Relationship Reminders: Recent Episodes
Brie Schmidt
Welcome to Relationship Reminders (formerly Bad Girlfriend Radio)! Host and coach/educator Brie Schmidt walks you through topics on navigating dating troubles, healthy relationship habits, self-love, mental health, and so much more. And each episode focuses on one relationship reminder or self-improvement concept in a quick 10 minutes or less. Listen now to upgrade your relationship with yourself and the people in your life.
Beginnings can't come without endings. And though it feels bittersweet to say, this episode, episode 100, marks the final episode of Relationship Reminders. For now, the podcast is coming to an end, but it's a beginning in many other ways. I'll still be creating content about relationships/self-development (and hopefully more resources, tools, and products in the future!). For now, find me on Instagram (handle below). Thanks for listening as always!
