Author Gabriela Embon on a Revolutionizing Relationships with Your Partner 46:02

7 weeks ago46:02

Send us a text Certified coach and author Gabriela Embon believes that a fulfilling adult life hinges on two essential components: an ideal career and a thriving primary relationship. Weeks before her wedding, Gabriela had a vivid dream that changed the course of her life. The man waiting for her at the alter wasn't her fiance, but a friend. Shaken and convinced this was a sign, Gabriela instinctively canceled the wedding, despite having meticulously planned it all. This decision, driven by a profound sense of intuition, was a pivotal moment that guided her towards understanding the true essence of love, partnership and what it takes to become a "Power Couple". Her instinctive decision to end her engagement paved the way for meeting her true soulmate, with whom she has 3 beautiful children and has been happily married 26 years. In the last 2 decades as a coach, Gabriela has dedicated herself to helping couples build fulfilling and enduring relationships. Through the pages of her debut release, "Becoming a Power Couple- 4 Pillars to Engineer Legendary Marriages", Gabriela empowers individuals to embrace the principles of the 4 Pillars and build a union that grows stronger and more fulfilling with each passing day. It debunks the myth that "marriage takes freedom away", and that "passion can't survive in a long-term relationship" and offers a model for achieving blissful liberating unions.
