  • navigating long distance relationships (with Kelsey & Becky)
    Jul 16 2025

    In this episode, we dive deep into the highs and lows of long-distance relationships. We’re joined by Kelsey and Becky, a couple who fell in love 5,000 miles apart after matching on Hinge — and yes, there was a ghosting plot twist 👀

    From navigating a transatlantic relationship (UK to LA) to their first in-person meeting, we unpack how they’re making long-distance love work. We talk conflict resolution, healthy communication in long-distance relationships, building trust across time zones, and the realities no one warns you about.

    Whether you're in a long-distance relationship, thinking about starting one, or just love a good modern-day love story, this episode is full of honest insights, relationship advice, and a real look at what it takes to stay connected when you're worlds apart.
