Anna’s back and we’re talking about my new relationship—the first one that actually feels easy in all the right ways.

We get into dom/sub dynamics, weird DMs from a guy offering to work for free, and Anna warning me I’m gonna get blackmailed. My response? “So he’s going to be making all my social media assets for me for free… with a boner? That’s fine with me.”

Also: dating rules, sleeping together early, and how in marriage, you either grow together or grow apart.

From the I Wish You Knew Podcast, Adam Smith and Andrey Korikov break down why modern relationships are struggling—and what we can do to fix them. From the neuroscience behind attachment to the biology of bonding (yes, men and women really do connect differently), we explore how stress, sex, and communication shape connection.

We break down why conflict isn’t something to avoid—but the key to building trust. Plus, why the divorce rate is falling not because relationships are thriving, but because younger generations have stopped marrying altogether. Most people don’t know what a healthy relationship looks like—let alone how to be a partner.

Adam shares his CEO–COO model: a high-functioning partnership framework rooted in shared purpose, executive-level communication, and teamwork. We also discuss actionable strategies to connect with avoidant partners, communicate clearly, and rebuild the lost relational skills our culture has forgotten.

You probably know her as The Bachelorette, but there’s so much more to Hannah Brown than roses and reality TV.

In this episode, Hannah opens up about everything from falling in love with Adam when she wasn’t looking, to living apart, to building a relationship grounded in faith, values, and a whole lot of growth. We talk about heartbreak, healing, boundaries, and what it really takes to know your worth—whether the cameras are rolling or not.

Plus, Hannah gives us a peek into her new book, The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain (hello, beach read of the summer!), how writing fiction helped her exaggerate her own chaos (in the best way), and why “doing it scared” is her motto—even when her Type A brain is like, “Wait, what are we doing?”
