the relationship advice that will change how you love ft. Dr. Tara

We spend so much time thinking about how to find the right person—but not nearly enough time learning how to build a relationship that actually lasts. This week, I'm joined by relationship psychologist and sex expert Dr. Tara, PhD to unpack what happy couples do differently, the biggest mistakes that slowly erode relationships, and why lasting love has far less to do with chemistry than most people think. We also talk about why dating feels so hard right now, how to keep the spark alive in long-term relationships, emotional safety, shame around sex, and the habits that create deeper intimacy over time. In this episode, we cover: why modern dating feels so difficult the biggest mistakes couples make (& how to fix it) what happy, healthy couples do differently how to build a relationship that lasts why couples lose the spark (& tangible ways to get it back) emotional safety (what even is it?) and lasting intimacy how shame affects our relationships and sex lives the difference between chemistry and compatibility practical ways to create healthier, stronger relationships As always, take whatever you need and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. Thank you so much to Quince for sponsoring today's episode! I'm obsessed, we know. Elevate your summer wardrobe at quince.com/unwineding.
