Deep dives
Deciding which weddings to attend
When deciding which weddings to attend, consider factors such as the cost, location, your relationship with the couple, and the availability of a plus one. It may be helpful to balance the effort, time, and money required with how much you think you will enjoy the wedding. If you are not close with the couple and don't know many other attendees, it may be easier to decline the invitation. However, if you have the opportunity to make an adventure out of it, such as bringing a plus one and turning it into a fun weekend trip, it could be worth considering attending even if you don't particularly enjoy weddings.
Tips for Saying No to Unwanted Advances at Work
In the podcast episode, the speaker stresses the importance of directly and assertively saying no to unwanted advances in the workplace. They explain that it doesn't have to imply that the person did something wrong or be a personal attack. Examples of direct no responses are provided, such as stating that personal matters should be kept separate from work or expressing the importance of maintaining professional boundaries. The speaker encourages listeners to be their own advocate and protect themselves, using hypothetical situations as a guide to stand up against inappropriate behavior.
Maintaining a Healthy Sex Life in Stressful Times
The podcast episode delves into the challenges of maintaining a healthy sex life during times of stress and mild depression. The speaker suggests that rather than focusing on quantity, couples should prioritize emotional intimacy and connection. They recommend having open and vulnerable conversations about the challenges experienced, sharing feelings, and expressing love for each other. Building emotional closeness can lead to a more fulfilling sex life. The podcast also advises against pressuring oneself to meet societal expectations and emphasizes the importance of allowing sexual intimacy to naturally evolve within a relationship.
