044: Fights, relationship check-ins & making it work long distance with Matt Cama & Kelley Bode
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to have my amazing boyfriend back on the show for this episode. We recently got back to Bali after a 3-month trip in the US where he came to see where I’m from and meet my family for the first time (!!) after a period of being apart. We’re sitting down to talk about everything from what we did while long-distance to keep the connection alive between us, Matt’s experience in the US for the first time and meeting ALL of my family (jet lag included), living together for the first time in conditions neither we or our relationship have been used to, what we fight about, and all the way down to discovering each other’s annoying habits. We’re even breaking down our most recent conflict and what we would do differently if we were to live that experience again. Share, subscribe, & rate the podcast if you loved it! WHAT ELSE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT: ✹ Sleeping in separate bedrooms and what that means for each of us. ✹ Conflict and exactly how we define fighting in our relationship (and what we do whenever emotional conversations need to happen). ✹ Communicating what you want AND letting go of those expectations in relationships in order to get more of your needs met more often and avoid unnecessary fights. ✹ Build up of resentment and what happens when you don’t simply communicate your desires. ✹ The difference between masculine and feminine in the way that the feminine typically wants more intimacy and the masculine typically wants more space - and that this is actually such a good thing, and the key to polarity… and all of that fire! ✹ Our relationship check ins: what are they, and why do we do them (this is something many people have asked us about - workshop incoming!) ✹ The physical side effects of not speaking your truth.
