Cheating Isn't Black and White feat. Esther Perel

We are re-releasing one of our most beloved and impactful interviews with the iconic Esther Perel, with a fresh intro (plus never before seen footage for the video version).

The renowned psychotherapist and author joins us to talk about relationships, sexuality, and infidelity. We cover cheating in depth, including why it occurs, why it hurts so badly, how to trust again, and whether relationships can come back from infidelity. And we're also discussing the expectations we put on our partners nowadays, why they may not be realistic, and how to navigate this for a healthy relationship. Enjoy!
