Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen

Episode 448: Relationship series: Difficult Conversations, Intimacy, and Healing with Dr. Akua Boateng


Listen Later

In week two of our relationship theme, Dr. Akua Boateng joins me for a conversation about healing from breakups, overcoming co-dependency, and creating intimacy with a partner, beyond the bedroom. She also gives a 3-minute masterclass on navigating difficult conversations with a partner. When I say our conversation was enlightening, that’s an understatement.

  • Dr. Boateng offers her advice for having open and hard conversations with a partner (4:19)
  • On and off again relationships: why do people stay in them? (12:29)
  • The best way to navigate healing from a breakup (23:51)
  • Overcoming and healing from codependency (27:40)
  • The different ways to create intimacy in relationships (31:35)
