#261 Is TikTok Making Us Over Analyze Our Relationships? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TikTok has given us a whole new vocabulary for talking about relationships—red flags, gaslighting, love bombing, avoidant attachment, narcissism, trauma bonding and more. And while having language to recognize unhealthy relationship patterns can be incredibly valuable, have we started using those labels a little too freely? In this episode, I explore the good and the not-so-good side of social media relationship advice and whether constantly analyzing our partners' behavior is helping us make he
#260 The 777 Relationship Rule: Can It Really Strengthen Your Marriage? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can a little relationship math actually help keep a couple connected? In this episode, I'm talking about the viral 777 Relationship Rule—the idea of intentionally making time for a date every 7 days, a night or getaway together every 7 weeks, and a vacation every 7 months.

So instead of immediately asking women what they're willing to lower, m

Read excerpt
Prenuptial agreements often get a bad reputation, but what if the prenup itself isn't the problem? In this episode, I share why I don't think prenups are inherently good or bad. Instead, I believe the real insight comes from how the conversation unfolds. Are both people willing to negotiate? Is the agreement fair? Does each person feel heard and respected? Sometimes the biggest lesson isn't whether you should sign the prenup, it's whether the way your partner approaches the conversation tells yo
#257 Maybe Closure Isn't a Conversation With Him... It's a Conversation With Yourself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Closure is something so many of us search for after a breakup or divorce. We replay conversations, hope for apologies, or imagine that one final talk will somehow make everything make sense. But what if closure isn't something another person can give you? In this episode, I explore the idea that the most meaningful conversation about your relationship may not happen with your ex at all. Instead, it might be the honest conversation you have with yourself—accepting what happened, acknowledging wha
