We’re alive 😅 promise.

🧠 What burnout can look like when you love your work

💰 How we’re navigating creative passion when it’s not yet paying the bills

🎙️ Our hopes for 2025 and what’s next for Honey We Need to Chat

☕ Blair’s “Christmas coffee” cameo (proof of life included)

The #1 Predictor of Health: Tiny Repairs That Make Relationships Last (Harvard Happiness Study)

We’re calling out the “funny” partner-bashing that social media rewards and replacing it with real repair.

Backed by the Harvard Happiness Study and other research on wellbeing, we show why relationships are the #1 predictor of health and longevity, more powerful than diet, money, or exercise.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why contempt in relationships is quietly toxic

• How to replace complaints with micro-conversations that rebuild trust

• Why weekly relationship check-ins prevent resentment and keep love alive

• How to strengthen external friendships to combat loneliness and improve health

• Practical couples communication tools you can use today to stop fighting and grow closer

If you want to move from “meh” to meaningful connection, this episode will give you clear next steps.
