41. Navigating Relationships By Trusting Your Instincts



If you’ve ever been in a relationship, you know how outside influences can do more harm than good at any given time. Even when your gut is telling you the answer, those outside factors can get you to second guess yourself. The truth is, you just have to trust yourself sometimes and go with your intuition. In this episode, Jon and Alex answer listener questions about a proposal that’s not a surprise, setting financial boundaries with your parents, sleeping with your sister’s ex husband, your boyfriend’s suspicious relationship with your stepmom, and figuring out how to say goodbye to your soulmate.

40. The Consequences Of Your Choices



Turning points in relationships are often a result of the impact your choices have on you and your partner. Oftentimes we focus too much on who’s right and who’s wrong instead of looking at what’s in the best interest of the relationship itself. In this episode, Alex and Jon take on listener questions about a marriage of conflicting personalities, whether or not a ring means someone is ready to propose, a twin sister talking to her sister ex, the struggles of a family business, and how all bridesmaids are not created equal.
