Episode notes

Ceard's new book is out on the 4th of february and can be pre-ordered now. Ceard: Boundaries are a simple way to show your partner you're there for them, but don't take their emotions as your own. The setting of boundaries actually gives you more information about your relationship than the actual problem did - so how some one responds to a boundary gives you information too.

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Michelle Elman, who is a life coach and author. Michelle discusses her new book The Joy of Being Selfish, and boundaries - setting them, communicating them and respecting them. She and Hannah talk about “empowered dating”, and the assumption that meeting someone IRL is better than through an dating app. Finally, Hannah and Michelle discuss the TV show Normal People, and how virginity is a scam.

Apologies that my audio in this episode is slightly distorted - not sure what happened to my microphone for this one! But hope you enjoy the conversation nonetheless.
