Laura and Heather bring together their individual podcasts "Welcome to the Wild" and "Hot Widowed Mess" for an unfiltered conversation about navigating relationships after significant life changes.

• Communication is essential in relationships, especially during disagreements
• Fighting fair means avoiding name-calling and focusing on the relationship, not just winning arguments
• Past trauma can trigger worst-case scenario thinking in new relationships
• Setting boundaries is necessary for protecting yourself while still being open to connection
• Red flags in dating include love bombing, lack of reciprocity, and inability to respect personal space
• Finding balance between giving chances and knowing when to walk away
• The importance of maintaining your own identity and interests within relationships
• Dating as parents creates unique challenges around timing and introducing children

Life after loss or divorce doesn't follow a predictable path, but building resilience means taking relationships at your own pace and honoring your needs along the way.
