About this episode

Hey Lifers,

If you're looking for some travel tips, DO NOT go to Brittany Hockley. 
This one should be a sweet reminder that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is...
Yes, she did recommend a 'points' app a few weeks ago and it would seem like she might need to refresh it!

Then we get into your questions!

  • I’ve been in a relationship and living with my partner for about 3.5years now. When it comes time to have any deeper conversations he consistently shuts down,  whether this be about our relationship or discussing deeper topics of interest like politics, unpacking childhoods, relationships with parents, misogyny, the patriarchy, racism, religion etc. He will always listen and he is happy for me to say what’s on my mind however he never knows how to respond or how to add to the conversation other than to say nothing or make a senseless immature joke. I really struggle in these moments as it makes me feel really alone. Like I am giving a lecture to someone or having a conversation with myself. I don’t know what is the “normal,” amount of “deeper” conversation that most men typically engage in and for how long, or for how often? I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do, or if I am being unreasonable in asking for too much? 
  • Eyes closed or eyes open during sex?
  • My partner will wake up first thing in the morning and check his phone in bed while he’s next to me and reply to work emails and messages he’s missed overnight. Whereas I’m the type of person who likes to wake up and not go on my phone straight away. He will also often talk to me while on his phone and therefore not fully hear what I’m telling him. It really irks me as I like to have more boundaries around technology. I know I can’t and shouldn’t tell him what to do but I’m also struggling on my end because of it. What can I do?

We had a really great conversation with Johann Hari about how we can be so distracted by technology that you can listen to!
