Description

Kel and Michelle sit down for a candid and eye-opening conversation with writer Meehika Barua about placeholder partners, why people stay in relationships when their partners show no signs of commitment, when to set the proper dating boundaries and be more selective, and how you can recognize if you’re a placeholder partner or friend to someone else.  Meehika Barua can be reached at @meehikabarua [https://twitter.com/meehikabarua?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor].

Are you dreading middle age and getting older? Dread not! Kel and Michelle sit down with author and researcher Matt Fuchs for an insightful conversation about the classic stereotypes and definitions of midlife crisis, what can cause midlife stressors and ways to manage them, how people's identities may change throughout life, and why the midlife crisis has now become a midlife "climax" and a period of happiness and personal growth.

Reimagining Therapy

Ready to reimagine how you’re approaching therapy? Kel and Michelle sit down with writer and conceptual artist Mark Michaels to discuss the problems with traditional therapy and why people may feel disillusioned, both the benefits and the limitations of alternative approaches like psychedelics and A.I. assisted therapy, and how growing up in the 1970’s New York punk scene influenced his work, life, and therapeutic journey.  In his preprint BINARIES, MULTITUDES, AND BEYOND, available now at markamichaels.com [http://markamichaels.com/], Mark focuses the lens on his own journey and uses narrative analysis and critique to explore how authority, expertise, and healing are currently defined. https://markamichaels.com/ [https://markamichaels.com/] To ask us a question, suggest a topic or be our next on-air guest, email us at  theunrelatingpodcast@gmail.com [theunrelatingpodcast@gmail.com].
