Ep 52. Navigating a Long Distance Relati...

Jeremy Tusia & Ilan Volchek
About this episode
Deciding to embark on a long-distance relationship isn’t for the faint hearted. Many shy away from the idea explaining that it's a recipe for relationship disaster. However, for others the idea of a long-distance relationship is merely a hurdle that can build longer lasting trust, connection and love. 

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they interview their good mate Felix who shares his experience of doing a long-distance relationship whilst studying in Japan. Expect to learn how to communicate effectively with your significant other when you are geographically dislocated, why you should only do a long-distance relationship with someone you see a long-term future with, and the importance of building an independent secondary to your relationship. 

We hope you enjoy!
