...Why people do not ask for what they want in bed.  Yes, Dr. Deborah Bice, the relationship and sexuality expert, is back to talk to us about sex!  Far too many people are not asking for what they want in the bedroom, so we go down a list of ten common reasons why that may be.  Dr. Deborah Bice is open to further discuss and can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LifeandLoveByDesign/You can also reach out to me if you have questions or would like a specific topic talked about on an episode, therelatablerelationship@gmail.com

Well, I had so much fun recording Season 1, I decided to come back for a second season!  The first full episode will be out the second week in February.  The goal of this season is to bring topics that are educational and interesting, but also entertaining and humorous.  I will focus on relationships with oneself, as well as unique relationships with others.  So, please subscribe wherever you may listen to your podcasts, and join me, along with my guests, for Season 2 of The Relatable Relationship.

Hey Everyone!  I am ending Season 1 with an episode on distance learning.  Even though a lot of us were dealing with distance learning at the end of the 2019-2020 school year, the start of this school year seems to feel a little different, and I wanted to share mine and my son's experience with you.  I do not know the secret, but I do know that being able to discuss what we are all experiencing, can be very helpful and insightful.  Hang in there, we are all in this together.  And, feel free to reach out to me if you need to talk and share ideas, therelatablerelationship@gmail.com.  I look forward to bringing you more unique relationship stories in 2021, and until then, please take care of yourselves and your loved ones!

This relationship story is unique and caring and has the listeners following their personal journey through twenty-six years of knowing one another. From being together, to having two beautiful girls, to separating, to co-parenting and co-habitating while living in a multi-generational home,  all while leading with love.   Enjoy the episode!

I continue my conversation with the relationship and sexuality expert, Dr. Deborah Bice, in the second part of this episode.  We get to discuss masturbation, internal versus external orgasm, and the meaning behind pleasure dates.  With so much to discuss, and never enough time, I look forward to having her on my show again.  In the meantime, if you would like to link up with Deborah, you can find her at, https://www.facebook.com/LifeAndLoveByDesign/

How important is sex in a relationship?  How do you have a conversation, with your partner, about sex when you are unhappy with it?  What are some of the things you can do to reignite your sex life?  These are just some of the questions I ask while I have a candid discussion about sex with Dr. Deborah Bice, the Relationship and Sexuality Expert. This is Part 1 of a 2 Part Episode.  Enjoy!

Being adopted can bring up many questions, often times, those questions stay unanswered.  However, in this case, Thea gets all of her questions answered, as well as the opportunity to create a relationship with her birth family.  Not every adoption story turns out ideal, but Thea can honestly say that her story has. 

Growing up with completely different upbringings, the start of their relationship began with the thought of no marriage and no kids.  However, a call from a pay phone....(or was it a cordless phone?), began the start of their friendship.  Now, years later, "winging it" has become part of the explanation on navigating through marriage, moving, kids, miscarriages, and this thing we call life.  

A friendship dating back 30 years between four girls.  No drama, no judgement, and not only growing with age, but evolving in to who we are today, making our relationship stronger.  From marriages, kids, divorces, hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail, and planned theme nights, we get to go down memory lane and discuss it all.  True friendships are important, and the ones that are worth having, come effortlessly.

Personal stories about one's life can be powerful, but sometimes it can also be difficult to tell.  In this episode, I get to sit down with a girl I met at George Fox University, just a few years back, and really dive in to her past, present and future.  Uncovering struggles she has encountered, but also talking about how far she has come and the success of her business.For our listeners, this may be considered a trigger episode as we do talk about self harm, including; cutting, burning, prescription abuse, and thoughts of suicide.  If you, or anyone you know, is experiencing this, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

This week I get to share a small portion of being an identical twin, chatting with sisters Hallie and Reya.  They have a special bond that I think other twins can relate to, along with unique experiences that make this such an amazing relationship.  This episode we talk about supporting one another, the future plans of moving apart, and awkward hugs.  Enjoy the episode! 

A 20-year long relationship fueled by love, family, friends, food, travel, and the continued learnings of effective communication.
