Today’s conversation touches on workplace green and red flags. Michelle and Amber have both worked in a variety of spaces and have experienced both toxic cultures, and healthy, thriving work cultures-just like you. Have a listen and then head on over to Spotify to leave us a voice note with your quick story of either the best or worst place you’ve worked at. We’d love to share it on another episode and our IG!

In episode 4, Michelle and Amber discuss navigating seemingly trivial changes individuals make to themselves or their lifestyle when in a serious relationship. We evolve, naturally as humans. What if you don't like the direction your spouse is heading? New hair, new body, new hobbies or even a new religion....does it make sense to have deal breakers and non-negotiables related to these possibilities?  Have a listen and then drop some feedback on our socials or leave us a voice note

In episode 3, Amber and Michelle take a dive into the shallow waters (for now) of ethical non-monogamy. Not only is this hard to spell, it's a topic that's hard to cover in just one episode. Have a listen to this chat, then head on over to our Instagram to let us know your thoughts. We really want to dig in more in the near future and would love to know if you've read any of the materials, or have experience in enm and want to give some insight into this. Like, share, comment  and review wherever possible (on Spotify). Leave us a voice note and we might feature it on our IG!
