At the beginning of a new relationship, the honeymoon bubble is exactly where it’s easiest to miss the signs that matter most in determining long-term compatibility. In this conscious relationship podcast episode, Georgianna and Steph dig into patterns worth watching in real time, and how the same words — “flexible,” “loyal,” “reasonable” — can mean completely different things to different people. All things only time and getting specific with someone will reveal.

And for every discovery you make about each other, are you willing and able to embrace it — or at least accept it honestly — in your shared life together?

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
✓ Why attraction and compatibility aren’t the same thing
✓ The patterns worth noticing early: the barista, apologies, broken plans, how they talk about their ex
✓ How words mean different things to different people, and why that’s important
✓ The price of admission, and how to know if you can pay it without resentment
✓ How to feel the difference in your body between a genuine yes and all the other kinds of yesses
✓ Why the thing you love about someone now may be the thing that grates on you later
✓ A playful self-knowledge practice you can do with your underwear
