Today's Takeaway with Florine Mark


Dec 7, 2020

With Actress, producer and celebrity wife, Jane Hajduk.

Often when we’re in a relationship, especially if our partner is very successful, we can lose our own identity. How can we be fully supportive of others in our relationships unless we first value ourselves? Florine’s guest today is the talented actress and producer, Jane Hajduk, who is married to comedy legend and actor, Tim Allen. Jane knows the importance of being true to herself and achieving her own individual goals even while her husband is in the public spotlight.

Today’s Takeaway: The number of couples suddenly divorcing due to the pandemic has skyrocketed. It’s more important than ever to build strong relationships. Sometimes if the family dynamic is unfairly tilted in favor of one spouse’s needs over the other, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself. The foundation for any healthy relationship comes from first loving and valuing yourself before we can show love to a partner, a friend, a family member, and or even the world. What can you do today to begin building a healthier relationship? Communication is key. One of the first steps we can take in maintaining our own identity and self-esteem is making sure we feel heard. You need to know when to put your needs first. Jane says it’s important to speak up and let others know when “you’re in a funk” or just need some personal space and don’t forget to be grateful for everything you do have today. I’m Florine Mark and that’s “Today’s Takeaway.”
