Is Your Relationship In The Room-Mate Phase?

This Glorious Mess

Life can get hectic—between chores, work, and managing the mental load, it's easy for connection with your partner to slip down the priority list. Before you know it, you might find yourselves in the "roommate phase."

In this episode, we explore the telltale signs of this phase and share tips on how to reconnect. We're also joined by a dad, who brings his own perspective on navigating the roommate dynamic in relationships.

And to wrap things up, we leave you with a song that might just hit you right in the feels.
