Episode 224: It's More Nuanced Than Good Guy vs. Bad Guy Dec 19, 2022

The rarest of JBU episodes, in which Sam and Sierra give relatively direct advice to three people with dating questions. This week we’re tackling questions like: "What should I do when I think I’m falling in love but know I shouldn’t?" "How do I move on from making a mess out of dating my best friend?" "Why does dating suck so bad? And how do I make it suck less?"

Episode 222: Just Because It Looks Easy Doesn’t Mean It Is Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

Is it normal to not be “sure” about your relationship? Do you actually know what your partner wants or are you making assumptions? Should you really be jealous of your partner’s friends or could you be grateful they’re surrounded by love? Sometimes, we might benefit from taking another look at the narratives we’ve accepted.

Episode 221: A Tall Order from an Imperfect Person Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

Humans are more than just lessons—but they can be that, too. Here are lessons you might learn: breakups can be graduations, a child will always change the dynamic of a relationship but you decide how you respond to that change, a bandaid will never heal our wounds just like reassurance won’t quiet our anxiety monsters, and you WILL miss out on something with every choice you make, but you’ll gain something different, hopefully better for you, too.
