A gentle heads-up: This episode touches on pregnancy loss and fertility struggles. We know these topics can be deeply personal and difficult, so please listen with care.

A cancer diagnosis can change every part of your life, including your relationships. What happens when you're diagnosed with oral tongue cancer just three weeks after your wedding, and the trauma of treatment changes who you are and how you show up for the person you love? In this episode, David shares his experience navigating cancer, the lasting impact on his mental health, and the breakdown of his marriage. We talk about advocating for your health, the challenges of recovering from trauma, and what happens when two people are struggling in different ways.

Plus, David opens up about rebuilding his life after divorce, dating again, and how his experience has changed his perspective on love and marriage. We discuss how to support someone going through a major illness, why showing up in specific ways matters, and the importance of giving both patients and caregivers grace. Through it all, David shares why he still believes in love and what it means to have someone who will help you stay afloat when life gets hard.

This week, we're letting a random question generator take the wheel, and let's just say things get a little personal. We're talking about whether alone time is essential in a healthy relationship, who would survive longer if we switched lives for a week, and the little things we do that drive each other absolutely crazy. We also get into some of the bigger conversations we've been having as we get closer to becoming parents, including what we're nervous might change in our marriage, how we'll navigate parenting responsibilities, and why communicating expectations matters so much.

What if the way we experience dating and relationships has less to do with the other person and more to do with the state we’re in when we experience them? Dr. Sue Morter joins Seeing Other People to talk about how our internal state, nervous system, and relationship with ourselves can shape the way we communicate, make decisions, respond to triggers, and connect with other people. We talk about what happens when we’re operating from fear, anxiety, or the need to be chosen, and how becoming more grounded in ourselves can change the way we show up in relationships.

Dr. Sue walks us through practical grounding techniques, including deep belly breathing, posture, and Mula Bandha, and explains how practicing these tools can help us get out of our heads and become more present in our bodies. We also talk about breaking patterns, changing the way we respond to difficult relationship dynamics, knowing when to stay or leave, and why the question might not be “How do I find the right person?” but “How do I become the right person for me?”
