Relationship Escalator w/ Nicole Pacent - Ep. 186

Are you riding the relationship escalator? Maybe you are and don't even know it! Actor, Writer, Podcaster, and Educator Nicole Pacent (Coming Out with Lauren and Nicole) joins us to talk about how we consciously, and subconsciously, model our relationships based on the escalator model. How does media and society shape our thinking around what makes a successful relationship? Why aren't monogamous couples communicating the terms of their relationships like many polyamorous couples? What is the goal in any relationship? We explore these questions and many more on this thoughtful episode about love, happiness, and dying alone. Plus, Melody reveals the new competitive sport she's taken up, while Carolyn embraces her inner hippie. Finally, we end on a question from a listener who has found her "person," even though that person perhaps doesn't want to be found.
