Episode 233: Their “I’m Fine” Is Not Your “I’m Fine” Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

It’s okay to want to be with someone who has more to say. But it’s more important to figure out what their silence triggers in you. If your anxiety monster will allow it, imagine what it would feel like to believe your partner when they say “I’m fine.”

Episode 232: Sex Could Be This Good THIS WHOLE TIME?! Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

Can you believe sexuality is more complicated than checking a box?! It’s physical, nebulous, and doesn’t need to be confirmed or denied by your partnerships. Whether you stay in a safe, loving relationship with a man, end your marriage to pursue passionate sex with a woman, or explore an in-between that works for you, you don’t need immediate clarity—or a label.

Episode 231: Thankfully, Your Other Wells Have Water Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

Parents aren’t some little nuggets to be unearthed. For the healthiest relationship with them, the trick is setting reasonable expectations and boundaries that are more sustainable than trying to change them, and learning to give yourself the thing you desperately wish they’d give you (easier said than done, we know).

Episode 230: Being Alone > Feeling Alone in a Relationship Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

Yes, breakups are a mindf*** on every single level. But just because your ex is having a reaction you can’t see doesn’t mean your relationship wasn’t important. It means you don’t have access to each other anymore, but you do have teammates you can turn to. (And if all else fails, you can always call upon The Block, or its trusted sidekick, The Mute.)

Episode 229: Don’t Get Confused by the False Romance of Longing Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

Sorry, but we can’t have kinky sexual liberation without honest conversation and self-reflection. Remember to: define the specific yeses and nos of your relationship (polyamorous or otherwise), tend to your wound instead of telling yourself not to be hurt, and set the boundaries you need, even if that’s loving someone from afar.

Episode 227: Give Yourself Permission to Leave Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes, you need to be the one to give yourself permission--permission to say no to a good love because it’s not right for you; permission to prioritize the relationship with yourself over someone else; permission to not sleep with that married man even though you really want to.
