Welcome to another episode of our late-night podcast for insomniacs. Sara runs on empty, and Anna's cat auditions for a part in Star Wars as she recovers. In this episode, we dive into the complexities of maintaining relationships, the art of asking the right questions, and how to handle disagreements healthily. We also touch on the delicate topic of going through a separation after a long-term relationship while still cohabitating. Join us as we explore practical advice and share personal anecdotes to help you navigate these challenging situations.

How does conflict show up for you in your relationship? Are you avoiding conflict, and is this happening anyway?

Till next time!
