In this episode "Daddy" explores a comical notion around relationships. In past episodes you’ve heard me dance and weave around the notion of normative relationships. You know…ones that climb the relationship ladder. Meet, become exclusive, move in, get engaged, etc… Relationships that look like the ones modeled around us as the gold standard. Standards that make it hard to love someone fully and completely and also retain your “you-ness” that made you interesting and attractive in the first pla...

What do you do when your dynamic has become “every day”. The pull of the normative is strong. For those of us who have lived in non-normative relationships for years, and have spent years developing our relationship(s) it can be easy for our brains to fall into a normative mindset. AKA…the new normal. That’s when a lot of “shoulds” and “should nots” creep into our psyche. Take a trip down the bunny hole as Daddy returns to talk about maturing dynamics. What does it mean that a dynamic has mature...
