Relationship, Are You Sure You Want One?: Why Partnership Should Be a Choice, Not a Necessity w/ Simone Milasas and Brendon Watt

We’re often taught that being in a relationship is the goal—but what if partnership isn’t something we need in order to have a fulfilling life? Julie & Yue are joined by Simone Milasas and Brendon Watt, co-authors of Relationship.: Are You Sure You Want One?, to challenge the idea that being partnered is inherently better than being single. After consciously uncoupling from their own long-term relationship, they share what they learned about choosing partnership, creating a meaningful life independently, and redefining what a successful relationship can look like.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why we’re so conditioned to believe we need a relationship
• How to tell the difference between wanting a partner and needing one
• Why a fulfilling life doesn’t have to revolve around romantic partnership
• What makes a relationship genuinely enhance your life
• How to choose relationships from desire and intention rather than fear or expectation
