Welcome to Episode 2, Season 2 of the Woman Uncaged Podcast! In today's episode we dive into the topic of relationships and are they as much work as we are led to believe?!

Topics and questions we discuss include...

- What if relationships are not meant to be work, but rather the antidote to it?

- Laura's perspective as a former therapist (where many come to work on their relationships)

- Replacing "working" on our relationships with "cultivating" more joyous relationships, and how those two things feel different

- Tending our relationships and how life's seasons may shift what that looks like

- Finding rest in relationships that are working

- Why do women tend to speak about working on relationships more often than men?

- How do we grow nourishing relationships in our lives?

- Getting out of practice at this whole relationship thing during the pandemic!

- Relationships are inconvenient and perhaps they are supposed to be..

- Getting clear on what really matters to you and how that impacts your relationships

- A lack of community is not your fault, but it is your responsibility
