Hey girlfriends! Today we're discussing hard dating conversations. Inspired from our last episode, Life After Divorce and What I Wish I Knew Before I Got Married, we're talking about conversations we think should be had at the different phases of a romantic relationship, why we think certain topics are critical to discuss sooner rather than later and ways to initiate dialogue on touchy subjects. 

Why do people not initiate or avoid certain conversations in the early dating phase? 

What topic would be a deal breaker for you if you can't align in the dating phase?

Do you have the expectation that your partner should initiate certain conversations or are you willing to do it?

Are women typically transparent about their pregnancy experiences?

How did the pandemic affect your new mom experience? 

What do you wish you knew about pregnancy before you conceived?
