We’re talking about talking! In this episode, we dive into the consequences of not expressing your needs and concerns to maintain peace in a relationship. Are you suppressing your emotions for the sake of being a 'low-maintenance' partner? But trying to be the “cool” girlfriend/boyfriend can lead to a loss of trust, intimacy, and the eventual breakdown of an otherwise good relationship. We share more of our favorite tips to navigate those uncomfortable conversations, and what can happen when you hold your tongue instead of speaking up.
