How to Be a Good Partner

This week on ease, love is in the air this time of year, so we’re diving back into the conversation on love, relationships, and how to become better partners, with the help of Dr. Kate. Our last conversation sparked so many questions, so we invited her back for deeper follow-ups on dating anxiety in the age of apps, emotional attachment and sex, physical vs. mental attraction, trusting again after toxic relationships, and what it really means to find “the one.” We also open the floor to you, our audience, for a special segment featuring real voice memos about long distance love, porn in relationships, first relationships, and learning how to tell if something is truly healthy. This episode is honest, thoughtful, and grounded in research, because love isn’t just something we fall into, it’s something we practice. Enjoy!
