"We need to talk."

Ever heard those fateful words and knew with dread the end of a relationship was looming? Breakups are sticky, challenging times, both for the breaker-upper and the broken-up-with.

Maybe you're tempted to overprocess the end of your relationship? Or complain and "vent" about your ex-partner? Or put yourself through anguish by holding onto the question, "what if"? Or maybe you excelled at breakups! But...probably not. They suck.

Join Tim and Bella as they chat about how to break up well (including very useful tips for how to cope with life when all you want to do is cry).

If love were an ice cream flavour, it wouldn't be just "cotton candy" or "cookies n' cream". There's some "rocky road" ice cream on the winding path of love and relationships.

What can you do when the road gets rocky, and conflict is inevitable?

• Do you take the ostrich approach and stick your head in the ground?
• Do you get big, or do you get small?
• Do you schedule time for difficult conversations? Is that even possible?!

Tim and Bella answer these questions and more as they chat about how to fight well while dating.

In this episode, Tim and Bella look at their own relationship as a case study, asking the question, "What's been working?" Together, they unpack the steps they've taken that have contributed to flourishing in thier relationship. Steps that, if followed, do not promise success, but certainly give you a nudge along the way!

If you've ever wanted clarity without pretending life is simple, press play.
