Episode Description

In this episode, I’m breaking down 10 practical, low-pressure ways to build emotional closeness that feel fun, natural, and mutual so you’re not stuck carrying all the weight of “going deep.” I’ll show you how to connect through shared experiences, create emotional safety, and build trust without forcing heavy conversations, plus why emotional intimacy is more than just talking about your feelings. You’ll also hear a listener Q&A on oversharing, one-sided connection, and giving things time to develop, a Dating Dilemma on whether “too slow” is a red flag, and a Text Support breakdown of when not to offer a second date.
