2022 was a bitch. honestly. here are my seven big lessons from the year. they were tough to learn, but hey, we're here in 2023, so that's got to count for something. xoxo

Vulnerability can be used as a manipulation tactic. Not always. Maybe not even often. But sometimes. In this episode, I explore my relationship with vulnerability over the years with the help of one of @enfold.ing 's excellent videos. (Side note: A new start to the podcast eps! I didn't realize Anchor's Ambassador Ads stop once you reach a certain number of views, so each ep from here on out will sound a little different than what you heard before.)

The problem with hookup culture isn't casual sex. It's mismanaged or miscommunicated expectations. In this episode, I outline four opportunities for the disappointment that I notice in the dating world today.

What is the role of jealousy in a relationship, if at all? What can insecurities in relationships tell you about yourself? In this episode, I talk with my friend, Mads, about non-traditional relationships, polyamory, and learning about yourself through the way you engage with others.

Rejection hurts. It's really shitty. In this episode, I talk about how I deal with rejection, a mindset shift, and an exercise I use to get over someone.

What are boundaries? When do I set them? How do I set them? In this episode, I explore the topic of boundaries, how they apply to my life, and give some tricks to setting a healthy boundary every time.
