Whether you had to think for awhile or you can recall your last time like that, we're chatting with She Comes First author and sex therapist Ian Kerner about the pleasures of sex and how sex can help us bring us closer to our partners (and in light of everything going on, we all need that reminder more than ever!).

We've been told from an early age, there's 'The One' – that person who is our best friend, our soulmate, the person we belong with. But is that even realistic? And how do we know if we are making the right choice? It can be tricky especially if we have had little relationship experience to benchmark it against. Join us for this week's brunch talk as we discuss if 'The One' even exists, signs you are with the right person, and how to distinguish between fear and if this person is actually a good fit for you or notGot a question you need answered?

We think we're self aware, but are we? And why is this so essential for romantic relationships? We're chatting with Dr. Tasha Eurich about why it's so essential while dating (and having long-term relationships) to hone into our awareness of ourselves,others, and the impact we have on one another. We discuss how we're all a little less self aware than we think, the shift from talking about the why to the what, and how relating to ourselves and others just 1% better can dramatically improve our love lives.Learn more about Dr. Tasha Eurich: https://tashaeurich.com/ and take her self awareness quiz: https://www.insight-book.com/QuizFollow us @dateablepodcast.
