Summary

On today’s episode, I sit down with Whitney Goodman, licensed marriage & family therapist, and author of Toxic Positivity. We discuss toxic positivity and why we're all guilty of it, why we need to stop thinking about what "could have been,” best ways to move on, differentiating loneliness and regret, how to be happy for an ex when you've moved on, dealing with a low sex drive in a relationship, how to handle with a partner with depression, switching up the day to day conversation with your SO, and so much more! The episode starts with a solo where I discuss my recent trip, having different vacation styles with your partner, patience during sex, and my obsession with my husband’s past.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.5	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met It Acme. I am very excited for today's episode with Whitney Goodman.
0:12.8	I've been following her on Instagram for a while and looking at all of the things that she
0:18.7	posts. She's a licensed marriage and family therapist. She has a book that's out now about toxic
0:25.0	positivity. So I highly recommend that you check it out. We're going to put the link in the episode
0:31.9	notes. So definitely check it out. If it's a term you're like, what is that? I don't believe that
0:38.5	that's a thing. Then you should definitely read it and also listen to this episode today. Before we
0:44.9	get into it, I'm going to talk a little bit about my trip that I just got back from. I literally
0:49.8	actually just got back like two hours ago and I'm recording this the night that I landed because
0:57.0	I don't like being late for submitting my episodes to Marshall. Hey Marshall, how's it going?
1:03.1	So I'm first going to talk about the trip a little bit and a few things that you asked me to
1:08.2	talk about. But I want to save a lot of it for the solo bonus episode that we're releasing on

1:23.6	like you as a couple and another couple and just that whole dynamic and rules around it because
1:28.9	I think it's fascinating. And I've had so many experiences first hand with it recently.
1:35.5	And just have a lot to say in the matter. Oh, and quickly before I get into my trip and
1:42.2	any questions, just want to remind you guys that we have so many amazing events coming up. We have a
1:49.0	show in SF, a show in LA and a show in Austin as well as we met at camp coming right around the
1:58.0	corner, which I'm so excited for. So if you're looking for tickets for any of these things,
2:03.7	just go to wemedadacme.com. It's under events. And I hope to see you all there. I actually am so
2:11.6	dumb and I messed up the dates. I thought SF was on Sunday and LA was on Saturday. So I had to
2:20.3	rebook all my hotels, but LA is September 10th and SF will be September 11th. So oh wait,
