Love Unscripted | Fix It or Forget It

Is your relationship more "Fix It" or "Forget It?" Well, Tim and LeeAnna are back to help you navigate the emotional minefield of love, with a heavy dose of snark and some seriously practical advice. Whether you’re a writer looking to add some depth to your fictional couples or just a human who’s had one too many “whataboutism” blow-ups, this episode is for you! We’re talking “bids for connection” – the little gestures (like saying “Did you see that cute dog?”) that could make or break your relationship - and “repair attempts” – the sometimes clumsy, awkward ways we try to save a fight before it escalates into the full-on "I’m sleeping on the couch" territory. Don’t miss Tim’s dark warning (he does love a little chaos) or LeeAnna’s more realistic take on the emotional rollercoaster. From cheesy jokes to strategic silences, we’ve got everything you need to write real, messy, and totally human relationships. Tune in to hear how bids and repairing can actually work... or fail miserably. Either way, it’s real, it’s raw, and it’s definitely not perfect. And don’t forget – fixing it is way more interesting than pretending it’s all fine.

This episode is technically sponsored by the fine folks who crafted LeeAnna’s cheeseburger - the one she brought into the studio like it was the most important thing in the world, breaking podcast tradition and definitely making some people hungry. (It’s also sponsored by her profound disregard for a protein focused diet - she's eating the meat, but can’t miss out on half the bun because, hey, that's where the mustard is!)
