    Here is a draft podcast description thanking listeners and signing off:


    After over 100 episodes and 4 incredible years, the time has come to bring the Wonderland - Beyond The Looking Glass podcast to a close, at least for now.


    When we started this podcast back in 2020, we never imagined the community and conversations it would create. We set out to have balanced talks, share some laughs, and impart relationship lessons, but it turned into so much more.


    The open and thoughtful dialogue in each episode encouraged vulnerability, reflection, and growth not just for us, but for thousands of you listeners as well. Many of you have reached out over the years to share how an episode or concept profoundly shifted your perspective or improved your relationships. Know that you all have also left an indelible mark on us.


    We are so grateful for every like, subscribe, review, and message. Thank you for welcoming us into your lives through your earbuds each week - it has been an honor. The connections, understandings, and wisdom forged here will stay with us well beyond this farewell.


    While we may be signing off for now, remember that each ending opens the door for new beginnings. We hope you’ll carry the lessons from Wonderland with you moving forward and pay them forward. Perhaps our paths will cross again down the rabbit hole someday soon.


    Until then, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you, and may you always be the main character in your story!

  • S1E5 - Defining The Boundaries of Your Relationship
    Nov 27 2023

    Having “the talk” to determine if you and your potential partner are on the same page about relationship hopes, expectations, and boundaries is crucial, yet often awkward. When is the optimal time to initiate this critical conversation before assumptions derail a promising connection’s growth?

    This episode discusses how defining the relationship too hastily can activate avoidant behaviors. However, clear communication early on alleviates ambiguity about needs and compatibility.

    This episode offers guidance on broaching topics like time spent together, integrating with friend groups, social media habits, expressions of intimacy, future goals, and unusual deal breakers.

    While no magic formula exists, typically these talks happen once mutual care is established but before attachments form. Your unique pace and priorities should drive timing. We hope to provide advice on framing discussions in constructive ways that honor each person’s expectations.
