Sometimes having sex just isn't in the cards. Maybe your work schedule is cray, you have kids and minimal private time, you aren’t feeling sexy because of an emotional issue or maybe you're just in a rut. Whatever the reason is, it happens to all of us. We can read all of the “getting in the mood” tips out there (in fact we JUST did a show based on that very topic) and while these tips are helpful and relevant you might need to take a different route if you're looking for intimacy.
Our past guest Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick is always keeping it real on the gram and has inspired us with another post about this very subject. We list all the ways you can find intimacy outside of sex, why we think these examples are crucial to a healthy relationship and dive into tips based on what we do and don’t do in our own relationships!

Third time's a charm! We gave you an exclusive interview with Rob on being single and loving it, went for a quick spin around Jen’s fast paced relationship and now it’s Lauren’s turn in the relationship hot seat. For those of you who have been listening from day one, Lauren gave us the behind the scenes from her first date with James, her now husband, on one of the very first It’s Complicated episodes! Now, seven years later, a marriage, a step daughter and two babies later Lauren has a lot to talk about.
We’re excited to close the It’s Complicated circle of interviews with Lauren, who might not have a complicated relationship status but her married life, like most married couples, isn’t without complications. We get serious and ask Lauren her thoughts on dealing with general marital issues, what she thinks about people leaving a marriage as soon as it gets tough and why they should focus on working through their issues instead, and her tips on how to keep things feeling fresh!

If you listen to our pod on the reg-u-lar then you’re likely here because you need relationship advice of some sort. Consider yourself lucky because between the three of us (single, in a relationship and married with kids) we cover all your relationship needs. If we aren’t currently going through a relationship issue or milestone, we most likely already have lived through it AND have interviewed an expert or dissected it on the show.
We recently interviewed Rob, our in-house expert on being single and loving it, but this episode, it’s Jen’s turn in the relationship hotseat! For our loyal listeners, you have all followed along and listened to Jen’s dating dilemmas as she went from a highly annoyed and burned-out-on-swiping single to in a serious relationship, living together and talking about getting engaged in Q3 couple in under a year!
This all sounds quick, we know! Jen is on the fast track to ALL OF THE THINGS and we dive into what was different about this relationship compared to all the other guys that came and went, how you too can navigate through a fast paced relationship without ignoring red flags, and where Jen currently stands on relationships now after being in one for almost a year.

Does one person in your relationship often claim they are just not in the mood? This is a common feeling that can leave the relationship feeling unbalanced and eventually breed frustration, guilt and resentment. Problems like this are very common and they can resurface if you don't find the correct tools to deal with it and make a change!
Well thank god for The ‘Gram and one of our past guests (she also happened to be one of our fave guests too) Dr. Jolene Brighten and her always insightful content. Recently, she posted about sex and what can prevent you from getting in the mood!
We look at our relationship moods past & present, dive into the gas and brake pedal theory is and the imbalance in libido within hetero couples, discuss how to determine your speed, share how to communicate your red and green lights to your partner, and unpack why it’s important to openly communicate about these issues with in your relationship!

Toxic relationships are the new “boy who cried wolf” Are you really in one or are you just throwing around the popular buzzworthy term? It’s probably one of the most overused terms on social media which is why we need to be able to correctly identify it in order to stop it, fix it or leave it behind!
It’s a very common issue that most people experience although most of those people aren’t even aware that they are guilty of the behaviors themselves. Are there any toxic behaviors that we are guilty of ourselves and want to come clean?
To clear things up, we have Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick in to discuss self awareness around toxic behavior, the definitions of common toxic behavior terms and how to identify them, and tips for how to address and correct the behaviors if you and your partner are guilty of being “toxic.”
Follow all things Dr. Frederick:

We discuss the scandal that is rocking the headlines….SCANDOVAL! Some of us have personal connections to the Vanderpump cast, and Kristen, Peter and Ariana have all been guests on this show! We love Vanderpump Rules mostly because it’s massively entertaining and it’s a guilty pleasure but we have to say, the relationships that have developed and crumbled in front of our eyes has to be the most captivating part.
Like the rest of the world, we are glued to the TV trying to figure out what is going on and find hidden clues as this season unfolds. If you are just as confused and equally as intrigued as we are, then listen to this episode because we dissect the Scandoval drama with a timeline of events, our opinions as to why we think all of this is going down, what the cast and other reality TV personalities are saying, our advice for anyone going through betrayal, and our predictions for the end of season 10.

We are each in different phases of the relationship game, and we all have unique expertise when it comes to approaching love in our own specific lane, if we do say so ourselves. Like anything in life, there are ups and downs, positives and negatives and being single is no different. No one enjoys the anxiety and worry about the potential of never finding anyone and ending up alone, but the upside perspective is that there can be so many fun, carefree and independent moments that come along with being single.
Today we are interviewing our very own Rob Evors who is going to chat with us about his current relationship status, what he enjoys most about being single and what he can’t wait to say goodbye to when he finally couples up, what he thinks about finding love while traveling, what he thinks is the most ideal way to find love, and he shares the most valuable lesson he’s learned about being single.

We all know which type we like, or maybe some of us are still trying to figure it out, but do you know which type of dating couple you are? Yeah, it's a thing, and we think it’s up there with knowing which “love language” you speak. This episode we go over the four different types to help you identify the category you fall into in order to know if you need to try dating differently, or if you are on the path to a long lasting relationship. We also determine which we currently fall or previously have fallen into, and why there might need to be a need for a 5th type, because it’s complicated!

We represent a wide range of people in the dating world…single and traveling, in a relationship and taking the next step, and being married with kids. So, find out how this Valentine’s Day looked and felt for all of us now!

What is the problem with dating? We’re on the heels of Valentine’s Day and this question could not be louder in our minds right now. So, why are so many people single? Some think it’s the dating apps that completely changed the landscape of the dating world. Some blame the pandemic. Or is it that the gender roles have been flipped upside down? What we do know is that we are all on this journey together. It takes a village to date. There are loads of posts and tips that truly are useful when attempting to navigate the dating world and we think that one of the most helpful outlets is sharing your stories and experiences to help others, who in turn will help you when the dating waters get rough. That’s why we are excited to have intuitive reader and author of Let That Shit Go, Bruna Nessif back on our show to discuss her new book, The Problem With Dating, how can we fix it, how her intuitive gifts can help guide us through relationship roadblocks, how you can tap into your intuition so you don’t have to tap out on dating, and live love readings with each of us!
