Join us as we navigate some of relationships toughest conversations 🙈️

We've all found ourselves in these chats- the ones you have NO IDEA how to navigate but are also super important to the longevity of your relationship.

Well today we tackle some reddit stories on just that- those Good Ol' Hard Conversations. Join us as we discuss unmet expectations, the tricky dance of talking about physical appearance and insecurities, and navigating mismatched intimacy drives!

We get real and honest about some of the long lasting tough conversations we have, and most importantly workshop how these conversations, while hard, can be some of the most unifying experiences!

Today we run through Gary Chapman's "The Five Love Languages". You know the ones: words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, physical touch and quality time.

If you're anything like us, you've probably heard them mentioned over the years, and maybe even guessed at what yours might be, but today we take a closer look at the framework and chat through how it has helped us in our relationship. The Five Love Languages are one tool in a list of many that can help open conversation, and strengthen your relationship.

Join us as we dive into some reddit stories all about STONEWALLING.

Stonewalling within relationships is one of the Gottman Institute's 4 Horsemen of Relationships, and refers to the 'refusal to communicate or cooperate' in conversation.

When stonewalling occurs, it can be very difficult to navigate the everyday ups and downs of relationship, so today we explore what might be sitting behind this behaviour, whether it can be misinterpreted and how you might navigate it with your partner as adults in your relationship.

We've all heard that phrase- "To assume makes an donkey out of u and me", right? Or something along those lines, anyway 😉 Why, then, do we so often assume things within our relationships?

Skating along assuming your communicating love to your partner is just not going to cut it! When was the last time you checked in to make sure that what you're giving out is also being received?

Join us for this Chit-Chat through the times we've assumed we've been showing each other love, but have really been missing the mark. We challenge YOU to take an intentional moment this week to check in with your partner and make sure that you're really catering to their love needs.

This week we dive deeper into the world of Mental Load- chatting through stories that might leave a partner feeling ALONE in their own relationship.

This week we have the exciting new opportunity to chat through some Listener Write-ins that have been sent to us!

We also dig deep into what might sit behind some partner's apparent inability to step-up to the task of 'partner' and how we might tackle that as a community.

Do the phrases "Tell me if you need me" or "Let me know if I can help" immediately give you a stress response? Ever find yourself so overwhelmed with invisible tasks that you can't think straight or express what needs to be done? What you're experiencing here is called "Mental Load"- the invisible and cognitive sister of "Work Load".



Imbalanced Mental Load is a concept common to couples, but a phrase unfamiliar to many. We wrestled with tension for years within our relationship before we stumbled across this framework that has transformed the way we navigate responsibility within our household.

This week we explore what "Mental Load" is, how it might be playing out within your relationship and some practical ways in which you can start navigating this imbalance with your partner.
