Hi friends! It's been a while but, we're back doing the series with my faves, Cruz + T, and we're chatting about dating. Can you believe we're already on Part 5? In this episode, we talk about how our mental health has affected our dating, our needs and wants in a relationship, and our love languages. 

We also chat about issues that arise because of our mental health, advice for dating someone who has a disorder, and things that aren't helpful to your partner. Thank you for your continuous support of the series! Catch us in a couple of weeks for Part 6 talking about psychedelics.

We are not experts but we hope that having these conversations and sharing our own experiences help educate others and help those who are feeling the way we are. Thank you so much to Cruz + T for doing this series with me, for being amazing guests and for sharing their vulnerability and experiences with us. 💛 Support their creative work on Instagram!
