The Loneliness Epidemic May 22, 2023

Show notes

On May 1st of this year the surgeon general issued an advisory on our nation’s loneliness epidemic. In it, he states that the mortality impact of being socially disconnected is similar to that caused by smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. AKA… this is a big deal and we need to do something about it STAT. So, this week this is what we are talking about. Kat shares some of the shocking revelations from the advisory and shares some of her personal struggles with developing meaningful connection due to distractions like social media. Even if you are not someone who personally struggles with loneliness, this crisis of disconnection is finding its way to impact all of our lives… and not in a good way. This episode is a You Need Therapy community call to band together and work on small changes that can make a huge impact. If you want to share your ideas send them to Kat and she will share on a future episode: kathryn@youneedtherapypodcast.com

Is Living With Your Partner Before You Get Married Bad? with Patrick Van Buren May 01, 2023

Show notes

Research tell us that living together before marriage increases the probability of a couple getting divorced by 50%. Yea, you read that correctly... you are MORE likely to get divorced if you live with you partner before you get married. So, does that mean you shouldn't do it? Kat isn't quite convinced that that should be the main takeaway from this information...

This week, Kat dives into cohabitation before marriage... Should couples do it? And wait- what if someone doesn't want to get married ever- are they allowed to live with their partners?

Apparently millennials are getting married later in life and realizing that life isn't just about creating the nuclear family we grew up watching on tv. . . so how is this effecting divorce rates? You'll hear about this PLUS Kat and her fiancé, Patrick Van Buren, talk about how their views on living with a partner before marriage have shifted throughout both their lives.
