S12E9: Make Dating Fun Again

S112E11: Dating Post-Pandemic Part 1

As you swipe through profiles with vax cards, we can feel the end starting to near. But how have we all changed from the last year? Join us as we chat with our community hosts Shieldy, Jason, Gisela, Brian, and Caitlin about their experiences dating in the pandemic and how they are emerging from it all. We discuss becoming so comfortable with ourselves that we attract the right partner, not feeling as alone even if you’re single, and embracing an open-minded attitude that truly makes you dateable.

S12E10: Is Marriage the Be All End All?

We have been told that marriage is the end game...maybe...but also maybe not. We're hearing from our guest Alice about exiting her marriage and never being happier – finding herself and rediscovering her sex life. We discuss when it's time to stop trying to make a relationship work, why being on your own can be so empowering, and how to define your own rules when it comes to co-parenting and running your life.

Turns out the patriarchy isn't just harmful to women but also to freakin' men as we learn from talking to Joseph about his experience not fitting into 'bro culture' yet still falling victim to masculine values that ultimately hurt his relationships.
