Why we need curiosity in relationships

March 02, 2022 03:20 - 51 minutes - 47.2 MB

Curiosity deepens connection and creates a space for interest instead of judgement.

There are so many things we wished we knew when we were younger in relationships.

Exclusivity is a conversation, not a given when, dating

November 10, 2021 02:00 - 47 minutes - 43.3 MB

While we were recording our last podcast "social media and relationships", the topic on exclusivity and dating took about 60 mins of our time, because my cohosts and I could not agree on what it means to be exclusive when dating. Take a listen to our discussion.  Exclusivity is a conversation that must be had in the early stages of dating, and not just assumed because you have been intimate with one other. It is interesting how many of us take these beliefs for granted.
