It's true, this all started from a video E saw on TikTok. What does it mean to have a "soft life"? And what connection does that have for lesbian relationships? This added layer of consideration that comes when you are born AFAB and raised in what a girl/woman should be and act like translates into a different experience in most lesbian dynamics.E talks about her perspective in dating men in the past and how that relates to dating women, and Li offers their perspective on this topic from only having dated women and what it is like to date a woman who has only ever dated men before. What would you need from your relationships to help you have a soft life? Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show?

Welcome back to another episode! Today is all about what we learned we need to be aware of in being an AFAB (assigned female at birth) couple in this world - whether it be a challenge or superpower of this particular dynamic. Sharing from both of our personal experiences and also as a couple, what is different about this type of relationship compared to others? What are the conversations that we have had to have with other AFAB partners as we navigate this heteronormative world? And what is absolutely amazing about being an AFAB couple?All this and more!

New name, who dis? But, truly, welcome to the first episode with our new name!We are starting off with a bang with this episode that we have some opinions about...weaponizing boundaries in relationships. Is it actually a boundary or are you putting a rule on someone? This is something that is so common when we start to weave in the language of personal and relational development into our everyday conversations. The terms lose their meanings or get warped and then the person on the receiving end feels a bit trapped in the experience. What is your experience in this realm? We would love to hear it! Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show? Please rate and review! And share it with as many friends as you think would benefit!

Ready to get a bit of a crash course into an exercise that we run coaching clients through when things are feeling "unfair" in relationships? What happens when you know what you want in your relationship, but for whatever reason, it just is not happening in the way or timeframe that you want it to be? What happens if you are seeing your partner as the block to getting what you want? This is something that comes up A LOT in any relationship, especially in poly dynamics where you are needing to take more people into account, in terms of needs and wants. We use the very common example of one partner wanting to open up at a quicker pace than the other partner and what to consider, especially when there is already a new potential partner in the picture. Want some practical tips to help you deal with this type of experience? Then, this is the episode for you!P.S.

Maybe the answer seems obvious, but then why do we still avoid difficult conversations like the plague? We break down the importance of difficult conversations when it comes to deepening connection and understanding with whoever you are in that conversation with, be it a partner, parent, coworker, neighbor, etc. This is all about knowing your "why" so that you have that as your guide when it gets really difficult, as well as giving you some practical tips to use as a way of navigating these tough spaces, even using a very recent example from our own experience.
