Scott speaks with Esther Perel, psychotherapist and bestselling author, about the state of modern relationships – at home and at work. They discuss how remote work and technology are fueling a “social atrophy,” why friendship and intimacy are in decline, and how connection is becoming a competitive edge for companies. Esther also shares insights on shifting gender roles, parenting, and what it takes to build real resilience in our relationships today.
