relationship and wellness coach, I often look at our daily habits through two lenses: how they affect our bodies (and nervous systems), and how they impact our connections with our partners.

As we are so disconnected form each other right now with the use of devices or answering emails and not really clocking off when we should be, a connection at dinner time is falling by the wayside. We’re often eating on the go, or eating at our WFH desk, or even having a TV dinner.
