Paul reflects on the conversations that stayed with him most - the moments, lessons and advice that genuinely changed how he shows up in his relationships.

This is a reflective, emotional and practical conversation about love, conflict, fatherhood and connection - and how small shifts can make a big difference in the year ahead.
