    Comparing Notes Pt. 2: Milestones at 6 Months in a New Relationship w/ Ali Jackson
    Sep 12 2025
    In this second installment of Comparing Notes, I sit down with Ali Jackson, host of Finding Mr. Height, to talk about what often comes up around the six-month mark in a relationship. We get into the real stuff: when to start having check-ins, how to tell if someone could be marriage material, and what it means to settle into comfort and routine without losing the spark. We also explore deal breakers, financial conversations, traveling together, navigating family dynamics, and handling your first conflicts. You'll also hear both of our experiences with this milestone! Listen to Comparing Notes Pt 1 - all about the first 3 months of a relationship! Try Quince Bedding!

    194. Ethical Non-Monogamy Explained w/ Claire Perelman
    Sep 9 2025
    Ok, but what does ENM really mean? In this episode, I talk with Claire Perelman, a sex therapist, about what ethical non-monogamy (ENM) actually is (and isn't). We talk about different types of ENM (polyamory, swinging, open relationships, solo poly etc), “ethical” matters (consent, clarity, agreements), and how jealousy, anxiety, and attachment styles show up in real life. Claire shares her path to ENM, why opening a relationship won’t save a broken one, and the difference between adding sexual variety vs. building additional romantic bonds. Claire shares tips on what to ask on first dates to vet for real ENM (vs. cheaters), sexual health norms, pacing to avoid emotional whiplash, and how to decide if this lifestyle fits your values and nervous system.

    193. Are You Ready for a Relationship Or Just Ready to Date?
    Sep 5 2025
    In this episode, I delve into what it truly means to be “ready” to date vs ready for a relationship. There’s a big difference between, and most people confuse the two. I’ll share how to tell if you're ready to date or for a relationship (or both), what true dating readiness looks like, and why you don’t need to have every part of your life perfectly together before putting yourself out there. We’ll also talk about dating while still healing from a breakup, the myth of being “fully healed,” and the mindset shifts that make it easier to date with clarity and confidence. Plus, I’m sharing a practical checklist to help you gauge your own readiness and I answer listener questions about emotional availability and long-term intentions. ⁠⁠Check out Quince bedding!⁠ Episodes mentioned: Casual dating #178 Recovering from a break up #70 How to get closer to someone #189 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF Do I have space in my life for someone? Can I compromise and make decisions w/ someone else in mind? Can I say what I want out loud? When I picture a relationship, do I feel excited or dread? Do I want one because it fits my life right now, or just because I feel lonely or behind? Am I prepared to support someone else's goals, not just focus on myself? Do I know what I need in a partner?
