Hello and Goodbye

SURPRISE! It's H&G's second bonus episode and Leanna and Jared are coming in hot with updates, stories and a listener question in which every dater can relate. Leanna talks in specifics about her break from the podcast, break from dating, and her exciting, upcoming adventure. Jared talks about his recent dating experiences and one experience in particular that explores the financial side of dating and how different experiences and expectations can either get in the way or become a dealbreaker. Platonic cuddling, solo-traveling hot tips and of course, poop talk all make an appearance at some point.

Are you needing to move past codependency? Leanna and Jared welcome healer and hypnotist, Sasha Tozzi, to unpack the reality of recovering from addiction and codependency. Sasha talks about her journey through her own addiction struggles and how she found herself, which led to her creating the business that she has now in order to help other women who have similar struggles. She talks about her sobriety, what codependency looks like in relationships, love addiction, eating disorders and other ways in which we run from ourselves. Sasha also talks about how she discovered hypnotherapy, how she uses it with her clients and breaks down the stigmas that come along the practice of hypnotherapy. The three then have a conversation about their views on God and the universe, which leads to Sasha pulling a card for each, Leanna and Jared. And of course, Leanna and Jared check in as they discuss show recommendations, Jared's current work and dating status and Leanna's current relationship status.

Bring an open mind (pun intended) to this fascinating conversation as Leanna and Jared welcome, special guest, Erin, to tell her story of growing up religious, experiencing sexual trauma, finding her sexuality, finding her voice and eventually finding herself in the world of polyamory. Erin discusses details of three different relationships, each with different characteristics, including love, turned friends with benefits, booty calls and her first relationship with a polyamorous partner. The three then discuss how polyamory actually works, the factors that go into ENM (ethical non-monogamy), how to handle jealousy and the importance of honest and open communication, in both polyamorous and monogamous relationships. Erin's storytelling and vulnerability is heartfelt and mesmerizing and it's a conversation that may actually surprise you. And of course, Leanna and Jared catch up on their lives as Jared discusses a dating update and both reminisce on Leanna's birthday.
