Love Chat with Felicity and Gia

If your partner cheated or was abusive, you'd probably "Bye, boy" him immediately. When we think of the "big" relationship issues, we tend to focus on a few common issues. However, there are relationship land-mines that come in the form of expectations.  And many times, we don't discuss these expectations until we are faced with the fallout. What would you do if your partner expects you to follow strictly traditional gender roles? Or what if he demands that you put his career ahead of yours? In this episode we analyze two specific relationship situations and give our two cents on how these ladies should proceed.

Boundaries aren't the sexiest topic when it comes to our relationships. Yet, without knowing how to effectively use them, your relationships will forever be a source of struggle. Consider these questions... > Do you consistently feel resentful toward someone in your life? > Do you feel taken advantage of at times? > Do you feel powerless dealing with some people? If you answer is yes to any of those questions, you need a boundary checkup PRONTO! Listen to this episode as we discuss the different types of boundaries, WHY so few people have healthy ones, and HOW to successfully speak up for yourself and feel powerFULL and free from resentment for good.

We know that one of the best things about vacation is the romance and hot sex you end up having when you escape regular life. Have you ever thought about WHY the sex is so much better on vacation?

We all know the type: the "LOOK AT ME! ME! ME!" woman who posts a million duckfaced selfies and is constantly looking for attention anywhere she can find it. But not every attention-seeking woman is out to get your man. Yet some are. How do you know the difference between someone who just needs a ton of validation vs. someone who has specifically set out to steal your guy? And more importantly, how do you get them to knock off their over-the-line behavior without seeming jealous, crazy, or insecure? In this episode, we share some surprising stats on the prevalence of mate poachers and give specific tips on how to shut down these annoying women for good...while keeping your relationship happily humming along.
