It sucks. After my first relationship, I became very passionate about being able to talk deeply with a partner. I want to help other couples continue learning and growing together through meaningful conversation. 


In Talks for Two, I curate interesting topics about relationships and self-development, then I create digestible episodes for couples to listen to and discuss. Learning alongside someone is a powerful way to strengthen your connection, so I provide listeners with a starting point by sharing my opinions on these topics, and I ask lots of deep questions at the end to easily kickstart a discussion. I truly hope this podcast helps you and your partner have amazing conversations.
