Episode 57 “Talking After the Play: How Couples Reconnect”

The aftermath episode. Flea and Cecy talk about the conversation couples have after a play date: on the ride home, at the hotel, or back at the house, just the two of them. Covered in this one: why transparency comes first, and why it is less about what you did and more about how you felt. Setting expectations going in, and why things rarely go exactly as planned. The check-in, a touch or a "hey baby, I see you," so your partner never feels forgotten in the room. Their code word for stepping away to regroup instead of leaving the party angry. How much detail to share, and why you go easy on your partner's ego when you are new. A real story about a cuddle that caused a problem, and how one conversation changed what Flea does on the break. Why men and women come into play differently. And the reconnect: making sure you come back together as a unit. As they put it, a talk must be had afterward. It may feel awkward, but it is part of a healthy journey as a couple. *Get the full conference at hiddengemstv.com* Hidden Gems Lifestyle is a nonprofit dedicated to honest education, safety and community.
