Welcome back to another Q&A episode!

Today we have another batch of listener questions from our fabulous Patreon community! This episode covers a wide range of topics; the questions we’ll be answering today are:

• “How do you rebuild a friendship with an ex after a long period of no contact?”

• “What was your process of self-discovery like, especially as it relates to learning where your boundaries are? Did you do this independently or inside of a relationship? How does it continue to grow and change in your current relationships?”

• “When there are needs being unmet in a relationship and your partner promises to do XYZ differently, how do you come up with a timeline to give them space to implement the agreed-upon action points versus just constantly being promised they’ll do better without real follow-through?”

• “How can I let go of previous relationship trauma so that it doesn't taint the future of the relationship? My relationship with my partner is fantastic, but previous transgressions feel hard to shake, despite efforts at forgiveness.”

• “What are some of the best ways for ‘veterans’ to give ‘newbies’ advice? Friends, family, lovers… sometimes you know there will be some resistance, sometimes none at all. Plus, so many choices are very personal. Understanding informed consent is something I always try to lean into.”

• “How do you manage feelings of comparison when you’re going through a hard time with a partner whilst they are having a great time with other partners?”

Give the episode a listen to hear our different perspectives and anecdotes for these topics, and if you want your own question answered, please consider becoming one of our Patreon supporters!
