In this week's real talk ep I am joined by my fiancé Marty (back by popular demand) for an honest conversation about what it has taken us to build and maintain a strong partnership. As we plan our wedding and navigate building a life together, we're reflecting on the rituals, routines, and yes, the rogue habits that shape our relationship. We dive into the small, intentional practices that keep us connected amidst busy schedules and competing priorities to how we check in when life gets hectic. But we're also getting real about the less glamorous stuff: the habits we're still working on, the patterns we've had to unlearn, and the moments where maintaining connection feels more like effort than ease.

Whether you're in a relationship, navigating dating, or simply curious about the psychology of partnership, this episode offers practical insights on creating relationship rituals that actually stick, communicating through life transitions, and finding the balance between growing together and maintaining your individual identities.

ps. sorry about the audio change mid-way, perks of recording outside I guess ;)
