Relatable Relationships: Recent Episodes
Madelyn Hallowell
Life should be about building relationships, but...sometimes that’s not always easy. This podcast is a place of openness, vulnerability, reality, and encouragement because relationships are hard and take a lot of work to be healthy, fulfilling and lifelong. That’s why I wanted to open a space that talks about the things a lot of couples or individuals may struggle with and yet don’t know how to talk about or maybe don’t even have someone to talk to! Here we discuss hardships, common misconceptions or questions, and even just general dating and life advice! Jump into these podcasts and learn a little about us and a little about you!

The way someone views love is often subject to change.

In this episode I discuss my view of love and some key points to takeaway.

Problems arise in every single relationship, whether you've been together for 3 months or 30 years. The key is learning how to work through them - because if you don't they can cause huge problems!

We did it! and I love you all the more for it! Don't you want that feeling for your relationship? It is SO worth it.
