Relationsh!t Podcast

Got some sh!t to say? [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/143143/open_sms] In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into the nuanced ways that external influences—like friends, family, societal norms, and even aspects of queer culture—can shape who we date and how we approach relationships. They explore how these pressures can show up subtly or overtly, from internalized ideals about attractiveness and gender roles to the expectations of chosen or biological families. The conversation also considers the potential harm of letting these outside voices drive personal relationship decisions, especially when they lead to choices that aren’t aligned with one's authentic needs or desires. To wrap things up, they tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience. - Articles: 1.

Got some sh!t to say? [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/143143/open_sms] In this heartfelt and candid conversation, Marko and Steve dive deep into the emotional terrain of relationships where one person is moving faster than the other—whether that means falling in love quicker, being ready for commitment sooner, or simply wanting more clarity and definition early on. They explore the role of communication—how honest conversations can sometimes bring clarity, but also risk ending things when both partners realize they’re not aligned, and the delicate balance between giving things time vs. needing emotional certainty. Ultimately, the episode is a reflective take on how relationships can falter not from lack of care, but from a difference in timing—and how that can be just as painful and real as any other kind of ending. - Articles: 1.

Got some sh!t to say? [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/143143/open_sms] In this real and refreshingly honest episode, Marko and Steve get into the heart of why so many relationships struggle: unrealistic expectations and the lack of clear, consistent communication. They kick things off by calling out the myth of the “perfect partner.” You know, the idea that your partner should just know what you need, never mess up, and always be in sync with your every mood. Then they dive into the fix: communication. Not just the deep, dramatic talks, but the everyday stuff — the little check-ins, the honest “I feel” moments, and the courage to say what you actually need without playing games. To wrap things up, they tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.
