Welcome to the podcast!
Sara & Anna are back with a fresh dose of conversation and reflection. From the vibes of city life versus island chill, to what keeps us awake at 4 am, to how advertising quietly shapes our romantic expectations, we’re diving deep this week.
Love Desk:We look at how advertising has shaped our romantic rituals:
Why women began shaving legs and underarms (thanks to a Gillette campaign)
How De Beers convinced the world that diamonds = love
Hallmark’s role in making Valentine’s cards feel mandatory
The hidden pressure of sexual frequency “norms”
All raising the question: how much of what we think is romantic is really just marketing?
Hot Topic: Can men and women ever just be friends?Sara and Anna unpack both sides:
When friendship feels natural versus when boundaries blur
The role of jealousy and trust in how couples navigate opposite-sex friendships
Why “special energy” can be risky if it crosses into intimacy
The importance of keeping your closest bond sacred within your relationship
Where they disagree (yes, it happens!) and what it says about how different couples set boundaries
Listener Question:"I’m a single parent, and the other parent never contributes to gifts like birthdays or Christmas. I suggested we work it out together, but they ignored me. What should I do?"We explore:
Why co-parenting often involves ego clashes and value differences
How gifts link to love languages and what each parent is really trying to express
Ways to reduce conflict for the kids, who often feel caught in the middle
Practical steps for reframing conversations and moving forward
Takeaway:From diamonds to friendships to co-parenting, we’re reminded how much external pressures can shape our relationships.
