With a special guest Cassie, the theme of this episode revolves around beginning and maintaining a relationship; fast-moving relationships, sticking at it, the death of first love (and holding a candle). Cassie discusses navigating Social media within your relationship and the constant comparisons and the struggle to feel secure in relationship.
We also touch on finding relationships face-to-face vs social media, online judging and how dating has changed; monogamy and the legacy of one night stands. Cassie talks briefly about growing-up with social media and questions ‘to post?’ or ‘not to post’? (are some things too important to post?).
The episode rounds-off with a discussion around five communication keys for a healthy relationship;
- Be sensitive,
- Be honest (and understand what honesty means to your partner),
- Create safety,
- See and acknowledge your partner’s perspective and
- Understand that all your words have meaning to your partner (even if you don’t mean it).
