Episode 41: Stuck in Relationship Inertia
Manage episode 430388232 series 3521658
Today's episode was inspired by The New York Times Guest Essay by Hillary Kelly titled “Welcome to Stucktopia.” The essay opens by discussing some popular TV shows, such as Fallout, Severance, and Silo, and how these shows capture the way life feels right now, which is that we are stuck. We read through the essay and apply this idea of being "stuck" to relationships. If you've ever felt stuck in a relationship, this episode is for you.
