How do we learn how to have good relationships? What makes a relationship good in the first place? Most people don’t set out to find a toxic person to date, but many of us have friends who date people we find insufferable. Dan Epstein (musician, virgo, ENFP) and Justin Waring Crane (therapist, aries, ENFJ) are determined to find out why so many of us struggle romantically. They met at the beginning of the pandemic, and quickly realized they were “that person” in the friend group who everyone turns to for advice, therapist referrals, and an explanation for why that hot ESTP sagittarius ruined your life. Come on a journey with them through their own relationship. Will all of that wisdom and advice that they confidently dole out to others actually lead to a deep and lasting connection?
