12 Week Relationships Podcast

Podcast #67 - This is the first episode I’ve listened to of TWR. I’ve listen to a lot of podcasts on relationship advice/guidance, but this episode blew my mind. Comparing a break up to fighting an addiction gave me so much perspective as I navigate mourning the loss of the love I have for my partner and my journey to my new life without him. I love their chemistry, especially when they role-play. Their sarcasm and humor is definitely my love language!

I stumbled upon The 12 Week Relationship Podcast with Pye Jirsa and Dr. Glenn Hong while searching for clarity about some of the public statements Jordan Peterson had made in regards to gender. Without knowing anything about the hosts, I was pleasantly surprised at their ability to disagree, and still validate each other’s points of view. When it comes to the modern day admiration for people like Jordan Peterson who just “say it like it is,” I do not believe that being fearless of ridicule makes his words worthy of a platform. Equating terms like “LatinX” to “intersectionality” is a false equivalence that serves to signal to like minded listeners that attempts to understand and create words for new ideas is a bogus liberal agenda. This isn’t brave or admirable. I am now curious if a growing number of JP’s followers are similarly infatuated with the way he says things regardless of what he is actually saying. I wouldn’t advise, admiring someone without first understanding the words that are coming out of their mouth.

Stumbled upon the Instagram account today, and I immediately fell down the best rabbit hole of healing in relationships. Sharing with my friends!!

I like the intent of their content but the back and forth side smashing and teasing eachother is annoying. They also often use toilet humor that reminds me of a 12 year old boy .. literally they were going around and around with a burp and fart analogy. Just stick to being professional. You have valuable perspectives but you are ruining your professional brand.
