Over the past 10 ish years, I have had my fair share of relationship and dating experience. As with everything, I got to learn so much about myself, what I need, what I want, where I see myself in the future. And I also got to learn a lot about my needs and wishes in a romantic relationship.

What is really important to me, and in romantic relationships in general? How do you build a healthy partnership? What about roles? What about s3x and intimacy? What does it mean to fight and to argue, and how do you do it right and respectfully?

So many things have come up for me when I was reflecting on my relationship experience, and there is so much I feel is important to share with others. This episode is very personal and was super fun to record. Please note that everything in this episode is based on my experience and on what I feel is healthy. I am not a relationship expert, nor do I want to tell you how to live out your partnership.

What I am going to tell and I am sure about is that you are going to enjoy this episode. Maybe even more than I did recording it!
