We don't know about you, but we could use a big ol' break from all the politics. So it's the perfect timing to introduce the concept of compersion (i.e our wholehearted participation in the happiness of others) as we chat with Dr. Marie Thouin, an expert in the topic. We're discussing how compersion can operate in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, why jealousy and possessiveness don't have to be the conditioned response, and ways you can invite more joy into your dating life. Plus, we give updates on our trips to Italy + Mexico City in an extended intro.

To learn more about Dr Marie Thouin follow her @drnariethouin and visit her website whatiscompersion.com and order her book 'What is Compersion?' today!

We're so afraid of settling yet we settle for....situationships? We're chatting today about the difference of being picky and having standards – from the characteristics of the person we're dating to how they treat us.

What if there were benefits of underthinking in dating and relationships? Yup, you heard us right. Julie's sharing a low light from her trip to Italy and how the anxiety and overthinking started to creep in related to her relationship. And also how overthinking has caused issues in the past and why thinking a little less can actually be of greater service to us all. Don't worry, we're never advocating for not thinking dating and relationships through; but more about how we don't get in our own ways.
